A little fun I've been having with the Americana album by the Offspring. ;) Yes it's "Dub" stuff which doesn't seem to be a favourite on here but there is musical content in there too. :P

The Kid's Aren't Alright is their best song ever made and you ruined it by dub! Carry on sir! |
| Audio Warfare |
Haha sorry Jacek. ;) At least we agree that it's the best track Offspring have done aye. :P |
| djDMS |
Love that album. Watch some twat come along and ruin it with fart noises....
 |
| Audio Warfare |
Surely nobody is that much of a c*nt. :P |
| djDMS |
I do like it mate, just not all of it. But that's more to do with me than the quality of it. |
| Audio Warfare |
haha nah that's fair enough mate. TBH I knew it would get a less than warm reception on here with all the Dubcore hate. But hey, at least the bassline changes note and there is some form of music over it. :P |

I like that! Kids Aren't Alright is a decent tune, reckon Bad Habit is the best tune they ever did though. |

Cheers man! Yeah Bad Habbit is a beast. I think The Kids Aren't Alright is ingrained in my brain though, it was on one of my skate videos that was on regular rotation and I just fell in love with it. |

The Kids Aren't Alright is one of those tracks that make the soundtrack to my teen years. Such a massive, distinctive tune.
That build-up is absolute madness mate. Cannot fault it at all. It's got the whinny, uplifting "fcukin-hell-here-we-go!" feeling to perfection.
But the drop. Same as everyone else I'm afraid man! When I saw the soundwave on Soundcloud I thought "Hold on, that looks suspiciously like a dubby wave pattern! Noooo! Not on this tune!!"
Irrespective of generally not liking that style - I will add something a bit more specific. The original tune has so much energy it's unbelievable - and I really think this tune could be absolutely fcuking enormous if you did a traditional version that capitalized on that.
Again though, that build-up is staggeringly good! |

Nice one Jay. I might make the second drop a normal one with riffage and a normal off beat bass fora bit of variety or I might make two versions, currently undecided. :P |

If I'd heard it without knowing it was by AW I'd have said "F*ck off!" and stopped it but....
....seeing as how it was Gaz wot dun it
I waited for at least another 5 seconds.
yeh
and it's that Same Old chord progression/bassline so beloved of the Hardcore massive....
Next! |
| Audio Warfare |
haha knew it wouldn't be to your taste mate. ;) The chord progression is as it is in The Kids Aren't Alright so it's just a coincidence it happens to use it I guess. |
| Ionosphere |
I wasn't going to comment as you know my thoughts anyway but wtf? 
yeh. A nicely done bit of.... you know what.
and it's proof that that same old sequence is.... old. :-/ |
| Audio Warfare |
Haha yeah man, must have been late 90s. :P There's a reason I didn't e-mail you a link to this one. ;) I just knew you would explode in a fireball of pleasure listening to a tune with that chord sequence AND a fart noise bass. |

Cheers mate. :) Glad one or two people like it here haha. It's the "Dubcore" divide I guess. A fair few people hate that style of Hardcore (and a lot of those people are on this forum). :P I've had positive feedback elsewhere so it's swings and roundabouts! |
