1972 project speculation thread

[cav9mm]

Anybody else think that the delay is actually a very good omen.

 

Seems like they want to make sure it’s perfect and something they are happy with as opposed to getting something released early to keep fans happy. 
 

I’m glad the tail isn’t wagging the dog .

It could be good, bad or neutral. Whenever a movie gets delayed, it's usually seen as a sign the movie will be bad, and they rewrote and reshot it in a desperate attempt to salvage it.  

The worst scenario is if they are struggling to make decent songs.

The best scenario is like you say, they wrote good songs and now they are making sure it's good.

But there is also another factor.  You can stay with a piece of art too long and get bogged down, making it worse rather than better.  Or get tired of listening to it.

Or maybe they are listening over and over again to see the longevity and timelessness of the material.

So many variables.

Alternate viewpoint:

 

Green Day has never existed and we’re all institutionalized and hallucinating each other and the band.

CLA just posted a photo of a whole bunch of Oakland Coffee swag. A thank you for finishing the mix on the new album perhaps?

Just posted it in the Instagram thread 

Maybe thanks for the cool guitar he gifted Billie?

All I wanted was a Pepsi.

And she wouldn't give it to me.

Maybe we're gonna need a subscription through the oakland coffee store to have access to 1972 🥲

I hope not. Suppose there could be a limited vinyl of it with a subscription? 

Or at least a vinyl 7"?

Green Day, forcing people to buy coffee since 1972

We are all desperate for news that a simple gift could open a whole new speculation 😄😆

I mean, I don’t think they would’ve done this just for giving Billie a guitar. An Oakland Coffee gift basket as a thanks for mixing the record is entirely plausible.

A nonrefundable lifetime subscription will get you early access to the new album...with definite delays, which will have you forcibly NOT hearing the album until much later than everyone else on the planet.  😄 

It locks you out of streaming it and even purchasing the physical versions, because you get that special, secret, ultra remixed version of....

Ready, Fire, Aim.  Featuring R. Kelly.

Billie said that guitar is a 1956 Les Paul. That guitar is definitely worth more than however much CLA got paid to mix their new album

I don’t think that’s true

Unless CLA only gets paid 10 grand for mixing the album I’d be inclined to agree

We havent been teased since January and my hype has remained high. it's like an abusive relationship at this point.

I feel like this is for a reason too - I have a feeling the next time we hear something it'll be an offical announcement. No more teasing 🤔

It looks like 10 grand seems to be the average price for some of them, but the black version with the "staple" neck pickup is pretty rare

A shout out to Little Boy Named Booze for absolutely no reason, 😆 

These YouTubers are clowns, man.

That was the best shoutout I've ever received.
This Pornhub Green Day font is excellent.

One of the first things that comes up for "Green day logos", I knew it was the correct choice.

And I have never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever heard of whatever website your talking about.  Is that a site?  I don't know.

Please, someone has to see the gross irony of that track with an R. Kelly guest spot. Even worse idea than the APC tribute!

I was thinking of the controversy about Oh Yeah, and how they could top it.    Is it artistic, bad taste, both or neither?

I'm pretty sure the new album with be written entirely by the three guys.  Hopefully they will avoid giving credit to other bands as we'll this time.

Maybe 1972 is how many days we were going to have to wait from the first hint. 🤷🏻‍♂️
