  1. Ok so obviously I can’t say much but I will say this: OUR BOYS ARE F**KING BACK!

  2. Ok so yes now that the cat is FINALLY out of the bag, I was fortunate enough to be an extra in the video and the experience was f**king surreal and incredible all at once. (I don't appear to be readily visible in the video but I need to do a more thorough freeze framing to be sure 😅). A few personal highlights: -Arriving at the studio and seeing Tre right away chatting it up with someone in full zombie garb was an amazing preview of things to come -Many of us were in line for makeup as Billie, Mike, and Tre were just getting done with theirs (yes as zombies), and we gave a cheer/round of applause to the boys as they headed back to their dressing room. They seemed appreciative about the reception! -Arriving on set after a couple of hours of being in holding/makeup, I was blown away by the scale of everything. We were all gathered in front of the band's stage waiting for shooting to start, when they started playing TADIKM for the first (of many) times over the loudspeakers. It took me about 5 seconds after the chorus hit to realize "oh yes our boys are definitely back" and eventually many fans/extras were singing it in between takes. I also thought (and still think) this should be the tour opener as it fires up a crowd as good as anything. So yeah, it was a super fun experience and really felt like I was in a dream being in this zombie world with Green Day playing a brand new song on stage just in front of us over and over (for those who asked, no other songs were played). And the craft services/catering provided were very nice too!

  3. Ok going to make one more comment to add just a touch of clarity: BASED ON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL, I think the majority of folks here are going to be happy on the 24th (especially if you have been disappointed with the band’s recent output). And I am further convinced the Rob Cavallo effect is real (again, based on absolutely nothing at all). 🙂

  4. Drunk Billie ruined the release of two albums, postponed a tour, had a public breakdown and went to rehab. Nobody should "want" that back

  6. I’m normally just a lurker here but I just wanted to clear some things up: 1. I’m not Jason Tate, I’m Jason Holmes but I did run greenday.net long ago. 2. I didn’t say my source confirmed that the album isn’t done, I said it kinda sounded that way and it also came across that way in the Cavallo interview 3. I only confirmed what Cavallo already revealed about the 2024 release date, it wasn’t some “insider” breaking news. 4. I really hate being called an “insider” 5. I would never put information out as fact that I didn’t believe was rock solid. If I had any doubt, I’d make sure to note that. If this info ends up being wrong it’s because they changed plans but I’m 100% confident it’s the current plan.

  7. Besides just loving the guitar on this song and the sound mixing. I went to treatment for alcoholism in August, relapsed in October and went back to treatment. I just got out of that rehab yesterday and moved into sober living. Hell, I just left my day treatment meeting and put on this song for the first time. I’m in love with it.

  8. Want to use this moment when it's "calm before the storm" to say thank you to @GDFan2019 During the last 2 years you've been keeping that candle just a little bit lit when the rest of us couldn't. I truly admire the optimism you've had all the way - this thread would be nothing without your contribution 🙌

  11. This discussion is off topic and needs to end now. As Clockwise put it there is no debate, trans rights are human rights. Just like the people who thought it was "common sense" not to let black and white people have the same rights in the 60s, then later the people who thought it was "common sense" not to give gay people the same rights, it is bigots on the wrong side of history now crying "common sense" to justify their transphobia. There are too many transphobic comments in this thread already and I don't want to see any more in this thread or on this site. Anyone making any more transphobic comments will be suspended. And I ask that everyone stop posting about this topic now regardless of your position. Posts about the upcoming album only from here please.

  12. I think Green Day made a great move hiring the Baxleys for their videos this cycle. All of the videos have had a really clear artistic vision and were very well executed. They each told a story of the song that helped elevate it. As art, they complement the songs in the way that videos should at their best. By contrast, the FOAM videos were a mess. The scrapped FOAM video led to a boring performance shoot with B roll that did nothing for the song. Oh Yeah was okay, but it didn’t help me to understand what the song was about very much, and FRA was basically hockey promo. Without one directing team behind all the videos, the results lacked cohesion. What we’re seeing now is something completely different, similar to the way Sam Bayer made a great collection of videos for AI that all went together. Hats off to Alice and Ryan Baxley and welcome to the Green Day fam!

  15. Honestly, kudos to Billie for doing this song and video. I remember him saying back in the Revarad days that it’s scary writing songs that come from a personal place, but I think the song did a great job at detailing the struggles of addiction. i first listened on Spotify and thought it was fine, but one the second listen while watching the music video, i got goosebumps. Truly a great video

  16. Here's the flow of events that is frustrating to me: 1. Green Day records a song and decides not to release it 2. Song leaks 3. Fans find out it leaks and go crazy over wanting it, expecting it to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. 4. Fans get their hands on it 5. Fans bitch and complain that it isn't great and the band has completely lost it Gee, I wonder why the band decided to not release it...

