02 - Bang Bang

[Steven Seagull]

Even the video looks "old school"

[Stefano Bras]

Daaaaaaaaamn, I can't get enough of that bridge.

Fuck yes, this era is going to be something.

[mrpink1507]

My review: "Holy shit..."

[jordanlolss]

I love how Mike took bass lessons for this record! (and it definitely shows in just this song alone!)

[Sarcasm]

The bridge reminds me of *really* old The Offspring 

[michel_ale]

I feel that is a natural evolution from the place of what was American Idiot and 21 CB and also add to the rawness and speed of the song comes from the early years of green day , I feel that is one of the best songs analyzing each tone and word . I also say it's not a song with guitars and dry at first but has the strength of the first years

[Bakabanas]

This is a great song, form the first impression! And the lyrics are amazing! I wouldn't be surprised if Green Day would once again TAKE OVER 

[Burnout80]

Rolling Stone: The previous three records were incredibly ambitious. I take it you wanted to take a very different approach this time.

BJ: Yeah, I think you just go into the unknown. ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! was very much like a writing machine and just kept going no matter what. Even to the point we're forcing the material. And this time it's just the exact opposite and just sort of let life roll out and then see what happens.

[DannyDirnt]

I think this is EXACTLY what most of their fans wanted from them, a natural evolution mixing new Green Day and old Green Day (not counting the trilogy, because that was kind of a failed regression).

Confirmation that trilogy lyrics were forced 

 

 

Only listened once to the song so far, it sounds like a completely different band from the trilogy. Those drums are fineeeee

[grannysox69]

alrighty, now that i've heard the song and read the RS article, it's time to go back to sleep haha

[Fuzz]

Seriously this song is so fucking good. It reminds me of American Idiot in the recording sound of it. Just the guitars and vocals sound so good. Love the speed, love the change up, love the guitars right at the start. 

[TheOG]

Meh. It's better than oh love and KYE. Not that into it though.

[gmcloughlin]

Lads.... I absolutely loved it. It's like they picked up where AI/21st Century Breakdown left off 

So bloody happy right now. I literally can't stop smiling 

I've already pre-ordered the lyric book. If they'd kindly release those tour dates now, I could book my many tickets to see the boys on the #RevRad tour 

[Burnout80]

A few months ago... 

 

[thisguy3496]

So this is what love feels like 

[_•Whatsername•_]

Will they release a music video?

i swear to good the lyric is definitely 'the leading man in my own private drama' and not 'little man' 

i'm not gonna stop saying it

it's so clear

it doesn't sound like 'little' at all

grumblegrumblegrumble

 

it's on the lyric video qu q. even i had to do a double take because it sounds like "leading" but in the video it's "little". maybe error on their part?

[LostCanadianGoose]

When they scream World War Zero I get such a rush of emotion. This is literally the best song they've made since at least anything from 21st CB. This is coming from someone who absolutely loved the trilogy.

I agree wholeheartedly! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, shame its only 12 tracks though

[iScottie]

Really enjoyed the song! If Revolution Road truly does have a revolution theme running throughout, I get the feeling it'll be awesome.

i think so, i feel like lyric videos always have mistakes. just usually not in the chorus 

[Stefano Bras]

Well... that infamous tracklist was true so..

Revolution Radio (2016)

SOMEWHERE NOW 4:08
BANG BANG 3:25
REVOLUTION RADIO 3:00
SAY GOODBYE 3:39
OUTLAWS 5:02
BOUNCING OFF THE WALL 2:40
STILL BREATHING 3:44

YOUNGBLOOD 2:32
TOO DUMB TO DIE 3:23
TROUBLED TIMES 3:04
FOREVER NOW 6:52
ORDINARY WORLD 3:00

 

Could Forever Now be like Jesus of Suburbia or Dirty Rotten Bastards due to it's lenght?

[Maid Meringue]

They missed a HUGE marketing opportunity by not putting this in the Suicide Squad soundtrack. 

The movie was pretty trash but it would have been a no-brainer. It even has the whole "daddy's little psycho" thing which is on every hot topic t-shirt right now from the movie. 

[MistressA]

If they tour the album (which they will), I'll finally get to reach my long awaited 60th live Green Day show. I'm on 59 at present.  I'll probably see them more than once actually so that'll take me to 61/62. 😎
