Green Day - The American Dream Is Killing Me (American Idiot Mix) (Original Pitch)

The American Dream Is Killing Me in the style of American Idiot!
(This time, I liked the version with the original tuning (Eb) more than the one with the modified tuning for 'American Idiot' (E). I hope you enjoy it!)
Thanks again to Nat for their BEAUTIFUL work on this cover!

This would’ve fit on American Idiot so well.

[@punkkid03]

Feels like a mix of the song American Idiot and Holiday.

It’s fucking beautiful

[@Keither754]

1:01 should have switched the vocals for this slow line into that radio/static filter that Green Day used a bunch during American Idiot era.

[@DanielCh9393]

That effect is from 21st Century Breakdown.

​​@@DanielCh9393It's also in the title track itself "American Idiot" for the first verse

[@silktongs]

Appears on the bridge of Holiday as well!

[@chocolatetuesday74]

It sounds better the way it is. Billie’s voice has become more nasally and he uses falsetto a lot more these days. This just sounds so powerful.

[@Keither754]

This is going to sound crazy but I’d like to hear American Dream is Killing Me as a “Father of All…” mix. I want to see how their two newest styles compare.

[@lightningbolt99999]

Yes!

[@StoppFoto]

fuck this Father Of All shit, I wish I could forget that this album exist

[@pistol5909]

I think the best part of this song is that its nothing like father of all and it should stay that way

[@iblistriggerX]

God no, that will kill all of us

[@thegreyman4920]

Please no. Father of All is the worst thing they have ever made.

[@agustinacaceres822]

You can actually hear the difference between the original and this in terms of Billie's pronunciation of words , especially at the /t/k/p/ ending sounds, I think you nailed them perfectly! Also, leaving some breathing sounds and gasps are really American Idiot Era! the one that all cover bands try to avhieve.

It already sounded like a song that would be on American Idiot but hearing this actually feels like an old unused GD song😩

[@zmodsomar2388]

2004 Billie Vocals is soooo good!

[@Thecheeseof1876]

It actually blows my mind how much better this mix is then the original in my opinion. So much more focus on the instruments. Great Job!

[@bambampewpew32]

nah what we love his vocals lmao ngl what I love about the original is that it already sounds close ish to american idiot tone, which sounds so nice lol

[@bruhmingo]

@@bambampewpew32Billie’s voice isn’t great anymore, more instrumental emphasis would do them well

Love that the hands holding a rock instead of the grenade, nice touch!

it is actually crazy how amazing this sounds

[@myfavvidz]

This would be a hit

[@billmcandrew9210]

This needs to be done in the lovely Insomniac style

[@8thFurno]

Damn that was a quick turn around.

[@theemeraldcrown1]

Thank you so much for taking my suggestion! I love this mix so much! AI Billie sounds amazing here!

[@rolfgustavsonmusic]

Good job! This is the first time I stumbled across your channel, it's a very interesting approach and idea to mix songs in different styles like this, impressive stuff! The guitar sound is really spot on, well done.

[@vask92]

Wow.. Incredible. Great stuff man 🤟 Love it It's like the original but turned up to 11. Sick! 😄

[@lss2388]

This definitely feels more American Idiot-ish! What changes have made it this way? I can't put my finger on what exactly is different.

[@stefankorner9007]

I trinken the guitars have a heavier tone in this version that fit AI more for example. The guitars of the real version are more pop I think.

[@stefankorner9007]

*think not trinken sorry

[@Mysteriousninja2]

@@stefankorner9007 its also ever so slightly slower i think and they did some mixing or used ai of American Idiot Billie specifically to sound more like it'd fit on that album.

[@chalkdust2877]

I can- better harmonies, better hooks.

[@dylanburton4955]

@@stefankorner9007Oh the guitars in the original are far too distorted to be pop

I want this to be a reality now. GREAT JOBBB!!!!!

[@BabyJaguar220]

I was actually thinking about requesting this when you uploaded it

[@theemeraldcrown1]

I actually was the one who suggested/requested this (you can check my comment from their Nimrod mix of Panic Song), glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of this :)

[@alannaworthington8305]

God this is so so so much better thank you!

