RevRad speculations

[delete me]

So I thought I'd share my speculations for the new album. idk if I should've just posed this on the existing thread about revrad, (I'm new to this site) but imo, I think this specific topic permits a new thread.

It's all but confirmed that the albums title will be "revolution radio" & to me this is an obvious sign that the record will be very political. (thank fucking god) so first I'd like to address what the topics in the album might include. I think there will defiantly be a track about billies frustration with trump's rise of power through his fear mongering & bigoted rhetoric. there will most likely be a track (or at least a line) about bernie sanders's lack of media coverage & clinton's deceitful tactics to cheat bernie out of the race, seeing as billie expressed his disconcert with this through instagram. alot of people have speculated that bang bang will be about gun violence / gun control, I think that's a plausible theory, personally though, I believe It will be about an abrupt political revolution exploding out of nowhere & overthrowing our corrupt government & the "bang bang" will be a metaphor for either the rapid speed of the revolution or for the destruction of the current government (most likely the latter)

track wise, revolution radio will most likely open, seeing as warning opened up warning, american idiot open american idiot, & 21CBD, pretty much opened 21CBD. (Billie pretty much confirmed there will be a title track through instragram, where he shared a setlist with revrad written in) I think bang bang will be track 2 (no particular reason for that) & I feel like there'll be about 12-13 tracks (again, just a feeling)

I hope we have another rock opera, or at least a concept album. I enjoy billies storytelling abilities, though maybe they want to move past the rock opera thing, seeing as they've already done it twice

anyway, that's it. feel free to share your speculations & expand on mine in the comments (& let's hope this album won't be the shitstorm that the trilogy was)
