Happy to hear them go back to Trilogy style songs (their best)! Only for true fans of real rock music, and how guitars and melodies are suppose to work together!

As a side note, can't believe a new Green Day related song just dropped and the forum is dead lol.

In defense of the fan base, this debut was hardly expected. Give it time, and the people will come.

I like it. Lots more lead guitar in this than most GD songs.  Seems like it's something Billie likes to write but then gets 86'd by producers... a lot of the Trilogy demos had more lead guitar than the final tracks did, and I remember reading that East Jesus Nowhere originally had lots of lead guitar. Also, the "remix" of Fell for You had extra lead in it.

I'm a fan! I don't really hear similarities to waiting or anything but from what I can make out the lyrics are pretty good I like the bride of Frankenstein line a lot

Sucks when bill recycles his own songs. Sounds like waiting, xmas and any other gd songs. But still happy for some new materials

There's only so many notes/chords/melodies out there, y'know. It's bound to happen.

I know we've beat this dead horse already, but I wish Billie would just let the vocals rip without these chimey vocal filters. Nimrod of AI style.

Thank you so much for up loading it here. I’m not US based and was having major palpitations about not being able to hear it. Only managed the one listen before work and I’ve got the chorus stuck in my head. Love it

So, @mods are those that recorded allowed to share here? Can‘t really wait to here it lol :lol:

It can be shared but only streaming services (YouTube, Soundcloud, etc) but no direct downloads. 

If that changes we’ll let you know :)

I really liked his vocals on that "The Armstrongs" collab song. If he could do the next Green Day album like that it would phenomenal.

Agree . I love the Trilogy. I know that’s an unpopular opinion. Tbh when I first listened to it I wasn’t fussed, but I listen to those albums all the time now.

Good to know.

I apologize for jumping the gun and not getting permission first, but I assumed a mod would simply kill the post if it was a problem and I knew people were waiting.

meh, I like the trilogy but I definitely wouldn't consider it their best or even go as far as to say I love it, but that's probably a discussion for another thread. I'm glad they had moved on with RevRad which is why I'm not excited for the Longshot vocals, judging from the clips I've heard

RevRad vocals were also heavily filtered and had a lot less "pop" in the delivery. I'd say Trilogy vocals were better than RevRad.

Here's the song posted on YouTube, if that's easier for anyone:

I'm so fucking happy, i could cry....:dance:

I'm getting very excited at the concept of a full album of bluesy, power-pop/southern rock songs.

Posted

I really like the direction of this album. It's like a more laid back Green Day style. Sounds great

In my opinion RevRad isn't in their top half of albums.. I find myself going back to the Trilogy more so than any album! Bouncing off the Walls and Youngblood are the only exceptional tunes on RevRad, and Love is for Losers already surpasses most of RevRad to me.

Fuck me, so I just literally got my car back from the mechanics, then heard this song. First line: ‘I’m riding shot gun in a car that’s broken down’ 

 

You just get me Billie 😂😂😍

Love it, sounds like Green Day but with 70s / 80s influences
