Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Article here from Forbes: Even After All These Years, Green Day Still Rules Rock Radio https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2019/10/22/even-after-all-these-years-green-day-still-rules-rock-radio/#262c0aff34a5 Green Day’s upcoming thirteenth album Father of All Motherfuckers doesn’t drop until next February, but the band is already busy promoting the effort with a new single. Their latest offering “Father of All…” (which the album is also being referred to by those who don’t want to use its more adult-leaning proper title) bolted to the top of a genre-specific chart last frame, giving them another leader and helping them inch closer to the all-time record for the most champions. “Father of All…” became Green Day’s fifth No. 1 hit on the Rock Airplay chart last week, proving that even after decades in the business, the band is still regarded as a favorite among those who listen to rock radio across the country. With five No. 1 hits on the Rock Airplay chart, Green Day holds onto the title of the act with the second-most leaders, but they break out of a tie with three other super successful groups. According to Billboard, before last week, the pop-punk legends were on the same level as Imagine Dragons, The Black Keys and Cage The Elephant, all of whom have collected a quartet of chart-owning titles. Those three bands have been pushed to third place on the list of the acts who have ruled the most times. Now, Green Day sits alone in second place with five No. 1 rock radio smashes, and they only need one more to match the current champion of the chart, Foo Fighters, who have secured half a dozen leaders. Green Day scored their first chart-topper in 2009, the year this specific list was introduced by Billboard. The group’s single “Know Your Enemy” rocketed to the top, and since then, they’ve reached the highest rung fairly regularly. They returned to the top in 2012 with “Oh Love,” in 2016 with “Bang Bang” and until this latest win, most recently with 2017’s “Still Breathing.” It’s worth mentioning that if the Rock Airplay chart had been around before 2009, Green Day’s career count would surely be much, much higher. The band has produced some of the most successful rock tracks of all time in the past quarter century, and they enjoyed crossover success in both the ‘90s and again in the mid-aughts. It’s tough to predict how many No. 1s they may have by now if the Rock Airplay list existed when they first appeared on the scene, but it would surely be higher than five. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would usually say within the next week it should be out. I'm still subscribed to the magazine, and I usually receive a new issue in that timeframe after they post the cover story online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ollhjr Posted October 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2019 That I can! I am also hoping that they have additional content for the interview on their website. Maybe they will have more pictures or video that goes with the interview. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I’m not even a coffee drinker (I usually drink tea) but I got a free box of Oakland Coffee K pods and damn that’s good coffee. I like having it around for the occasional cup when I’m in the mood. Only brand I’ll drink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I’m trying to find the thread where it was first reported but a while back someone spotted that Billie was listed in the cast of a documentary series coming out in February on rock musicians that surf. Well I checked it today to see if there was any more information on this series and it looks like Billie is no longer listed there https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10274970/ I was trying to find what we knew about it before. I thought it was a Discovery Channel series only now the page only has a release date for Brazil where it was produced and no mention of a network. But now it’s not clear if he’s even in it so there’s that 😕 ETA: Okay searched and found this so it seems he is still in it, but it is only airing in Brazil? https://beachgrit.com/2019/09/watch-new-tv-show-follows-eddie-vedder-jack-johnson-kelly-slater-and-other-surfing-rockers/ ETA: Okay searched and found this so it seems he is still in it, but it is only airing in Brazil? https://beachgrit.com/2019/09/watch-new-tv-show-follows-eddie-vedder-jack-johnson-kelly-slater-and-other-surfing-rockers/ This says they have not announced US distribution but hopefully our friends at Green Day Brazil will share it @Alf https://www.yewonline.com/2019/09/01/surfing-rockers-sliding-into-tvs/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted October 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2019 Green Day land the number one spot on NME's list of Best Pop Punk Bands Ever: https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/best-pop-punk-bands-1943797?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_medium=&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign= It's only a paragraph: The only punk-pop band truly deserving the epithet ‘iconic’, Green Day transcended the gonk rock roots of the scene to become stadium level rebels and cultural commentators, delivering high-concept behemoths like ‘American Idiot’, indulging themselves over triple-album releases and making their own sodding Broadway musical. The band every punk-pop kid wants to be in. Admit it, NOFX. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosuke Hanamura Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Please, oh please let it be Green Day (or literally any of the other rumored acts would be okay too) and not that overhyped Taylor Swift. I want to see some PRO shot footage of the boys! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 @Charby yes, it looks like it and @Yosuke Hanamura exactly, Glastonbury always gets good tv coverage which is why I really hope they play, also it’s huge and they’ve never done it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREEN DAY – AMERICAN IDIOT It might just be for a few seconds, but Green Day’s American Idiot appears in The Simpsons Movie. Yes, you might remember them playing the Simpsons theme on a barge that eventually sinks into the polluted lake, killing the band, but at their funeral a special organ version of American Idiot rings out in the church. Moments later, Abe bursts in while screaming about impending doom to set up the rest of the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mato Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I thought it was interesting that Strangers And Thieves was originally intended to be a Rodeo Queens song. It gives me hope they still exist as a project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
