Is that a screen shot from Billie's Insta stpry? If yes then I'm also on it lol. 

Yep.

screenshots of screenshots 🤣

[jengd]

That confirms it then 😂

[That Dude]

I wonder if we will ever know the real identity of this band.

Billie hates them, Mike sarcasticly said it was Green Day.  Tre went wrestling...yeah yeah yeah.

 

[Elxufinnishidiot]

Ah yes it is from there. Well now Billie has read my comment!! :DDD

[AnonymWarnerGermany]

Finally some panicland recognition from billie ahhhhhhh

[pacejunkie punk]

It’s been so long since we’ve had real fan interaction with him on socials I love that he’s enjoying the comments and getting as much of a kick out of this as we are. The gang is together again 💚

[Annie, get your gun]

Maybe I'm skeptic for other reasons that have nothing to do with this, but I don't believe it.

I think is is interesting that he said there would not be a part two to a Green Day album. Did he have part two’s on the mind? 😏 #MM2020II

That would be just like him though.  Doesn’t mean it will just be redux though.

[willplaygame]

So it’s basically confirmed now right?

Cause if we’re to believe BJA, then why, if this whole thing wasn’t real, would’nt he just say « look, we did the 2003 Network record, but that ain’t us, sorry ».

Yet, instead of that, he’s saying « we’re not The Network », which we all know for a fact, is not true.

[Elxufinnishidiot]

Do you guys now think that in some show, The Network will play before Green Day in few shows, like in 2005?

But it's not Green Day cuz they aren't Green Day.

Depends if there are live shows at all.

[petros]

That's so awesome actually. Love it and I love the Network.  Can be the best release since 2009 for me!

Is it me or does Billie seem to be having a lot more fun with this than he did during FOAM promotion?  

[Christian's Inferno!]

Saw this thread and listened to the two songs. The Prophecy doesn't really excite me at all. It seems like maybe an intro track to the album. The Ultimate Test seems more promising and has a pretty epic feel

I was never that into The Network. I remember a couple songs being pretty good but it's been ages since I've listened to it. I prefer Foxboro but I feel like almost everything they've done since the trilogy has been inspired by FBHTs so I'm all for something different

I do welcome this because FOAMF was boring and I welcome something more experimental

Does anyone have the lyrics to these tracks; specifically the Ultimate Test cause it's harder to understand the lyrics on that track

Probably had contractual promotion restrictions.

Definitely. FOAMF was lackluster in terms of hype build up etc. it seemed almost like they just wanted to get the album out and forget about it.

he is probably just bored and happy to have some social interaction, probably like everyone of us during this pandemic

[petros]

Also these songs are produced like green day should be produced. Why do all the albums since and after the trilogy don't have that classic green day sound and this band that is not supposed to be green day has it?

True, and to be fair I suppose the flagship entity is the one that keeps the lights on, enabling them to do fun stuff like this. It can’t all be fun all the time and Green Day more recently seems more like a business than a band.

[DookieLukie]

I've liked their side projects more than GD releases since AI. I feel like they're trying too hard to keep the GD sound and are afraid to experiment under their name.

Maybe if we stream/purchase the crap out of the Trilogy they will realize they can get weird again under the Green Day brand.

If they want to wear masks or feature Lady Cobra on every song, I am right behind them.

Yes, and it annoys me. To be fair, they tried changing their sound on the trilogy and with FOAMF, and you see how that went. Maybe they trying to keep up appearances as Green Day and then actually do something experimental (and good) under a different name.
