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.

Oh Billie's in London? That must mean the single is coming any day now... Right? Right??

Sorry for the delay. This is one message I wish I didn't have to post. But I did promise to let you know. Had to ring back again, had no reply to my email. The company has confirmed what we already know from Jason. He is always reliable and accurate with his information anyway. The advertisement for their equipment, included a recent interview with Rob Cavallo this year. Therefore, the statement by him that the album will be released next year, refers to 2024, as Jason said. Really sorry to be the bearer confirming disappointing news. Anyways, at least we have something to hold on to. Maybe we will get a single from the new album as a Christmas present this year.

It can make sense for at least two reasons: - The band ended a world tour 6 months ago, it’s understandable they want to take their time to recover and get ready for another promotion carnival + tour - Marketing strategy, have the best release window Out of the two, if I had to bet I would put my money on the first one. They are 50+, they never seemed to really enjoy the promotion part of a release cycle, they always had a downtime period after touring. Covid fucked things up and is putting us in the perspective of “oh we had the last record such a long time ago”. But a whole lot of stuff happened since the FOAM release. Including a long tour that ended not one or two years ago, but 6 months ago.

21st Century Breakdown doesn’t get half the love it deserves. It went number 1 around the world…won another Grammy for best rock album and got other nominations know your enemy and 21 guns were hits….but for some reason people (a good amount) diss the record…Insomniac also doesn’t get the recognition it deserves before AI it was their 2nd highest selling album…and was more successful commercially then fans realize…I’d LOVE THE NEW ALBUM TO HAVE TBE RAWNESS AND POWER OF INSOMNIAC AND THE DEPTH/EXPERIMENTAL ENERGY OF 21st BREAKDOWN…fans rightfully so love AI and Dookie…Warning and Nimrod are fan favorites but Insomniac and 21st I think are their best and would love a hybrid of both on the new album…Westbound Sign also should have been a single and should be played on the new tour

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.

Billie - "I think...uh....ya know. Like things just...uh...happen and people, ya know. I think sometimes you need.....what....you know? Like I think we were just in a place where we COULD put out a record sooner, but if the music...ya know. If the music ya know doesn't....not that it's not good or that...." Mike - "If we aren't firing on all cylinders, we aren't going to put something out that we're not proud of. And that's just how it is. All those guys on GDC can just ya know, take that how they like. We still love 'em because they are here for us no matter what." Tre - "I have a mind to make some moogie!"

Can confirm.

It’s really the best way to hide grey

Page 409 in your coffee maker. A very distasteful cup of coffee, I am glad Oakland Coffee don't have a 409 Coffee. Anyway. I am an insider because a random person on YouTube told me they were listening to the new Green Day album and that they liked it. Gittyup 409.

Ya'll really need to stop taking these tidbits of information as gospel. It is likely that whoever is sharing these bits and pieces is only tangentially in the know and not in the inner circle, which is why most of the time the information is either wrong or vague.

The producer literally says 2024 and GDC will just ignore that because some "insiders" say something's coming at some point in the future with no more specific information than that

Eventually, one of your random tracklists is going to be right. Just based on the amount of tracklists you make

I think it means that he’s gonna go to Liverpool for Eurovision on Saturday, and will announce that the new album is gonna in the style of early 2000s Brit-pop

It looks like Billie is back in London https://www.instagram.com/p/CsG4bwKtWL7

https://www.instagram.com/p/CsHLp1RttGw/?hl=en looks like billie is in London! Not sure if it’s related to the album or just vacation

Idk it worked out a lot a last time

Yeah pretty sure we went over that. Jason from the other forum confirmed it with his sources.

