Oh what if „7 2“ on the guitar means that the album will be released on July 2nd?

I’m going to barf waiting that long.

I think it’s coming sooner than later.

Hopefully that means we’ll get a single even sooner!!!

I hope that whenever the thing is released they then follow up the European tour with a proper US arena tour for the new material.

I hope they are able to do a small club tour to warm up like they did for Rev Rad.

Ideally I’d love to see the creative process unfold like it did for the Trilogy but that’s a big wish.

Hopefully something like the small club tour before American Idiot or Rev Rad would be something that might happen to prepare for a proper arena tour for the new material… after the Hella Mega Hits tour… hopefully they’re earning new fans that will explore the vast back catalog so they can be an insane new group of fans to add to the Green Day community. Usually once a fan discovers the magic of Green Day it’s all over for them. So much to discover and so much to look forward to.

Watch all this hype happens and then its just Billie informing us he has cancer.

Gawd this joke sucked. I have no idea why it got attention.

 

Jezz I hope its not in July, thread is starting to give me nightmares

While I'm all about the Trilogy, and love thinking about which albums the next one will harken back too, I think we are wrong.  

As always, lol.

Every album sounds different than previous ones and we really don't have much to analyze.  These instrumentals tell us nothing.  They could be intros, solos, outros and in no way convey the actual song. 

From what we hear though, I hope Billie does more of a raw, screamie vocal style.  I know that's been on our wishlist for a while, but it would fit with these riffs.

Happy guitars and F-ed up lyrics.  That's why we came.  The rest of the music could be circus clowns blowing old rusted tubas and it wouldn't matter.

Also, the title isn't a year.........

I can’t believe the care that little about a release where they would put it out mid tour in Europe

Green Day - Gull Wing Industries 

[greenalert997x]

Sounds so simple 😴 4/4, just descending melody, just bends A#-G-D, intervals: minor third and fourth... and here we go again, total cliché

There's no simpler stuff in rock, it's so overused. Why they don't even try to embellish the sequence a little bit. They could use some shoegaze chords just once, would be more interesting to me. A teaser is supposed to tease, but actually, it doesn't.

Fine example: Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins, sounds simple, powerful, and mysterious at the same time. Green Day could do it with punk.

Let's hold out hope there will be at least one wacky sonic experimentation.  

Most of the album will probably be fast songs about being sad and the world being bad, but one song with shoegaze passages put through a buzz saw cannon and layered with a trippy Billie Joe croon.   Yeah! oh!

[Red Lights Flash]

I kinda agree that the teaser sounds as if a neural network spat out a Green Day song, so it doesn’t get me particularly excited. Doesn’t mean that it can’t be a great song though. I’m really glad new music is coming!

This your first time listening to this band bro? 😆

[pacejunkie punk]

Billie always manages to take a simple musical idea and give it an interesting spin.  His songs are rarely cookie cutter in structure I have faith in his abilities. 

[MillenniumFan]

Maybe I’m going mad (I think it’s pretty clear that Green Day are not the kind of band to do elaborate teasers), BUT why couldn’t they be hinting at a July release date with 1972 (besides the year reference)? True, it seems rather unlikely to set a release date this early and there’s a million other reasons as to why it wouldn’t make much sense. That said, given 1) how drawn out many release schedules these days are and 2) that a July release date would steer clear of (most of) the Hella Mega tour dates, I feel like it’s at least a possibility. 

 

But then if I’m quite honest, I don’t really know what to believe anymore, so an announcement of any kind would be cool at this point.

Green Day hanging out with Rob Cavallo!

This was at Billie's 50th birthday party, so probably just friends. But wouldn't it be amazing if he's producing 1972..

I thought it was pretty much confirmed to be Butch?

Hey there's still a glimmer of hope 😅

Safe assumption that it’s Butch/just GD

[That Dude]

I hope they don't make 1972 so exclusive that we can't listen to it.  I know I said they should release it as a car and all, but I'm sitting here all sad and in the dark because I can't review Donda 2. 

Green Day, please don't release the music in car form.  Also, I need 200 dollars for....something unrelated to stemplayers.

Hmmm.  What if Green Day are on Donda 2, guys?

1972 will be an NFT and only Bezos will own it

I hope the teases have lyrics/vocals at some point. There haven’t been any yet?

The only vocal we have from this is in the first teaser. “WOAHHHHH WOAHHHHHHH!!!”

I kinda like them not having lyrics, makes it more of a real tease and ambiguous
