Wait, who do people think Mike on the cover is?  The naked man?  I honestly don't think any of them look like the guys.    Am I crazy?  I'm not seeing the resemblance.

Plus it's actually rare for them to put themselves on the cover.   They've only done it twice if you count the Trilogy as one album.

Mike's the shouty one on the left of Billie

Also as cool as the possible leaks sound.   Anyone else think the leaker is kind of an asshole for posting them?  Like The Band/Butch etc have done a pretty good job keeping things secret and then suddenly this person starts filming shit with their phone and posting it on Instagram.   Just seems super unprofessional for someone who presumably works in a studio or has enough connections to hang out in one.    Why ruin the surprise for everyone?

Last thing we got was another leak this morning/night depends on where you are

I was just being silly. Didn't post until I caught up on the 7 pages since I went to sleep. But thanks!

Perhaps it's one of the band leaking everything.

I think at this stage it’s safe to say if the leaks are real it’s an ‘inside job’ 🙂 cause if it weren’t it would be taken down or debunked by now

It probably is the band.

There's a high chance that it's Billie who's posting these clips!

I think you may be right.   I just checked the cover again via the link above and I'm not even seeing where Billie supposed to be?  The man laying down with the Tattoos?   

I must be blind today.

what doesnt make much sense to me is, if indeed they already have pressed vinyl and copies of it like showed on the videos, why wait til february to release the album? 🤔

Could be a single

Either a single, or a test print. Different formats can sound slightly different (download, CD, vinyl etc), so they often do small test prints to listen and maybe share with family and friends.

yeah but singles aren’t normally pressed on 12’ vinyl as it appears to be on the video

I've heard an arena tour in Europe(Dublin/London/Manchester and Cardiff total dates in UK and Ireland portion) in late spring with US in the Summer/autumn

European festival circuit in summer of 2021 with US arena that winter

 

May be well off, but that's the gossip..

I’ll storm the stage and confront Jeff about his actions with pigeons if they announce a Cardiff date.

Not sure there’s a venue that suits them, id imagine the motorpoint is too small, and the Principality is a stadium.

[dookmeister333]

It is most likely Billie himself who is "leaking it" you see the person holding the record, he is wearing fingerless gloves..to hide tattoos on his hands most likely, and what member has tattoo's on his hand/fingers?? ...also in the choir clip, the melody that they are singing has GD written all over it. Also in one of the clips the camera points down to the floor and you see Tre's converse and his tartan pants and hear his voice.

In my opinion I don't know why people are still assuming this is fake. To me it's 💯 legit, and people should just enjoy the excitement of the impending music.

If the album has a more operatic/ theatrical vibe like the leaks allude to, it could be at the Millennium Centre and they could have an orchestra with them. It's highly unlikely, but would be interesting to hear them with an orchestra on some classics too.

Someone mentioned the thumb is covering the title. So the title would be that little space on the left side? And how do we know it’s MOIK and not FOAM? 

[Virginia Lot Lizard]

It’s still dumb that the leaked cover has Parental Advisory on it.

Also. @BillnTed said there’d be an announcement next week. I don’t think it’s the announcement of the new iPhone.

This is the worstttttttt. Waiting. 

If this announcement next week sucks that’ll really suck.

Or even better there is no announcement. Yuck. Lord of the Flies to the next level will happen up in here. 

Time is coming to fast. But the explosion that’ll happen if nothing happens will be insane.

I wonder if the success of this album would make them change their minds about leaving Warner. It would make sense to continue big if they were to be on top.

Why should they leave Warner? Were there any troubles between them?

[Im.a.basket.case]

If it's fake I will blend my blender while its blending my nimrod....and then...add a little chocolate syrup for flavor.

[greenalert997x]

Guys, I'm sure those videos are fake! I researched and look at it.

I remember exactly what Billie told them. His words are cut out and added to the 'leak'

Furthermore this is the same studio! FAKE AS FUCK

So they could put out more new music at a faster pace. I think that's what was said.

Some people seem to think a stadium tour though. 

And i believe they played Motorpoint on the AI tour?

 

What about tramshed.... I mean that would be fucking awesome, but tickets would sell out in seconds. obviously,.

If it is the same cover we see here, the thumb isn't hiding the title, but the band name.

He says that in most studio videos I’ve seen of them

Warner sold 90 Million records more thanks to Green Day, I think Warner acts quite cooperative and is happy when Green Day wants to release music 😅

The thumb is not hiding the title. I screenshoted it and you could read the title if the quality of the video would be better
