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...

Honestly, I could see Album 15 coming out before Album 14.

Timeline seems to closely mirror Warning -> American Idiot, including a potentially abandoned/completely reworked project and a Network album in between. We just now have social media and a larger GDC presence to be made aware of everything going on.

Green Day will be the focus of 2024.

If you actually think that Jen is trolling or being obnoxious, you don't know her at all. She's been a pretty much daily user on this site for years, not like these people who just pop up and post dumb shit to stir things up. She's also legit one of the nicest people here and is never involved in any drama. So saying she should be instantly banned for making one silly post is pretty cruel tbh. This desperation for album news is turning you into animals, maybe some of you need to take a step back if it's making you this hostile honestly. He's not even a mod

Or we could just not be dicks to each other.

I miss the days of @GDFan2019 undying optimism and messages of "maybe this week we'll get something!" What has this thread become?

I really hate to held information, because there is no point to be a fan and don't share info and discuss it with other fans. But it's not up to me and I really hope the band start the mkt for the new album soon and shed some light on everything

Thanks @squinty bitch for your kind words! Sorry, I thought it was ages since we’d had one of those enigmatic posts (which I love ‘cos they never go anywhere) and clearly with the news that the album is going to be released in 2024 nothing is close but then Billie returned to IG. I thought maybe we’d be able to laugh at ourselves a little (myself included) and how excited we get for any little scrap of info and did not mean to cause any upset. Like everyone else, I’m just waiting for new music! Like @Little Boy Named Booze said, we need to relax.

Jeez guys, it was a joke.

Why are you being a jerk? You need to accept the fact that there are things that you're just not going to know about. If the band wants things to be known, they will tell us.

Remember Billie talking about how much work 21st Century Breakdown was in Welcome to My Panic? How they put absolutely everything into that album and how draining that was; They haven't quite gotten to that level since, and I have a feeling that they've come to terms with the fact that it does take a tremendous amount of effort in order to pull off a properly masterful Green Day album. This is all me spitballing but my gut tells me that after FOAMF, and based off the return of Cavallo, CLA and the AI references in the teasers -- they're trying to reach those heights again. I'm not trying to predict one way or another whether that will be successful, but I get that idea. As such I'm thinking that we're seeing them work on this record for so long without any solid announcements, aside from a few hints to keep us fans busy, is because they're trying to achieve a balance where, yes, they put a ridiculous amount of effort into their next record: but also they get to keep having actual lives and families alongside that. Especially with the tour that just finished last year I think it's fairly unreasonable to expect that they've been working on the record 24/7 since we saw the initial teasers in 2021, and if they had been then we all know the toll that would take and how ultimately that's not a great path to go down for anybody. In summary - yes, we might have to wait until next year, but I do expect that there's a reason for that and I truly believe at the very least we're getting a project that has some real scope to it. One of my favourite things about Green Day for the most part is that when you listen to their music you can tell that they've considered every detail - every last chord, lead line, bass part, lyric or drum fill. And ultimately even if I have to wait another three years for that I think it'll be worth the wait.

Well...can't say I had Billie flying through Hogwarts on my 2023 bingo card.

I don't think any of us clicked this link expecting to watch what we just watched

100%

Omg, a cover of "Welcome to the Black Parade" is going to be on the new album???!!?? Rob Cavallo is just recycling things from other bands at this point, huh?

Sorry I'm not good at this stuff

Billie needs his own account back just so he has an outlet when he wants to post things like this

1972 will be out and I can already see a new thread by @GDFan2019 named "Next album anticipation thread" like a week after.

Nimrod 26th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition

You’re asking the right question 🙂

Without shit like this, GDC wouldn't be filled with embarrassing crap.

FIGHT!

That Dude is serious in every post he make.

People's reaction after getting a warning because they broke the rules by sharing leaks/asking for leaks after being warned not to

Sounds good, very AI-ish Thanks to who sent me

I'm surprised no one else has put this in here

I don't know what's scarier - that AI has already evolved this far, or that some people don't know how far AI has evolved and think things like this are real, and even refuse to believe that it's AI after being told so.

Oakland Coffee summer blend?

Mods? Ban now.

I get that this song was bound to leak at some point, so they're probably gonna let it slide, but I think it's so shitty to wish for the whole album to leak when it's probably not even finished? I know it's frustrating that the guys started teasing the album way too soon, but their plans and ambitions clearly changed thorough the recording after they brought in Rob and CLA, and I'm glad they're taking their time now after what happened with FOAM. Meanwhile, so many people seem hellbent on ruining this whole project before it even starts because you can't wait half a year. Let them cook! Everyone is asking for amazing songs, fully fleshed out concepts and ambitious marketing, and not even giving them the time they actually need to get it done like they want it, like damn... no wonder they probably hate the fanbase.

Alright, this is also a last chance before I issue warnings for all the stupid bickering and fighting in here. Stop acting like grade schoolers and get over yourselves.

I have no idea what songs will be on the new album or if OEB was ever even in contention to make the new album. If it is going to be though, as far as we know this leaked recording pre-dates Cavallo joining the fold so it would make sense that what we’ve heard isn’t the most recent version of the song.

How about anything at all from the guys themselves

Alright which one of you guys is running this stupid ass account?

I'm sorry why are we paying this much attention to some completely random redditor? Does this guy have any kind of history about this stuff? I'm calling 100% bullshit on this

Billie Joe Armstrong stop using your official band's IG as your own personal one Challenge

It does if it's true Billie is being treated for vocal chord degradation. I'm sure they want to give him the time he needs to recover before promoting an album and then going out on a world tour. Mould make perfect sense. Blonde Billie is record-making Billie. Black hair Billie is album promo and tour Billie. At least that's the trend post 21CB. I wouldn't mind a bit of a change up though.

I dunno, I get that we’re all excited and stuff but maybe we can tone down the spamming a bit in here? Some people may actually want to come here for info

Look who’s back!!! https://instagram.com/billiejoearmstrong?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Why does every song have to be the best song ever? We should calm our expectations a bit. No one needs to be disappointed just because it's not the best GD song of all time 😅

Did we say May? May is almost over, we meant later… they changed their minds… yeah that’s it

I missed the days when Green Day was the focus of the summer.

Dude, people are really getting bored of these posts

Damn... I can already predict this day. At least 6 new pages in this thread and at the end of the day nothing new will happen.

Nothing that pertains to 1972/Saviors/Whatever-the-hell-it-is-called. I'm not sure how this all got blown up. Let this be another reminder that we shouldn't believe some random person on Reddit, 4Chan, etc. There is no leak. Period.

How did excitement over a pretty awesome and adorable BJA sighting devolve into this?

Why are we talking abt the next album already omg
