1972 project speculation thread

[That Dude]

Okay, here's my wacky idea for the film/album combo: 

The movie looks like real behind the scenes footage of Green Day struggling to top American Idiot.   In this movie, Billie Joe gets the idea to try and make a movie where present day Billlie Joe tries to live out the entire plot of American Idiot all over again, all while recording different songs during the process.   The album is ultimately a terrible abomination and we're all watching in horror as bad song after bad songs gets made.    The band falls apart.    Green Day release this really awful 1972 album and everyone hates it.....but that's a movie INSIDE of a movie, get it?  

That was all a faux documentary and Green Day have actually teased NOTHING from their next album, which is balls to the wall crazy punk rock like we've never heard before, and it comes out the day after the movie. 

One great big power ballad, unbelievably called Salute Boulevard (22 Guns)

A real band making a fake documentary about a fake album? It all sounds very Spinal Tap to me

If we get any hints that the album is coming soon, I can see them ringing in the new year with this clip

I would love the idea of that happening more than anything and to have something by then, but I know we just won’t

Even if they do happen to do new years on tv and like (they were gonna do with miley), I assume it’ll just be an older song

MOOTIK

[dreamykatie]

One of these days Gdfan is gonna post something 'oh man I feel it in my bones, an announcement is coming soon!' and we'll all go 'haha yeah right' and then 5 hours later Green Day will drop a trailer for 1972 or a single or both and then we'll all look like asses.

Still today I don't know how MOOTIK went that far. Because on the very first pages of discussion, it was pointed out the studio and the people that could be behind everything. People just choose to ignore

Of course he's going to be right one day. Saying A teaser will come soon everyday isn't hard.

I love this band more than life itself and I respect the creative process, but honestly, they're idiots for not taking advantage of the last 50th birthday in the band being on a Friday (album release day) and get the project out in the 50th anniversary of the year they're honoring. I had a longshot fantasy that I'd wake up to a surprise drop which is just silly, I know, but they're just as silly for not doing it, right?

I thought we'd at least have a single by now

[pacejunkie punk]

When they didn’t do anything special to mark Billie’s birthday, that’s when I gave up on the hope that the birthdays would mean anything in terms of releases, despite the title. I still wonder if it’s even gonna be the title now if they passed on taking advantage of their 50th birthdays. What’s the point of the title then (Other than to represent the year they made it not the year they release it)
