Is this Liam, as in the old Liam from forever ago?

Either way, you're a god damn genius like me then.

It's pretty obvious I think that I'm surprised it's not said more.

Let me ask you this.  How many people see on the road "Stop when the reds light flash" on school busses now whenever they are driving?  I never can stop seeing it since the Tril.

Bang Bang is apparently forever tied to Holiday because it was the first thing I thought of when I heard the name of the song when I came to check GDA which I do monthly while I'm waiting for new albums and tours.

I don't know why, but when I read your posts, I picture this guy:

But it's such goddam entertaining straw-grasping I can't even be annoyed with it.

Nope. I'm still the original and the best!

I guess I'm like a cheap knock-off then. Oh well.

There was a ginger Liam from the UK I think, too???

[Chin for a Day]

All I know is that our Crock6000 friend has got me excited again.

I love this and take it as a strong compliment!!!

I might be slowly turning into this guy though...  Not because of getting older, but because I'm turning into a master ninja. I might be Crush by tonight but right now I am Master Oogway.

Damn straight, he's awesome.

I'm behind by 20 pages (again) but I'm guessing there's nothing new and just a lot more speculation.  Right?

Anything new will probably get its own thread!

As good as anything speculated already - & I have the same feeling BANG BANG.

[The Grateful Green]

So with all the news and the review we have of Bang Bang, in my personal opinion it's going to sound like a heavier, more in your face, yet polished off song kinda like "Horseshoes and Handgrenades". Just my opinion though. 

Fuck. I'm going through Green Day withdrawals.

not to get off track or too far ahead of things, but i have a feeling that there will be an appearance on american late night television coming pretty soon... probably colbert, fallon, or kimmel...

Or SNL, which resumes in mid October, around the time the album could be out.

fallon has a great interaction w/ his guests.. but they were one of the handful of bands to appear on the colbert report...and w/ colbert having taken over letterman's spot, who was very fond of them.. i could see that being an early stop. i also think if james corden did a carpool karaoke w/ them, itd be hilarious. i honestly dont care what show they turn up on...i just hope it isnt another morning program like 'today' or 'good morning america'...

[GenXIdiot]

I think it's time for another GDA "Static Noise" podcast...

Thank you for saving me asking this!

[dallasthemenace]

billie's group photo form rehearsal was the last piece of anything relevant...

[PursuitOfEpicness]

Wow this things blowing up. I'm so psyched, older sound with hopefully political strong lyrics, dang. 

For those of you who thought by the reviewer saying the single was like Dookie he meant it sounded like the trilogy... Wouldn't he just say it sounded like the trilogy? Lol

[KGLWW]

Well, I don't trust that it will actually sound like dookie or kerplunk, but not sure I even want it to. Cigarettes and Valentines should be the last song they make that sounds excatly like burnout. It gets old. But I'm intrigued in hearing that it's a raw recording. I think it'd be difficult for reviewers to get that wrong
