E boogie what era did TLE start playing it?

[_jimmy_]

does anyone know or have any recordings of any old e boogies?

[The Dying Start]

First started playing it in 2000 when they were touring Roll On around the world.
It was originally called Psycho Twist.
The first versions had a pizzicato bass solo rather than slap bass....although the notes are the same.
The original versions had no bottle slide solo...and obviously no Mystery Train intro (which is only a year or so old)
The original versions had a drum solo by Trav, and the track was without a drum solo after Andy joined until only recently.
There are some old recordings floating around...but not many. I'll try to track down some.

[_jimmy_]

could you put them on ur site ?

[Bec]

Just wondering, was there any particular reason why Andy didn't keep the solo in until recently?

[Julian]

I don't think he was too keen on it at first.

[Bec]

Fair enough, is Andy's drum solo now the sameish as what Trav's was?
Sorry for all the questions, just curious.

[The Dying Start]

Just wondering, was there any particular reason why Andy didn't keep the solo in until recently?

He's always stated that he just wanted to play the drums, and not show off...that's what Chris and Scott are out the front for. But i'm glad someone has conned him into it. It probably also reflects how comfortable he is with his identitiy in the band now.

[Julian]

I'm interested too. I'd love to hear an old recording of it

[The Dying Start]

Fair enough, is Andy's drum solo now the sameish as what Trav's was?

Nothing like it. And I personally don't like Trav's much at all. Andy's fits the song perfectly. :)

[Julian]

Haven't heard Travs but I totally agree with you on Andy's fitting the song well. When I first heard he was doing one I thought it fuck up the flow of the song but it makes it so much better.

[Bec]

Thankyou very much :) I haven't heard Trav's but I agree about Andy's fitting the song well.
I'd also love to hear a recording if anyone has one?

Edit: Ahh sorry Julian, your post hadn't come up when I posted. Freaky.

[The Dying Start]

I'll try to find one and upload it sometime soon.

[Bec]

Yay! Thanks Glenn

[Julian]

Define soon :p

has nothing to do with the thread - but on the topic of drum solos. Does anyone have a video of Hold up with Chris n Andy doin their call and return thingo. I have the one on FHOI but i want a full song one. If anyone has one PM me.

[The Dying Start]

They played Hold Up @ Livid '03, so that vid will be floating around somewhere

[Erin]

there's one from splender '05 isn't there? or maybe i just want one...

[Habibster]

Yes i'm pretty sure there was one at Splendour '05...i think they played a bit on the 'SOE:How to make an album and influence people' DVD...I think that's what it was called

[The Dying Start]

I should be getting some Splendour stuff soon...if Hold Up is part of it i'll rip he video.

[hillaas]

That'd be cool as! Seeing as they dont play it often then i doubt many people would have it.

[The Dying Start]

They seem to go through patches where they play it. Back when MA first came out they tended to alternate between EOTW & Hold Up...

[graverobbin'bastard]

I was wondering when they started playing it myself. I didn't realize they'd played it for so long.

[graverobbin'bastard]

They played hold up when I saw them in Toronto. Good stuff I say

[hillaas]

You lucky B******. I wanna see hold up. Does anyone still have that email adress froating around where you can request songs for the concert you are going to?

[Erin]

Its already been talied, but do what i've been doing and nag the crap outa them on their myspace. i wanna know that they played hold up on the 20th and 21st.

[graverobbin'bastard]

You lucky B******. I wanna see hold up. Does anyone still have that email adress froating around where you can request songs for the concert you are going to?

haha I'm not gonna lie but it was pretty derned great. Speaking of them as a live band. One thing I really liked about the set was they played a pretty even mix of old and new stuff with the exception of really old stuff from the ep's and that

[hillaas]

OK - i'm gonna go and comment heaps on their myspace to get hold up. That seems like a good idea!

Yeah - i like how they do that. I don't like it when bands play about a third of their new stuff and a third old - it has to be spread out i say.

[graverobbin'bastard]

I like a nice even mix. I understand wanting to play the new stuff and I do want to hear it live but I don't only want to hear new stuff hah

[hillaas]

But they do need a bit of the new stuff for the people that only know SOE. That like when i went to my forst Green Day gig at the start of last year. All i knew was the American Idiot album and the song Good Riddance. It was bad when they played songs that i didn't know cos i didn't know em but when they played ones i did - i was rockin out!

[graverobbin'bastard]

yeah but they gotta play stuff for the long time fans aswell. Hence needing a nice mix. PLus wasn't it nice hearing stuff you didn't know? By the way american idiot is a great album!

[hillaas]

Yeah. Well after that concert i went and got a lot of their old albums and then when they came 9 months later i knew every song and it was soooo good!

[graverobbin'bastard]

also the old stuff is great. I loove the album warning the one before american idiot. Minority is soo good

[The Dying Start]

Alot of people hated Warning, and i don't know why. I love it.

[hillaas]

Dookie and American Idiot are the best albums by Green Day (in my opinion).

[graverobbin'bastard]

Alot of people hated Warning, and i don't know why. I love it.

cause it's awesome. It's the album that made me like green day again after years of hating them haha

[graverobbin'bastard]

hey glenn, if you like warning you might dig this street punk band called one man army. there's a few songs on warning tha tremind me of them mostly minority. Actually One man army was on adeline for their second album

[Jonesie]

Alot of people hated Warning, and i don't know why. I love it.

