Wow people are so impatient! GD doesnt owe us anything, not teasers, EP, LPs. This band and it’s other forms of it (longshot, BJA, Network) has given us so much in the past couple of years, I can’t even think of another band that has put out so many music recently besides Weezer I guess? They’re clearly having fun, something is obviously coming out soon, they are rehearsing for the show this weekend. Just chill out and enjoy the ride.

Lol @ all this negativity. They've got something in the works and they will announce when they're ready. Be patient.

Honestly, it's all gravy to me after living through the great dry spell between AI and 21CB and almost losing them entirely after the trilogy. I mean, the amount of material they've put out within the last few years is astounding, I couldn't be happier as a Green Day fan these days.

Don’t be a dick.

This is a kick in the balls Not entirely true. My younger cousin got into Green Day during this time and I did see younger people at the show on the tour. It didn't bring in the same waves of new fans like AI but Green Day still is heavily listened to by a younger audience.

I think something really exciting is gonna happen. But also let's face it, they're not reaching for the brass ring anymore because they don't need to. They've achieved everything they've ever set out to achieve. And the music business has changed to the point where music itself no longer has value. That one thing has had the most profound impact on nearly every band. For those young enough to navigate this change, the way to survive is near constant touring. For older bands, they just can no longer keep that kind of pace up. BUt they have a back catalog and can survive on licensing and merch (and the occasional mega tour). That is the reality we live in today. Now having said all that, I still think Green Day want to write, record and release new music as much as they can, even at their own expense, and they still will.

ARMS ❤️

Even though this won't be televised I'm still looking forward to at least seeing pictures of it. Hopefully someone there will either live stream some of it or post videos

The teasers are sporadic and too far and few in between. It’s not fun anymore. It’s feeling drawn out and sad for some people who really love this band. I’m almost starting to care less and less about the 1972 project and even the band in general. Feels like they’re becoming a legacy band playing greatest hits tours when they are still young and could be doing amazing exciting things. Feels like they’re playing it safe. They’re boring dads. I was in denial but now I’ll admit it. They’re boring and finally feeling comfortable. I thought maybe it was a phase but maybe not. I guess time will tell but it looks like it’s telling they don’t give a shit about new music or doing anything exciting anymore. I’m starting to feel like 1972 is not a big deal. There was more hype about the stolen car. The stolen car even brought back the elusive Billie Joe Armstrong tweet. Buy coffee and find a stolen car. Spend money and do our bidding. I know nobody has to but it seems that is all that’s wanted from fans these days. No fun anymore.

Let's hope we get short sleeves for the actual show too! 😍 Ok maybe wrong thread but whatevs 😄

I love what Billie’s wearing 😱😍 The Kiss mask is back so I assume they’ll be doing the cover again

I was facetiming with my mom the other day and it took FOREVER for me to figure out how to end the call! They keep moving the button that makes people go away!

How have they hyped it up that much though? Three teasers over two months?

I see the Kiss mask in the background. My guess is that this will be the Hella Mega set list. I don’t expect any surprises at this show

Red shirt! Short sleeves! 😍

Did I say I love these shoes?

What a incredible story. So many people to thank for Jake being alive and recovering so well. If any one thing had gone differently he might not be,

Hopefully they band would know those select few would really get a kick out of the clues. Or maybe they don’t care anymore. They used to care. The Trilogy era and releases and playing new music to small crowds seems to be the last time Green Day was really invested into the projects and seemed really excited. The Longshot was pretty exciting too. I don’t know what has been going on with Green Day. I thought 1972 was the new exciting era and getting everyone hyped up and excited. It’s just a let down so far. Hella Mega for life. Only stuff that makes money and sells merch. Re-issues and dead end teases. I think it’s sad that a stolen car gets more hype than Green Day. It sucks that happened but it got more attention and tweets than the band or new music. It’s like a metaphor of holding on to old stuff and getting too comfortable. I miss the Trilogy era excitement. This lacklustre promotion of 1972 coupled with the pandemic and general shittiness and the disappointment of Hella Mega being a greatest hits tour was a letdown over the past couple of years. I also wish they hadn’t toured at all. It was like a contradiction of wanting to stay safe yet exposure to COVID. I’m usually a very positive and optimistic fan. This is pretty bad if even I am losing hope. I really hope I am so wrong. I could be so wrong. This has happened before and then something really exciting happens.

Don’t worry, once they make the announcement, the hype and excitement in here will be through the roof once again!!!!

I was so excited for this project. But now it's just boring and I don't give a shit. Everytime I had a notification from a BJ post on Instagram I was so quick to view it. And now I just know it doesn't have anything to do with 1972. Their ways of promoting #1972 is shit as fuck.

Oh no this is so depressing 😭 Experience with this band tells me that just when I’m at my lowest they spring something new on me and I fall in love all over again. If you’re at that point then something great is just around the corner. No way Billie isn’t celebrating the fuck out of turning 50 🥳

I'm fairly certain that it is *just* an EP, but I have no idea why that is anything but massively exciting!

All this drawn out hype and next week they’ll announce an EP and that’ll be that. Still excited for new music anyway but I’m not expecting more than that

OMG he looks so good in red😍

Sounds about right for Billie.

Blimey, we don’t know much about what’s coming other than the #1972 but that might just be pointing out they are all 50 this year. We have a non-corroborated report (not doubting, just pointing out) that they recorded 6 songs but c’mon folks, life is going on, we are getting through a horrible time and shit happens to everyone. I think people need to chill and wait and see what this hugely creative band come up with next. Maybe even be glad we can be pretty sure there is a next. Sounds like there’s a little self pity going on here lately!

They were playing Bang Bang pretty regularly during the 2019 promo shows I had really hoped it would stay in the Hella Mega set but no. It was such a set highlight.

I still think those are a coincidence. we already know the title, so why try and sprinkle in the teasers on days that coincide with that? The whole promotion process for past albums never included clever or subtle clues to the album. Also, I’m not sure who they would even be trying to be clever for. Green Day is not nearly as popular as they once were, we all know that, so these subtle clues would really only be picked up by a select few anyway. I don’t really see the purpose of that.

Here’s why I’m optimistic it’s more than an EP, Billie and tre recorded 6 songs in London without mike, BUT in the last teaser, they were clearly arranging and recording a new song with mike, and I don’t believe this was before london because billies hair matches what he’s done after that trip - it was fully jet black before and in London. Putting the pieces together a bit here, but this is what makes sense to me right now

They look great!

Billie look so good! Love the outfit

I wonder if any store employees are under suspicion since someone had to know the car and guitars were there

I love how the cops chose to focus their release on the fact that they have no idea how the car even first appeared in the place it was stolen from

If you remember that one studio video that Billie posted on Instagram before he deleted everything, they apparently rocked so hard that they blew up an amp! 😆 Wonder what song they were recording

Weirdo

Didn't that happen a lot with the Trilogy buildup though? I don't think they really care either honestly 😄

His goofy ass face lol. But happy the boy has his car back!

Billie in red 😳💕

Sounds crazy, but I would almost be surprised if they DONT play a new song considering the timing. That being said they always could save it for the next batch of shows post release The song in the last teaser was mixed to some degree, meaning that is done and ready to go whenever they say the word
