At this point, I want MOOTIK to be fake out of spite. I genuinely enjoy FOAMF and Fire, Ready, Aim.

I don’t really think it’s fair to make a decision like buying an album solely on the title of a song. I was pretty young and Wasn’t following the band at the time, but I’ll tell ya that if I saw the title Jesus of Suburbia, I would’ve been hesitant to listen to it. On the flip side, I remember I saw the title Little Boy Named Train and I imagined this really epic song, but it turned out to be one of my least favorite songs. just because you don’t like their music now doesn’t mean they don’t care about quality. They are just trying out a new sound and it’s exciting to see that.

You forget that some of us also bought an album that had the song “Dominated Love Slave” in it.

Condolences to the many people Murray Bowles left an impression on. Billie left a nice comment on this post.

It's his masked singer costume🤣

It's just a song title. There are plenty of good songs with dumb titles. Seems a bit harsh to judge an entire album off of this.

Did you get an advanced copy of the album or something? Just because two songs aren’t of the quality you expect, doesn’t mean you can safely, 100% come to that conclusion. Also, people said similar things about the Trilogy, then RevRad came and quickly silenced people who spouted doom and gloom for the band’s new material.

Well, he did say that the iHeartRadio thing was his last drink.

They had fun, that’s all it was

So some conspiracy theorists have tried saying FOAM secretly is FHBT, but that's not true. Why? The Rev shares his beer. Billie doesn't.

I don't know you but I hate you.

When you get to this before Green Day do! Incidentally this is so cute! Green Day have made me soft in the head for unicorns!

Maybe that's somewhat true, but I don't completely agree. It's sad that people can't appreciate good stuff from a band that's been around for so long. Maybe they've just done what they can with their sound for the most part. Every project has a shelf life. I think it's really entitled to expect them to keep making their best work every time they release something. And I disagree about 21CB. I think that was a worse version of AI basically. It has some good songs, but it's not really anything different

...don't make the same mistake I did and don't click the link to the artist's account

Kerplunk is a great album, any combination of two songs from it would destroy FRA and FoA... in terms of quality.

How can God’s favorite band throw such an immoral show

Kevin now has other ...... compensations 😉

I've watched this like 20 times and I'm still laughing.

Saw this at Target today and immediately thought of Billie and his love for this movie. It was a sweatshirt/jumper.

It makes me so sad that special shows like this will NEVER come anywhere near me. I don't mind driving 400+ miles, or 8+ hours. But my favorite band are on the other side of the country. Absolutely can't make it to Cali. Us southern fans need to convince the guys to get houses on this side of the USA, it's very nice out here and cheaper! Their millions would go a lot further in Greenville, South Carolina compared to California. They think they live like rock stars NOW, nope! With the cost of living cut in half they could live like BILLIONAIRES! There's a house for sale on my street, it would give them real street cred to move into a regular neighborhood, and the only super fan on the block is anti-social, so I won't be bothering you. I'd wave as I'm leaving for work but that's it.

I really like "Father of All...". I think if "Fire, Ready, Aim" hadn't come out I would be much more optimistic about this album. Just such a boring, paint-by-the-numbers song. Green Day can write better in their sleep. It's worse than every Longshot song released, even including the EPs.

New cute pic of Billie:

I don't support cruelty, but if i see another one of these edits, I will commit a crime

I was a pro for 5 years before picking a different career so your sarcastic comment means squat to me and I wasn't taking any shots at you. If you're working on something send me your stuff I'd love to hear it (no sarcasm here I'm 100% serious I'd love to hear your stuff if you have something to share). I've seen you post around here for 4-5 months now I have a large enough sample size to warrant my comment. Sure, music is subjective but I'm going to step in when you start commenting on the "level of effort". They produced Rev Rad on their own with no producer. Do you even know what managing a project like that looks like? It's clear you view this as a fan and that's exactly what you are. Don't pretend like you've been on their side of the fence and think you're in a position to warrant the level of effort for a project you've never participated in or seen to completion. I'm linked to people that have worked with Rob Cavallo directly and the one thing I'll say is don't question GD's work ethic. They spend a lot of time tracking and they spend so much time on effort on being 150% precise when recording. If you want to subjectively talk about the quality of the songs or songwriting that's one thing but to make a statement based on 0% facts about the level of effort is where I draw the line. Am I "stupid" or do I just have the balls to directly address bullshit when I see it? I guess we'll see. Read my point as why I said that. It's not about the songs it's about the work ethic comments. People underestimate the work ethic of playing at the level GD is at. It's not as easy as it looks. Chances are your ordinary average job is much easier and less demanding.

