Might go ahead and make a new Trilogy playlist, it's been a while since I've revisited those tracks

 

Milan November 7th and London November 10th

 

Oh god the Hella Tiny tour

 

I’m going to be in the UK next week so fingers crossed for London! The lottery thing is stressing me out

 

Hoping they show up for Primavera Sound. They play May 30th and June 1st in Spain, the 31st would be perfect for a Barcelona date. The Madrid date has Interrupters, Donots and the Hives but then Nothing but Thieves just before GD and I don’t like them at all.

 

I just went back and listened to FOAM for the first time since it came out. Yep, still sucks. I think I liked about 2 songs.

 

I know a lot of people like Butch Walker and I like some of his identities that he’s employed in his solo career but I feel like he’s also produced at least two of the absolute worst albums by bands I love.

 

He talks about that.

COS

Keep in mind, as a producer, this is the ugly side, where longtime fans of a band hear that they want to “broaden their horizons” and do something different, and the first thing they do is shoot the producer. They hate the producer because the formula for their Coca-Cola got changed and they are very mad because of a band wanting to do something different.

To Green Day’s credit, this vision was Billie’s. This was his vision. It wasn’t like I came in and said “let’s change it all up, let’s make a ’70s glam throwback record.” But at the same time, this was the kind of shit that he was into at the time, and it’s my wheelhouse. I love making records like that and those are huge influences for me too, I grew up on glam and power pop and metal and rock. So we had a great time making it and it was absolutely a collaborative effort. We spent a lot of time sending files back and forth — COVID was looming but it hadn’t hit yet. They have a very over-qualified massive studio in Oakland and of course, I have my sandbox, and I was like, “Hey, I work best in my sandbox,” and Billie would be like, “Okay, cool, I usually work best in mine.” So I was like, “Great, let’s send stuff back and forth and then we’ll get into the studio.”

 

What's the other one? I just don't know what Green Day was doing on this one. It feels really half-baked, almost like a bunch of demos or B-Sides or something

 

I don’t really extend the comment beyond the basic fact that he happened to be the guy in the producer’s chair for them. I 100% put the creative culpability on Green Day and, to answer the other post above, Rivers Cuomo (Raditude).

Just interesting to me since both bands are capable of being great and I personally love them but their worst records were produced by the same feller.

 

I actually think Raditude is over-hated but I hear you

 

I thought we were talking about Pacific Daydream. People seem to absolutely hate that record, and it was produced by Butch.

 

Pacific Daydream is oddly boring for a “bad Weezer” record in that there aren’t like awful Rivers choices, it’s just not really trying to be anything approaching what some would view as their strengths. And it’s a bit varied and has some more modern pop things going on so I think it actually has some fans. Black Album immediately overshadowed it as far as having WTF Rivers choices (but High as a Kite is so good on that album, pre-OK Human test run).

 

i love LOVE Mexican Fender. For that alone, the album gets a pass for me

 

Mexican Fender, Weekend Woman, Sweet Mary. Definitely some good tracks on there.

 

Here's my playlist of trilogy songs if anybody wants to check it out. I think these are the best tracks, just kinda rearranged them to my liking haha

 

Never understood the hate for Pacific Daydream

 

Scored a GA pit ticket for Citi Field. $288 all-in in case people were curious about prices.

 

Can’t say I’m a fan of Pacific Daydream, but it does have some fun songs. I’d be lying if I said Mexican Fender and Feels Like Summer aren’t bops

 

Wow

 

Thanks for posting. That prices me out. Damn

 

Other seats are cheaper, that’s just for the pit

 

Still cheaper than blink pit lol
