i mean technically the longshot would be a solo album right?  didnt he do it all himself o. the recordings

Yes The Longshot was really his solo debut.  I would amend @That Dude 's comment by saying too bad for all the new releases we got this year, more than twice as many were covers than originals.  If you consider the first three singles to be 2019 releases, we got seven new originals in 2020 and 15 covers (14 NFM songs plus Dreaming)

The Longshot = amazing. I hope there’s more soon.

Billie solo project = great.

Happy for the covers this year. 

No Fun Monday’s were/are a real treat. We are so spoiled! Love it.

With the Longshot and No Fun Mondays, I think we are hearing Billie's base style.    

Sure, it's hard to tell where Green Day end and Billie Joe begins, but there is a difference.  

In the band, the guitar tones are harder, more serious.   The music is produced to a certain level and perfected, whereas Billie alone is more reckless and fun loving.

Do we think these songs will be altered  in any way for the release or no?

No, I think they'll be exactly as we've all downloaded already, still buying the CD though. 😁

Just better quality since most of the songs are YouTube downloaded

It may have been discussed already, but I just pulled up the translation for Amico and I love it even more now that I know.  It's about a guy comforting his friend! 

 

 

Amico

Don Backy

You cry and you don't want to tell me the truth
Tu piangi e non vuoi dirmi la verità

What's wrong
Cosa c'è che non và

But I know, you loved her and she left
Però io so, l'amavi e se ne andò

But I will help you (a-u) and I will gladly see you again
Ma io t'aiuterò (a-u) ed allegro ti rivedrò

Friend
Amico

Sing with me again
Canta ancora insieme a me

Laugh again with me
Ridi ancora insieme a me

Basically you know
In fondo sai

What these troubles
Che questi guai

One day you will certainly forget them
Un giorno certo tu li scorderai

You're not smiling tonight, it's not you anymore
Stasera non sorridi, non sei più tu

But why, but why
Ma perché, ma perché

It's because someone left
È perché qualcuno se ne andò

But I will help you (a-u) and I will gladly see you again
Ma io t'aiuterò (a-u) ed allegro ti rivedrò

Oh, oh, bet that
Oh, oh, scommetti che

I will laugh with you
Io riderò con te

You're not smiling tonight, it's not you anymore
Stasera non sorridi, non sei più tu

But why, but why
Ma perché, ma perché

It's because someone left
È perché qualcuno se ne andò

But I will help you (a-u) and I will gladly see you again

NFM going to be on ITunes or what?

Yes it will be 

 

don’t worry about lack of listing there is no set rule for iTunes and digital listings they can have it set to be listed at anytime or have it not be listed until the release date itself

I’m wondering how this will work with iTunes, if you’ve already bought most of the single releases. Not going to pay again for them in an iTunes album format.  With the pre-orders, you get the ‘complete my album’ and only pay the difference in cost. With this being done sort of back to front, as it were, we’ve probably almost paid a full album cost already!!!  Will have to get the cd though at some point.

That was why I never bought the Longshot album. The first few songs came out first on iTunes as an EP, I bought it and then when the album came out it wanted me to buy the whole thing including those songs again. I passed and just streamed it instead. It really worked against them for sales not having a complete my album purchase option.

In my limited experience, iTunes lets you add the album for less than usual price if you already bought any of the tracks.

But sometimes it doesn’t which was the point I was making with my post above.  So whether it will with NFM is still an open question until the album is released

Yep, am quite sure they will squeeze as much as possible from you.

odd. They are all showing up in Spotify for me (US). 

 

I'm excited for "That's Rock N Roll" to be released tomorrow!

I'm so into his version of A New Ingland lately, and it's the shortest one of them all :( so I can't listen to it enough. 

I won't buy the album 'cause I already downloaded all the songs 😅 but the cover is great. I doubt it has its realease here, just like Longshot's, Foxboro's and Network's didn't so I already know I'll get TN from spotify which sucks 'cause I'm a girl who actually buys the albums from the bands I like. It's something I will always complain about.

I wonder how many years before my vinyl shows up.

You guys ever wonder if Billie Joe Armstrong has anything to do with The Network? 

I don't.

I saw a local record shop advertise that they'll be getting the blue "indie" LPs...are the ones we ordered from their official site any different?! 

Debating on cancelling my order to save on shipping and just pick it up from the shop.
