That Dude Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 It's too bad their Hockey deal didn't bring us more masterclass songs like Fire Ready Aim. It has come and gone. 1 3
Popular Post Billie Joes Eyelids Posted July 7, 2022 Popular Post Posted July 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Beerjeezus said: I suppose they would want to release it next spring before another summer tour. At this point I don’t care about new music from them that much. It’s mainly about the touring now. Unless they go back to playing new songs, it doesn’t really matter when the new album is coming out, but I do want to see them again. I honestly worry if they put it out too early, they will burn themselves out. The tour has to have been exhausting, and they still have a ton of dates in Sept/Oct. To go from that straight into promotion for a new album and then another tour seems like a recipe for burnout. 6

Same. I think they need a break between the tour and promotion of the next album. They’ve burned themselves out before and I wouldn’t want that to happen again… If they couldn’t handle it before, it’s probably not a good idea to try constant touring now when they’re getting older. 3

If you remember the original plans for the Hella Mega Tour before the pandemic hit, the album came out that February and they weren't scheduled to go on tour until the summer.

Yeah they might repeat this schedule if they continue focusing on touring rather than on the album.

If they continue with a Hella Mega 2 tour, so to speak, what songs do you cut in favor of 1972 songs, especially if it has 4 or 5 songs worthy of being hit singles? Maybe have Weezer and Fall Out Boy cut down their setlists?

But they had a whole month of Asia dates scheduled for March that never happened as well as Aus/NZ for the Fall. The tour should have been much bigger. But Billie looked wiped after this month I agree another tour should probably happen after a bit of a break. But I always enjoy the TV/magazine promotion time that comes with a new album. 4

jengd Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 I am in two minds. I think they loved touring again and may also be keen to ride the wave off HM which did create quite a lot of attention. I don’t think we can judge how Billie felt by one set of pics taken outside the hotel, he looks very good just a few days later. 4

I think they did enjoy being back on tour and it would make sense for them to keep the momentum, but there’s more than just that one set of pictures that makes me think it’s time for a bit of a break. 1

DearlyBeloved87 Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 So it's not called 1972 anymore? Is this just a guess or do they know more? 1
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 it means they shot a documentary. Kinda curious how candid they’re willing to go these days
