Tiffx Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 21CB might not be 'quirky' but I think it's definitely epic and gives a real insight into what a lyrical genius Billie is. Where as songs like Know Your Enemy and 21 Guns didn't really. 21CB is such a great big anthem rock song which is why I love it so much.
Sarahnade. Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I also think every song could be a single. I've lately been invisioning 'See the Light' as one. I just listened to 21CB again, and I'm liking this idea more and more.
SlappyDJ1 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Lol, Oakland with niggas popping up in the background. "Where the crack at dawg?"

Although its not one of my favourites it is an amazing song. The thing that's really irritating me is they've decided to release 3 of my 4 least favourite songs on the album , even though I do love all of them. They just need to release See The Light next and they'll have the full set.

But personally i don't see it as a song that would chart well, like JoS. Hopefully i'm wrong, since it's one of my favourites on the album. Still wondering whether H&H has a chance of being released.
Bailey. Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 This is going to be so epic.I wasnt EJN and TSA to be the next singles after 21CB

They don't even play it live so doesn't look like a future single to me.
Greenday_Aussie Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hmm I still think literally any other song on the album would have been a more exciting choice. I don't know, there's a...theatrical maybe, element to this album that I love. I just don't get that from this collection of 3 singles. Sure 21st CB has 3 parts and is an epic song, but there's a kind of sexy, vaudeville feeling to a lot of the album that I don't get from it. I was really looking forward to that side coming out with EJN. It's really a wonderfully quirky album, but none of these songs represent that quirkiness for me. If I'd only heard the singles I'd think it was very serious - which it is of course, but the humour and quirkiness that comes with that seriousness on the album is under-represented by these songs.Well, I think Waiting and 21 Guns are among Green Day's dullest videos. And I hate the idea that part of the reason for them not going with EJN could be to do with the label being too chicken to release it. And I think 21st CB isn't going to do very well when it's released. But they can redeem themselves for me if they make Drama Queen a b-side I can actually see it being the Bside to Breakdown. It makes sence. A really poppy song, and a acoustic Bside. Maybe thats why it wasnt on 21 Guns? 2 soft/acoustic songs dont really work?
Clockwise Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I can actually see it being the Bside to Breakdown. It makes sence. A really poppy song, and a acoustic Bside. Maybe thats why it wasnt on 21 Guns? 2 soft/acoustic songs dont really work?I'd love to hear the studio version of Drama Queen! We can only hope!
Jessayy Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I dont know how this is going to do as an overall single.... like, i think EJN would have been better for publicity and stuff....dont get me wrong though, i love 21CB..
marco_graz Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Wooow!! Great News!! 21CB is my favourite song and I'm very Happy!!
Raychul Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I think 21stCB will be a good single. I hope Marc Webb can pull off the video. Here's hopin'.
Alex. Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 i still say that RHS or static age would be a better single than ejn.I wanted these two songs to be singles as soon as I heard them. Won't happen though I feel.
HoneyDo666 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 21CB is a very catchy, uptempo rocker with powerful lyrics!I think it's a wonderful single choice, it further establishes them as awesome!
emmaILGD! Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that . I think it's a good single choice though.
The Disappearing Boy Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I wanted these two songs to be singles as soon as I heard them. Won't happen though I feel.yeah, but we can still dream
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Still wondering whether H&H has a chance of being released.That would be epic! . And radio here doesn't censor : D I don't think it's a big chance, though.
Hermione Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 ^I'd love that too, and I don't see why not really. Plenty of songs with swearing get released all the time, it wouldn't matter if 'fucking' was bleeped out at all because it'd still be really obvious what was being said. Didn't Tre even say H&H was his favourite song on the album? H&H would be a great choice. Except whoever's in charge of choosing Green Day's singles and promoting the band seems determined to make them look as safe and tame a band as possible these days...
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 ^ Yeah, but H&H just doesn't really seem like a song that'd be released as a single.Then again, I also didn't expect 21CB to become a single.
Metanoia Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 i actually thought it would be east jesus nowhere the next single.but i totally love 21st century breakdown <3 i'm sure it'll be an AMAZING video ! <3
BuriedInAHole Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I'm so happy that it's 21st Century Breakdown..now we can guess the next single
Maddy. Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 YE...YE...YEEEESSSS... :woot:Yeah, me too!! I wonder what kind of video they'll do for it...
