Can we please stop discussing what the first that came to our head was when we saw the song title? 
I was sitting in maths class at the time so I was thinking about parabolas but of course no one needed to know that.
Hate to sound like an angry "mod" but can we discuss something else 

You can also leave you know.

I hope that this song will be political as I usually agree with Green Day. Even if I don't agree with them their music compensates me for that.

I hope not. They always sounded like some social justice warriors who tried to act all cool. I mean Billie here and his tweets and Instagram posts.

That's the exact opposite of how they come across. I don't remember Billie ever posting or writing about political subjects just to come across as cool or relevant. You should know that as a dedicated 99 Revolutions fan.

The title doesn't sound too good but it could work if the song is somehow ironical, I mean, if the lyrics aren't too preachy but still make a point in a clever and ironical way.

Discuss something else all you want , a few posts about what the song title made people think of aren't stopping other conversation. When a thread goes too far off topic a mod will say something, no one else needs to worry about it.

Agreed. It's funny not knowing if "bang bang" refers to something fun or something serious/gun related. Very intriguing title.

It would depend who the touring company planning such a tour would be.  If its frontier touring then they operate in New Zealand as well so one would assume that a NZ Tour/Show would be part planning of such a tour.  Last time NZ missed out to my understanding more because Green Day were playing Soundwave and the organizers don't do anything in NZ and when I asked I was told if one touring company already is bringing an act out another one won't attempt to add shows to that tour.   And as we know 99% of music acts touring NZ are done as a stop on a Australian tour and not a stand alone NZ tour.

Yeah i knew it was because of Soundwave that NZ missed out.

Bang Bang, you're dead. 50 bullets in your head.

I see your point. Everyone expects something different. I think that sometimes people need some fun and sometimes some politics. While the Trilogy was released I wanted something fun. Now, as Polish government is terrible and or economy will be in trouble I want something political event if it's about USA. Green Day lyrics can fit to different nations and communities.

OK, there is something I don't want - anti-corporation songs.

[Beathe.]

The title makes me think of Dirty Pretty Things. Not sure what to expect. 

[StuckWithDom]

articles from the NME, Kerrang, Alternative Press yet nothing so far from Rolling Stone...
Chances of the photoshoot being for them are increasing fast

I really hope the song is fun sexual song.

I really don't want a song about bad american cops and their trigger happy fingers.

Oh my god I can already feel your posts about being disappointed and the new song sucking.

[Lacky]

I like the title, and I don't understand when someone says "It's not a GD title"...WTF does this mean? 
If you read the title "Holiday", it's not a deep title, but the song says something different. 
Bang Bang looks intriguing and catchy, and I have full faith in Green Day and in BJ's ability as a songwriter. 
Let's wait and I'm sure we won't be disappointed!

[Grinch]

I don't log into GDC for like a week and come back form being out of town to confirmation of a new album and new song in a week and a half. What is life right now

 

[stefand11]

years pass seemingly fast...then an announcement and Im dreading waiting another 11 days

[WorryRock02]

Please no.

I don't think we should too be concerned about the album title before hearing the actual song. Both Holiday and Know Your Enemy were rather boring titles which had been used by major artists before (Madonna and Rage Against the Machine respectively). It's about the lyrics and the music.

[Alan86]

Don't judge a book by its cover, but please go ahead and judge a song by its title

I agree 100%. I'm so excited about this, although still trying to not get my hopes up too much for this one song...
Also, can't wait to see the artwork!

Another observation, Billie says 'Stayed Tuned', so I assume we'll get more album information before the single release, possibly with a title and artwork.

I think this is almost "obvious". For example, Red Hot Chili Peppers published their new songs on their YouTube channel with the artwork and the title of the new record.
I suppos that GD will publish "Bang Bang" on their channel too, but I don't think we'll have an official video, at least for the first weeks after the release.

Woke up this morning and thought, this wasn't a dream this time! 

[Alan86]

The guy that did the photoshoot with green day, Frank Maddocks, latest Instagram post. More to come from him too. Album Art too, may not not be the front cover art though??

He also posted #revrad on the 9th of July. And it says Otis under that guys arm.
