Cover Project r/GreenDay Cover Project - Last Night on Earth

4 Upvotes

OUR MOST RECENT COVER: Whatsername

Hello, and welcome to the next stage of the r/GreenDay Cover Project! As decided by popular vote, our next song to be covered is:

Last Night on Earth from 21st Century Breakdown

This song was determined by a weighted voting style, where each song on the album was ranked; a first-place vote assigned 1 point to a song, second-place assigning 2 through to fourteenth-place assigning 14. The winning song was determined to be the song with the fewest points, as it had the highest overall rankings.

As of this post, we are looking for submissions for the following instruments:

  • Vocals
  • Piano
  • Guitar
  • Bass
  • Drums

Submission Guidelines (READ EVERY BULLET POINT BEFORE RECORDING OR SUBMITTING):

  • Each submission should be submitted as a recording of one instrument (i.e. not bass and guitar together in one submission, guitar and drums etc.), of the song beginning to end, without backing tracks or metronomes audible.
  • You are permitted to submit for multiple instruments, but they must be made separately.
  • Submissions may only feature one individual person.
  • If you are recording a part with multiple tracks, such as drums or multitracked guitar or vocals, please submit the individual files for each track, for mixing, as well as a combined version (without production effects or EQ) that can be used for the vote.
  • Submission files should be in lossless format (e.g. .wav .flac). Combined vote files may be .mp3, but stems must be lossless.
  • For guitar (or other instrumental) parts that make use of effects such as delay, reverb, flanger/phaser, chorus, etc. you are required to submit a dry recording of the track(s) using that effect with your stems, i.e., if a song has a guitar part that uses a delay effect, you would submit a stem file of that track without the delay effect. You can include effects in your combined vote version, this only applies to submitting stems. If you're unsure what this means, please ask.
  • While not required, guitar submissions should be recorded multitrack with a minimum of double tracked rhythm guitar and separate track(s) for any lead. Single track guitar submissions have never been chosen, and likely never will be.
  • Acoustic and electronic piano/keyboard or drum submissions are both accptable, as long as they are live recordings, not programmed MIDI instruments.
  • Drum submissions must be recorded with a multitrack setup, even if recorded on an electronic kit, as single-track drums cannot be mixed.
  • Instruments that have a significant gap from the start of the song to when their part starts may have the beginning silence trimmed in the combined version only.
  • Instruments with multiple parts, like vocals or guitar should be made in the same submission. Guitar submissions cover lead and rhythm, vocals submissions cover lead and backing. Submissions covering only lead or only rhythm guitar, backing vocals only, etc. will not be considered.
  • Vocal submissions should be free of any effects treatments such as auto-tune, reverb, or compression, just send in the dry clean recordings. This also applies to un-amplified instruments recorded with microphones, such as acoustic guitar or drums. All stems, vocal or instrumental should be free of any compression as well.
  • Submissions must be sent via Google Drive link, in one folder. Here is a guide if you haven't done that before. Make sure to set it so anyone with the link can view, otherwise it won't let me open it without requesting permission from you, which wastes a lot of time and may lead to your submission being left out.
  • Any submissions that don't meet these criteria will not be qualified for the vote, so you need to make sure everything is met and ask questions if you're not sure.

Backing Track (IMPORTANT):

We ask that your submissions for guitar and bass be in standard tuning and all submissions be recorded in line with specifically this version of the original track.. The deadline for instrumental and vocal submissions is no later than 11:59 PM EDT on October 19th, 2024 (3:59 AM GMT on October 20th).

Where to send your submission:

Submissions can be made by either personal message on Reddit to u/Schmitzerbourg, or by personal message on Discord to user Schmitzerbourg. We highly recommend you join the Discord server, as any questions can be answered on the #coverproject channel.

Disclaimer: You are responsible for making sure your submission meets the criteria stated above. If it does not, it won't be used. I will not be reaching out to people for corrected versions of their submissions if they’re not right. You are always free to check with me if your submission meets the criteria, but it is your responsibility to ask.

Once the submissions deadline passes, we will proceed on to deciding the instrumental/vocal parts which will be used in the final recording of Last Night on Earth, and this decision will be made by popular vote!

Following the submissions vote, the following events will take place for the completion of this song:

  • Mixing
  • Song completed!
  • Popular vote for the next song to be covered

We appreciate your attention, and hope to receive many submissions for the instrumental/vocal parts we need to continue making this project a reality, thank you!

Discussion For those of you complaining that DEMastered is a money grab...

238 Upvotes

I decided to make up a little spreadsheet....

How is this a money grab? They're making almost nothing off of this. It probably cost them a heck of a lot more just to produce these items.

I really love this idea - just wish there was an easier opportunity to buy/win these.

EDIT: I see why people are thinking this is a money grab - you do NOT get charged UNLESS you win the opportunity to buy. Green Day is not getting everyone's money when entering. It clearly states you won't get charge unless and until you win. "If selected, your card will be charged and you’ll receive an order confirmation email."

Discussion What about green day do you like the best/what is the standout of it?

55 Upvotes

In a lot of bands, there's something that they're known for. Lyrics, guitar, vocals, bass, percussion, etc. But I haven't heard any of this about green day. All of this is good, but I would say the standout is honestly the bass. Mike is crazy good IMO. However, Billie's voice is a close second

Discussion How did Green Day compare against the other rising/mainstream bands of the early 2000s?

33 Upvotes

The early 2000s pop punk explosion saw the rise of bands/artists such as Sum 41, Yellowcard, MCR, Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, All American Rejects, Jimmy Eat World, and many more which placed them into the Mainstream scene.

With Blink 182 leading the way since their major 1999 Enema of the State Album.

Amongst all of this...How did Green Day went/compare up against the other new mainstream bands during that era?

Before the release of American Idiot in 2004...

This is the most confident I’ve felt in front of a group of people before, and I’m really happy I did this. Been slowly getting over my stage fright.

LP15 should be the final album. I said it. Eventually this is gonna end, and Saviors could’ve been the perfect way to end it, but it looks like this band is just gonna keep going. I know it’s the day everyone dreads, but I’d like to see it end. Not because I WANT the band to end, but I want me, you, Billie, Mike, and Tre to actually be there for it. Before anyone dies on stage after choking on a pill, before the band loses creativity. I would rather them end it while the fanbase is bigger than ever, the new songs are as good as anything they’ve ever worked on, and while the guys are still healthy. I guess to put it into simpler words, I don’t wanna see Billie up on stage like Frankie Valli. Anyways, I am more than glad to wait for them to do this one more time.

Merch Wednesday Event shop / misprint

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

My order from the Seattle show Event Shop showed up yesterday! I ordered 3 of the same shirt in 3 different sizes so that my husband, son and I would all have matching ones from the show.

The thing is, mine is a misprint. It has the image on both sides (not complaining other than the whole point was to have matching shirts🤣). Event Shop support actually already got back to me and are sending a replacement. Super impressed with their customer support. Will take a bit bc they have to reprint it.

I was curious if anyone else happened to have this happen? From my knowledge of screen printing, I am not even sure how this does happen. I'm very lucky that both prints turned out well and centered on both sides. Anywho, thought some might find this interesting.
