I don't want to offend anyone but what is the point in making cover songs in a Gregorian way? Is it that hard to do? It's like those cheap DJs like Axel F that take a famous 80's tune and make a sh** load of money. Can someone care explain what is so brilian in making a gregorian version of a rock, pop, metal song?
You talk as though you have heard quite a few.. Is there really something wrong about hearing something different these days apart from the say old shit on the radio and mtv, etc...
I agree, mainstream music today that is played on mtv is full of sh**, I stopped watching it 2-3 years ago, I listen to Nu-Jazz, experimental, instrumental and post-rock now. I used to listen to Apocaliptyca a while ago which is similar to gregorian. Gregorian have originality but not creativity.
Wow! That was beautiful!! Sheesh.... are some of you people so mired in what's acceptable in your clique that you can't just take something at face value and see someone elses interpretation? I don't understand.... that's what is so wonderful about us.... we can all have a different outlook on life and see things differently from each other. I thought it was lovely.... the knights were handsome, gorgeous Guinevere, strong war horses, and the music made it all magical to me. I am richer for having seen it. Thanks to those of you who took the time to create this vision for others.
Why is this interpretation of Arthurian legend (a secular theme with pagan overtones -- quite appropriate for Green Day-themed music) being described as "Gregorian" -- a reference to a specific Medieval canon of Catholic Christian church music, as a quick internet search will reveal? Musically, it is nothing of the sort. What am I missing?
rb1111 I think when they mean Gregorian they're referring to the way the vocals sound - have you heard of gregorian chants? Basically a choir of guys who sound like... well... this, but without the backing music!
You're right, it's medieval, and it can sound quite beautiful.
