I gues they are too respectfull for these things now. But something related yes They've never really been anti-religious. Billie's collection of kitchy religious items makes it look like he's an old catholic lady
HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Green Day: let’s leak the cover to check the reaction from the community > GDC: oh super cool cover, Greek mythology, nice, epic > Green Day: damn we fucked it up, it was supposed to be Jesus > WB: we have no time to make a new one > Green Day: fuck > The cover art we actually get:

Assuming the cover is legit, I can't see it being unrelated to the content of the album. Maybe it's intentional and there's some meaning to the parallel. Agreed. If it's legit it shouldn't be random

Billie has since said that he used prayer to help him in recovery but was he just messing with us, who knows at this point, but just because he has what he calls "a religion fetish" for icons, doesn't mean he has faith.

No it isn't, because no one outside of our die-hard-fan-bubble even cares about any of that stuff. No media jumped on this, not even Kerrang. I do believe that it's the band fucking with our heads, but this has nothing to do with marketing because the fans would buy the record anyway. I'm not sure what it is they're doing and I'm not so sure anymore if it's still funny or just annoying at this point, but well... counting on the 10th I guess 😂

In my opinion they have faith (as a private thing) or Britt for example, she believes (even if we're talking of the band I know, sorry), but yes, maybe they're not into the church, but faith in general, as spreading love, and peace, and do good things for people annd be kind to nature ahah which is beautiful 6 minutes ago, Thatsername said: No it isn't, because no one outside of our die-hard-fan-bubble even cares about any of that stuff.

They like to play with us (see The Longshot, see RevRad)
DeJennsitized Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I have missed a lot didn't read everything, just went back to find the picture. I dig the cover though, and LOVE that title - Magnum Opus of the Inglorious Kind sounds epic. I hope it's real!

That's true. I'm not saying he's religious, I can't know obviously. I wouldn't say he's against it either though. Liking a religious aesthetic (I refuse to call pink plastic Jesuses art ) doesn't make anyone a Christian, but it's an indication he doesn't have a negative attitude to all things religion. Plus all the allusions to Jesus and faith in his lyrics make it seem like he finds it interesting at least. Being critical of organized religion and bigotry doesn't contradict that. tl;dr he kinda has religious vibes
Minority103 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Quote “Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.” Can we have the link for the "Track list"? Is this final phrase included? It sounds very Green Dayish

Xelgrim Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 17 minutes ago, Lacky said: I want to believe. OP of that thread is claiming we'll hear the track in 5 days (September 10).
Lacky Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 (from the Reddit post) "If you have any questions, I can give some answers. But of course, not too much. The song itself (FOAMF) has a very epic, grand sound to it and it's what has been heard in two of the IG studio leaks. 5 days until the release"

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I think those lyrics are clearly bullshit because, among many reasons, on one hand the guy claim that the IG studio clips are from that song, and on the other hand the lyrics seems to take account only of the second clip’s lyrics. 5 minutes ago, Lacky said: Also this https://www.instagram.com/stories/alt987fm/2125924491448408750/?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=1f3j2k8iez6f5&fbclid=IwAR10dYJduhJ7xTuIPSuS29dvZfQ4mgG-_f-LDueChQVYOWe09S8Rz0ZRu5w (found on an italian page) Radio interviews soon?
