This AND the combination of a man whose hair color is the same as Doug McKeans make it a bit more likely Expand Yeah, the assumption didn't just come from the fact that there's a picture of the back of a bald guy's head. I mean, it's the same scar of the same shape on the same position of the head on a bald guy with glasses. Obviously that's not to say that's it's a confirmed thing, but what are the odds that Green Day is going to work with 2 different guys who look the exact same from behind On 3/24/2022 at 9:58 PM, jengd said: Don’t want to be a downer but even if we knew definitely it was Rob, without confirmation he is producing we are still making assumptions.

Also what are the odds that Rob just happened to be in London while the band were there recording their new album? Expand There are so many possibilities! They may have uploaded the pic then realised Rob was in it and thought “shit, that’ll set hares running” (we know these guys, they would think that was hilarious) and Rob may have been in London for the last month or more. He may have called and said, “hey guys, Abbey Road had a cancellation cos (insert random artist name) got Covid, do you want to book the space for a few days final…….” whatever it is they may want to do. My point is, we are still making assumptions so don’t be disappointed if it turns out it’s not Rob or he’s not producing. 3

He could just be in London and dropped in for an hour. Just be glad there is something coming and stay calm people! 😘😘 Expand What scares me slightly is that while GDC may have been trusted to work out that it's Rob Cavallo (going from all available evidence), I can't see how the average casual fan would realise this. Seeing the rumour hasn't hit the press either, the (potentially wrongful) excitement could be purely confined to GDC. On the other hand, while I'd never choose to call it ill-intentioned, I do think taking a picture in the studio with someone who plausibly could be Rob Cavallo just to prank us seems rather weird and doesn't quite sit right with me. Not to mention that Rob would have to be in on it too (which he may well be, I'm not excluding any possibilities). Once again, being cautious after MOOTIK is perfectly reasonable, however, those were fake teasers and leaks getting us all excited and hyped up about a fake album. These are official teasers and thus, even if the band does not realise what they're doing and have no strategy whatsoever (which is possible), these teasers inevitably carry more weight, whether they want them to or not. 7

Expand This is why their current marketing strategy confuses me. To give little hints to fans one year before the album release is one thing, but to make official announcement videos on social media that also big news platforms write about it and then don‘t release anything for such a long time is something different😅 maybe their plans for an EP indeed changed and now they want to record a full album. 1

Expand The thing about the whole MOOTIK situation is that something was happening there. It's not like we were just pulling this stuff from our asses. Additionally, there have been occasions where we think something is fake that ends up being legit. Most notable example of this is the RevRad tracklist leak. Everyone thought it was fake because several of the song titles were previously used lyrics in prior songs. Also, the first time I saw the FOAMF cover, I thought it was someone on GDC who made a joke album cover 4

Popular Post dudley dawson Posted March 25, 2022 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2022 I think the most fun/insane thing I’ve seen happen on this forum was when some account that hadn’t logged on since 2004 or something posted in the RevRad speculation thread with just the word “Monday” (or some other day of the week) and we all thought it was someone from the band until their “intel” was proven wrong and they were like no I’m just some random fan 😂😂😂 6
