madafaka Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 They would never release something 26 minutes long, without a good reason. Perhaps MOOTIK is fake, but FOAMF is definitely just a half-assed hand-in for Warner. And then ask yourself this: Why would they not have another project in the pipeline to launch their independent career as soon as possible? They must've have realized what we are now realizing: That this would be a bad-ass move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must've have realized what we are now realizing: That this would be a bad-ass move I have a theory. In that KROQ interview, Billie said they recorded 18 songs in total, but the album only has 10 songs. In the New Album Anticipation Thread, @Matt. said they finished recording in April, but then went back in the studio in May. My theory is that they half-assed the album with only 10 songs at 26 minutes and terrible artwork to spite Warner and finish their contract. And then maybe they took those 8 extra songs and went back into the studio to record another 4 or 5 songs to make up another new album! Billie himself even said there’s more music coming out before the tour!!! Magnum Opus maybe?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only heard him say that they "might release new music next year" in the KROQ interview. When did he say they would release something before the tour?

Is it just me or does it seem like the use of "trolls" and the answer being FRA hinting they're fucking with us? 16 minutes ago, throwaway9802 said: Did we ever figure out the story behind this guy? https://www.instagram.com/sloankettering420/?igshid=13i3hkmshb1dy In general (especially with the last 2 videos), it seems like the hashtags could only be done by an insider or someone who was following rumors about the band in realtime Yeah, that's a fake.

Maybe they presented the “real” album to Warner, then they got pissed off at the September-February release schedule, so they went back in and recorded FOAMF. But then Warner must have pissed them off before that too because they made that private IG account to document the recording process, SongsForAssholes. Because if not Warner, who else would the “Assholes” be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if not Warner, who else would the “Assholes” be? Somebody pointed out that Febuary isn't a great month for album sales which makes sense I don't think Green Day got mad at them for that, I think maybe they're trying to keep Warner from making the amount of money they potentially could if it was released more during the holidays As far as the ig account goes they seem pretty open about wanting off their contract so they definitely got screwed over before the release date shit (if that was even Warner forcing it on them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new song even sounds like it was specifically made for a hockey ad, so maybe they knew it was part of their contract and they were just like, "well there is it, in your face." I don't know.

I don't understand what Green Day is trying to tell us nowadays: lyrics, song descriptions, feverish e-mail-newsletters, everything's a mystery for me right now, so🤷♀️😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im.a.basket.case Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Sounds like they are still considering sticking with Warner...thinking this may end the speculation that this was a troll album. http://marksfriggin.com/news.htm#wed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
