Brutal Love is bloody great.

Well nobody cares but its playing on my local station now.BANG BANG

So it took a rip like Bang Bang to get your ass back on the board here too, eh? Good to see you again!

I purchased a German promo CD compilation via Discogs. It has all of the band's singles/radio edits up through the 21st Century Breakdown era. Completely unnecessary, but I'm a collector nerd sooo... Yeah.

Yes, they already announced a few German festivals.

I've just dared to listen to Money Money 2020 for the first time ever with very low expectations. I have to say it's... actually pretty good. It's not my cup of tea and it certenly is NOT typical Green Day, but it still got some catchy riffs. Combine that with total humor (I laughed from time to time) and self-awareness and you get a good record, just brilliant in its own way. Spike is my favorite song from it. I've seen that some people are still confused and can't tell for sure if they're Green Day, the reason for that is that Mike actually sings in most of the songs.

Bang Bang is such an angry and aggressive fucking song and I absolutely love it. Aggression is great and Green Day need more of it. I think that's what I missed most in the Trilogy. The songs were nice but where was all the anger? Horseshoes and Handgrenades was so aggressive and American Idiot was angry if not aggressive too. Less soft songs and more yelling please <3

I don't think it's anything to do with terrorism, or even craziness. I think it's to do with boredom, disillusionment and restlessness that eventually leads to the narrator having some kind of 'fuck this shit' breakdown. For me, it's always come off as more metaphorical than Bang Bang. I have days when I 'want to lead a long trail of destruction, and mow down any bullshit that confronts' me, but that's a million miles away from the disturbing wish for fame for mass murder that's contained in Bang Bang.

Yep.

Looks like somebody finally got the fucking single order right. It's been a long, long time since we've seen the guys knock a home run like this. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7494582/green-day-bang-bang-mainstream-rock-songs-no-1
