madagascar/Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams

[Eric]

 I was listening to Boulevard of Broken dreams in the car yesterday-a great song, I think-it really reminds me of Madagascar-take out Dizzy's keyboard part, it has a similar drum beat, and the guitar effects near the end remind me of Madagascar also-both are beautiful songs, even similar in theme in some ways-I think it's one of Green Day's best-wish I could hear studio version of Maddy-come on, Axl, you're killing me. Just my opinion, anyway.

What strikes me most about this song is how obviously it rips off Oasis' Wonderwall.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

It shows Green Day can go beyond the typical 3 minute  3 chord punk song. Its cool to see when bands are talented enough to progress as artists instead of making the same album over & over.  I have a feeling VR~s next album will be Contraband 2.

As far as Madagascar is concerned, it is much more adventurous as "Boulevard."  Axl reached a little farther to create a truly unique song. I hope he doesn`t ruin it in the studio considering how much time it is taking. If it is overproduced , it could turn into crap. However, I am optomistic it will be awesome.

Have you listened to greendays new album? They have a ten minute song on there and its very good.

Boulvard Of Broken Dreams is right now easily one of my favs over madagascar. Maybe it's because madagascar is so old and played now or that we havent had a studio version ... but I like Boulevard much much more.

Green days new album is stellar!

My friend said the same exact thing and then i noticed it too. We sang the words to Wonderwall while BOBD was playing. It was interesting.

Yeah , cause the tremolo effect in wonderwall is awesome! And how that heavy distortion come in during the chourus of wonderwall.

Saul, im in no way trying to bash Green Day. They are one of my favorite bands.
The verses in both songs have the same chords ( i think or variations of the same chord). Each song has something special which makes us like it. I was just saying that we were singing the words to Wonderwall to BOBD and it was just funny.

Thats no problem. I heard a remix of both songs mixed together and it sounded pretty funny.

Songs having the same chords and/or strumming patterns is not too unusual , hell GNR have ripped themselves off a couple times too.

peace bro!

BOBD is very good, but Madagascar gave me goosebumps the first time and every time I've heard it.

[Billo]

BOBDs is a GREAT song but it dosent remind me of maddy at all...   I hope they put the first vers of it from RIO3 on CD....its the best..
Anyway..when i heard BOBDs i actually got the AIdiot CD..its the first one of theres ive got and its great....Not really PUNK...mostly roch ..and i like the 10 min songs with all the different acts..and all the changes..its cool and different..

[norway]

i really like the solopart from rio, i liked that part better when it wasn't trimmed down

but the other stuff got better, like in vma
