Me playing the demo version of the title song from the new Green Day album. Hope you'll like It! :)

guitar: Ibanez RG 350DX
amp: Roland Cube 30X
settings:
bass: 6 middle: 7 treble: 7
gain: 7 reverb: 2
pickup: stock bridge
(I'm using the "Dyna Amp" mode on the Roland Cube)

lyrics:
"Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell.
A welfare child where the teamsters dwell.
The last one born, the first one to run.
My town was blind from the refinery sun.

My generation is zero.
I never made it as a working class hero.
21st century breakdown.
I once was lost but never was found.
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline.

I was made of poison and blood.
Condemnation is what I understood.
From Mexico to the Berlin wall.
Homeland security could kill us all.

My generation is zero.
I never made it as a working class hero.
21st century breakdown.
I once was lost but never was found.
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline.

We are the cries of the class of thirteen.
Born in the era of humility.
We are the desperate and in the decline.
Raised by the bastards of 1969.

My name is 'no-one', the long lost son.
Born on the 4th of July.
Raising the bygones of heroes and cons.
Left me for dead or alive.
There is the war that's inside my head
That questions the results and lies.
While breaking my back til I'm damn near well dead.
When enough ain't enough to survive.

I am a nation, a worker, a pawn.
My debt to the status quo.
The scars on my hands are a means to an end.
It's all that I have to show.

I'm taking a loan on my sanity.
For the redemption of my soul.
Well I am exempt from this tragedy and the 21st century fall.

Praise, Liberty
The freedom to obey
It's a song that strangles me
Well, don't cross the line

Oh dream, American dream.
I can't leave and see from rainstorms 'til dawn.
Oh bleed, America bleed.
Believe what you read from heroes and cons."

do power chords or barr chords sound better?

[DavEhungary1]

@rockersophie26 In this cover I used powerchords only. Billie Joe plays it with open chords (and half step down tuning). I don't bar chords in that song but I think both sound great. The sound depends on your guitar and amp too. :)

[rtyankeedoodle]

Did u use distortion pedal?

[DavEhungary1]

@rtyankeedoodle No, I didn't. I used my Roland Cube amp only. 

[ivanljubicicac123]

What amp are you using?

[DavEhungary1]

@ivanljubicicac123 Roland Cube 30X.
