That Dude Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I wish that there was some way for me to see these small shows, but I'm in South Carolina....absolutely no way to make it. About the the small shows I'll never attend though....how cool would it be if they were in a small venue, small crowd and just did a huge Green Day concert! The whole works but smaller. Very cool. Anyway. Why is everybody so angry? It's the heat isn't it? It's crazy hot and it's making everyone crazy. Stay cool. Green Day music coming within 4 years, I bet on your money money on it!

I apologize for misleading anyone with what turned out to be false information regarding something different happening this week; that was obviously not my intent. I know some here will be upset and call me a liar but that’s the name of the game when trying to share nth-hand information. I’d rather admit I had something wrong than not say anything at all because, despite some beliefs, I’m an honest person. Still looking forward to a great summer of Green Day build up. No worries man, we all make mistakes. This is truly an exciting time for all of us Getting back to the album, the sessions are said to have been from February through April. And now we’re into June. How long do they usually take after recording sessions to announce the albums?
Redundantuserjinxboy Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Matt hey man mistakes happen bro don't worry 💯💯👊 But if you fucking cross us again I will fucking find you and FUCK YOU UP. Your going to have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. (Before any one freaks out in joking..or am I?)

Insane Ginny Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 So I sold my car to buy Green Day tickets for nothing? 🤨
Jankowski576 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I get it everyone wants to believe Matt is an insider because he’s a mod, but more than likely he’s just reading the tea leaves like all of us. And that is great. It is exciting that we don’t know the next Green Day era - but let’s embrace that and try to enjoy them for what they are and get excited for new risks and chances. Do I believe Matt has much more info available than us? No. And that’s probably what you all should take him as. A Green Day Superfan that reads the tea leaves better than most of us do. We should respect him for his fandom, but once again - it’s pretty crazy to believe he has more info than us. It’s been proven time and time againthat he doesn’t, but more that he interprets better than us, and that’s what makes him a great part of our community

To me it seems more likely than not tbh. And another thing I don't get is why people find it necessary to try to prove people they don't know as a bluffer. I personally find it a bit off.
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 It's not necessary to turn this into a piss context about who has more information in the first place. Clearly we are all guessing anyway. I'm not going to lie, it's nice to be right as I suppose it's estabilished now that there won't be an announcement or a single this week. So at least I'm not disappointed. But hey, I'd be happy to be wrong. Guesses are guesses and we're talking about a band. It's not like this is super important or that any of us can back our guesses up with proof, so any right or wrong is always a matter of luck. Let's just have fun.
Insane Ginny Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 GDC members are definetly in contact with the band. @Fuzz is even in charge of the fan emails 😂
WhiteTim Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 GDA is one of the largest GD fansites and as Matt is not a mod but a GDA staff member and knowing how labels and management work they do keep in contact with sites so it’s not impossible for people like Fuzz and Matt and the higher up GDA staff to have contact with people in the know
pieterv Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 This thread has been a touch of excitement, often funny, but too often draining with the "insider" drama. The rumour being a dud is just the perfect comedic ending to this dramatic arc of the new album story. I liked it, good job everyone. When the next somewhat credible rumour pops up, remember that rumours are often a game of telephone and even when they come from a reliable source there's no telling what you're going to get. Just enjoy the ride with a liiittle less drama.

As well as various members of staff meeting/being in contact with various people in the GD world who might have more knowledge than the average fan. I don't have any contacts or places to get extra info but some of the GDA peeps do (eg Matt). Like, in the past they've been in regular contact with representatives of the band, and representatives of the band have posted on here. This has all been common knowledge, the idea that people from GDA would make stuff up or pretend to be an "insider" when they're not is new (and kind of amusing ). To my knowledge no one who runs the site has ever posted any hints or info that they didn't believe to be reliable, that just isn't how anyone on the team operates.

Hermione Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Also I'm not trying to be like yeah people from GDA are super insiders and know more than you lol. I don't even know the details about this stuff, what sources of info anyone has or how much/how often they hear about anything etc. Most of the time probably no one knows more about what's going on than anyone else and wouldn't claim to. I just know people on the GDA team are trustworthy.

Then you said something along the lines of Green Day being the focus of the summer. I guess it’s mostly our fault, reading too much into the hype
Jinxs Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 So @Matt. It wasn't what we thought it was, that's okay. But you did green day would be the focus for the summer, is that untrue too?

Probably June 21st 😂😂 So Matt didn't lie.

localinsomniac Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Green Day, will be the focus of the summer, after the Longshot/Coverups stuff is a wrap. Beginning in late June or early July- would that be more accurate?