[@finnlanham4633]

you killed this. 👏🏼🤘🏼

[@CS-ud3hk]

Wow this is crazy good!!!

[@wahtdookie]

I’d like to hear this as a 21st Century Breakdown mix cuz it reminds me of that album

[@youtubesuxnow8766]

Dude idk how you do this or how I'm just finding it, but I hope to god you blow up so you keep doing this. I can't stop listening. GD is the reason I picked up and learned a guitar in 1997, and I've always kinda jammed some other versions, but to hear all this is incredible. Also, the first time I heard this, I was thinking that the bridge would've been so much better on 21st Century Breakdown. Cuz I thought of the pretty much exact anthem-esque guitar riff. But this will do for now. So awesome

[@k4tie.555]

i love this so much

[@lucasmayeregger7318]

amazing!!

[@zouteranja4041]

This is fucking great!! can we get an insomniac version next??

[@mileshadley8473]

Love it! I like the saviors inspired cover.

[@Pig_Man06]

I really think AI's more grand and abrasive mixing better suits this song then the mixing from saviors

[@derekperry261]

Insomniac style!!!!!

Very good

Hey!, You Listened To That Too!? And Decided To Make This!?’ OH NO!!

It's the original song. The vocals were processed using AI to give it the voice of Billie from 2004.

Can u do The American Dream is Killing Me in the style of 21st Century Breakdown

i honestly slightly prefer this over the original lol

Where did you get this from? Sounds amazing, could it be just a demo version, i mean it sounds pretty accurate right?!

he added effects

[@MetalliDay]

They remixed the song to be similar to something from american idiot

[@theemeraldcrown1]

Can you do Look Ma, No Brains (the song coming out on 2nd November) as either Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, especially Nimrod, or American Idiot or whatever mix you want? Thanks!

[@theemeraldcrown1]

Look Ma, No Brains just came out!

Wow, that was fast

[@eazy5485]

Look Ma, No Brains! (Nimrod Mix)

[@GabrielCregan]

Sounds “awesome as f**k*” One thing I think could improve this is to change the tuning up a half-step as TADIKM is, surprisingly, in Eb tuning on the studio recording. Could I request Nirvana’s “Sliver” if it was on Insomniac? Thanks from Blackpool. Edit: I only just saw the title says “Original Pitch” so I guess you were aware of the altered tuning 😂

[@theemeraldcrown1]

The E tuning version is actually linked in the description!

[@GabrielCregan]

@@theemeraldcrown1So it is! St jimmy really knows his stuff

[@brandonc_096]

How is he doing this? Even the voice it’s pitched to sound like Billie’s deeper voice from that era. I can’t wrap my head around how he got the single vocal track from the new song either 😂

[@Roadkill-Films]

I love how this edited cover looks like an analogy(?) to transfemininity, the blue hand represents masculinity and it holds a white object which looks like a cracked egg; egg being a term used for a closeted trans person (i think), and from that cracked bleeds pink blood, which represents femininity lol.

why is this so much better

[@evanage]

hey, I know this is a long shot but could you do blink-182's new song "Terrified" in the style of Box Car Racer (2002)? I know it would make a lot of Tom DeLonge fans happy

[@bred208]

Yo, what if you did Black Eyeliner Warning mix, that would be cool i think

[@eazy5485]

Where would this song go on the American Idiot tracklist?

[@MetalliDay]

Now do a metallica song with any green day mix style you want

[@BradVrba-mp2ok]

I later found out that the American dream is killing me is in Eb tuning on tabs. Not sure if the mix or tabs are wrong

[@theemeraldcrown1]

Actually neither are wrong, this says original pitch (which is Eb) because there's a E Tuning version of this mix in the description because all of the songs in American Idiot are in E.

[@swofzie123]

So much better

hey I dont know if you're seeing this but can you make billie's ai voice version in the video..I dont have the link but i think the title is like "If Green Day covered Bille Eilish's songs" on KZbin😅

damn, i liked the idea until i noticed it was ai

[@theemeraldcrown1]

St Jimmy Stuff did the entire mix, the AI is only to make Billie's vocals sound more like they did in American Idiot. Don't let AI ruin this mix, you would still like this if you didn't know the vocals were AI.
