NEW Green Day Song "Holy Toledo!" out Friday (5th Nov)

[GDFan2019]

I wonder how many more one-off singles we’ll get before the next album

[Virtuous Xman]

To me the music and tempo reminds me of stray heart.  However the lyrics remind me of FOMF.  And that's okay. My only gripe with that album was it was just too short.  Adding these three tracks or four more tracks would have definitely had me liking it more so.

They aren't owned by Warner, they partnered with them on the Crush Music label.

They actually own Crush Music Label they bought them out right in 2019… at least that’s what I was told

Plus the opening piano chord sounds like Last Night on Earth and The Forgotten

... Catchy, but I can't understand anything he's saying. Why does the mix sound so weird?

This!

 

Really like the song and how much they packed into it in such a short time.

As someone who grew up in Toledo, Ohio...I feel validated by this song. (Even though, "Holy Toledo!" is probably a reference to Oakland A's broadcaster Bill King)

Don't ruin this for us! 😄 This was obviously written after a night of debauchery on Adams Street. If only we'd elected Opal, we'd have that theme park and they would've had such a great time that they'd actually mention our name in the lyrics 😄

The song sounds like if stray heart was released on the foxboro hottubs album. I like it! Very interesting song i love the upbeat feel it and pollyanna have had

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

I'm getting a bit of a Meet Me on the Roof vibe first listen (and yeah Stray Heart too) 

From Kevin 

Quite like it but need to listen to it again. First listen wasn't so keen on the bit where it slows down (a bit like the parts in Graffitia where it does that)

I love the Foxboro Hot Tubs sound! So happy this song is lightyears ahead of HCTS. Still not a huge fan of Butch Walker's choices in editing and mixing, but it's a good song nonetheless.

Feels similar to bottle rockets. People swear they sing about them all the time, but it's also only 3 songs (Carpe Diem, Wow! That's Loud, and Outlaws).

That's it!

We've figured out the next album title will be "Bottle Rockets & Razor Blades!“ and will be the first in a new trilogy of " _____ & _____!" albums that ends with the long awaited "Cigarettes & Valentines!" 

The only mystery now would be what the 2nd album's title will be... bonus points for whoever can figure it out. 

Edit: Cracked the code! 

Album 1: Rainy Days & Razor Blades! 
Album 2: Bottle Rockets & Bratwurst! 
Album 3: Cigarettes & Valentines! 

I'll be taking my bonus points now kthx.

just got done listening to it and... it's SO GOOD, one of favorites out of the singles.

[greenalert997x]

I like the instruments are really loud. The guitars aren't drowned somewhere behind the vocal. 

[SumDay]

Green Day was my first favourite band. They got me into Rock, made me pick up the guitar and dive into music theory. I was obsessed, watched Jaded in Chicago 1994 everyday after school. The Trilogy were the first records whose releases I experienced live as a fan. Over the time, I discovered new bands, got into different genres etc. Their newer projects always got my attention, but I never really felt the same spark. Sometime last year I finally realised / admitted to myself, that I can't say I really like any project as a whole after Breakdown. There were very good songs, but every project was (harshly said) a disappointment to me. But this song right here, it's so good. Longshot felt like a warm up (and thus disappointing), but Holy Toledo feels complete.  It has this confidence, this 'we know we're good bitch' vibe older releases had to me. They never dropped this attitude, it's a key factor why their live performances still rock. But they finally managed to put it back into their music. I don't remember being so happy about a new song in a long time.

You guys talk about Razorblades and bottle rockets, but SHOOTING STARS is a way more recurrent word in songs

[petros]

"Party favors/ Sex with strangers/ We don't care what the neighbors say"

It's funny how Billie Joe being a horny teenager was writing songs like One of my lies and now that he's a 49 years old man is writing shit like this.

I think it's just generally about partying and one night stands... That's actually one of his recurring topics.

Which is kinda weird if you think about it, because I'm pretty sure he's not one night stand kinda guy. You know, being married most of his life and stuff...

In general you have reason, the BJ's recent lyrics is a kinda meh, but this song maybe was written to fit in the movie theme.

I still say the song may well have been written specifically for this movie, but is one just supposed to stop being horny at 49? 🙄

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I'm trying to upload the small scene in the movie where we can hear the song but damn fuck Youtube is killing me

Crush Music is owned by Warner 

Rev Rad has multiple songs where they mention the song title 

That what I meant, Rev Rad and Tre are the only albums where the songs all have the title in the lyrics.
