The Billy Joel version was in chronological order, why is their version all over the place
Billy Joel was able to write the original without access to search engines or AI to easilly look up newsworthy items to fit in a poetic meter. He had to pull up newsworthy headlines from memory or by shifting through old newspapers back in fucking 1989These retarded ass millenials had access to the the internet, they had access to AI, and they had decades of newsworthy headlines to pull from, and they couldn't even come close to recapturing the magic of the original.I think what makes the original so much more memorable is the fact that Billy Joel only really focused on shit that most people actually cared about. Seriously, lets compare the key events that both bands describeBilly Joel>Joe McCarthy, The Catcher in the Rye, Rockefeller, Disneyland, Suez Crisis, JFKs assasination, China under martial lawEven minor events that the average person doesn't give a shit about are still interesting enough to where it only adds to the songs depthLets compare the Fallout Boy version>Fyre Fest, Stranger Things, Balloon Boy, Metroid, SpongeBobThey give shit like Fyre Fest the same weight as Disneyland. They give fucking Metroid and Spongebob the same weight as The Catcher in the Rye. They bring up flash-on-the-pan shit that everyone forgot about in a week. It just feels so aimless and disconnected by comparison. It literally feels like the difference between someone getting history from a real history book vs someone getting history from a social media page. Its fucking maddening.
>>121554036This is one of the worst takes I've heard in a while manEverything seems inconsequential because so much shit happens every day and the significant things haven't had time to become significant yetBilly Joel brings up fucking sugar gay and rock around the clock you don't think that shit is flash in the pan?
>>121554159People still talk about Sugar Gay till this day bro
>>121554159Sugar Ray maybe, Rock Around the Clock no, that song was a huge ass deal to most boomers and still is
>>121552911FALL OUT BOY IS FUCKING GAY>we didnt start the fire....
>>121554184So how the fuck are we supposed to know if it's flash in the pan if we haven't had enough time for the flash to disappear? Fyre fest was big on normalfag news, people still know it, they'll tell their kids about it.
>>121554225>So how the fuck are we supposed to know if it's flash in the pan if we haven't had enough time for the flash to disappear?We aren't, that's why its retarded to include it in your song about significant or interesting events>Fyre fest was big on normalfag news, people still know it, they'll tell their kids about it.It was a fucking meme anon, we all collectively laughed at it and moved on. If you're still talking about it then there's something wrong with you.
>>121554159Better than referencing fucking Tiger King and the Ever Given ship lmao, seriously those references back to back are worse than any the guy you replied to listed
>>121552911It’s the worst cover of any song ever. No one can convince me otherwise. I had to white knuckle listening to it the one and only time I heard it. If you genuinely like this cover, fucking KYS.
>>121552911My least favorite band covering my least favorite song. Satan was feeling particularly sadistic.
>Fall Out Boy went from Take This to Your Grave to thisfucking grim
>>121553000What's stopping you?
>>121552911did u know the drummer used to be in Racetraitor
>>121554036Excuse me, SpongeBob is a cultural touchstone.
>MeToo, Epstein knew, Biden fucks your children too what did this line mean?
