What to expect from these presentations? In an interview with Rolling Stone BrazilNoodles avoided giving more specific details of the repertoire that offspring will play in Brazil. However, he said that the band should include different songs regarding the visit to the Lollapalooza 2024 – and revealed to have rotating positions on the setlist, which may favor changes in songs between cities.
“When you have a new album, the challenge is to find what works live. Also, find less known bands from other records that can be added. Invariably, let’s stop playing someone’s favorite. We were in Montreal and a guy really wanted to hear the title track of the album Smash (1994). Then he appeared and shouted with me at the bar after the show: ‘Why don’t you play’Smash‘? P#RRA! ‘ And then ran out. (Laughs) wow, man, sorry! You can’t play all the songs. ”
Apparently, the only certainty is: “Come to Brazil” will be touched. Launched as one of Supercharged’s singles, the track plays with the typical comments made by Brazilian netizens on social networks of artists and bands, asking for visits to the country. The song, which has never been performed live, can still win a live music video recorded in these shows.
The guitarist comments:
“No other country has fans who write ‘eat to my country’ (‘Come to my country’). Only Brazil. And it’s all the time. I think you are starting to understand and do not do it so much, but it was a funny phenomenon for us. ‘Eat to Brazil’, it’s just three words, it’s so simple, but the message passes. No matter what we post. ‘Happy Birthday, Dexter’? Answer: ‘Eat to Brazil’. ‘We would like to announce that we are coming to Brazil’. Answer: ‘Eat to Brazil’. So this song is an ironic love letter for our Brazilian fans. ”
Offspring, Noodles and “eat to Brazil”
Noodles also recalled the composition process, marked by two unusual points. First, the order of factors: In a rare movement within their standards, the band started with the lyrics and only then went to the musical part. Second, the sound: “Come to Brazil” It is inclined to thrash metal and not to the typical melodic punk rock of the group.
“We started with the lyrics. Then we decided to have some thrash metal, because accelerated metal is such a large part of Brazil, Grave and things like that. So we made the verses like this. In the chorus, we needed something ‘hymn’ style to sing along. And then we had the part of ‘Olê Olê’ at the end, like a soccer corner. We built the song around the idea of the lyrics, and we usually do the opposite – usually the lyrics come last. ”
