Nickofsuburbia Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 if this is a pot then its easily the most anticipated pot of all time therefore we have to witness the boiling immediately
Jacob. Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Well, do you want them to not tell us anything at all then? Not if they're going to announce it and then have us wait days after its supposed release.
Fuzz Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 It wouldn't be a problem if we weren't told it was going to be released. Not if they're going to announce it and then have us wait days after its supposed release. I think we fucked up by mentioning anything to you guys. I wasn't told "Hey, the track list will be out tomorrow. let everyone know." I just felt like relaying a tiny bit of information I had. I should know better than to post anything at all, because it seems like this every time. It doesn't matter if i say "Don't get your hopes up but..." everyone still takes everything so literally and just gets bummed when it doesn't come at the exact moment. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter one goddamn bit if it comes out today or 2 weeks from now.

People will always whine and complain (I know from experience with my own site), but there are some of us here (myself included) who appreciate the effort. Keep it up, Andres and co.
Nickofsuburbia Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ^agreed^ it keeps things interesting especially when theres little amounts of Green Day news having something to wait for and bitch about it is better than not having anything and bitching about it
Sanity Loan Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 having something to wait for and bitch about it is better than not having anything and bitching about it I completely disagree
AndrewW91 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ^agreed^ it keeps things interesting especially when theres little amounts of Green Day news having something to wait for and bitch about it is better than not having anything and bitching about it I wouldn't say bitch about, but discuss. It gives us hope. Which I believe to be a good thing.

The only mistake was that people were getting their hopes up thinking it would be released every day of the week. I ran out of things to say at the end, so it's not exactly a complete post.
Hermione Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Hey, I think it's great you tell us things. People will always whine and complain (I know from experience with my own site), but there are some of us here (myself included) who appreciate the effort. Keep it up, Andres and co. Me too. And the "whining and complaining" is hardly deadly serious most of the time, it's just part of discussing and anticipating. People get their hopes up even though they know they might be disappointed because sometimes it's more fun that way. We're enjoying ourselves really
Job Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ^agreed^ it keeps things interesting especially when theres little amounts of Green Day news having something to wait for and bitch about it is better than not having anything and bitching about it bitching in general is retarded.

Gives us fans something to look forward too, but yes, the complaining and whining about it not out yet gets annoying, but you did the right thing.
XxRedundantCastaway86xX Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 To be fair, starting on Sunday up until either Tuesday or Wednesday we were told each day that the setlist was coming out, which is why at the end of each day people were bummed. It's not anyone's fault really, besides for Green Day's management, who may be having trouble deciding which songs should be included on the album.
Nickofsuburbia Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 what i MEANT was dont hide things from us if you think the only repercussion will be people complaining about the promise not going through I think that people "discussing" the news is better than not having anything to discuss at all
Jacob. Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 bitching in general is retarded. How funny. I guessed who repped your post and I got it right.
Sanity Loan Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 How funny. I guessed who repped your post and I got it right. What the hell do you have against me? Its been going on for a while now. You wont answer my PMs or anything so I'm bringing into this
Jacob. Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 What the hell do you have against me? Its been going on for a while now. You wont answer my PMs or anything so I'm bringing into this I just thought it was funny that my guess was right. Not lol funny, but just funny.
Sanity Loan Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Can we get back on topic please? I think we're getting close to the point where we have to close the thread until we get some news. That's what we did with the LOTAG video thread. Don't want to do it here, but its getting close.
Job Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ^Might be a good idea. But I don't think it's that bad yet.
Nickofsuburbia Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 i dont think that closing it would be necessary since a new thread would have to be created when the news finally is released (unless you can re-open the thread or something) but i dont see anything wrong with speculating about the album and talking about it

"ugh... that setlist needs to come out NOW" etc etc Yes, it could be re-opened after its been closed. And I was thinking that we should make a new thread once the setlist comes out anyway

And I was thinking that we should make a new thread once the setlist comes out anyway Yeah but it's inevitable that people will do that, when people are excited anticipating something they get impatient sometimes. Doesn't mean they take it deadly seriously or they're not still enjoying the thread. Who cares if a few people post "where's the setlist???", it's just part of anticipating it. The only thing that's bringing the mood of the thread down is people complaining about the complaining . I think everyone here should lighten up!

And I was thinking that we should make a new thread once the setlist comes out anyway I think the thread could use a break. There's nothing to really talk about at the moment. Right now the majority of posts are either of people speculating as to if the songs are going to be on 1 CD or 2 or of people wondering when the setlist is going to come out. The trailer has also been discussed to death so it wouldn't hurt to take a breather, it would take some peoples minds off it until some actual news comes out. But that's just my opinion.

Hermione Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Or anyone who isn't enjoying the thread could take a break from it and leave those that are to enjoy discussing the upcoming album
