Ready Fire Aim didn't really feel like a full fledged album promotion, so not sure if that even counts. FRA didn't get any life nor did they try to give it any. It was like here you go NHL do with it as you wish. I'm awaiting the true second single. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy/upbeat music with dark & simple lyrics. I love when he does that, there's some of his most powerful writing in songs like these. Longshot lyrics are great and there was a tinge of darkness in them that seems to be growing stronger with FOAM. I can't say RevRad wasn't a nice change with overall happier mood though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super sad/dark sounding but happy words? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 It may not leak at all given that Crush has kept a much tighter lid on things than Pat did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted December 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2019 I’m disappointed that this promotional period seems to be grinding to a halt. It started great with a tour announcement (albeit with shows almost a year away), a single and a music video but since that time, three months have gone and we’ve gotten that same song performed about a half dozen times and little else apart from an NHL song that is not a single, never performed, no music video and a four year old Christmas song. I thought we’d have more singles by now, more interviews, more appearances. They’ve been averaging no more than one or two major things a month. At least with the long wait for the album I thought this time would be packed with new stuff and surprises. I’m even stuck waiting two more months for a damn coffee mug. If this is all there’s gonna be then just give me the album already. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought by now we'd get another single, music video, some more interviews, and more magazine cover stories. And yeah they've made some appearances, but it's mostly been quiet. It's so weird. I remember during the Trilogy, it felt like the band were doing interviews and such every other week. This time it was like one month of excitement and the nothing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted December 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'm still not over the fact that the tour that was announced was Hella Mega too I mean not GD plus one support like previous tours but three supports. It's great if you like all four bands but if not... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the idea and package tours are popular (much to my disdain) but I still wish they would've done a regular arena tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna do my best to be patient cause I think they'll be around for a while for this stint.

Beerjeezus Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I would hate it, but I'd accept if they got their ticket prices on par with other big bands, because GD has been on the cheaper side of the price range for arena/stadium shows until now, but making this a "pay more to get something you won't enjoy" deal is even worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Grohl Posted December 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2019 Honestly, I'd rather pay a higher price point to see Green Day on their own than deal with something like the Hella Mega tour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Absolutely. I know some of the dates were billed as GD only but two supports have already been added to some of those and I’m starting to think a fourth will be and it will just be a slightly different kind of Hella Mega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Seems like a new trends and a Crush thing. Weezer released a single before they even wrote the other songs for the album! I remember when Good Charlotte made their second to last album, they released a single like a year ahead of it. I don't understand the logic, but it's becoming a thing. Just seems dumb because you want to release with some momentum. Most casual fans probably have forgotten by now. My thought is that they are trying to build up pre-orders so they can advertise a big first week sales total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably true since every ticket presale and piece of merch has been attached to an album pre-order. I’m sure the album has already sold a lot before anyone has heard it, maybe enough to debut at number one on some charts. It seems artificial but there you go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
