To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their album Kerplunk, Green Day wanted to let their fans have some fun with one of their most iconic songs. With the master tapes to the album lost, they turned to Crush portfolio company AudioShake, which uses AI to pull songs apart into their different parts (called "stems"). They created vocal, drum, and bass stems for "1000 Light Years Away," then released the audio on TikTok, so that their fans could play along to the guitar part. With over 1.5 million views, it is the band's most successful Tik Tok to date.
