for anyone that hasn’t got tik tok / refuses to get tik tok

OMG this is the best tease yet!!! I like what Billie is explaining about the song having dynamics and again the comparison to AI with Letterbomb

If rock died in the 80s, then how is Green Day even a band, let alone one that was not so long ago considered the biggest band in the world? Sure, Rock isn't as popular now as it has been before, but in my opinion rock will never die, not as long as guitars, drums and bass are still a thing.

guys i think there making an album, idk though...

Great one and… whoever is posting these is having a lot of fun with the hashtags 😂

A Green Day song? With dynamics? I hope it doesn’t get compressed to hell! I like what I’m hearing… I never want to make guesses based of a few seconds of music but I’m excited.

I hope all these videos lead into a documentary about the record

They all seem to really care about every aspect of this record. It's really good to see. I'm glad they're using AI as a reference too because in terms of production and dynamics, it's gotta be one of if not the best quality album they've done. I'm keeping my expectations in check though. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed again.

And it better not be a streaming exclusive. I want a DVD/Blu Ray!!!!

Just hearing Billie's little guide vocal for this song gets me so excited for this music. I want a single!

I think the teasers are not in chronological order, why should they still record vocals when CLA ist already mixing? 😅

I refuse to get the app because of that and I really don't care about the content. My bf watches lots of YT shorts, which is often just TikTok reuploads, and just hearing the BS people spout on there makes me scream in my head WHO CARES????? I don't care about whatever thing you did today!!! UGH! It's not worth shifting through so many vapid videos to find some comedy gold to me.

Bro I need that single soon or im going to lose my mind

I put this in the 1972 thread too because wow what a glimpse into the recording process. This is amazing What is with all these random tags though? Eric Clapton? Kid Rock??

Clearing some stuff off my phone and found these which I don't think I've posted Poland 2017 Italy 2017 Brussels 2017 Some others from the Hella Mega North American Tour 2021

This is my favourite third verse of Good Riddance 😄

Yeah I don’t even want the app. That’s just a gateway drug and they know it 😄

Probably because all those artists recorded at this studio

At least 101 bars

I love Letterbomb. Letterbomb is a great song. Please let it be a song like Letterbomb.

Trying to clear some stuff off my phone and found these which I must have saved to put in this thread. There's so many talented fans out there https://instagram.com/green.day.drawings?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= From @sebaspix on Instagram. Can't seem to find the account again now https://instagram.com/charlie.themay?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/wixsteria_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Yeah but those were posted on Instagram

2 teasers from deleted Billie's story are missing. Thanks though! This made me realise how heavy sounding some songs are

I was in Cleveland yesterday and saw Tré's post as I was getting on the highway heading home. Goddammit. The Vault is the bar inside the hotel we stayed at for the rock hall induction! I told @JardyOfSuburbia that if it was Billie or Mike I probably would've turned around. Sorry Tré!

Same! I always jump over to gda cause I know they’ll be reposted anyway, it’s better that way

Yeah at the moment I'm defo still refusing to get TikTok Especially as long as someone can post here

Some screen grabs from an old Green Day RevRad live (August 2017)

Some shout outs and screen shots of GDA in there, as this cringe YouTuber wanted to give credit where credit it due. Also, that giant pink rabbit is freaking me now. Burning lights and blackouts. Oh oh.

Maybe I’m just salty cos they seem to be everywhere all the time and to me they aren’t as good as GD. I’m tired hearing about the saintly Dave Grohl! Sorry @The Grohl

I randomly heard Dreamcatcher… it’s actually a good example of a song that isn’t musically anything new, but it’s so tender that it doesn’t matter

Yeah they’re just posting different clips from the backlog, but the clip they’re posting isn’t where they are or what they’re doing that day

Order that they were posted in or order that the content happened? I think a lot of what was posted was completed earlier and maybe posted out of order of when the scenes took place.

This one is missing too Things could still be added at last minute. like Murder City from 21CB, recorded and mixed just 1 month before release.

You can view on the app without an account still, you just can't "like" or comment. That's what I do, because, I too, refuse to get another social account.

I honestly believe Billie would like nothing more than to show up somewhere random with Green Day (not a side band/covers thing) and play a show but he can’t because it’s all contracts and security and management and rules. If this hella tiny tour ever happened it wouldn’t be tiny by the time it was done with promoters, Ticketmaster, venues, merch, etc.

I think this is another of those things he’s gonna hype up for a while and then nothing comes out of it

Jake was at the festival last week and took these photos. He talks about it in the video he posted

A career spanning collection, with the band going into the studio to beef up and perfect B-sides that would have otherwise never seen the light of day, culminating in a bonus album called 1972! And THEN.....while the entirety is FUMING over it not being a new album, ANOTHER green day album blasts into existence out of NOWHERE. They release the 1972 sort of under the radar and promote the ever loving snot out of the new album. OH YEAH. Possible.

I mean I'm not even talking about musical quality but FF are a heavier sounding band than Green Day generally. I definitely wouldn't say they're on the light side of rock

🤭😂 I'm not a huge Foo's fan but I don't hate them. I hear you though!

I'm curious if the old footage they're posting on TikTok is related to this at all. With that plus the whole "1972" thing, it seems we might get something that is reflective of their whole career. I don't know what shape that would take, but have to imagine the two things are related. Oh, and the "2,000 Light Years Away" AI-driven stem creation thing.

It pains me that mainstream considers Imagine Dragons peak rock these days.

I dont know maybe they are fine where they are now. As long as they still headlining Festivals and play big shows. They are known for putting on great shows and everyone seeems to enjoy these shows, even when people say they dont listen/like them, they enjoy the shows. and yeah, RevRad didn‘t perform that bad on charts, but should have get more attention. It‘s still one of the best records in my opinion.

More than accolades or popularity, I just want it to be good. I want the boys to surprise me, to move me emotionally, I want an album with gravitas. Something that I can live with and continue to listen to and think over. I want the album artwork to be, well… art (looking at you FOAM). I want an album that feels like it means something to the band itself.

Just putting a theory out there... In the video from August 6 where Billie Joe is wearing the top with 1972 on the back of it there is a book on the table. The book is called "too fast to live, too young to die." The book features post punk graphics from 1976-1986. Only the "too fast to live" part of the title can be seen on the video. Maybe "too fast to live" is the name of a song. Or the album artwork could be an image from within the book. It could even just be them teasing that they are returning to their roots because it literally covers the period up until sweet children were formed.... Either one of these or I've wasted a chunk of time this afternoon

I'm critical of the sets as much as a lot of you, but in Hella Mega/Festivals everything is staged. Pyros, lightning, visuals, backing tracks, everything song by song. They can't even alternate songs without notice. Sure it feels rushed, but they are trying new things (at least with a full staged show, they had in the past but not at this level where every song has something added, closest thing would be the American Idiot era shows at certain degree) Besides they are trying to capture a new audience again, so everything is the safest ever. Should they play different things? Sure, they can and proved so with the Metro show, but at the same time we must try to understand what the band is trying to do. Boring for us, the harcore ones, but I bet they will get loose with time

At the hospital today I saw a guy wearing a "Flat Earth Society" t-shirt and so you know the Network song came into my head

That’s one song I’d like to see back on the setlist
