CrimsonArk Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 6 minutes ago, Cheap Escape said: Well, my initial thoughts are that this is an inspired song. It has the sincerity and passion that I expect from Green Day. It is topical, without being too "of the moment," so to speak, or being particularly ham-fisted. Most importantly, it simply "feels right." I definitely approve of this song; I look forward to hearing the entire record. I'm sure I'll have more to say later, but I need to take some time to absorb all of this. How is this song NOT ham-fisted? Quote
The Grohl Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I decided I'm gonna do my best to get both the CD and the vinyl. I probably can't get it from their site though...that shipping kills me. As long as my money is good I'll get both. If not, I'm gonna get what I can afford, maybe the vinyl, and ask for the other one for Christmas. 1 Quote

cabot_girl Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I think it's great that they produced the album themselves!!! I truly can't wait to hear the whole thing Quote
hansyhobs Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I've always bought Green Day CDs so I'll be a little bummed if they don't bring out a 'normal' CD and only a lyric book like AI and 21CB. Even though I mainly buy vinyl these days, Green Day on CD will always be a number 1 choice for me. Saying that I only have Demo on vinyl and not CD... 1 Quote

Now my only doubt is if I order the vinyl with the IN membership... The song is amazing, tomorrow I will start to try to learn how to play it. Tré's drum play is definitly beyond the top, better than ever! And that basslines from Mike are awesome Quote

I don't know if the booklet will be offered anywhere else though :/ I decided to pass on the IN membership. I don't think it's worth it and now so many websites and radio stations hold their own pre-sales for tickets it feels unnecessary. 1 Quote

I believe it to be sincere writing from Billie; I accept it for what it is. I'm not impartial to straightfowardness either, but it just seems kind of weak in my opinion when discussing something like mass shooting, especially from the perspective of a potential mass shooter. It's surface level. Edited August 11, 2016 by CrimsonArk Quote
GenXIdiot Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 The production and engineering are gorgeous. 2 Quote

Chris Durso Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 It's on I tunes both bang bang and the album. I preordered the album Already Quote
heart on a noose Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I like this song and I think it's great choice to put it as a first single. I feel some sort of tension while listening to it. From what I read in the RS interview and song lyrics seems like an appropriate intro to Revolution radio. Billie really knows how to put great lines together. Thumps up, guys. Quote
Popular Post Paola17 Posted August 11, 2016 Popular Post Posted August 11, 2016 Finally read through every single page that I've missed since right before the song came out (probably around 50, wow). Went on Live 105 on my phone to listen, was getting jittery since it was 10 and it wasn't playing. That finished. Then went on to wmmr and it was half way through there, so great. wow. wow. so much energy, great drums. still have to read the lyrics, but damn. and the interview-skimmed through it, will probably buy the physical issue later, if it's already out. still debating on what format to pre-order ? (also, I'm not sure if the lyric book pre-order comes with a physical cd as it states that it comes with a digital download, but that ends up not being mentioned in the line that describes the book). WHO ELSE IS READY TO DIE IN THE PIT WHEN THEY PERFORM THIS??!! 6 Quote

Tubbie Head Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Can't wait for my sister to come back from work and fangirl with her. She still hasn't said anything about it but she was listening to Virgin radio at work! 1 Quote
PurpleIron1039 Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 The song has certainly sparked some strange feelings in some people, haha. I just saw a girl comment on Billie's latest Instagram post that she lost her virginity to "Bang Bang" and glimpsed another comment addressing Billie as "Abaddon" (my first thought was "the Venom drummer?" but I'm assuming that that's not what she meant). 2 Quote
Billie Hoe Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 My mum was dancing around the kitchen while Bang Bang played on the radio and ended it with “it’s not as good as their earlier stuff” mother are you serious Oh, and then came ACDC's "Back in Black" and she said: "... is that still Green Day?" MOTHER YOU HAVE LOST YOUR JUDGING PRIVILEGES 2 Quote