It's actually my favorite Green Day album.

Their most mature by far.

[_jimmy_]

i fave would have to be dookie or american idiot, dookie just has a simple kinda of feel to it, and american idiot just shows how much better greenday have gotten.

[hillaas]

Their most mature by far.

I'd say American Idiot is the most mature one yet. Not only they lyrics to the ssongs but also their image cleaned up and instead of being some rowdy punk kids, they started wearing ties and pants etc.

[Disease]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they wore pants before.

Also, their image is still 'punk'.

[graverobbin'bastard]

the way people dress is less important. I hate that some people feel once they hit a certain age tht they must dress differently. Bullshit! dress how you want do what you want like what you want that is it!

[graverobbin'bastard]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they wore pants before.

pants are for suckers, oh wait I'm wearing pants damn haha

[Habibster]

Sorry to be a party pooper but what is the name of this thread people ??? ;)

[hillaas]

Green Day .

[The Dying Start]

Sooooo tempted to edit the Topic to "Green Day Wear No Pants"

[_jimmy_]

everyone knows that greenday is making a new album but theyre already recording some stuff, theyre also doing a cover with U2.
go here to find out more www.greenday.com

[worry_rock]

Sooooo tempted to edit the Topic to "Green Day Wear No Pants"

dooooooooooo ittttttt!

Haha, speaking of Green Day, gotta say, Nimrod is probably my favourite album by them. Got it around 1998, my first GD cd ever and I love it to bits. I used to be (and kind of still am...but not so much now) a really big GD fan. But I've got to 'fess up to something...I don't own all their albums. The ones with frowny faces are the ones I don't have...

The board would be totally useless as a ready-reference. :rolleyes:

[hillaas]

Hehe - its funny cos it's true!

I LOVE GREENDAY SOOOO MUCH AND BILLY-JOE IS SO FUCKIN HOT!!!!!!! LIKE OMGGZZZZZZZ GREENDAY

[The Dying Start]

You overstepped the mark.

[tanguyen]

[Amur]

Definition of Soon:" any time in the future, spanning from days to YEARS!"
that's so right! Glenn haven't uploaded a version with Trav solo in it yet.:rolleyes:

[TreCoola]

I loved Warning. It's in rotation for my favorite Green Day album. Insomniac is out on top right now though. :D

I knew a lot of people didn't like Shenanigens but I'd never think anyone could hate Warning.

Kerplunk! :(
Oh man. You're missing out!
That's another one that tends to come out on top for me a lot.

[Evil Chris]

Didn't Chris play a sample during the Roll On demos on FHOI?

[_jimmy_]

when they're in the studio recording demos? i think that was it, but just the thunder struck sounding bit, i got an early version of e-boogie where it goes straight into the main riff, but i dont know how to upload it!

[MONDAY]

haha cool thanks

[Grumma]

Did either of those have Trav's solo cos I'll learn how to play it?

[Swede_TLE]

thanks for uploading....

[The Dying Start]

Both would have, Grumma.

[Grumma]

Awsome. :cool:

As long as the bass drum is audible I should be able to learn one of em pretty accurate

[The Dying Start]

They're typically Trav, so you could probably recreate them by just flailing madly for 20 seconds.

[Grumma]

haha probably. Just make a wall of noise where no instrument can be easily distinguished; bound to fool any non-musician.

Nah even if I can't hear the bass drum I could probably guess where he put it in. Or I'll just make it up as I go (like I do with most things)

[Grumma]

Eh well the first version doesn't have a drum solo, and the second one lasts about 12 seconds and is pretty much just a couple of snare rolls mixed up with a bit of bass drum but we'll see how we go

*edit* it's 8 seconds and the bass drum is on the quarter notes (wonders of being able to slow it down and amplify the bass ^_^)

[The Dying Start]

Congratulations. Have a cookie.

[ace_jase]

Cheers Glenn

Theyre awesome. I never knew the Psycho T one existed

What are the chances that we may be able to here some more from those 2 sets?

The chances are pretty good. I just don't know when at this stage.

[Grumma]

Congratulations. Have a cookie.

Oh I will :)

[mattheal]

where do you get all these tracks glenn?

[tainted_love]

They play a Mystery Train intro now? :O

They didn't do this when I saw them not too long ago.

I must hear this!

[The Dying Start]

It depends how long ago "not too long ago" ws. They may well have moved on now. But they've been doing Mystery Train since 2004 in the US, pretty much.

[tainted_love]

I've seen them twice in the last year, is this since they stopped playing it?

I love the song Mystery Train and I highly doubt they could play it without me realising it. Perhaps they've stopped doing it.

[The Dying Start]

Chrs just plays it to start E-Boogie. Then they do the audience shout-back bit. And then The actual crux of the song starts. Chris has also done Mr Sandman at the very start...i think instead of Mystery Train.

[mattheal]

chris did both when they played in canberra last year

[Johnny_Wah]

Yeah, from the videos I've seen, if Chris does Mr Sandman he'll do the Mystery Train bit as well.

[The Dying Start]

I can never remember if he does both or swaps.
