[POLL] What do you think of Bang Bang?

[DannyDirnt]

Hi!

Well, so Green Day's new single is out! What impressions do you have about it?

[PursuitOfEpicness]

I can't believe people actually just think it's okay, haha i'm crazy about it

[iScottie]

I like it as a whole. I could probably do without "Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier."

The theme and tone behind the song are great, though, and I look forward to the full album.

[DanPak]

Absolutely fantastic! This album has the potential to be better than 21st Century Breakdown!

[RoosterTeeth]

The lyrics are almost unsettling to me. Billie Joe did a great job with the mass shooter culture mentality.

Yeah not the most original line, I kind of like how it's twisted to have a new meaning though (rather than just being some kind of lazy copy of it with nothing new brought to the table).

But other than that teeny tiny half criticism the song is amazing! Absolutely love it, so catchy and cool sounding and brilliant, witty lyrics.  

[The Grohl]

I haven't been this excited about a Green Day song since I first heard "Know Your Enemy." I know people hate that song, but I still love it.

[Steven Seagull]

I like the old school sound with the touch of Trilogy

My thoughts exactly! I still voted: ''I love it'' in the poll though, because I'm pleasantly surprised. I honestly thought it would be a disappointment; a slow, average sounding and over processed song, like some of the songs on the trilogy. This though, is the kind of song that leads you to hit the replay button over and over again, because the ending is kind of open and doesn't satisfy and you just want to hear the amazing intro again.

I love it. All of it.!!! 😍 

[Juls]

I love the instrumental, especially Tré's drumming. Not so keen on the lyrics, personally I find them a little cheesy in places- I think Billie's written better. But overall I like it.

[Christian's Inferno!]

Wow only 1/88 actually disliking it!

Yes, I wonder who...

EDIT: It's now 129 who voted: ''I love/like it'' VS. one person who ''doesn't mind it'' and one who dislikes it.

I actually loved this line, I thought it captured the mentality of a mass shooter perfectly.  I live right near Sandy Hook, so I was immersed in it.  I have a friend that lived on the same block as Adam Lanza.  His father left a long time ago because he just could not deal with his problems.  Then his mother taught him to shoot because she was actually a prepper, which is the movement of people preparing for a catastrophe by arming themselves and stocking supplies.  So, I thought that line was just so perfect.  

[Snowman]

First reaction - really glad it's uptempo. Production sounds fantastic.

[teresa1988]

Well after the first listen I thought it's quite okay, but after the second listen I really love it and now I'm listening to it on repeat   Can't wait for the album, I am so excited!

[PursuitOfEpicness]

I've probably listened to it at least 35 times

[PurpleIron1039]

My love for it has waned a little bit since the 5th listen, but I really, really do like the song a lot. I can't wait to hear the next single, because if it's as good as "Bang Bang", I'll be pretty damn happy.

[Mr. Shluffy]

"I got my photo bomb, I got my Vietnam" is a nice little melodic callback to St Jimmy

[localinsomniac]

I mean, I've only listened twice. Trying real hard to not burn out on it.

[HungryHungryModels]

I love it. It's been on a loop here.  I like the lyrics a lot. I like that it's upbeat. Billie's vocals sound amazing, like American Idiot/21CB/Trilogy combined. I actually really like the chorus a lot and the breakdown is my favorite part. The whole thing overall just sounds great and fresh Green Day. Though I have been comparing it to what it sounds like from previous albums (St. Jimmy and Dirty Rotten Bastards if you didn't see my FB post), I see this song as something totally of its own that really represents the current time, and a whole new era sound for Green Day. Super stoked for the album and tour! I'm guessing that the others songs' themes will touch on ISIS, mass/school shootings, and Black Lives Matter. Anyways, I am more excited and pleased than I can put into words.  

[EastCaitNowhere]

I love it! it's like a lovechild of St Jimmy and Let Yourself Go. It gave me that overall 'Green Day' sound and it's just made me more excited for what's to come!

Litterally the only reason I said "I like it" instead of "I love it" still a great song though! Fast paced. Energetic. Just great all around

Let yourself go was pretty good and not slow at all.

[Sixtrix]

I haven't been this excited since American Idiot was released as the first single
