to all those who say its recorded... no fukkin way. there is another guitarist near jason freese (or hidden somewhere) you can see him on the letterman version
There are plenty of inconsistencies between the album vocals, and live vocals (if you bothered to listen and give it a thought, it's not hard to spot), so definitely no lip syncing going on here...
@MrBCRMBST Definitely not lip synching but there probably is a backing track. I think I heard they had to use a backing track for the American Idiot tour, not sure why, it was only for this song they did it
@MrGreenDayLive Billie's not lip synching, but it sounds like the background vocals may be recorded. Either way I've lost some respect for them. There's no reason Billie couldn't have handled chords while Mike Dirnt handled the tremolo part and the fills. If the whole song isn't live, none of it is :(
@MrGreenDayLive Obviously when they play live it's only them, but here they are using a backing track because it's not an important performance. if it was an important performance they would had 3 guitarists: Mike Dirnt, Billie (on chorus) and another one that i do not have the data of him, but I've seen them live and there is another guitarist
@MrGreenDayLive Well this is definitely live! No lip syncing. The reason why there is the melody track at the back is because I doubt Billie has a guitar tech that can actually switch from a clean chorus verb tone to a full fledged distortion with boost. That's like stepping on 3 pedals at once and then activating 2 more! Part 1:07- 1:09 really proves he's singing. He goes a little off. Listen to '' till then''
@MrGreenDayLive Haha I apologise for clicking on the incorrect user. I meant to reply to MrBCRMBST. Although I do hope the comment would save you trouble of having to reply to lip syncing issues. Cheers and thanks for the upload! Am very sorry for the incorrect reply!
@mercybrkr yep you're right...plus you can tell he isn't lip synching because he screws the lyrics up...he says "my shallow's the only one that walks beside me" instead of "my shadow's" in first chorus
@MrBCRMBST the tremolo guitar you hear in the intro and through the verses is a backing track, hense why tre is using headphones, he will also be hearing a click so he stays at the right tempo to be in time with the tremolo when it comes back in.
seeing as all it is is a 4 bar sample theres not really much point in having another guitarist on stage to play it.
@MrBCRMBST They use a backing track of the tremola effect in bouevard of broken dreams. There is also a track for the interlude parts... They did this because there are only two guitars on stage but four for the song.
@MrBCRMBST jason plays the chords in the verse, mike has to play the bass part, the tremolo part and little fills are a backing track because otherwise theyd need more than 2 guitarists... Playing live is much harder than you might think
@MrBCRMBST : It's not a lip sync. Yes there is a backing track.. it doesn't mean billie can't handle chords.. How stupid is that, it's his profession to play guitar... Anyways backing track is because of the low budget of the event itself.. That's why he is only playing during the chorus..
Green Day was an amazing band that changed punk music for the world. Now they are a crappy commercial band for kids. If they hadn't become sell outs I wouldn't have got into metal which I realised was far superior than punk. You want decent music, listen to Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon, Escape The Fate and Slipknot. Don't become victim's to Green Day's newest sold out crap. If you want good, non-commercial music listen to al those. By the way, 21CB = HORSECRAP
@DOAdrummer Ur Odviously a Fucking Retard im sorry but A7X etc Are All Shit, + u the reason u like them is 'coz u don't like sell outs well thats exactly what those bands are doing! (you retard)
I listen de toekomst jb nu u Fucking hate jb green day awesome as f k green day american idiot dooie 39smooth

I believe the reason it sound like it is because this is recorded from off the t.v. on NBC and could have gotten a little off sync. while recording
