  • The ill-fated Milwaukee Mega Jam took place on the lakefront Summerfest grounds; June 4, 1993. The weather was unnaturally cold and dreary with a stiff breeze off Lake Michigan holding the temperature in the 40s(F), resulting in attendance in only the low hundreds. When the rain hit, the rest of the event -- headliners Agent Orange and The Dickies (along with Tar and The Didjits) -- was moved inside to The Unicorn club. Here you see Green Day introduce a new song to the dispirited crowd eight months before it became a huge MTV hit upon the release of the Dookie LP. You also catch a portion of the infamous cocktail wiener incident!

    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.

      bc they recorded Dookie over a weekend. Rob Cavallo said it was one of the most incredible sessions he'd ever had. He said Billie did vocals in 1 take per song.

      @ohbuehler7863 Год назад

      @@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:

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).

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.

    I may be wrong, but at 3:16 it sounds like somebody shouts the iconic “YOU WILL” that can be heard on the studio recording. I always thought the guy that shouted it in the studio did it randomly, I guess it was a thing prior to 1994 as well?

      This was in the peak of their drug experimentation days. The bass player wrote the riff for Longview when he was tripping on acid and recorded it and then it took him 6 weeks to learn how to play it
