Katarina. Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 So.. it's out? Lol, I totally forgot about this! I only remembered the release date of 21 Guns with the AI cast, which is today.
Juliette Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 So.. it's out? Lol, I totally forgot about this! I only remembered the release date of 21 Guns with the AI cast, which is today. I didn't even know you could buy singles in shops anymore.
Nova-Caine Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 The advertising and marketing campaign for 21st CB the album and all singles has been completely none existent in the UK, I really don't know what the hell has happened but we have had no firm dates or any real commercial activity from Warner UK, its almost like they really can't be arsed. Considering we totally sold out the UK tour for the band you think they'd have got the gist that we actually give a stuff in this Country and pulled their fingers out.Something needs sorting out, somebody is not doing something right. It really is both disappointing and upsetting tbh :/
farley drexel hatcher Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I agree totally. We had KYE with one b-side in the UK and hardly any airplay, 21 Guns with an old B-side and hardly any promotion, EJN with nothing and god only knows what's happened to 21CB. The thing is they must know what they're doing, they obviously just don't care. The album itself has rubbish promotion and so did the tour, yet the tour sold out brought the album back into the charts. You think they'd take a hint. We either get CD singles with nothing worth buying on them, or nothing at all.

We either get CD singles with nothing worth buying on them, or nothing at all.Yeah, I totally agree. Some days ago, I went to the Warner Italy website and I discovered that 21stCB has been on radio stations since October 5th! What??? I've never heard it, and digital downloads started on the 16th of October! Why the hell can't they promote the album with a single that is released AT THE SAME TIME all over the world?? How can people buy the album? I can't understand it. If we go on the iTunes of some countries in the world, we discover that every country has a different release date for the single...I'm really disappointed
Smoothed Out Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 It's all the 21s right, 21st Century Breakdown, 21 Guns, 21st December, 21 pieces of artwork in the Shoreditch Collection
Fuzz Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I don't think promotion here in the US has been that great either. It seems like they're just not reaching the people they used to with it. KYE was not a good single, but then again, I didn't think American idiot was either. 21 Guns didn't get the attention I thought it would.And i'm still waiting for an official video of EJN, i really feel if they used that song to promote the album, it'd really pick things up.
purple helix Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I wonder if the band know, or actually care? Mmm. I don't imagine they care all that much. Can't imagine Billie phoning up Warner marketing dept and giving them hell for not promoting their single enough. I can see him taking the attitude that they have made the best music they can make, and either people buy it or they don't.I don't get the logic, in this day and age, of trying to release a single at different times in different countries. Anyone know the reason for this?

Salmonator. Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Yes you are correct.... the "live" video of EJN is THE official video :down:That song would have made such an epic music video.

KYE was a chart success, tho personally i don't think it did tht well. I don't listen to a huge amount of radio tho, most music channels, they played 21CB video a lot when it came out and generally play a good amount of green day, even tho it's a bit partial to indie music.
HoneyDo666 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Can't wait for the 21 Guns music video with the cast of AI! It's going to be great!
Soroush Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Can't wait for the 21 Guns music video with the cast of AI! It's going to be great!R they gonna make one for that?
Nova-Caine Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 R they gonna make one for that?I think there was talk that the recording was filmed, I haven't been online a lot lately so not sure if it was confirmed it would be released as an actual video or people are just hoping/assuming
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ^ It was said at greenday.com that they were filming a video, but I don't think we've heard anything about it since.
Nova-Caine Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ^ It was said at greenday.com that they were filming a video, but I don't think we've heard anything about it since.It also said 21 Guns American Idiot the Musical version would be available to download everywhere.....
Psycho Britney Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I'm totally confused (nothing new there) but did EJN actually get a physical release in the UK, and is 21stCB properly released now as a single?

Psycho Britney Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ^Oh ok. Thank you! These 'releases' are so muddled and unorganised. Have they not heard of promotion-the general idea is to let people know when stuff is out so they can buy it! :/
Rosie May Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Whatever happened to the EJN single? I though UK and Us got that but I haven't heard anything about it in ages, are we getting 21CB now? *confused*
