Big Neil Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I hope something happens soon. Something real. 313 pages of speculation with basically no real news or social media posts or teases in ages is frustrating. I keep checking this page with high hopes for intelligent insight, a new tease or news of posts from the band. Maybe I missed something in between all the pages of joke posts but I don’t think so. Green Day fans will talk about garbage for 2 years and 313 pages of nothing. I feel like the band stopped caring about their loyal fans but who knows what’s really happening behind the scenes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. What's the punchline? Is it a natural disaster sung by the unemployed? We should probably fight fire with a riot. The class war is hanging on a wire. Because the martyr is a compulsive liar when he said....I forget what he said, but it sucked. I think Green Day care, but it's just unclear what they are doing and it's frustrating. Would complete silence be better than the teases? Probably. I'd prefer the band talking about the album and telling us about it rather than these snippets. It still hasn't been a long wait between albums just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on Jan 10, @pacejunkie punk posted an update from greenday.fm. Quote "New info from a close band source: despite the 1972 name teases, album 14 does not have a title yet and they are still “in the middle” of working on the new record." This is a positive step I think, as the last main tease was Aug 16. I appreciate the wait is frustrating a real drag. I've had this eleven times since Kerplunk. It's always been worth the wait, and I've never been disappointed. The next one is gonna be a cracker. Hang in there and stay positive. Get ready coz in a while just imagine, this topic will be in meltdown. The album release will be announced, its title, number of tracks, the first single release. Then news of tour dates and venues. When will tickets be available. Holy shit, have a got any money. Where can I rob, sorry, cadge some dosh. I think it's time to get excited. 😜 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would rather nothing than the “teases” we got. Super frustrating! Green Day fans have been spoiled and I feel like I want to have a tantrum over the way this new album and the promo has been rolled out. Or maybe not care at all. I guess I don’t care. The band doesn’t care. Fans shouldn’t care. But then what’s the point? I want new music. But not Here Comes the Shock or Pollyanna. I thought those songs were not Green Day level good. They can go the way of FOAM and never be on a setlist. I hope the new album goes in the direction of Holy Toledo if any of those songs are any indication of new Green Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PluckyJokerhead Posted February 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm just glad it seems like what we've gotten so far has just been the band teasing a record they're excited about - it's not forced promotion from some record label/management company etc., just the band being themselves. Which may end in a lot of mystery but at least we haven't been told there won't be any trap beats (yet). 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Green Day to wake us all up with a new side project in The Network. Money Money 2020 is amazing. Still, we had a few titbits to keep us going. The 'Tune In Tokyo' live ep was awesome for me being so into GD live. There was of course, International Superhits CD/DVD with two new songs - Poprocks & Coke and Maria, and Shenanigans. And Crickets cover 'I Fought The Law. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t even know if Green Day was still a band at certain points, it wasn’t until The Network that things got interesting. Unfortunately, I hadn't discovered Green Day until my early teens when American Idiot came out, but it was during that discovery period (with the help of international superhits) that I discovered I actually knew quite a few of their older songs too, I just didn't know who they were by until then. Back to what you were saying though, the wait for me between AI and 21CB felt fucking huge. It wasn't really helping that it felt like pretty much every single day I was on the internet speculating and looking for info on the next record, as I was for many other things I was interested in too. These days, 4 and a half years feels like a couple of weeks to me since I'm pretty good at keeping myself distracted with other things... but the downside to that is life seems to be flying by faster and faster every day. Looking back and reflecting on that time period now, I really wish I just spent more time living in the moment than being too excited for things that hadn't happened yet. Okay rant time! Can you believe I just fucking turned 32? How depressing is that? I don't really look it (according to most people that guess I am in my early 20s) or feel it (except now that I think of it, my back is kind of fucked). But damn, Billie Joe was 32 when American Idiot came out. Still can't believe he's already in his 50s. Next thing I know, I'm gonna be in my 50s and he's going to be in his 70s. What the hell? 3 hours ago, PluckyJokerhead said: I'm just glad it seems like what we've gotten so far has just been the band teasing a record they're excited about - it's not forced promotion from some record label/management company etc., just the band being themselves. Which may end in a lot of mystery but at least we haven't been told there won't be any trap beats (yet). Yes! 101 fucking percent! I imagine part of the record label re-sign process probably had quite a few requests that the band members had, less strict deadlines likely being one of them. The impatient see this as a negative, but to me I see it as a huge positive. Again, I'd rather wait for the boys to announce and release something that they really care about than something they were forced to finish in a strict deadline so the record label could do their thing. If that happened to me, I wouldn't be able to cope and the material would ultimately suffer for it. Screw that. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PleasedToMeetMe Posted February 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2023 If I remember correctly they released American Idiot and Letterbomb before the album so I’m sure you can imagine how awesome it was to hear those for the first time. I think everyone was really nervous about the “rock opera” thing, nobody really knew what to expect and definitely didn’t see it becoming the massive success it went on to become 👍 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. They should try that again tbh. Release a single, then the album, and then determine which song should be the next single by which song is getting the most either streams or radio play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on which country you live in. The pre-album single I have is AI with Favorite Son. 2 months after album was a twin single release of BoBD, in two different colours and the cover figure pointing two different directions. One had Letterbomb live, the other She's A Rebel live. Then I've got two more AI singles issued Nov 04, one with Too Much Too Soon and the other with Shoplifter and Governator. Then came singles Holiday, WMUWSE 2 versions again with BJ in two different directions, then JOS, all with additional live songs. 1 hour ago, senti jamir said: What's the point of releasing singles after an album is out ? Sorry i am not an expert on these things AI had 1 pre-album single and 8 post. For me it's the live tracks and the cover artwork. I'm a sucker for both, just got to have them. 82 in total I think.

Sorry i am not an expert on these things American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown were released when there was no streaming service. At least not commercially successfull. Singles keep the album alive. Most listeners don't know when an album comes out. And with singles you can get attention and more potential buyers for the album. But since streaming is so powerful things have changed a lot. 2 minutes ago, pcj said: I suppose it depends on which country you live in.

With the B-sides on each single you attract more listeners to buying singles, that they can get more music for the money. And since streaming this got quite obsolete, because you don't have to buy a CD anymore to listen to one track of a whole album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, PleasedToMeetMe is correct. Letterbomb wasn’t released as a single but it was released to radio not longer after the American Idiot single came out. So the first two things to be heard from the record were them two songs, then the record was released. Remember it VERY clearly. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
