James11693 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Anyone think they'll do in store signings for the albums like they did when Breakdown came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riotgrrl_GD Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Do we think we'll get tour dates before the album comes out on 10/7? I'm trying to think of how it has happened in the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not even the staff of this site can stand anyone possessing even a dissenting opinion of the band? I realize that this is a fan site so the majority of the people here are going to likely be the most die hard fans you could possibly come across, but sometimes this place is fucking embarrassing to the degree in which posters here attempt to stomp out any conflicting opinions. 14 minutes ago, Eric said: Nothing new by just looking at song titles?

Honestly at this point I don't even expect fresh. I just want something that doesn't cause me to cringe for nearly an hour. Going off of the album cover, title of the album, song titles and Bang Bang as a single, I'm not really getting the sense that Green Day are exactly at their prime in terms of creative output.

I sometimes feel like some of you may lack any sense of self-awareness on any level. I think the point was just that it was a bit nit-picky, since the point being made was just that you can't necessarily judge a song by its title rather than an attempt to start a debate on whether She is a good title. I don't actually think it was a big deal to disagree and say She's a good title, but don't think it was a big deal to make the point above in response either. Don't really know why people are now getting pissed off with each other over opinions on song titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I think quite a few of Green Day's titles would probably seem boring/generic if you hadn't heard the songs. It gives you a different perspective and adds meaning to the title once you know the song it represents, they're bound to sound less interesting on their own. But it's still fun to look at the titles/talk about how interesting they sound. Doesn't mean a full judgement of the song is being made (which would be very silly).

Harry Potter. Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Should've called the album Celebrity Martyr, Bang Bang being the title track, and the album conceptually being a spiritual sequel to American Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I agree about the hate for the simplistic song titles. Think of Green Day's all time hits: Longview, Basket Case, When I Come Around, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 Guns, etc. A lot of those are unique and memorable. They almost add another element of coolness or attractiveness to the song. Yes, not all Green Day song titles are cool, but those same songs also do not stick out amongst the others. Even if "Still Breathing" or whatever is a hit, no one will remember that song purely based on name in 10 yrs like they do with Blvd. or Wake Me Up.
