hey guys, if you want to watch GDs show at german Rock am Ring festival you can do so here: https://www.tvnow.de/live-tv/events i dont know if you need to register first or if anyone can watch it without registration (but its completely free) GD starts friday ~22.30 german time

Let’s be honest. They’re recording in 3 different studios. We’ve heard 5-6 different songs thus far. It’s an album. Finish it in July after the tour. Mix it late summer, November release date for the Grand Prix F1 performance

Switch out a song on the set list? I enjoy posting crazy theories on GDA, but this is absolute infinite lunacy. Green Day changing their set list.....I'd sooner believe pigs flying. 😄 But it would be nice.

„England is now the official home of Green Day for now on“ - Billie already said it in 2005 in Bullet in a Bible 😅

This one is beautiful.

What?! But in Chicago Billie said the city could adopt him. I guess the papers never went through 😮‍💨

I just met him in Berlin with his big hat on 😭

Aw, let’s support him and pretend we don’t see it 🫣

"Fried"

Thanks! I'm gonna upload the full thing on Youtube this saturday

We’re both empty nesters, it’s hard to know where to settle until your kids are settled somewhere so that’s all it is

No, apart from the fact that I don't know how anyone with such views can be a Green Day fan when it goes against everything they've always stood for, the posts are simply off topic.

No way was I reading that shit. Reported.

the guitar does look kind of fried

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he was eating chicken when he posted and merged the two thoughts.

Utopia stage day 1 if they bring me up on stage for knowledge i will give kudos to gdc 😄

I wonder if 1972 will feature Bill, Micheal and Frank on the front. Not so much trilogy but perhaps a lazy, Warning style picture. Or the Warning cover, but with a real life Pukey walking beside the band!

Okay fair but after the surprise Superbowl set we can’t complain too much. They like to spring it on us when we don’t expect it.

I guess Billie never got my letter that all I wanted for my bday was anew Green Day song ☹️

I feel like Billie mentioned something about wanting to move to the UK years ago too, but obviously that never happened. I agree with @jengd. I think Billie's got that kind of brain that wanders between ideas all the time, whether he acts on them or not. They're all over in Europe right now anyway because of recording and getting ready for the next tour leg, so that may be as "semi-permanent" as it gets.

I only read the first post of this thread (being the magazine scans). How the fuck are we talking about abortion, republicans and liberals in a Green Day Kerrang thread?

If you believe that the only time abortion is ever ok is rape or incest, then we're not living in the same reality. But you say that people don't know the stats on abortion, well that's the same for right wing people too because most right-wing people seem to think that everyone who's getting an abortion is getting a late term abortion when late term abortions are very uncommon and when they do happen is more often than not done if needed to save the mother's life or for some other reason outside of the parents control. Also interestingly, most anti-choice right-wingers are also opposed to giving free contraceptives (which would reduce abortions) and abortions are at their lowest under democratic presidents so if you actually cared about reducing abortions, there's your answer There is a clear connection between gun control and less gun deaths. The only reason violent crimes might be high in some places that have gun control in the US is that people bring guns from another state where gun laws are minimal. Outside of the US where guns are uncommon, there aren't school shootings. Yes, people can still kill other people but you can't just go into a school and kill 20 people with a knife. If these very frequent mass shootings aren't enough for you to go "you know what this is really fucked up, I like guns but we need to do something about this so that these evil monsters aren't able to get a gun", then idk what will Regarding liberals voting for Joe Biden, lesser of 2 evils. There, that's the argument. It doesn't matter what the republicans say, any republican president is just gonna be worse in terms of giving tax cuts to rich people, especially if there's a majority republican house/senate. You can say whatever shit you want about Biden, he sucks. But voting republican is never going to be a better alternative. Also Bernie advocating for rich people to pay their fair share and owning multiple homes is not hypocritical. Tax him, I'm sure he'll be completely ok with that. He's never said that people shouldn't be allowed to own multiple properties Healthcare is perfectly affordable if the US stops spending trillions of dollars a year on the military, war, tax cuts for the rich, overfunded police (who do nothing when there's a school shooting happening so what's even the point)

Two of the most important people in my life wouldn't be in my life if they didn't have their abortions. That's all I'm going to say about that absolutely ridiculous statement. anyway! Thanks for posting the scans. Can't read through the whole interview rn since I'm a bit sick, but I love the photos and the magazine cover is super cool.

