I'm not sure if this is even thread-worthy, but a couple of months ago I was at a concert and an American pop-punk band called Bayside were one of the support bands. I'm not a fan of their music personally but after doing a bit of research I found out that the singer had a session with Avril to write a song for AL which ended up not being used. The band decided to record it themselves and release it as their own single. There's more information in the article: music.yahoo.com/blogs/live-nation/bayside-is-still-punk-at-heart-even-when-their-singer-writes-for-avril-lavigne-014918796.htmlI was just wondering what people think of the song and whether or not they think that Avril should have used it. Here's the single version: |

I can see how this song would fit in her repertoire. It kind of reminded me of 'Skater Boi'. I didn't hate this version but, it didn't grab me either. Maybe I'd like it more just because of Avril's voice. Or, Maybe it would take a killer video to reel me in. Hard to say.

I didn't like it. It just seems like another generic faux punk song.

It's an okay song. I doesn't seem very Avril-esque to me, not even the LG era. I think that if this song had been included on the AL that we got, then it would sound very different. I'm thinking that this song wasn't written during the same time as the songs on AL since it doesn't sound similar.
I know that AL is described as "all over the place" in regards to music style, but I personally think the songs on AL fit nicely together. I don't think "Time Has Come" would have fit well with the album that was released. I'm sure however Avril would have done the song, it would have been great...definitely better than Bayside's version. xD

It sounds like something that maybe would have fit it on TBDT, but not AL. It's an okay song, doesn't really stand out as being super special or memorable. It sounds like a lot of her stuff on TBDT, but not as good.

Oh I've seen them a few times supporting Alkaline Trio. I quite like it, think it probably fits them more than Avril though

I can see how they would change the music slightly to fit Avril's style during TBDT era but I just can't imagine Avril releasing a song with lyrics like that, particularly the verses.

I don't think the song is that great but it does have a TBDT vibe

I would have loved it, but I don't see it in AL. Not to say that probably the production would have totally ruined it.

I definitely prefer Avril's darker ballads, so I'm glad this was scrapped.

I'm not a fan :/ I wonder how much of Avril's writing was used for this. It's pretty different in terms of writing style and the theme.
