Yeah we need to stop posting every instagram posts in this thread. We have an Instagram thread.

This is the furthest stretch I’ve heard from you. Impressive.

Correct. Please everyone stop the off-topic conversation. There are dedicated threads to talk about these things. If there isn't one that fits and it isn't related to new music, please use the "Random Green Day news" thread.

Let me say as someone that usually holds off posting in this thread and only checks in on irregular intervals, that whilst I agree with the sentiment, as entitled as it sounds for a fan like me to say, I think the band (and/or management) is also responsible, through that they have been consistently starving this thread of any oxygen for over a year, so the fact that things keep veering off topic becomes pretty much inevitable. I mean, there is literally nothing to discuss. Honestly, even the occasional album-related insta post or teaser for the hyperfans would in my opinion be enough to shut up most of the meaningless or baseless triangulation. As a result, my relationship with this thread for over a year now has been like to a toxic ex or addictive substance. I keep coming back for more, even though I know it will leave me feeling unfulfilled and miserable. Bring back the days when we were analysing the back of people's heads goddamnit! Green Day, this is my urgent plea to you: help make the 1972 speculation thread great again!

Almost forgot that I took these a year ago today. And a special hi to @jengd for this one!

Doesn’t have to be. Lots of acts put out great stuff in the later parts of their careers. Other acts… not so much. They could still choose the be the former rather than the latter, but I think a lot hinges on this next album. Off the cuff works when you’re 22 and everything you touch is hot; it’s a lot harder to pull off well when you’re 52.

They already did this back in April too. WTF does new merch from old albums and a Tre side project have to do with a new album? Nothing....

Are we absolutely sure he wasn’t there for the first RAK sessions?

19-savior-D-2

What if... they release the initial 1972 songs before Rob Cavallo came in as the new side project?

Sad but true. So many anniversary releases of old albums. Watch this upcoming one just be a 20th anniversary deluxe album release of American idiot smh gets frustrating checking this thread every day in hopes of news

Maybe putting the 1972 teasers out there was a mistake and the band are sorry.

Didn't you said the exact same thing when they released the new Kerplunk! merch with another company?

They said “even newer, even original-er designs”. I don’t know about you, but it sounds like a single is coming to coincide with NEW designs!! Why hype us up like this if it’s just going to be a “new” design from one of their older albums?

Why is this relevant to the 1972 thread?

21 GUNS!!!!! I fucked that up didn't I
