Except some Instagram posts, still nothing new.

More active on social media this week tho that's good sign.

I really hope they tie in an album/single announcement with this Rock Roll Repeat thing, which launches tomorrow!!!

Someone in the green day discord page mentioned the increase in social media activity today could be a way to boost up their presence prior to an announcement.

What do you think are the chances of them giving us a single announcement with this Rock Roll Repeat thing?

[Insomniac1984]

I would love some mention about WOODSTOCK 1994... 😔

Either way Crush Management sucks wish Green Day would drop Crush Management

i got a good feeling about an announcement soon-ish 🤞

My take on everything that's happening right now, is Green Day are heavily leaning into nostalgia at the moment. 

It started with the Nimrod re-release, and then we got the announcement of the seemingly Kerplunk themed collaboration with Rock, Roll, Repeat. Then we got the video of the 1991 gig, followed by the video of a previous tour. 

We've seen the band use 1972, seemingly as a tease for the next album- and I wonder if the whole album will be a reflection of their lives and careers so far? The band has had one hell of a rocky road from the highs of Dookie, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, to the lows of Warning (even though I personally love the album) and Billie Joe's on stage breakdown during the trilogy. 

I'm starting to wonder if this will be a much more retrospective record for the band, which is why they're seemingly putting so much time, energy and care into it. I wouldn't even be surprised if there's one song where John Kiffmeyer comes back to drum. 

I personally would love to see an autobiographical concept album covering their lives together- starting with 1972. There's a part of me that believes this may be their final album, and they'll be content with this being their magnum opus (for the inglorious kind or otherwise), and I think it could easily be self-titled. We've seen they're not shy about coming to festivals as a 'Greatest Hits' band, and that's absolutely fine if that's their choice.

Would I love more new Green Day content after this album? Of course I would. Would I rather they ended on a high than churn out more FOAMs? Every single day. Leave the fans wanting more- for a little while at least. 

Just a disclaimer, I have no insider knowledge, this is all purely my opinion based on what I've seen publicly.

We need to stop giving a shit about this Leakedad account. 
It's 100% not legit and so obvious.

I don’t even want to think about that!!! And I think Billie once said that the only way Green Day will end is when he’s dead and buried

I was searching about the timeframe of Crush Management's last releases

Miley Cyrus and Fall out Boy dropped the first single and after 2 months (and some days) dropped the album. So this "information" may came from that.

I don't think this is GD's final album. However I strongly believe this will be their best since AI. Although times have changed and although its not so important, this brilliant new album will bring them at least a grammy nomination too. Watching the teasers once again I truly have a feeling that it will be one of the best and most loved in their discography.

So maybe an album after death but before burial? Lol. I know the situation with Linkin Park is strange.  They won't do anything, but they won't break up officially. There is complete radio silence from the guys except for Shinoda, who is active in peddling Link Park merch.   I don't know if that's good or bad.  It's rough to think about Mike and Tre doing that one day.

Are Green Day breaking up?  I don't think so.  I think as time goes by, they may have longer gaps between albums as older bands do.  But I think we will have at least 19 albums by the guys.

Nobody can change my mind until I listen the album in full;)

[DookieLukie]

I think the best thing mentally is just going back to “no album coming out” mode as a fan.

Solstice summer is June 21st so I'll keep an eye on this date.

The new FOB lead single came in a Wednesday just like June 21 👀

[Christian's Inferno!]

Wednesday has the word "day" in it so maybe we'll get something today 👀
