Green Day and their Influences Vol. 1 - Video

A collection of similarities. A lot of speculation on my part. I could be wrong with a few.

To be clear, I don't think they're plagiarists. Making music and finding the inspiration for it is pretty complicated. Everything is a remix, sometimes you can file the serial numbers off pretty well, sometimes you can't.

I'm not a hater either. I wouldn't bother to be familiar with this much of their discography if that were the case. I make mashups, and a lot of what I do is comparing chord progressions and melodies against other songs. Because Green Day is one of my favourite bands, it's easier to practice that habit on their music.

I don't remember much of ¡Dos!, I haven't listened to it all the way through since it came out. I vaguely recall a rap song about this woman Billie Joe was having an affair with. I might be one of the few people who like Revolution Radio, but there wasn't much I thought I could work with for this video. I haven't listened to Father of All completely. Green Day has a tendency to half-ass every other album and Father of All was a perfect example of that.

I'll put out a second video once I get a chance to listen to the rest of their albums more.
