It's the " radio edit " version 

I meant that if the difference is just a second or two, it could be real, since those seconds could always be just silence.

I didn't find the photo anywhere else. Like it wasn't just a stock photo or something. It's possible.

The fake tracklist said "Bang Bang (3:24)" and when you go to iHeart Radio it says the song is 3:25.... weird.

Assuming the track is between 3 and 4 minutes long, which is pretty standard for a lead single, that's still a 1/60 chance of just being a lucky guess - that's quite high.

But basically, at this point, the info we're getting could be true or could be total nonsense.  Until we hear something official it's impossible to know for sure.

Wow, if that's the actual tracklist....those songs better be good!

I really hope that's not the tracklist, I'm not diggin' the titles and Ordinary World being there.

I'm with you. I want "Devil's Kind" on there much more than ordinary world.  I mean I like their slower songs, but I am hoping this album is intense.  

 

My 2 cents--
The trilogy was alright, but I felt disconnected from Green Day.  21st Century Breakdown was the beginning of that feeling when it came out, but I enjoyed it. 


With this new album, I feel more connected in a sense.  Not sure why.  It seems more back to earth, more Green Day.

For the radio edit, they could've cut out the segue from the previous track or into the one going into the next track! Just think of Holiday and BOBD.

I definitely noticed how the account was deleted once it started getting likes. I'm not quite ready to say it's a definite fake. 

To the iHeartRadio link?

[Stefano Bras]

The only titles I like from that fake tracklist (without including Bang Bang and RevRad) are maybe Outlaws and Youngblood.

Still...

The set list is probably fake and the person that made just knew that the song was that length by going to the iheart radio website like us.

Tracklist*

Also, why not putting 3:25 then?

[GenXIdiot]

I just came back and saw that cool artwork on GDA. I like it! It would be perfect, if it's really the artwork.

 Any updates on whether it could be legit?

 

Enough with the fake tracklists, already!

nothing really yet 

Too bad, I really like it. Even skeptical husband liked it and disinterested 17 year old son liked it! I hope it's real.

[JardyOfSuburbia]

Really hoping that's not the artwork for the single or album. Just kind of meh for me.

[dallasthemenace]

i had a gig to play last night and have been out of pocket... did i miss anything worth a damn in the last 24 hours? feel free to just gimmie the condensed version if i did...

[BucksCoEric]

It wouldnt surprised me if some official source came out and said that was the official artwork for the first single within the next day or two

[Maid Meringue]

Idk if anyone touched on this yet, from the post that Scheps shared publicly. Please delete if not allowed.

(Will Pirkle) Can we get more details on "mixing the shit out of" something? :) I think I've definitely mixed the shit into something before...

(Andrew Scheps) It's exactly like that only different.

A quick skim on google tells me this about Mr. Pirkle:

Quote

"....In addition to his nine years of teaching, Mr. Pirkle has twenty years of experience in the audio industry, during which he worked and consulted for companies including Korg Research and Development, SiriusXM Radio, Diamond Multimedia, Gibson Musical Instruments, and National Semiconductor Corporation.

The part about him working with Gibson peaked my interests because we know Billie has worked closely with them before.
He also went to music school with Scheps and has written 2 books, along with making mixing technology.

It would be nice to see what Pirkle was referencing, because I can't find any info about albums that he's worked on. It might indicate a few things about Bang Bang's sound. Also what does a bite knob do?

A 17-year-old who's not interested in Green Day? Surely every teenager in the world finds some sort of solace in Dookie?

Good call.

It's funny that Sunday has been the day we get the bigger leaks. 

[AmyxLongview]

So I'm assuming the lyrics of the song are "baby baby bang bang" based on Britney's Instagram post.

Most 17 year olds don't know what Dookie is, other than the slang term.  You and a few others on here are the exceptions.

Only if you know about the said DOOKIE.

[KarlAuerE12thSt]

Well with no band name or title on the cover I just hope it's gonna be added on 11th because I really like that artwork.

And it's pretty funny how we got some kind of leak (and later official confirmation), maybe we'll get this too today...

wouldnt be that nice because I live in Germany and I need to go to work next morning-.-

 

love yall 😘✌🏻️

[GenXIdiot]

I think it's going to be big. Alternative seems to making a comeback anyway. This album could explode!
