Kerrang Magazine Interview 30 November

[That Dude]

Blowing people up in order to play an audible?   Do it.   Father of all is great.  Billie loves it.  Hoorah.

I guess we'll never know why they teased #1972 for so long

The first interviewer to ask them about 1972 goes straight into the hall of fame.

The lyrics they qouted are trash

Great interview, but nothing new except that Billie putted nipple tassels on and shaked it

And is it really new? Because that just seemed like something that was a forgone conclusion, like, yeah, that's something I assumed already happened hundreds of times 😄

[devilskind92]

Great interview. Love their mindset, love their excitement, love what they shared about songs we haven't heard yet... Can't wait for this album to come out!

the first ever frames from the first ever 1972 teaser are (presumably) footage of this event

Plus we see both Billie and Tre in the first 15 seconds here.

LOL @Montclare I was reading that section thinking “uhh, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the nipple tassels they’re talking about somehow?” 

[Killjoy From Detroit]

perhaps instead of the picture used on the album cover they should have used the picture from Warning but all three of them are photoshopped to be shirtless and wearing nipple tassels

Barely any new info. Funny Billie loves FOAM so much.

That’s because foam is awesome and all the haters don’t know what they’re talking about 😂

[devilskind92]

FOAM is pretty fun. They should be proud of it. Experimenting is great and it turned out to be a good album, just not what we wanted after RevRad. Now with Saviors it seems we're getting just that.

I’d buy that…😂😂

[Clockwise]

Really looking forward to Coma City and Dilemma now.

Have any UK peeps seen this mag in Tesco? I’m not sure if they sell it there anymore, it’s been years since I bought a copy of Kerrang! 

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

So I guess this means I can't say I dislike blonde Billie anymore? I'm not sure what it is this time around, but those photos look great! 🤩

Not found it yet. I think it’ll be in bigger supermarkets and WH Smith. They had an older edition in HMV in Edinburgh yesterday, so assume it’ll be available there soon if you have one near you.

[jengd]

My copy of Kerrang finally arrived.  The cover is very beautiful.  😍😄

[RedundantIdiot]

Just a heads-up to say that we obtained a copy of the magazine from WHSmiths. 

[DeJennsitized]

Found it in WHSmith too! If anyone’s after a copy, let me know!

Great interview, love to hear them happy, excited and fired up.  Hearing about the “brilliant album” and “fantastic tracks” is very exciting.  Can’t wait to hear it all.  
 

I predict in 10 years or so, you Foam haters will be sounding like so many people about Warning or Nimrod. 

Now those are photos we want him to share 😂😂

I dont think so. Time isn’t going to change FOAM. Warning is a significantly better record. At the time it wasn’t that poorly received it just didn’t sell as well as the other records.

I’m not saying the reviews were glowing but if you check even the few above, the reviews were not nearly as bad as people seem to remember them being. I just think it’s largely misunderstood.
