More info on New Album

[LetItBeHappy]

Ugh fuck, rock operas are lame.

how could you?

/loves the who

i predict early 2012.

and then the world will explode because Green Day didn't need 6 years for a new album

Thanks for posting the scan!

I thought they were going backwards and bringing back the older, fast and poppier music for the new album? I could have sworn I had read that somewhere

I don't really mind that they want to do another rock opera, I think the musical getting to broadway was definitely an indicator of how good American Idiot was. I guess it would just be nice to hear something new that's more pre AI sounding.

maybe they'll do a rock opera with their older and catchier sound (?)

Thanks for the scans, and as I've also said in the Q mag thread, Tubbies + Green Day sounds really nice.

This "Armstrong also declares for Green Day's next album, "We'll definately end up doing something like a Rock-opera again. we're too good at it."" though, surprises me. Here he says this, Q mag says this " There's no narrative as yet, but only time will tell if the American Idiot musical has exorcised the concept bug from the bands system. "I didn't think I was going to write a concept thing after American Idiot, but then I ended up doing 21st Century Breadkdown," says Armstrong. "the short answer is I have no idea.""

That's kinda contradicting.

is Billie... walking contradiction, but I ain't got no right

[Laura!]

i honestly think that they will play some new songs on this upcoming summer tour...they better

I thought I heard somewhere or from someone that Billie said they were going to. I could be wrong though.

I was thinking the same thing. I really don't want another rock opera though. I think it's going to be like them trying to relive American Idiot over and over again. They should just swing in a new direction like they did with Insomniac.

[musse]

Nah. I don't feel too comfortable saying what GD should do and what they shouldn't, but I'm really think another rock opera doesn't sound very good. AI was a huge success because they tried something new, a 3rd rock opera probably won't work anymore... They should go back to basics, and isn't that what BJ said they were going to do?

Oh and It's Fuck Time must be on the new album ^^

Whaat? If that's true they better play some new stuff in Helsinki...

[GDM]

am i the only one who sees Stop Drop and Roll as a disjointed rock story?

No, I get that too. Someone said to me once that it's all Biblical references throughout. I can see some of the songs (obviously Mother Mary), but I had to stop and think about that one for a bit. But yes, disjointed rock story, for sure.

And yes, I also read somewhere that a new album wouldn't come out this year, maybe not next. I would bet on 2012, maybe 2011.

[Jacob.]

I read an article saying they might play some covers like Pinball Wizard, Baba O' Riler, and Wont Get Fooled Again on their 2010 Tour

Absolutely contradictory... But journalists, y'know... I mean, they pretty good at mixing sentences or create big headlines like "Paris Hilton: her terrible accident: see page 15" and then you read "oh she lost her favorite sunglasses!" What I mean is that the people who wrote that don't have the whole true to the story but they still have to have some to write.

[The Disappearing Boy]

where did you hear that?

i think that was a foreign miss-translation of an interview. i doubt it would be true, its not something they have done in recent years, to my knowledge.

[The Grateful Green]

i would really like to hear a tubbies song on their tour. im seeing them August 3rd and 14th so i might get a chance to hear some foxboro and a new song

Oh, that could have been it. I just remember seeing it somewhere.

I'd like the next tour for my 40th Birthday please, so 2012 is wonderful

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Make it late 2012 then, then I'm 18 for the tour and I can book and buy everything without needing parental consent

[matteo263]

I already can't wait

Stop Drop and Hangranades!

FBHT + GD= pure awsomeness

don't make it for too late in 2012

The world must not end right before XP

Rock operas are fun and innovative... it 's better than the same old shit played by even more shittier bands on the radio. I love the energy that comes from Green Day and whatever they put there hands to it's going to be epic and successful. There is no stopping them.

[McNavdo]

Another rock opera would be a little bit dissapointing and it's kinda them saying "we found something that was successful for us so we are sticking to it". We have already seen that alot of people thought it was wrong to do 2 rock operas in a row and to do 3 might just be going too far. If we also look at the reviews for the last 2 albums. AI got pretty much amazing reiews with basically everyone loving it, 21st CB got alot of good reviews but some people werent too pleased as it was another rock opera and some people even went digging for reasons to slate it, the next album (if it is a rock opera) will most likely get terrible reviews from general music fans and the press as it is a 3rd rock opera in a row and it will most likely be about a young man and a woman who fall in love and then all this bad stuff will happen to them etc etc etc and i worry that the people who arent lucky enough to understand the last 2 albums will start thinking that the band has just written the same album over and over again. Obviously as die hard fans we will all love the album but have our own thoughts on it that we might not all talk about. To be honest wouldnt it just be nice if it was a rock opera but have every song be cheerful and talk about the good point of falling in love instead of the bad things

I agree with you. I'm not excited by the idea of another Rock Opera. I do enjoy some cohesiveness between the songs but at the same time that brings up some kind of redundancy that makes everything less unexpected.

[greendepent]

No more H&H style songs in Green Day, I hate that shit

Another rock opera? I'll do a mental training to accept that

EDIT: Can you believe to Mr. Armstrong? He always change the things in last moment

Yeah, I agree with you. Three rock operas in a row, it would get a bit redundant and almost like they're sticking to a success formula (although 21stCB hasn't been that big of a success, anyway). I have nothing against rock operas, but I think it would be better (what does that even mean, 'would be better'. better for what? the reviews, the sells, the fans... for what?) if they didn't do another rock opera.

Meh, I can't seem to explain myself, sorry.

I completely agree with you.

[Haushinka!]

even though we aren't totally for sure what green day will do for their next album, i kinda hope it's not another rock opera . even when 21st century breakdown first came out i wasn't too psyched about it. american idiot was epic because it was something new, and then they did a second rock opera - i just thought some of the songs kinda sounded the same as older songs. don't get me wrong, i still love 21st century breakdown, but it's not my favorite album of theirs. but, i love every single one of their album's and songs, so they can't disappoint! idk, i just think if they did another rock opera...it would get old. but who knows?! if it has a mixture of fbht's, then it could be totally epic! <3

totally agreee!

[Malleus]

I was pretty turned off by ANOTHER rock opera, but even if I was, I'd still buy it and fall in love with it because I like Green Day. But the more I think about it, a FBHT rock opera thing would kick so much ass it'd make me forget about the whole rock opera aspect. I just hope this next album gets a little more attention in the mainstream than 21stCB did.

Yea me too, but to be honest, Billie Joe changes his mind every single time someone asks him about it so I don't think anything is set in stone just yet. And I'll buy anything with Green Day's name on it A FBHT rock opera would be really cool though. But, I think I'd rather hear some back to basics from the guys, just rough, down and dirty yknow?

I totally agree with you. Someone said that if they keep making rock operas that people will think that they're writing the same album over and over again and I'm scared of that happening. I'll buy it too, and so will every other die hard Green Day fan, but Green Day doesn't deserve a tainted name.
