I’m pretty sure that 1985 date is just the time and date on that equipment’s system, and they aren’t bothered to set it.

But there's no return from 85

Maybe 1972 will not be a CD but a floppy disk. I would buy this!

All analogue record could be amazing.

After RevRad let make a floppy disk on fire.

Wasn’t Tre supposed to come out in January and when the tour got canceled they moved it up to December to give the fans something? I agree December 23 seems like an odd release date so close to Christmas when the industry is probably shut down and since the 1985 date appears to be random I’m going to assume Dec 23 is too.

I have heard from a very unreliable source that they heard from a very reliable source that we will be getting an announcement… in September. With an EP to follow in February.

Just got an email from Green Day that has this to say about the Oakland Coffee subscriptions: The new subscription includes coffee for the year, first dibs on a special numbered edition of our next vinyl that’s coming featuring a special color for Oakland Coffee Club subscribers (more on that from them soon).

December 23rd 1985 Birthday: Harry Judd, British drummer (McFly), born in Chelmsford, United Kingdom and Luke O'Loughlin, Australian actor, born in Adelaide, Australia Death: James Vance (20) and Raymond Belknap (18) attempt suicide (Belknap dies). Their families later sue rock group Judas Priest for subliminal messages in song "Better By You, Better Than Me". It was a Monday. Is this info relevant? No. Am I happy to have showed it to you? Yes.

More likely the Kerplunk remaster

But Stewart and Lord Alge aren't even working with Green Day. Green Day's screen says Rob Cavallo, Chris Dugan, and Mark Aguilar. Same software maybe?

December 23rd is a Friday this year, which is when new music typically gets released. Maybe it’s a release date. Or maybe it means nothing. Kinda hard to tell with them.

1985? But the project is called 1972 🤔

It's 100% this

The Oakland Coffee site has more detailed info: "Get first dibs on a special numbered edition of our next Green Day vinyl*. Yep. You read that right. There's an (extra-rare) Green Day vinyl coming, featuring a special color for Oakland Coffee Club subscribers. On top of that, Annual Subscribers get priority access to 500 numbered vinyl. More details coming soon." It seems to be an old recording being released, just like the bbc sessions

No guarantee it's a NEW vinyl

We don't know that. CLA is a mixing engineer; his work is typically done post studio, whereas Dugan etc. are present in studio with the band.

Sadly it's what most people want to see especially these big Hella Mega dates. Not us on here obviously but probably 90% of the crowd

What if the album is a concept album following someone through different periods of their life (seemingly in 13 year increments), 1972, 1985, 1998, 2011 with each era being recorded using tech available at the time? We've only heard of them recording the first part and now being teased the second?

So this project looks pretty fucken interesting Obviously they've gone analogue Wonder if they'll do a Foo Fighters and include a bit of the original tape with the purchase of a CD

The only number that you can't return from is 86, and even that one is debatable. Green Day aren't even 86'd from Gilman anymore, ya know? This 1985 date is rather interesting. I'm going to ask 2 month old me if he remembers any Green Day or Sweet Children activity going on back then..... No. No he doesn't. Maybe 1972 has been so long in the making that its being called 1985 now, which would be awesome for those of us born in 1985. Or maybe Black Crowes beat them to the 1972 name and they are ticked off. A color band rivalry? Days beat Crowes, hands down. Or like we discussed before, maybe each song will be a different year or date.

If you listen closely, you can hear some music playing in the background!! Something from 1972 maybe?!?!?

I was giving an overview of the whole recording process because the person didn’t know

the recording process I know and understand, just the word 'tracking' that got me confused... just a language issue, no big deal The really must have changed their plans if they are now recording at Ocean Way. May a Foo Fighters type of album with songs recorded in different places. Would be really cool a multi part album, with different themes and sounds spanning their carreer

I'm speculating, but assuming that TikTok from a few days ago wasn't old, that was likely Tré tracking (recording) his drum parts. There are a lot of different ways to do this, but a lot of time the order of operations for tracking finals is drums, bass, guitar, and then vocals. So Tré's parts may be done and now Mike is tracking his bass parts against Tré's drums.

At this rate, they'll have to rename it 1973

I entered the sweepstakes, just for the hell of it. No purchase necessary

Oh yeah, they were recreating the stems for some reason according to that TikTok so that makes sense. 92-2022 is certainly a big anniversary.

It could be the story of A Christmas Carol, with St. Jimmy being dragged around to different time periods by a mysterious ghost driving a trans am. As he learns his lesson, Jimmy realizes he's been wearing a mask for as long as he can remember. Z and Underpants try and shoot him with X Ray Hamburger pistols but Van Gough and Fink run away and are soon joined by Snoo. They travel to 2022, meet up with some girls that just robbed a bank in Green Day masks and the whole group decides to unmask all at once. It's Green Day! The Network have been Green Day this whole time!!!! Meanwhile, Z and Undies are trashing Snoo's flat and screaming for revenge!!!

Yes, Tre was released early, not late.

Yeah not sure if it meant anything specific other than the fact that they’ve been focused on nostalgia for some time now, probably since RevRad really, that’s when with songs like Outlaws and TDTD I noticed them looking back more than looking forward. Musically FOAM looks back. So they’re still doing that particularly here with the 1972, turning 50 and growing up in the eighties thing. Both FOAM (album art) and 1972 (studio) are looking back to American Idiot.

One of those people will be on the album cover. Remember Weezer's Hurley? Just like that. Tre Cool will play drums like he's 13 years old and....Billie will once again be singing about guns. Judas Priest influences? Australian accents instead of faux-British? Interesting. Realistic. Want I want more than anything is some song titles. That is more important than actually hearing the songs themselves.

December 23rd, 1985?

So.. I saw a video of them in Oceanway with Rob Cavallo... Sounds promising! I've been wanting for them to go back there for a long time.

Now just waiting for Billie to post something.....

How do you get this from a picture of his bass?

They must be tracking finals at Ocean Way https://www.instagram.com/p/CdYrozZrUAR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Or judging by that TikTok video, hopefully sooner?

Don‘t think so. Rob Cavallo and RAK are far too expensive just to record demos..

1972 masters were stolen so they scrapped it, went to Ocean Way with Rob Cavallo and are recording American Idiot instead. Cue Homecoming! It’s deja vu all over again! 😂

I so hope we’re getting a documentary out of this! They’re shooting so much film 😍

Ahah Matt said FOAM and we were all trying to find the acronym meaning. Then Billie Joe fucked up and wrote #FOAMF on Instagram and we all knew what was the MF at the end.
