American Edit (Mash-up of Green Day's American Idiot) features U2

[Achtung Ya'll]

Ok so some guys have put together a mash-up of Green Day's American Idiot.

It's aptly titled American Edit and is available free from www.americanedit.net

Two of the songs (at least) contain some U2:

The Bad Homecoming and Novacaine Rhapsody.

Now I'm not a Green Day fan but this mash-up is fan-fucking-tastic.

I suggest everyone check it out. It fucking rocks.

Also I hope this hasn't been posted before but I checked the first few pages.

Is it just me...or is this the crappiest thing I've heard since Ashlee Simpson?

i dont even know what this crap is all about!!!

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

That one with the Oasis thing is pretty cool.

The novelty wears off after a while, and the Aerosmth ending is awful, but otherwise it's pretty well produced.

Probably just you...that's a pretty brutal thing to say. Oh well!

Even weirder is that we share a username. My username on the forums from which I obtained this is BonoMan.


Nothing to see here. Carry on.

That one with the Oasis thing is pretty cool.

Yeah..as soon as I heard "Dream On" I rolled my eyes a bit. But a lot of the other tracks are cool. And yeah for being a grass roots effort it's pretty well produced. I think that's what I like about it.

nobody reads this

The Bad Homecoming is quite nice to hear

... Novocaine Rhapsody it's AMAZING


and yes.. Dream On kills that beauty of a mash-up


this one:
"The Bad Homecoming" includes:
Green Day - Homecoming
U2 – Bad
Green Day – We Are the Waiting


actually, at the end, it has "Sometimes you can't make it on you own"... the "you don't have to always be right... let me take some of the punches for you tonight" part

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Actually the Aerosmith thing is Eminem's sample of Aerosmith.

Go to http://www.partyben.com (the guy who did the mash-up) and check out the Sunday Bloody Sunday one. Now THAT one's brilliant all the way through.

finally! someone noticed that the drums on Novacaine are the same as the drums on Bullet the blue sky! that's the first thing I thought when I heard that album!

 

[Total U2 Nut]

These are really good!
The Blvd/Wonderwall mix on the partyben site is amazing

...check out the Sunday Bloody Sunday one. Now THAT one's brilliant all the way through.
