With a good software you can actually see the words pretty easily !! I used mine from work and it's definitively a song !!! The words are in the spoilers for those who don't want to know the lyrics before the release.

I’m not sure I believe you…

On second thought, it looks more like a song layout Intro Verse 1 Chorus Verse 2 Chorus Instrumental Break Chorus Verse 3 Chorus Outro

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

after the (disastrous) foam output i really hope they get back to what they are capable of, i dont want to get me too overhyped but so far it seems we are in for a treat indeed cant wait to hear the first single and see the album cover and i hope there is another gem like jos, drb, forever now

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

Billie found it in the river of a shadow of doubt and it was dressed up in its Sunday best.

Usually them mixing is a good sign it’s done - it’s best to mix a whole album at once

I say we get a single in September, the album in October at the earliest, or Tré’s birthday in December at the latest Just like ¿Viva La Gloria? ( Little Girl) And for all we know any 2 of the 1972 teasers could be 2 parts of the same song!!! Just like this!!!

Thaat was great. When you put it all together like that we really have a lot of different audio clips. It will be interesting to go back later at a time when these songs will sound familiar and we'll be able to go "oh this was this song" or "this was that song". It's like a little puzzle right now. And that they began dropping last year

I think you can claim an elusive victory here - this is def what it looks like

I wouldn’t say FOAM was disastrous. It was good, I really liked it, but it just wasn’t maximum Green Day

170 bpm he mentioned at 100 bars is just under 2:20

How do we know it's done?

I think it’s all old the album is done

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

Had a dream that 1972 was just a nine minute song where tre sings for 6 minutes about how good is eating eggs and mushrooms wtf

Still find it hard to believe with this many teasers that it won't be out this year.

Inspired by @StillBreathing's video, I put this together with missing parts and new clips. Thanks, @StillBreathing

It would make sense, given the conversation between Rob and Billie was about the song's arrangement

Yeah and that's the issue I have with it, the almost thirsty search for dirt or anything that might distort a band's perfect image (which, if a band has existed for long enough, there almost always is). Also, I often get annoyed more by people who idolise celebrities, expecting them to be some kind of angels or above normal human behaviour, rather than about some of the stupid shit celebs actually get up to (when it's genuinely minor things ofc). Also, where do these people get the time or motivation to conduct such meticulous "research"? I couldn't give a shit tbh However, yeah, if you wanted to dig up "dirt" on Green Day (or stuff that would look bad, certainly out of context), you definitely could. On the other hand, I wonder how great the effect of any given "cancelling" these days would be, especially on TikTok, because it seems to me, as a mere layman of course, that unlike previously (because people have been "cancelled" for decades or even centuries), when someone is cancelled today, in a lot of cases they simply shift demographics or the demographic that cancelled them is fairly irrelevant to them anyway. Yeah, certain people will stop supporting them, but others will continue to do so, or even start supporting them. So, I think the numbers are either largely unaffected or eventually even out. There's no universal banishment, so to speak. It's certainly the sense I get with a lot of actors or other celebs that have been "cancelled" lately. I mean, you keep seeing "cancelled" celebs going on book tours, giving interviews, selling stuff etc. They're clearly doing fine. It's not a partisan issue either, because I think the numbers showed that right-wing boycotts of companies such as Nike and Gillette because of their ads often backfired and actually increased revenues, partly because the controversy raised their profile and partly because others did like the message. In the case of Green Day, I don't know how many gen z'ers actually go to their concerts anyway. There's always been a saying that people in their late 20s or 30s (even 40s) are often a better demographic for musicians, because besides paying for concert or festival tickets (that aren't always cheap), they're also more likely to splash out on merch or other fan products, due to a larger disposable income. But all this has made me rather curious as to what dirt TikTok would dig up on the guys given the chance

What? I had to google this, because it had passed me completely by. Honestly, as someone born in the 90s, but who falls into either the gen z or gen y camp, depending on the definition you use, I gotta say that I like a bit of tongue in cheek boomer bashing like anyone else, but I also sometimes don't get my generation AT ALL. I mean, what goes on on TikTok is beyond me ngl.

