TimmyChunks Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 6 minutes ago, SomeNimrod97 said: It's Saturday. That's going from 0 degrees. We'll likely not hear anything apart from maybe Tré posting another time lapse rehearsal video. We can hold out hope that tonight Tre is 3 glasses of wine away from posting the leak. I've seen him slam his head against drum sets on Letterman about two dozen times. Maybe that screw loose will finally pop out and he'll be the one to give it to us! In all seriousness, for all of Tre's wacky public behavior over the years, his Instagram, etc. have been ridiculously normal and thoughtful ever since he started doing the social media thing. And his writing skills are better than I expected as well. When I finally met him back in '09 I expected him to be the on stage/ camera cartoon type persona he's always been. He was a completely normal, thoughtful, and surprisingly intelligent guy. I was impressed and while I had always been a huge fan, I immediately had an enormous amount of respect for the guy I had never had before. Like Billie sang in Walking Contradiction, that night I realized he was a "smartass...playing dumb" Anyway- the countdown continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is just their whole stage persona. You see Mike running around stage screaming Fuck Yeah and making all these weird faces and what not, yet he is back home selling Organic Coffee. Billie is calling people motherfuckers and showing his ass to thousands of people, yet at home he is playing piano with his dog. All of these guys are just great performers, but even better people. I don't think I have ever said anything this nice about Green Day on here, so no one get used to this. I think because we are so close to the single, I am just overall a lot happier. So if this does turn out to be a side project thing which i HIGHLY doubt, then prepare yourselves, I will be pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PursuitOfEpicness Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Ugh so technically it's like 5 more days. It's too long man. I tried to pass the time by learning some Green Day on guitar. I learned Brain Stew, it took me five minutes lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 If it was a side project album anywhere near the quality of Stop Drop and Roll, I'd prefer it over a Green Day release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Mike and Billie the same day as well (not in a group setting, but in a very small meeting). Both were so down to earth it caught me off guard. I expected them to be like their on stage personas and they were like, "hey, what's your name, what do you do? you like our music, great, isn't this a nice day"? Maybe it was small talk since they meet so many strangers and run out of things to say or talk about...but I was shocked at how genuinely normal they were. I was a huge fan before, but afterwards I felt like they were even more relatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Escape Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Well, I had some time on my hands, so I decided to take the time to upload the Today Show's very brief mention of "Bang Bang" - which took place on the morning of August 4th. For the sake of making this small contribution to the online archive of Green Day, I sat through 30 excruciating minutes of the Today Show - I'm not so certain that it was worth it. You're welcome?

sampy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 So, if it's the song is going to leak before 11th, are you going to listen to it or wait until the official release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other guys were cool and down to earth aswell but I kinda expected Billie to be rude. Dont know why. They were chatty, but they sure got routine aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBlood Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think we won't be hearing many trilogy songs on the setlist for the next tour . If Bang Bang really does sound like old school then they should complement that with more from kerplunk etc :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the way of sound I'm hoping for the old guitar sound of the pre-trilogy albums and it would be awesome to hear some Kerplunk to complement it. However, if they keep the trilogy guitar sound in, I wouldn't be surprised if they try and push out some more trilogy stuff next tour that they didn't play last time.

steve46 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Billie said via instagram that the band GREEN DAY is releasing a new single on August, 11th. I also think GREEN DAY is not releasing a single. Sure it's a side project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakke Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Somehow it is apparent this was a week before iHeart. Looking back at that time, it was painfully clear Billie wasn't exactly in his best form, particularly compared with their HoF performance.
