That Dude Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 8 hours ago, XxXxXxXxX said: It seems like most people are forgetting Jason Freeses interview. Along with Chris mentioning they were "finishing up the album" I starting to think maybe the "Not entirely accurate" part of the interview was that maybe the small shows and secret shows would be in September, followed by an album and official tour later in the fall. Also people aren't taking into account that unexpected releases are very popular now. My guess is still possibly august, mostly leaning towards September for everything and October at the very latest. It would be great if we wake up one Friday (or stay up late Thursday night) and a Green Day album suddenly appears on Itunes and in stores with no notice or announcement whatsoever. It would be hard for them to keep under wraps but it could be done. Then that same day the first single and video come out, along with a big list of tour dates for the near future. Their official sites change to a new design and GDA explodes with excitement. They keep their silence but release music videos and singles to radio all with no lead up to any of it and it's all a big freaking surprise every time! They do secret shows since they actual tour can't really be a surprise to go along with the whole surprise aspect. Oh and I just thought of a great album title: Surprise, MotherF***er! or SWIPE! or....... Emerald Bright or Unfledged Light

That would be amazing if Green Day decided to give away the new album for free for a while to get people talking about it. Maybe not force it into people's computers like U2 but have it free on itunes and maybe some big giveaways at record stores, etc. FIRST 10,000 copies are on the house. Then have a really low price on it after that like 8.00 or something. Free Green Day sounds awesome!
yodrann Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Plot Tiwst : they unexpectedly release their new album without any annoucement on Tidal next tuesday
Sixtrix Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Maybe they are not fully satisfied with the end product yet, so they are taking a break from recording to have some family time and then regroup and see how to make it better or maybe add some new songs.
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 This thread right now: Seriously, this wasn't meant to be out before the fall. Moreover, any "real" promotion for this isn't meant to start sooner than the fall/late summer. The fact that they might be almost done doesn't mean they are ready to release it as soon as they finish. They could easily start the promotion in August/September and only release it in late fall/winter/any time later.
BucksCoEric Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I think we all need to do something productive for the time being. Lets have all of GDC make a cover of blvd of broken dreams acapella style

ZSebs Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I really don't think Green Day would unexpectedly drop an album like that. They aren't as relevant as they were 10 years ago, so I feel like without promotion and all that fun stuff, an unexpected release would not do well in terms of record sales. I feel like the people who DO drop unexpected albums have a really big following.

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I'm starting to think that the not quite true part of Jason's interview was the whole fall thing. It's July and still nothing. What did he say? Tour in September? Come on, how likely it seems now? I don't believe in a last minute tour. It could have been his wishful thinking or a cruel trick to get us talking.

It could have been his wishful thinking or a cruel trick to get us talking. Well, "Fall" isn't until towards the end of September and we're only two weeks into Summer here, so I wouldn't worry at all. "Oh Love" wasn't announced until late June and released mid-July, and that was the start of promo for a three album set. Plus, the band didn't even announce the first part of their US tour for the trilogy until September, shortly before the album was even out. TL;DR: I don't think there's anything to worry about.