I‘m pretty sure we get a documentary or something. At least a making of for YouTube or maybe an extra like „Quatro“ by pre-order. The quality is too good just for a TikTok (not really shaky). Probably depends on how good the album will perform the charts.

I'm hyped!!!

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

At least 101 bars

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.

I want to see him skate also, it’s so funny to me that it looks like he used the gif of himself

Man, they'd finish a lot quicker if they'd actually record music instead of playing on their anti-social meeeedia. #operation no control

Beg your pardon, what's that about my BALL?

I knew someone would eventually post a close-up pic of what was on the stand. I love our investigative skills lol

Yeah, Cher Strauberry is a skateboarder and singer in the punk band Twompsax from Oakland. Not sure what Billie is specifically congratulating her on but she's badass and it's nice to see him supporting her. This is a decent article if anyone wants to learn more: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-12-04/cher-strauberry-and-twompsax-on-validation-trans-joy-and-refusing-to-be-tired

Yeah, I don’t think it actually matters if tiktok kids get mad about something. They’re in fact a minority and don’t really have that much influence, plus they aren’t a demographic that makes money. But I just think it’s an interesting shift to how this generation approaches music and the culture around it. I would say that a lot of tiktok trends are rooted in nostalgia (grunge fashion, sovietwave, Running Up That Hill etc), but at the same time it doesn’t seem like there’s actually a way to capitalize on that for artists from that era because (they’re too boomer and problematic for that) the nostalgia is for the aesthetic not the actual culture of that era and that’s fascinating to me, I don’t think my generation was like that 10/12 years ago. Like, I don’t think anyone cared that much. No! We can’t give the kids any ideas

and can we agree the single isn’t even the best song on the CD… right? RIGHT?!?!

what did the little shits do to Metallica???

What on earth does that mean? Did I miss something?

Cautiously optimistic. I dunno, guys

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

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

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 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??

They are 100% not in chronological order

It looked to me like he was letting her know that he bought her skateboard design

I wonder if it’s even possible for a rock band to have a rennaisance in the current climate. I mean, gen z listened to master of puppets and now Metallica is canceled.

There was a post a while back I think that Rob had said it was done and just being mixed and that was back in May I think But he said it was almost a perfect take so it might have been near the end

The new video is exciting! I have a feeling they might make some sort of announcement next month and then maybe single release in October? They've been busy this summer with festivals and touring but surely something will happen this Fall. They've been teasing forever it seems like, and we're getting a bit antsy...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.soundonsound.com/music-business/henson-recording-studios-los-angeles%3famp Isn't this Henson? EDIT: It is!

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.

FF isn't rock? Well pinch me. Coldplay definitively isn't.

Elvis Costello just announced a thing that I wish Green Day would do. He’s doing ten shows at the Gramercy Theater in New York. Before each show he’ll release half the setlist and the rest will be a surprise but that night’s reveal will be a clue to what type of show that night will be. He won’t play the same song twice so he’s doing 200 songs in ten days. There will be discounts for multiple nights. Now what fan wouldn’t love that? If Green Day did this, fans would go to every show. Funny related note is Weezer had a five night residency on Broadway planned for September, and they just had to cancel it for low ticket sales. The ticket prices were outrageous and fans couldn’t afford multiple nights plus travel and hotels. They were going to do a night each dedicated to a different SZNZ EP and a fifth night of hits, but it seems that wasn’t enough of a draw to fill each night. Maybe they should have done it somewhere other than a Broadway theater like Elvis doing. But I would love for Green Day to get creative with their touring and do something really special like this. If they sell out a small venue in minutes, they could do a week or more of shows at a small venue and allow more people to get tickets.
