You know when Billie sings? Does anyone else find it somewhat difficult to understand what he's saying sometimes?

Like, I'll listen to some songs and be able to make out like maybe every other word, but I can't tell 100% what he's singing.

But as soon as I look up lyrics, and I know the song, then I listen to it again, it sounds so clear. I woundered if this was just me or if other people have this problem. lol

It depends on how fast the song is for me. I mean, there are some songs, like Give me Novicane (I can't spell it and I don't want to look it up) and I can understand that without the lyrics. But I can't understand Jaded until I looked at the lyrics... and I think some lyrics are wrong to the songs, because I look it up but it doesn't sound like those are the right words (not to Jaded, but to other songs).

[stars mystify]

Yeah, Novicane was really easy, but the first time I listened to certain parts of JOS, I couldn't quite make out what he was saying exactly.

[Veggi Girl]

Well, there are always those few lyrics in just about ever song that I can't really understand until I read the lyrics... Like, it took me forever to figure out that he was saying Meth Amphetamine in one song and rideline in another (lol... both are drug references and I didn't notice that until I typed the second one). And 7-11 gave me trouble too. It may just be where the words are in the song and which ones he feels need emphasising, and those are the words we can understand.

I love the way he sings, it just takes me a while to get it. But once I do... *sigh* It's just... beautiful. lol Like in Holiday, the "I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies...." blah, blah... I had NO idea what he said. And then I found out, and it was SOOO obvious. It's weird.

[Veggi Girl]

lol. I love his voice. They all have great voices, but I think Billie's is just a little more difficult to understand, but only in some songs for me. Holiday did give me a little trouble too come to think of it... But not a lot. I wish the other guys would sing more though. The do occasionally, but I would really like to hear more. Not that Billie's voice isn't awesome. I love his voice! I just would really like to hear Tré and Mike too.

[stars mystify]

There's something about Billie's voice that's so... unique. The whole band is very unique. Like if they come on the radio, you'll KNOW it's Green Day. And I agree with you, I'd like to hear Tré and Mike more.

[Veggi Girl]

I know. I think it's so funny that there are pop bands and whatnot that sound the same... but NO ONE sounds like Green Day. I like that about them.

[stars mystify]

Yeah, no offense to anyone, but bands like Fall Out Boy sound like all the other bands, like Blink 182 and stuff. I'm not that crazy about My Chemical Romance either.

[Veggi Girl]

THANK YOU! That's all I have to say. I mean, I like them... but they are definitely nothing to obsess about. I gotta go now though. Be back in bout an hour!

[stars mystify]

Oo yay someone who agrees with me! Every1 at my school LOVES Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, I'm like the only one who doesn't liek them. lol

[Veggi Girl]

lol. Don't get me wrong. I listen to them. I burned the FOB cd... but I think I listened to it once. I definitely like Green Day WAAAAAY better.

[stars mystify]

The only time I saw them was at the Big in 05 awards, they were okay... I wouldnt get a cd though.

[Veggi Girl]

lol. Yeah, me burning it was like, I really don't want to spend money on it.

[ilovejon]

i think when you first get a cd you can't really understand what he is saying cause you don't know the words but once you look at the lyrics and memorize them you can understand everything completely.
