Label

Per our Green Day conversation Monday night at Second Wind...


While their albums have mainly been produced by Rob Cavallo and themselves, the credits vary from album to album (Green Day did Warning themselves, they used Butch Vig on their latest, Rob Cavallo was on most, etc.)...

however...

ALL Green Day albums have been released on Reprise, minus 1,039/Smooth and Kerplunk! from Lookout!. Record labels really don't have much to do with the actual recording and production of an album for big name bands. Once groups have the money and experience to make the music themselves in their own private recording studios, like Green Day does mostly, labels don't care where or how it gets done, as long as it gets done. They just handle all the marketing and other business aspects so they can bring in their cut.

So, it wasn't Adeline or any other label. Just Reprise the whole time. Look it up. Plus, none of this even really matters to me. I don't care who would ''skool'' me at knowing useless Green Day trivia. I'll play any Green Day song better than any other chump, guaranteed.

    Well done. I didn't think they ever recorded on Adeline, and didn't even really know Adeline was a recording studio. To be honest, I thought it was a clothing company run by Billie's wife.

    Oops.