  17. I recorded the listening party on voice memos as I’m sure a lot of people will over the next day or so. Here’s my review. The American Dream Is Killing me is in no way representative of the complete album. You can really tell that this was the last song recorded. Bobby Sox is a big highlight for me. If you’re a fan of Fidlar or Weezer you’ll really like this one. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this is the next single. Heavy and really beautiful melody. I really like it. 1981 rules. Definitely sounds like it could be from Cigarettes and Valentines or Nimrod. Classic Green Day sound right here. Goodnight Adeline starts slow and builds into another heavy track with sweet and soft lyrics as expected. Coma City starts with a riff in a similiar vein to 99 Revolutions or a Blink 182 riff. Great fucking ending with the band jamming out and Tre going ham. Another highlight for me. The breakdown from this is one of the very early teaser snippets that was released way back when. I’ll post the Instagram video to this later. Corvette City is a just a straight up fun song. Probably won’t ever get played live but it’s a lot of fun. Mid tempo rock and roll with cowbell! Has a slight country twang to the chorus! Certainly won’t be a single but it’s fun. Susie Chapstick has a melancholy feel to it. “Not even the drugs seem to work” “Do you just want me to go away?”. Gives off Nimrod/Warning vibes but also in a league of its own. Strange Days are Here to Stay is a classic Green Day sounding song. Trilogy vibes with a much better production. Love the palm muting and melody on this one. Living in the 20’s is a fucking ripping tune. Imagine Horsehoes and Handgrenades and Walking Contradiction had a baby. Don’t understand the initial negative reviews for this one? It rules. Father to a Son is a beautiful track. Can see this one getting played towards the end of their upcoming sets. Beautiful melodies and strings. Tears inbound. Saviors features Billie singing through a telephone esq filter for the verses and transitions in a big chorus “Calling all Saviors!” It’s good but nothing special to me at the moment. Maybe it’ll grow on me. Fancy Sauce is the soft acoustic riff we saw Billie playing on the Instagram teasers ages ago. Been looking forward to hearing this song for what seems like forever. Transitions in a bigger sounding song for the chorus. “We all die young someday”. Some funny and wacky lyrics on this one as well. “Watch the evening news cos it’s my favourite cartoon” “Going to join a cult, do a somersault”. It’s a slower finisher but still big and loud. Anyways those are my initial thoughts!! Go out there and enjoy the listening parties everybody!

  23. He has changed his vocal placement in order to accommodate the stresses of touring/aging. It's really not a big deal, and an absolute necessity if he wants to maintain his voice and be able to continue performing for years to come. Look at the amount of old rock stars (Billie's age and older) that literally cannot sing their music anymore. Some of them can't even sing when they lower the key. We should all be happy that Billie is taking measures (and obviously being VERY intentional about his choices) that will help preserve his voice and allow them to keep making music and performing live.

  26. Guys, this is them. This is the amalgamation of their sound. The Trilogy catchiness, the post-sober BJ soul of RevRad and even Father of All, and honestly even glimpses of what make them great with American Idiot and Dookie (sound and melodies). If it hasn't been clear for a decade or so, this is 100% their sound. This is as Green Day as it gets. You either fuck with it or maybe you don't enjoy Green Day as much as you thought, which is perfectly fine tbh.

  29. You're off-topic, so you're not within the rules. Stop. And everybody else, if you continue to respond to this user with attacks you're also taking things off-topic and will be given a warning. Our apologies for the delay in responding to the reports. We all have day jobs beyond posting here — shocking, I know — and weren't able to get to the reports until now. But let's get this back on topic and discuss the album, not far-fetched conspiracy theories about a song title's connections to Billie's family and Reddit moderators (geez). Thanks.

  33. Thinking about how this album could be not so much American Idiot part two, which was a coming of age story, kind of “life during wartime” thing, but 21st Century Breakdown part two checking in on the further deterioration of society. American Dream and “The American dream is killing me” evoke these lyrics: “Oh dream, America dream, I can’t even sleep from the light’s early dawn Oh scream, America scream, believe what you see from heroes and cons” 21CB contains some of his most brilliant and insightful lyrics. Can we just talk about the clever way he turns the national anthem on its head when he says “from the light’s early dawn”? In the Star Spangled Banner you wake up and see the flag in the daylight and it inspires hope (“Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light”) Flipping “dawn’s early light” to “light’s early dawn” because the narrator is up all night with worry and feeling hopeless is such a subtle but powerful statement. He does bring the hope back at the end with See The Light, calling back to the theme. 21CB is packed with goodies like this. I’m excited for American Dream and the ways in which he might play around with these ideas in a way that feels current.

  35. Happy new Green Day album release day folks! Since becoming a fan in 2004, this is my fifth release day and these days never cease to be special. Hard to believe this project started being teased over two years ago and that the day is finally here. Enjoy it everyone ❤️

  36. Green day unfortunately cannot win in circumstances like this They try something new ... everyone shits on them for it and demands a return to old green day and now when they do that people complain that they are "boring" and "recycling that same old stuff again". It's a weird cycle 😅

  38. As read on another website “A coworker of mine who does security for industry events here in LA worked the Warner Records listening party for this album. He’s not a massive Green Day fan so he couldn’t remember all the song names but the one he said he could definitely remember was “Father To A Son”, which is apparently about Billie losing his dad at a young age and wanting to be the father he never had to his own kids, something along those lines. He said that song was particularly emotional and that everyone at the listening party was blown away by it. So if all this is true, I’m looking forward to that one for sure”

  40. Hey guys! Haven't posted on here in a while (probably years now!) I produce music for a living. This snippet got me really excited. Green Day's sound has evolved massively due to the team of people they've worked with on recent records with varying results. I feel the combo of Rob Cavallo producing and Chris Lord-Alge mixing really epitomises what sounds like Green Day. Billie's vocals have got a lot of space and sound natural and upfront, the guitars panned ultra wide, drums and bass punching and I can't be happier. I can't wait to listen to what they've got prepared.

  43. I think it's safe to assume something changed pretty drastically during their process. That's totally OK. However, for the band to go completely dark after pretty consistently teasing is, in my opinion, not OK. They can account for delays by keeping up the teasing with a clear message that things are still on-going. Sure, they don't owe us crap and don't have to do anything, which has always been their stance. This is all on-par with their marketing ever since I've followed them so I'm not sure why I'm expecting anything different.
