I love billie and gd, but i dont like their approach. Just release the damn album Teasing isn't childish if done appropriately. Sure you can over-hype any given thing and I don't like excessive teasing, but what is the fun in releasing something with no previous announcement / trailer or teaser of any kind? That would be so boring, wouldn't it? As @Joe. said, it's meant to generate anticipation, suspense and an overall feeling of excitement. Don't like it? Then don't frequent this thread if you don't want to know. Simple as that. Also, don't worry: I take their word that it will be released soon enough

I’m pretty sure the only way to upload photos is by downloading the app on your phone. You can. A friend of mine does it.

Still Breathing now has over 40 million streams on Spotify which is more than most of their back catalogue, and Bang Bang isn’t far behind.

That's true - based on the amount of Spotify plays those songs have in comparison to where they sat on the charts it looks more like the radio success of the songs trickled down to Spotify, instead of Spotify breaking the songs. An example of a rock song that first broke on Spotify, then trickled down to rock radio, then down to mainstream radio (based on streaming success) is "Feel It Still", which is at about 400,000,000 streams right now.

Longshot isn't Green Day for one thing, and all they've done is make a private account for teaser clips that get shared publicly in seconds anyway. I think it's hilarious (hand on heart, even before I got accepted). For those still trying, i'd say re-requesting is your best chance. If Billie's looking at the list of people requesting to follow, most recent will be at the top (logically) so if it's random then your chance is better when you've requested to follow just as he's online. Tagging/mentioning them in posts maybe works too but I honestly don't know if he even saw mine or if i just happened to be at the top of the requests list at the right time.

I love billie and gd, but i dont like their approach. Just release the damn album The approach itself doesn't bother me anymore because I can see that, from Billie's point of view, he chooses who and how many people he interacts with, and that way he feels like interacting a lot with them, which is understandable and positive for him. It isn't fun for me personally as internet and social media make me freak out a lot and not in a fun way, and of course because I'm on the other side of the fence and trying to get in without succeeding, but I'm overall happy to see Billie finds his comfort with it, whether I'm in the lucky losers or not. And incidentally it made me post for the first time (or more post a public supplication to be accepted) so there's something good for me also I guess

They're hyping up the band and the release for their tightest fanbase but at the same time keep it from becoming a huge deal. From the point of view of someone who studies marketing, it's a really interesting and innovative approach.

Any and all contact is a good time, and they’ve been so active lately I much prefer this mystery and game playing to silence and boredom. December was unbearable, then the Coverups made me happy and now this. It’s all good.

If pressed I could probably name all 8 of the Bradford children from Eight is Enough, but getting BJs attention for the Longshot, sadly, I got no game! Thus, #loserforlife

Dookie Basket Case Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I have been trying to get the "in" on Instagram and have been shut out so far. Does anyone know the super secret password to get into the Longshot club? I haven't had much luck so far.

Dookie Basket Case Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 That password violates my music morals, so I guess I won't be getting in. This sucks!
StJimmyOfSeptember Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I can’t believe how pissed people are getting. Don’t forget that members of GD is involved in this, and they like to unify people. Maybe the whole point of making the account private was to force us to band together in order to figure this out.
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 Maybe the real Longshot were the friends we met along the way
