So basically this "recording the album twice" talk is just them recording demos? They do that for every album, don't they?

Usually demos aren’t recorded perfectly though and are just a ton of rough ideas, and they recorded AI in order as if it was going to be the actual album with Chris dugan

I think this guy is on to something here!!!

Just a theory

His theory says that the first 1972 single could be out in October

His next tweet was
To be fair i have not taken my bipolar meds in almost a week. I could be very wrong about Green Day. But idk bc its all adding up.

He's tweeting every hour about anything.

Yeah but why? What evidence?

He even said Billie replied to his story on Instagram about this theory with a thinking emoji.
But no proof.

His evidence is wishful thinking. "If I say something enough times, I'm bound to be right eventually" is what he's thinking

[pacejunkie punk]

He’s starting from the presumption that a single will be out in October and using that as the basis for his belief that the single will be out in October. That plus the random fact that HLAHG came out in October which was a docufilm not a single or an album. Odd reasoning. The single could just as easily drop 2-3 months before any album release date and we have no idea when that will be.

Personally, I would love for him to be right because I want to hear a new song live in Austin.

Plus we got the Demolicious album from the Trilogy sessions!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these trilogy "demos" were actually recorded after the trilogy actually released. I strongly believe that the arrangements for songs like Baby Eyes and 99 Revolutions were actually vastly improved on Demolicious and having things like the bass intro and key change respectively added some much needed life, energy and realization to the songs.

They ended up using the same arrangement for 99 Revolutions on tour, which I think further adds credibility to this theory.

When it comes to concept albums, I'd be very surprised if demos didn't involve doing drafts of the entire album to make sure it flows well and fits together. I don't see how any artist could make a true masterpiece of work without having at least one draft beforehand.

What about State of Shock? The “singing out the alphabet” line was reused in Angel Blue

[HoneyEmerald]

Because I'm bored....   and someone mentioned the alphabet...

The only point on this is that ABC BaBa Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star  use the same music.

 

If Green Day wants to reuse a line that they wrote in more than one song, they are doing it for emphasis.

I think it's just a very early draft of a song that ultimately wasn't considered to be good enough for the albums and didn't make it into later stages of production.

Does anyone else notice that a lot of their albums seem tied together?

39/smooth and slappy hours turn into having to kerplunk which leaves dookie sitting there while going through insomnia making someone feel like a complete Nimrod for not heeding the Warning from their mother to clean it up....   

It's like they started out telling a whole story showing their genius. 

Perhaps the next album is going to have some historical content.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_in_the_United_States 

There is no climax to this story however, because things are constantly changing...

Yes we can look at history for queues to what has happened, but what happens when it gets mixed up?

What happens when history does not repeat itself?

Is that something they may end up seeing as worth exploring?

You heard her. Apparently all the albums connect together when you just randomly insert the album titles into some random sentence that you construct

Maybe there would be a political song about Nixon and the Watergate scandal

I think 1972 will be more about them. 

What's the point of writing a song about something that happened 50 years ago?

1972 BC, so even further back.  

It's about how phat the Assyrian empire  was.

And of course, a party record.

Although Billie did mention Nixon in 21CB, “Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell!”

That "evidence" he provided couldn't be more unrelated or irrelevant.

We do know there were some guitar overdubs done to the demos before Demolicious was released but after the trilogy albums came out. And that doesn’t even count the Otis Mixes.
