American Idiot

Our bands demo tape is finished! Listen an let me know wht you think

I'm singer Btw

as much as i despise green day, its a decent cover.

Thank you! Thats means alot commin' from a none GD Fan any1 else?

very good

It was good as in you pretty much nailed both the musical and vocal aspects of the song, but it just sounds exactly like the original. The whole point of a cover version is to give your own interpretation of the song, not copy it exactly.

Well its only a demo tape when weve got our own material i'll post it 2. Hey! Maybe this could be the Official Sound/Check thread!

Well allow me to start by introducing the band

Ja a.k.a ME! singer/gituarist

Heres a link to the Official site: Sound Check official

Um...Enjoy i guess

OMG! I forgot i had this!!! Ladies and gentelmen presenting "Better Way our own song! Enjoy

the backdrop in those pictures looks pretty proffesional, were you playing a show or something?

that is pretty good, the Original song was pretty impresive. Me and my buddies are in a band so we can really appreciate this stuff and how hard it is to write your own stuff.

Ordinarily that'd be so...

But if Greenish Day are a Green Day tribute band then the name of the game is often regarded to be getting it as close to the original as possible (as with most tribute acts)...
And in that regard these lads have succeeded I'd say....
Well done.

They have their own material, so they can't be a full-on tribute band.

Tribute bands for groups who still exist and are still recording and performing are completely pointless anyway in my view.

Fair enough...
But musicians in tribute bands are still allowed to record and get creative.... whether or not they choose to include those songs in their tribute set is perhaps another question...

I thought it was pretty good. Original song was pretty good too.

Dude that was crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wel...U can't please everyone! Love us or hate us.








































































Oh...**** you btw!

For being a cover and all it was good really, it was a great cover.
Rockon you could be more clear on why it was crap, did he sing bad? play bad? the man put his time and energy into it, at least you could give him a vaild reason to why it was so awefully bad

it bloody, was the same as the original. he most probably didnt sing it but recorded to make it sound like it was sung by him.

Thats the point of being a tribute band, making it sound like the original

wow that was awesome and i hate punk from the bottom of my heart but that was some good stuff.keep on rockin

Thanks If you hate Punk but like this then we must be doing a good job! Hehe

They're more like soft rock. Stupid as it sounds, they make way too much money to have any roots left any more.

um... nah

sorry but tht is bull

2-d, i absolutely despise green day but your cover is good. I like YOUR singing more than the original green day singer. your singing is very tolerable (compliment). Ya i think the point of a cover is to put your own twist on it.

-im in a hardcore screamo band and i amazed at the quality of sound. how do you record your music

Sorry to inform you, but Green Day isnt punk Punk's been dead for about 25-30 years.

i dunno. Listen to a band called From First To Last. They are POP PUNK/hardcore... and they are not even really poppy.

Anyway were off the subject! HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM SOUND/CHECK! Keep it rockin' to the new year

ah yes, the topic your band.

well MY BAND scarletSTRIKESfirst is playing a show with The Black Maria, check the black maria at purevolume, theyre big, not mainstream big though, i hate mainstream.

Sound/Check played at netherton arts center in england last week to a crowd of over 150 people pictures of the gig are up for view at sound-check.co.uk

Anyway, What else have I been up to? I've spent the last month working on some graffiti art. I bought an airbrush too. I wanted to turn Berns tour bus into something that looked like the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine. But Bern said he would smash my face in if I touched it. So I just did a bit on my skateboard. It looks real '70s now.

Sound/Check are playing at NEC in birminham england on the 23rd of July support Bullet for my valentine and the new incarnation of Guns N Roses.

I'd like to thank Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal for giving us this amazing apportuinity

On a smaller note we will be playing the Rock Cafe 2000 in strourbridge england on July 3rd as part of there weekly "Jamming Night"

Hope to see...some of you there

new line up, New Website , new songs , New era vist www.sound-check.co.nr