American Idiot has made moving forward so difficult for this band. Every album cycle has been sabotaged by these expectations set forth on it. We all say these things: Breakdown - bigger, louder, crazier but not as good. Trilogy - way bigger but not as good. Rev Rad - trying to replicate it again, but not as good. Foam - using the album cover, but not as good. I hope that despite the idiotisms in the teasers, that we get away from that criticism this time around. But what do I know, I think FOAM is a better listen than Dookie. 😄

I know something, but I can't tell you might actually be more annoying than the fake track listings and random guesses lol

Hey guys my phone is at 72% battery. Any day now!

Tommy Bayiokos @TommyBayiokos Great throwback with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, - I broke up his concert in his room as hotel security in the film “Ordinary World”…..#GreenDay #Scene #Stunts #ThrowbackThursday

I just spit out my drink. Thank you for the laugh today.

Glad to see him again. At least we know that he's alive 😆

A red jacket of Fink is found in the studio. Nobodys sure whose jacket it is but...

Exactly, it's ok, they need to spend some time with family and friends, before going on a road trip made of tv appearance, interviews, tour, etc

i hate them so much for teasing this album since 2021.. thats Tom Delonge Style

https://forum.greenday.fm/t/album-14-news-rumours-speculation/28/716

Did we ever get confirmation that "next year" meant 2024 and not 2023?

Oups. My friend didn't told me to say it. And he didn't told me to not say it. He just told me. And I went STRAIGHT HERE to told you guys because I LOVE YOU. ps: Walking Dead trailer dropping tomorrow... A hint? 😂

As a brit, I'm gonna be annoyed if the album title is "Saviors" because I won't be able to look at it without thinking that it's spelled wrong

Yes, it is undeniable that something has changed. You can't write that Billie wasn't a social guy. With both Twitter and Instagram, he has always tried to be close to the fans with many moments of daily life (videos with dogs, with his children, with his wife, in the studio, playing at home, moments of reflection...). Things changed exactly when his son was affected by cancel culture and I well remember "fans" who went to Billie's profile, demanding that he talk about those facts. And this has also happened here, on this forum, by the same people who now complain about his absence. And I hope he will talk about that with the new album. I expect something strong even in terms of lyrics and I sincerely hope that he decides to talk about cancel culture and the rotten use of social media made of hate, insults, defamation and threats. Because you can disagree with what a person says (like with Britt) but you can't go to that person (or on THEIR profiles) and wish them death or commit suicide which happened with both Billie's son, than with Mike's wife. So I hope the new album talks about it and I honestly look forward to all the interviews (especially kerrang, nme, rolling stone) with some uncomfortable questions.

FIGHT!

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

1972: 1. Chord Degridation! 2. Britney's Yungblud 3. Delay, Delay, Delay (Echo) 4. F.G.D.C. 5. Speculation Day 6. Sometime In 2023 7. Whenever We Want 8. Break A Tre 9. The Insiders 10. I've Been Around Since 19-Freaking-72 And All I Got Was This Lousy Album

Well even the lead up to FOAM before the lockdown and release plus those billboards 😂.

I agree with this to an extent but there was a bare marketing strategy with FOAM (and the marketing done was…bad) and many bands of the same caliber have or are doing new albums.

yea its okay but why teasing it for sooo long

Still doesn’t make any sense having an fully finished album in your shelf.

When was that interview even conducted?

Not necessarily. This may not have been an “official” intentional leak

This shit is so stupid. Obviously no one knows what's going on. No one here is really an insider no matter how much you want them to be, they've gotten far more wrong than right over the years.

This is the most fun we’ve had in 407 pages 😏

I'm not gonna complain to hard because knowing a song title is 1000 times better than nothing but man I really want some office news

As much as I think that's what it could be and that's kinda what I want it to be, your statement is still...

Could very easily just be somebody regurgitating stuff they've seen here

Hopefully whatever this is comes soon because otherwise this teasing is just cruel.

We have a book mobile parked up in the next street and it always reminds me of Green Day There used to be a Ford up the road with BJA as part of the number plate too!

When you see King Charles' robe at the Coronation and you think of Billie during King for a Day. Billie needs to bring back that robe.
