Fuck, why did I write Madonna? I was a little bit drunk last night 😂

Not sure about that. First, when you say they haven’t done anything inspired by besides three things, it kind of negates your argument. I would argue Insomniac was the most punk inspired, Warning was acoustic folk inspired, AI was The Who’s mod/progressive rock, 21CB classic rock, Trilogy was power pop, FOAM was garage and funk inspired, so they’ve done a lot of styles (and that’s not including the heavily inspired side projects). I would say a metal inspired album is something they have yet to do and could do really well.

21CB > Continuation of American Idiot Uno > The band themselves described this one as classic Green Day, if you disagree with their assertion you can still consider this a continuation of some songs off 21CB Dos > Continuation of Stop Drop & Roll Tré > The band themselves describe this one as epic, a sort of continuation of AI/21CB but most of the album is fairly standard GD songs that easily could've been placed on Uno RR > Somewhat of a return to AI/21CB sound but with elements of the trilogy sound in there still The Longshot > Continuation of the Foxboro and trilogy sound FOAMF > Outside of a couple tracks, most of the songs on this album can be considered a continuation of Foxboro/Longshot/trilogy while Graffitia could be considered a RR or AI/21CB style track Money Money 2020 Part II > Continuation of Money Money 2020 sound Yes, it's true that each project has their own unique elements but a metal album would be a complete drastic shift unlike anything the band has done since at least Stop Drop & Roll and that's my opinion I truly don't believe that FOAMF is all that different for GD outside of Oh Yeah and Junkies on a High. My issue with a lot of the album is just the quality of the songs rather than the genre or style of songs they're trying to make. FRA sounds just like a GD song but not a good one. MMOTR isn't very different for GD. Get rid of the falsetto from the title track and it's a Green Day sounding track (and would be a much better one without the falsettos imo). Side B is honestly quite typical of GD except JOAH which honestly to me sounds like a mix between Restless Heart Syndrome and Nightlife

I don’t know how you can say that. I don’t think any album was a continuation of their previous sound really. What was FOAM a continuation of? RevRad? It was a departure, and from what we’ve heard the next album won’t be a continuation of FOAM, it will be something new for them in at least some regard, while still having Green Day signature elements like always.

Have zoomed in on this one for you (us)

I’m not a doctor, bur I think he hurt his leg!

UPS still saying mine has not shipped yet 😧

Next time join me in the Cocktail Thread. I'm here 24/7

Hearing a heavy sounding song like Bang Bang should not be an indication that we're getting a heavy album. Bang Bang was the heaviest song on RR and no other song was close to as heavy sounding

Yeah I am with you on this. Each album has it's own flavour and Kerplunk is the only album I can think of that feels like a genuine direct continuation of the album before it in my personal opinion (besides the Tre which could be considered a continuation of Uno and Dos, but really should just be considered a single 3 part experience). I don't necessarily think Green Day are going to go with a pure metal inspired sound this time based on the teasers (Sum 41's last couple of records are definitely more metal inspired than the 1972 stuff in the teasers), but I am definitely getting some thrash, surf rock and hard rock vibes here. Could they pull off something metal inspired though? Fuck yes. I think they'd absolutely kill it. Whatever it ends up being, I'll bet on it offering something new while also offering something familiar, just like all the records that came before. Yeah, nope. I don't think this is going to be heavier than Bang Bang, at least not in terms of a punk rock song. Who knows though? maybe the final mix will pack a punch, but it will be a different kind of heavy, more of a hard rock heavy than a punk rock heavy.

Many?

Wow! This one is absolutely fantastic https://www.instagram.com/p/CoO651ZsIz7/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Some interesting and relevant points so far. But from the teasers and past albums, imho I'm convinced the next album will follow on in the vain of RevRad, songs like Bang, Bang.

Thought this was worth posting here too (Billie doesn't look his age at all)

Whaaat! No pics yet or comments on how fantastic Billie looked last night??? Call ourselves fangirls…..tsk tsk 😂😂😂

If they weren't going to be ready to go by then they would have already announced it.

I've always said that was my theme song in my 20s.

A detailed unboxing:

F chord? Are you playing half step down?

„The worst hangover ever“ by the Offspring was my soundtrack today. Let me think about it till next weekend 😂😂😂

I hope he addresses what happened

Coverups show moved, so we will don't get any further information until March.

Guys, Green Day are a Country band now. The album will be a 1970s Country classics and some deep cuts that Billie rocks out to. Heavy metal, pssssh.

bang bang was sick! i still remember hearing it for the first time ever (shame it gave us wrong hopes for the rest of revrad, but its still a very solid lp!) and tré with his leg brace doesnt look like he will be able to play a full set by the end of the month, i play drums, and both legs need to work, you need a lot of physical work in order to play the drums

I get what you're saying but if you played me Bang Bang from a crappy mobile phone speaker I'd still think it was a heavier overall song. This one's a bit more Foo Fighters (alternative/hard rock) kind of heavy than an aggressive Green Day (punk rock) kind of heavy. Different kinds of heavy, but Bang Bang is a much angrier sounding song for sure.

Madonna?

Madonna?

Well, they inspired a lot of bands/interprets like Good Charlotte, blink, fall out boy and even madonna and lady gaga plus many

That sounds awesome except the Church on Sunday part sticks out like a sore thumb 😂

I don't see the next album to be a completely different genre for the band. The last time the band did a completely original album with a completely different genre than they're used to was Stop Drop & Roll in 2008. Every album since then has been at least somewhat of a continuation of a previous sound. What makes you think this album is going to be a completely new sound or style for the band?

I was thinking that too...appears he bathed in the fountain of youth again!

Is the general consensus on Earth that Green Day have kind of sucked since 2010? 🤔 Foam rules!!

Walk alone around town with it, saying "In Punk Rock, Nice guys finish last" in your best narrator voice.

Green Day store is a joke. I pre ordered the limited edition of FOAM with no censoring over the motherfuckers part on vinyl. It got lost between the store and UPS and were never seen again 🙃

RevRad wasn't spikes, especially as the tour went on.

I think we must embrace the idea that we won't get anything by the first half of the year. Probably they announce a late summer or fall tour of course with a first single under the sleeve. But I'm being so optimistic though. Idk why I got this feeling that they delayed it to late year or early 2024.

That’s what I’m talking about! Look at those eyes 😍😍

From Tumblr (stgloria) Few more from around the Internet

This came up on my Tumblr and I thought it was worth posting in here for the eyes

Apparently this is going to be a similar thing to Fred Armisen’s Netflix special Standup for Drummers (in which Tre appeared) but this one is for bassists. I hope they edit the shows together and air it as another special. The Standup for Drummers show is amazing for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Fred’s a genius the way he incorporates music and music history into his standup.

Hey guys, I just made a thread so we can talk about Tré's leg injury

Show was just cancelled... 😮
