is Fuck Off the record holder now? also imo, i might actually end up liking Fuck Off just because of how absurd it is

I'm looking forward to stay young and underdog

I think we are and its gonna be amazing!!

They really seem to love OEB. The Pink riff annoys me and despite my liking the songs overall it’s not one of my favorites.

Sounds interesting. Also see their Instagram post. Are we getting a new OEB video?

I managed to get it earlier so... Stay Young is beautiful even just for the sentiment of its title and the repeating of the line throughout choruses. Even though it's basically again the same old four chords, it has something in the melodies and the solo not typical for Green Day, in a good way. It's really melancholic and sentimental. It's a Whatshername type song, both in tempo and style. A good melodic alternative rock song. It's definitely my favorite out of the new ones. Fuck Off is basically Murder City but with cringey lyrics. Still kind of fun, but nothing compared to bitter F.O.D. or more extremely Take Back and Platypus Underdog is musically a short classic 90s style Green Day song with some Trilogy vibes. Lyrics are also pretty cringey and almost AI ish. It's the only one that has a different production and mix, especially with the way drums are mixed. Also noted that it's the only song produced by Green Day only. And just like I thought it would be, Suzy Chapstick and Father To A Son are just an acoustic/alternate mixes of the album versions. So just acoustic guitars, backing vocals, some solos and strings are in there. But they're still pretty nice. Weirdly, booklet says that all of the new songs were mixed by Chris Dugan, even though they sound like they were mixed by CLA in the same batch with the album (except the Underdog). Go figure It's interesting how, after recently listening to 21st Century Breakdown in full couple of times and reliving those lyrics, the literality of some of those new ones seem really basic and kind of lazy in a lot of ways. It's kind of hard to comprehend that it's the same band. On the other hand, they are still my absolutely favorite no1 band and it still excites me to the core when new releases are out. Green Day is my home and safety and will always be ❤️ btw. there's a cool collage of photos from the Saviors tour in the inside of the digipack 😊

Did you not already share this in another thread???

This was 8 years ago though 😅 I just went and googled that tour, and they did 4 shows in Brazil that time around, so I wonder if they'll add more along with with Argentina show. Also, from what I see this is the first time they'll play at Paraguay, or am I mistaken?

My favourite tour era for sure. Still think the album would have benefited from being a bit more streamlined. Even though they were a month apart the release of 21st century breakdown always reminds me of the death of Michael Jackson.

Was in the little convenience store on my university campus this morning when Basket Case started playing. That isn't the kind of music that usually plays in there, so I told the girl at the cash register how much I love the song and how obsessed I am with Green Day, and she seemed to think that was awesome and said she picked some kind of Green Day radio playlist for the store that morning and then I told her that now I like her even more LOL. BTW, I have been seeing this cashier for years and she is always really nice but I never asked her name or talked to her much, so I feel like now I probably should. Maybe I can make a new friend LOL.

oh yeah they did, but i was like 9 years old and i discovered the band after that. also they went to argentina (only argentina) in 2022 and im from chile.

In a few of the interviews he gave during promo, he said they tried the song a bunch of different ways and rhythms including a Bossa Nova, before choosing the one they went with

I understand your excitement, but I thought they toured South America for the Revrad tour? Maybe not so many countries though.

I think I missed that, can you summarise or direct me to it please?

I aaaaaaaam!🤣

anyone have any interpretations for the title track?

Best album artwork and overall and art in general. This is peak.
