Not at all. 6.1 millions views on Facebook. It already has the same amount of views the Oh Love Lyric video gained in 4 years.

I went walking with my phone and headphones and listened to Bang Bang over and over for my entire walk, LOL. The tempo is perfect for walking and it sounds GORGEOUS through headphones.

While browsing Apple Music and its curated playlists, "Bang Bang" is all over. - #6 in Hot Tracks (All Genres) - #7 in "Best of the Week" curated playlist (All Genres) - #1 in Hot Tracks (Alternative) - #1 in Hot Tracks (Rock) - #1 in "The A-List Alternative" curated playlist - #1 in "The A-List: Rock" curated playlist - #1 in "The A-List: Hard Rock" curated playlist

Well, considering the official site only has the Facebook video up (which has 6 million as the other person pointed out), 1.6 isn't too bad. If you think about it, a lot of casual fans would follow this pattern: Hey, Green Day has a new song out, let me check their website.

They mean quite a lot. For a view to have been counted, the video has to have played for long enough to make an impression on the user. Of course 6.1 million people haven't watched the entire video from start to finish. But the video has made an impression on these people, which is great from a publicity viewpoint.

I get a little excited when the second to last "I wanna be a celebrity martyr" starts playing because my brain is excited there's at least one more after this one.

Sorry, I can't make the middle picture bigger

I love it, the guitar and bass seems so HUGE

I have been listening all day & it finally has come on the radio - the best song of the day. Goal achieved for today.

Andrew Scheps has moved into mixing completely 'in the Box'...meaning no hardware or anything, just computer software. CLA mixed green day since Nimrod (i think) and does everything in analogue with hardware and really expensive gear. There is no right or wrong way to mix, but the sound is certainly different

Recording technology hasn't really changed since the release of the trilogy (If that's what you're referring to)

Oh my gosh, I want an arcade Green Day themed game right now.

i want the chorus as my ringtone holy crap

I'm definitely glad that they're going for the big marshall sound again

I don't buy that theory. Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. iHeart surely wasn't angry at them for making their festival very topical. It made much better promo for the festival than for the band. iHeart is happy to play a band that made their event go viral. The "scandal" just didn't work well for the band. It wasn't a badass thing that would draw attention to the albums, it was a huge-ass flop. That's why I don't doubt it was unintentional. This just isn't what you do if you want to minimize the consequences of going to rehab instead of doing proper promo. Jesus Christ, they wiped off any publicity the albums could have gotten with this.

100 other artists blow GD out of the water by sales alone GnR (nearly double GD's sales) U2 Bon Jovi Van Halen Coldplay Led Zeppelin Beatles Queen etc

Every time I hear "I wanna dance like I'm on the video" I have this mental image of BJ twerking and I don't know how to feel about that

Bang Bang is #13 on Alt Nations most requested songs list. They do it on a Saturday so the song was only out for 2 days. Now if the oldest didn't total my car with Sirius radio I could listen to it.

The bridge is my favorite part of the song

Fuck that shit, I want a GD's Metal Slug

Angry Birds and Rockband aren't good enough for you?

idk the comments are typical & make me laugh - haters gonna hate

Not sure if this has been posted yet.... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/music/2016/aug/15/pop-punk-green-day-blink-182-descendents?client=safari Interesting article in The Guardian (UK paper). Very positive about the new single, and the band generally. Ignore the comments....Guardian readers are notoriously pretentious, middle class snobs....and I'm including myself in that

I don't know if this has been talked about yet, but I like this song's lyrics as a continuation of Having A Blast. Billie's focus with the gun issue seems to fall to the psychosis-- the hero complex of the people committing heinous gun crimes. He wrote from the perspective of the shooter (I know it was a bomb, but I digress) with Having A Blast. In Bang Bang he's a removed narrator addressing the character from Having A Blast using that biting sarcasm and irony that he does so well to paint the true insanity and futility of mass shooters. I don't know if he even thought of Having A Blast while writing Bang Bang, but the echoes speak to his focus on the issue

I can't hear "Martyr." I always hear "model" 😤 I don't hear the "r" Did you get a confirmation email of your purchase? The link is near the bottom.

Blink-182, Weezer, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, to name a few, have their singles playing on the radio and at the first listen they seemed alright. After a while these songs eventually grew on me. It feels like this has been the case for a lot of the songs I have been hearing on the radio lately. Fast forward to a few seconds before Aug 11th 7am PDT when all of us are waiting with excitement for the single to come out. We were talking in the group chat, viewing the topic for the song, and listening to a live streams (a non-US one might I add) for any hints of the new song. @Andres had sent us a Spotify link to us in the chat and I was thinking "here we go". I pressed play and had no clue what was coming next since I tried my best to avoid reading any comments about the song. The moment the intro started I already knew I was hooked. The face paced guitars and drums took me back to the pace of St. Jimmy. Hell yeah, a fast first single. Then you have the catchy hurrahs and the chorus. Aspects of 21st Century Breakdown returns in the bridge of the song. Lastly, that drum fill from Mr. Tré Cool. All these different elements packed into this song. It's great. Welcome back Green Day. This single leaves me thinking, if this is the first single off of the album, I cannot wait to hear the rest of the album.

Exactly. I get excited every time I see a Green Day shirt. I don't care how big of a fan they are, I just like that they're enough of a fan to wear a shirt. I'll talk to anyone in person about Green Day, even if it's just about Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
