I don't think it's too controversial for most stations (no explecit content) but it isn't as radio-friendly as American Idiot, KYE or 21 Guns. Streaming performance is in my opinion just as important a metric. I agree that streaming is just as important if not more. I'm just not sure why all the stations are not playing it. Maybe it is just too early. All I know is they played Bored to Death all the time when it first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it seems as though Bored to Death got more airtime early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 They've been playing Bang Bang on Octane (XM Radio) a lot, which thrills me. Octane is technically a hard rock station, but they play a lot of punk rock, too. That's great exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akshat Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It probably won't do well on the charts. But that has nothing to do with Green Day or the quality of the song. This song has a hard rock-y vibe to it and such songs don't chart well these days because they don't have a large audience that would relate to them. There have been very few exceptions in the last 5-8 years where a song like this has even reached top 30 of Billboard Hot 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the fastest song (in tempo, not length) they have put out as a single besides Jaded, which wasn't even a stand alone song? I think they chose this deliberately and judging by those statistics, it's pretty impressive imo considering the more sucessful songs are usually the slower ones. It's like they knew it was what the vast majority of people wanted from this band in this day and age and decided to take a big risk putting it out there. I really hope it pays off.

That Dude Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It will almost certainly sell more copies than Dos and Tre unless the band gets sidelined again, which would be devastating and could be the end for any future success. A million copies would put them back on the map, but even 300,000 - 700,000 would be great. They were all set to do crazy promotion for the Trilogy but could not. Hopefully they will go all out on this one and try and make it as big as possible. Five singles with videos, tv spots and interviews and a crazy huge Green Day Extravaganza Tour. Let the Tubbies and the Network join them for a few shows. I think they know what kind of spot they are in and are doing the right things to get out of it. The sound of BANG BANG and the artwork indicate that they know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that concerns me is it is not getting alot of radio play. I have not heard it on any local stations at all. I've tried contacting them but they do not contact me back. CT has a pretty big rock station, WPLR. On their site, they will list an artists entire collection. If you look at Green Day, the list all the tracks on Revolution Radio, except Bang Bang. I just couldn't figure that out. Then I saw someone post that a DJ had received an angry text complaining that the song was about a mass shooter. Then I started to think, are some radio stations not going to play it because they think it is too controversial? Does anyone else think that is happening? Where i live I've heard it multiple times everyday since it's release on different radio stations. My dad heard it on a pop radio yesterday, pretty cool.

Clockwise Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Is anyone concerned that the Kerrang headline is 'the only interview'? I know Kerrang likes to sensationalize things but that gives me the impression they're not doing a whole lot of press this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
