It’s not to say that they are a bad management group all together but you can’t promote green day like fall out boy. That’s true, but it’s the band who writes the music...
pacejunkie punk Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I’ve got to give it another listen but I stand by my opinion that the best Green Day music since 2018 has come from the side projects. 3 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: That’s true, but it’s the band who writes the music... Yeah. Can’t blame Crush. This sounds like a song they wrote in under five minutes
Cunt Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 1 minute ago, Matt. said: What’s the alternative? Move to different management or Crush needs to promote Green Day more maturely. Yeah I get that the fan base spans across generations but the majority of fans are adults. Watching this video it’s like something a bunch of 12 year olds would snicker at.

If 21CB didn’t exist, since 2007. And I’m a fan of the trilogy and RevRad.

Jrem Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I like it to be honest. Got it stuck in my head now

龑美優 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Listening to this, I really do not understand the hate for the song. It is pretty standard GD stuff.

Yeah. Can’t blame Crush. This sounds like a song they wrote in under five minutes Definitely. I’d say since 21Cb Yeah and I’m fine with them releasing it for NHL, but I don’t know, why you’d put resources into promoting a b-side as a single when you’ve released a network album with so many actually good songs.

pacejunkie punk Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Okay listened again with headphones and that sniff goes from left to right like someone is doing a line.

pacejunkie punk Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Seriously any more coke references with this band and I’m gonna interpret it as a cry for help. It’s not cool or edgy at nearly 50 it’s just sad.

emenius Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah....very disappointing. I actually think the video is the most fun thing about this release. Can’t imagine I’ll listen to this again unless it ends up on an album in the future (really hoping that’s not the case). I’m a big fan of FOAM, which I think is super fun and experimental in places in a good way. I’d put money on all the FOAM detractors positively re-evaluating that album after a bit of time. I wish they’d saved some of the more interesting Billie songs from MM2020 Pt 2 for Green Day and released a shorter album by The Network focusing on Mike’s songs which I thought were really strong on that album and more representative of The Network for me.

KGLWW Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 This is probably to be expected with it being about a year since father of all. They usually wait 3 or 4 years. Just hope they wait longer to release a full album
GuitarPunk94 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 well, i will just ignore the music video but the song itself is far from anything i would call "green day quality", may it rest in peace as a "song i will probably skip and never listen to again" its kinda sad, they are outstanding musicians and thats not what they are capable of here is hope for 'better' music in the future
