Longview used to sound so jazzy way before Dookie was released

Listening to it now I think they had to play it slower cause Mike was still in the process of mastering the riff. Funny to see because it's such a legendary song now and this was when it was brand new, even to them.

"Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it."

Green Day sounds exactly like a studio album when they play live.

@@DZ-cf6sj - none of that is true tho, at least if you believe articles written about recording the album that speak to the engineers and other crew behind it. rob cavallo was green day's producer for a long time as i'm sure you know as well as a warner records executive so he's pretty much a hype man and an unreliable source. the real story is that it was recorded over 3 weeks and the vocals weren't perfect enough to not use comps ( where they take all of the takes, slice 'em up and combine them into one as-perfect-as-possible take). the following article gets some details wrong but it's stuff people don't know about like calling a "fernandez" a "mexican strat", but for the stuff the engineers should know about it, it's believable. anyhow, source for all of this is this article in industry mag sound on sound: www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-green-day-basket-case

​@georgejetson1025 I don't know you, internet stranger, but I do know human nature. I wonder if you'd turn down millions of dollars and watch your music dreams sputter and fail simply because you cared more about 'not selling out' than being successful. Green Day decided to be successful and that's okay.

They kinda did sellout because they became so poppy and less Punk sounding on each album. At least compared to other bands of their time. I like their simplistic 70s Punk influence of Dookie and their previous albums. Insomniac too. And Nice Guys Finish Last from Nimrod. But they they got less Punk after that.

"My mother says to get a job, but she don't like the one she's got." Apparently Billie Joe regretted that line. His mom was a waitress and kept the job for 20+ years after Green Day made it big. One of their early gigs was even at the restaurant she worked at. (Source: Ian Winwood's book Smash and Kerrang).

Michael Ryan Pritchard (Berkeley, California; 4 de mayo de 1972), más conocido como Mike Dirnt, es un músico estadounidense, reconocido por ser el bajista de la banda de punk rock Green Day. Su nombre artístico era originalmente un apodo de sus amigos en la escuela primaria, ya que era el sonido que producía al tocar el bajo; un «dirnt, dirnt, dirnt» mientras tocaba las cuerdas.