I feel like with everything before American Idiot, they basically did what came natural to them and those albums generally were really good. With American Idiot and 21CB (and with their side projects during that period) the band tried to do something new and tried really hard to make those albums stand out. With everything they've done since then, I feel like they're trying to do a mix of all their older sounds without really bringing much new elements to the table. Sometimes that works really well, other times it has mixed results. FOAMF isn't really all that different apart from the falsetto vocal style. The chorus of FOAMF works really well to me but again that's just Green Day being Green Day. FRA sounds like Green Day not putting in much effort imo Exactly what I was saying. GD's singles aren't always indicative of the album they appear on Obviously I'm just giving my personal opinion. My personal 12 favourite trilogy songs I'd prefer over the RevRad album. My favourite trilogy songs include Brutal Love, Oh Love, X-Kid, Stray Heart, Lazy Bones etc. @petros is just giving his opinion. There's nothing "Low IQ" about what his preferences are. Your opinions on Bang Bang and RevRad are subjective, just as his opinions are

So, in your mind, Green Day music is only ever good if they drive themselves insane just to show “effort”. Need I bring up Warning again? Fans trashed this album at first because of how drastically different it was compared to their last few albums. It shows that Green Day could work their ass off in music, and still have it trashed.

I'm not a big fan of their recent singles either but this is a mischaracterisation of the situation. Firstly, singles can be completely different from the rest of the album. They aren't necessarily indicative of the rest of the album. A lot of the time they're just released because they work well as singles. Also, I don't understand you characterising foam as "gross". I'm not into the song mainly because of the verses but I don't see anything "gross" about the song. Secondly, we've heard 2 songs. Wait until we hear at least another song or two before making your mind up. I don't really get this notion that RevRad was way better than the trilogy. I mean, the main issue people had with the trilogy was the length and the filler across the 2 hours of material. But RevRad isn't really of a higher quality. Their solution wasn't to up their game on RevRad, but it was more to remove the filler and bring back some of the politics of the AI/21CB years but make it more generic. Really the only thing that sort of improved on RevRad was the lyrics. There were less cringeworthy lyrics, there were more personal lyrics but at the same time, the lyrics on RevRad were rarely exceptional, especially by GD standards I think if you took the best 12 songs from the trilogy and compared it to RevRad, the 12 best trilogy songs would be far superior. And even then, there's way more than 12 stellar songs on the trilogy, at least imo. RevRad imo is better than Uno, Dos and Tré individually but only slightly. I'd take the trilogy in a heartbeat over RevRad

that is/was all really embarrassing.

This one has changed titles several times. Now it is called "I wuz a Teenage Teenager Teenaging" It's working title was "Inglorious Kind of Magnum Teenagers" or something like that. But yes, I'll spend money on this album. Even if it is as awful as some of the song titles are clunky, CD's are 9.99. I can make 10 bucks in less than an hour, so it's not really a hardship.

Their greatest work is obviously "Bratwurst in your Coffeemaker"

This era is kind of lame

So to me, that‘s what we get with every single GD record. Every record is slightly different than the previous, so every album has it‘s one unique style but what GD managed to do as well, is that they always pack this signature GD style in every song. They stay therselves and don‘t try to change their style just to fit in this more pop/dance listening world. And somehow they even manage to get new and young fans every year with that strategy and I really love that!

Poor Kevin... 🤣😂

A few from Mike’s stories tonight:

Wait, so it's been confirmed that there will be a song called "I was a Teenage Teenager" and people are still gonna give their hard earned money to buy this shit?

Father of All... played during the Devils/Blackhawks game Friday night.

@ whoever said billie needs a teleprompter — he had an ipad with lyrics for a lot of the songs blown up really big on a music sheet stand

WTF 😂😂😂🦄🦄🦄

Good news! Just heard Fire Ready Aim at the skijumping world cup event in Russia. Slowly the song is spreading over Europe 😅

I've never been more offended by a post Billie occasionally messing up is endearing and it's never bad enough to actually impair the show overall. However, I can't forgive him this: That's simply a crime.

I'd sell it on ebay

I'll take it if it's free though

I HATE HIM I hate this man and his cursed content

I love the shell game that are the Green Day side projects. This show really illustrated how Billie can just stand there in front while all the game pieces that are Mike, Tre, Bill, Chris, Kevin, David, Greg, Jason, Jason F, just shuffle around in a different combinations behind him and suddenly boom you’ve got Green Day or you’ve got the Coverups or the Hot Tubs or the Longshot... It’s just very funny, like a party trick. I almost want Billie to give a flourish and go Ta-Dah! each time 😂. What other band does this?

I hate to say it, but I agree. I honestly thought by now we'd get another single, music video, some more interviews, and more magazine cover stories. And yeah they've made some appearances, but it's mostly been quiet. It's so weird. I remember during the Trilogy, it felt like the band were doing interviews and such every other week. This time it was like one month of excitement and the nothing.

You know what I'm going to say B R A T W U R S T
