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

Assuming it is Rob, why would they post a teaser for the album that includes him unless it's to suggest that he is working on the album. I mean, I suppose it's possible that it's for the purpose of trolling us (as they've been known to do). Also what are the odds that Rob just happened to be in London while the band were there recording their new album?

Your logic is sound 👌

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.

Don't forget Rob was at Billie's 50th

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.

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.

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

Did we ever find out what ''Songs for assholes'' was even about? I only remember that private IG account that all GD members followed.

That's all it was.  Just a private account for them to share things with each other during the FOAM recording process

Surely, someone on this site who has connections with the band has to have an idea of what it was, right? Although it only has 15 followers!!!

What a time 😂 literally most of us thought this was the album cover. Well, what the band gave us wasn't far from this one 😅
