Magnum Opus Of The Inglorious Kind - confirmed NOT to be Green Day

[Billie Joes Eyelids]

I don’t think Billie was joking about new music before the tour. I don’t know if it has anything to do with MOOTIK, but I think there will be new music. He was pretty specific.

On the Woody show today he was praising artists that can just put out singles whenever they want and not have to go according to a contract. I think he’s mostly talking about the freedom to release random singles and EPs that don’t adhere to a schedule.  The more he talks about it the more you can tell what he’s referring to. There are no hints of another entire album.

So there was no "big announcement" as the radio had advertised?

I'm ready to drop Green Day for whoever made those leaks lmao

It was iHeart Festival and they hardly talked about it. They mostly talked about the single and Hella Mega

[Guest]

Does anyone know about the name of this song? 

[Stefano Bras]

If there is something meant to be released in 2020 related to this theory, I'm sure there won't be legal repercussions, they seem pretty confident in being "finally free".

Bit really the new Green Day is here to stay

The green Day which was the trilogy

Revolution Radio was a glimpse into the old GD but they dont want to do this anymore

I mean, I love all Green Day. 

I'm just here for the fun speculation. I take it all with a big pinch of salt. I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever this era turns into.

Whatever this is it's fake and not reliable. (Right?) 
Until I don't hear Billie's vocals I don't believe anything.

Anyone else noticed how Billie seems to be repeating himself more in the interviews than on previous album cycles. I don't know, the "everyone in rock is writing feel good songs" that he keeps saying in every interview almost sounds like a message with some deeper relevance than just in relation to FOAMF. I think that's probably me seeing what I want to see, but it just keeps sticking out at me. 

Honestly, the longer this goes on, the better the troll would be if it really was him trying to make a point about corporate mainstream rock culture and that he's sick of it.

Yes. Like he has a specific list of bullet points, and won't stray from it. Very strange

Exactly, that's what it feels like. Also the "I hate long songs" thing. So weird.

Seems like just about every interview they've done so far, he's gone out of his way to mention all these things. Something does feel off, but I can't put my finger on it.

Don't like to feed into the craziest of tinfoil hat theories, but I found one segment from the Zane Lowe interview amusing in the context of this thread: 

BJ: "I realised that I hate long songs" 

ZL: "what's your longest song?" 

BJ: "I think it's like Jesus of Suburbia"

ZL: "How long is that?" 

BJ: "I think it's 9 minutes long" 

ZL: "So it's literally an Opus" 

What's that? Opus, you say??

Weird. I listened to this last night right after Todd put it up, but don't remember the word opus being used.

You're assuming some one of us dislike the trilogy...

Yes. I mean, to a certain extent I think it’s normal that you’re repeating yourself in interviews because everyone asks the same questions etc, but it really seems like he’s sticking to a strict protocol or something this time. Like a machine repeating the same sentences over and over. It’s weird and I’m pretty damn sure that it is some kind of hint, whatever it may be. 

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

I love this conspiracy theorizing....he's saying he same nonsensical things over and over what does it MEAN????

Imagine he's just babbling like that

Yeah, seems very fake. The drums sound like shit

[Thatsername]

One thing that makes me scratch my head even more is the fact that @Matt. has become so suspiciously quiet since the album announcement. Of course I understand it if you just need a break after all that chaos... but is there anything going on behind closed doors that you're aware of? I just made a donation to GDA, so I think I deserve an answer 😛

You can't be serious...

pls someone send me a link to that shit.

[MrElPacho]

Just listened to one of the radio interviews and Billie was having a proper go at people who strap their guitars "up to their Adams apple" and sing songs "about their f***ing feelings" or something along those lines. 

Gotta say, it didn't really sit right with me. For a start, his son Jakob wears his guitar pretty high, so he's kind of insulting his own son there. Secondly, since when were Green Day against writing about their true feelings? 

I have to say I am now a bit more suspicious as to what all of this is. Was he purely joking? Why are they repeating the same lines about wanting to bring songs back that "make you feel bad". 

He also said something about feeling "awful" and that reflects in the new music. And he said he "gets to have a beer after the show", so I guess that confirms he is drinking again to whoever was asking.