No one knows the terms of their (new?) contract. But I think that’s more a matter of Crush release/marketing strategy, rather then contractual obligations.

Based on the Kerrang article, it seems like its only the album. I don't think they would freely mention the album, but keep an EP a secret.

The reason the US is in such a bad state is because of the republicans in power. The democrats aren't doing what they should be doing but the Republicans are actively making life worse for people. Abortion rights are threatened because conservative supreme justices are voting against it, republicans in the senate are the ones that vote against anything good like gun control, stimulus checks, infrastructure, minimum wage, healthcare

Last comment before it gets too offtopic: I think the US election system is more like „voting against a certain candidate“ than „voting for a certain candidate“. That‘s the problem when there are only two (major) options to vote for.

Sorry these photos aren't great but I can read them (will try to get a better photo of page 6 where the light is shining on the text) Here is the link to my Tumblr post. Please credit if using these photos https://thisisjoy.tumblr.com/post/685507666847629312/these-arent-great-quality-photos-but-heres-the

Ha I know I know, I would never write that on his actual post or anything. Just thought it was funny

I’d like to see if someone can catch a soundcheck like those lucky fans in 2010 that recorded Stay the Night and Dreamcatcher!!!! Maybe we’ll get to hear some 1972 songs!!!

Announcing singles weeks in advance doesn't really seem to be a thing anymore. We know nothing of the sort. Again, I don't think we're getting a single soon BUT I also would not put stock into 'how things have been done in the past' because again, we're in uncharted territory for Green Day.

We’d probably know about it by now. And for a single off the new album, they’d probably announce it weeks in advance. It’s not going to be just some one-off single they’re randomly putting out

There is still a (very slim) chance that we get a single this week if they do want to switch out Pollyanna for these shows. But I'm not counting on that being the case.

When they're one of the only things that make you happy right now.

Yes please! I’m going to Lolla to see them!

Agreed. Living in America is not cheap. Not to mention wherever you move is likely to have a much better healthcare system than the U.S.

I vote for this. I’ll be at that show I want to hear some new songs 😊

At the time both his kids were in NY, working and in school so I think that was why he said that but plans changed when they dropped out and moved back West. So now Joey is in London and he wants to move there.

For anyone without Instagram I think he's trying to film his reflection

boomer night out

From Billie's Instagram story (for those without Instagram). I think he's trying to film his reflection in the bowl

The tour ends on July 2nd so I’m hoping for a single before Lollapalooza on the 28th!!!

I wanted to ask him about 1972 but got nervous and just blanked out lol. They were leaving in a bit of a hurry so I didn't want to bother. Greg was recording us with his phone, maybe they'll post some of it on Tiktok...

If you're pro-life, your goal should be reducing abortions. Voting republican is not the answer to reducing abortions Yes, terrorists would be far less likely to kill people without a gun. Maybe they would still kill people but the amount of people to die would definitely be much less. Idk how you can look at the rest of the world where gun culture is nowhere near what it is in the US that combined have a fraction of the mass shootings and say that gun control doesn't make a difference (or that it can even increase violent crime, like where's your source on that??) Donald Trump is not just an "asshole" and for you to say that is really concerning. Do you not think that Trump increasing drone strikes during his presidency to well above the numbers of the Obama administration is more than just being an "asshole"

Could just be they were giving us a look inside the process with no real timeline in mind. Mildly disappointing on one hand, but builds the anticipation on the other.

Billie can live wherever the hell he wants, he isn't a politician and it's not his job to fix the US. And where he lives has no bearing on how much he can do to affect change.

“Other countries have their problems too but I don’t know about them” is such a US stereotype

Billie says the new album will likely be out in 2023
