Look at that "top posters" right there! Third place? Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I've been around since the foxboro freaking hot freaking tubs era and you're gonna give me third freaking place? Third place only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades - you mother bleeper! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. WHAT THE HECK. I'M NOT @GDFAN2019, YOU MOTHERFREAKERS! THIS IS JOKE! THIS IS A JOKE. I GOT third place. I got third place, now I got nothing. Now I got nothing left. Wait, I'm still in third place. Let me show you what third place freaking means. God loves you all. I'll be back.

I can't stand his constant "let's go crazy" shouts before every damn chorus Oh the good ol days of spitting and calling everyone fuckin idiots and telling them to fuck off, how we miss you

And 10 straight minutes of “SAY HEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

230 pages of the same thing over and over again. I mean how can you almost have 1000 post and still don't bring anything interesting 😂

So i feel I've never made a true speculation on here, so this is what I think: The album will be 12 songs, with a run time of 45-50 minutes No song will hit the 5 minute mark. There will be one slow/ballad type song. The album will be released May 12.

“When we break back into this song I wanna see every body jumping up and down going crazy… BUT FIRST… I want every one here to scream HEEEYYY OOOHHH”

1972 Gonna be a banger

No now it'll be "I hate short songs" which is why he hasn't done anything from FOAM 😆

Even though its an old podcast, I'd missed the original issue date. So thanks for posting the links really appreciated it. You guys are amazing. If you want to find out anything about Green Day old or new, only this site can deliver. Love yer.

9 minute extended solo in American Idiot …. Followed by “Are you guys ready to sing along ?!?!? Are you ready ?? ARE YOU FUCKING READDYYYYYYYY” yes billie we’re ready

1972 will be filled with songs that are 7+ minutes long. Just wait for @That Dude to tell us the tracklist which contain 20 minute songs

Some of Kevin's pics were repeats or tourist shots so haven't included those Tré from @bubukittyfk

Sugar Youth would sound so good live and it's barely two minutes. Surely they can manage that?

I love how they’re all vaguely Billie

June Is Just a Journey Over the Fields To September as I Wake Up 47 Years Later. That's the title.

You're definitely thinking about this one. I could picture a beautiful piano and lush string section joining in!!!

Actually, every song is going to be exactly 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Even if the song isn't over, it will separate and be the beginning of the next track. So....I guess there will be 7+ minute songs, but they will be broken up into pieces. 😄 I hope they replace Mike Dirt with Van Gough. And revisit the scenery from the Boulevard of Broken Dreams video. Have a mechanic working on the car and have a Wizard of Oz style transformation of the world. Maybe in that reality, Jesus and Amanda can be together. Oh boy. Where did that come from? I hope 1972 is just code for something else. A placeholder title. My phone is at 72 percent.

Nah, 1972 will just be one big 45 minute song.

Well I’m sure everyone had a great time, but that was a long way to for a very short concert after it was cut!

He looks so good😍 Love these🥰🥰

Sara's pic is so cute...

It’s funny, I’m sure they could still find a way to turn this into a 90 minute set

Pillow princess

How in gods name would we know

Just play Take the Money and Crawl once and I'll be happy.

I'm definitely expecting a change for the 1972 tour. For all of their previous albums besides FOAMF, they played a majority of songs from their album for the following tour and FOAMF was only excluded because it didn't have its own tour. The Hella Mega Tour wasn't a "Father of All tour". I'm very confident that they will play 1972 songs live for their next tour. And I'm still confident that FOAMF will make an appearance on the tour in some way. Whether that be them just playing one song once or twice, having one song be played regularly on the tour, having multiple songs show up etc.

I was wondering If we will hear someday all these Network/Foxboro songs in previously Green Day versions I have already said that here, but I think the Hella Mega was made 'cause they want to bring more people to Green Day shows in future. So play all the hits in many festivals around the world was the best choice.

He looks beautiful here.

You beat me to it, very good. Billie will also spend a lot of time holding his arms up in the air and smiling like a deviant.

Billie with all his pillows 😄

Yeah realistically I don't think they would bother when they believe the audience wouldn't know it or love it. They want to promote new songs or play crowd pleasers.

I've always said the exact same thing. Just GD shows have longer setlist's. People did then point out to me that GD are getting older and are 'slowing down', so I guess we'll have to wait and see. (I personally don't like to hear this and stick my fingers in my ears and go 'la la la')! 🤣🙉

It would seem very unlike them to just mail it in, but a 10-track LP clocking in at the minimum, after a 4-year gap, sort of does beg the question. One thought I had was that maybe the songs put a lot of strain on BJ's voice. Imagine him yelping out FRA every night for 6 months or whatever before his vocal chords are just like "nope". They've also pointed out in the past that they don't write songs which can't be played live. That may well have been true up until this record- we all know there was plenty of experimentation on FOAM, and maybe that was the goal more than translating the songs to a live setting.

This at least was supposed to be a FOAM track

@GuitarPunk94 @Insomniac90 Interesting that you all feel this way. From what I could tell fans have been mixed. Some really don't like it. Some are into it, so I'm surprised to hear it's regarded as their worst. I have no idea how I feel about it. And I have no idea if they just didn't give a shit, but it's an interesting theory especially with Jim Roots recent comments. (But we can continue this in the Slipknot thread!) To keep this on track, I never bought the whole FOAMF is a troll album. I think this is just what they wanted to do and some fans got so upset that they took that album along with Billie's comments about their contract with Warner coming to an end to come to the conclusion that they must not care. That being said, it is strange they didn't include any FOAMF songs on tour. I wonder if that's because they knew it wasn't very well received.

I don’t think it was a troll or even a low effort album (well it was low effort in that it was 26 minutes long). But I do think they decided to experiment with a style they’re weren’t really comfortable with and didn’t care about the consequences because what would the label do? They could afford to take the loss on it so they had the freedom to be weird. They knew they weren’t making any attempt at a “comeback” or big hit record (which was why they almost called it American Idiot 2 and scribbled over AI for the cover - yes, that was undoubtedly a troll according to Billie himself)

It’s weird that Butch Walker’s defense as producer was “I just did what the band wanted!” when that is not really your job as producer. You need to be an impartial set of ears and tell the band what a song needs and how to make an album sound better. If you’re just doing what they tell you to do then what’s the point of you? A technical job is just an engineer.

He looks so good in red 😍

We've got the lovely red short sleeves again tonight (photos from Beffy Weiman on Facebook - PLEASE DON'T REPOST THE PHOTOS WITHOUT CREDITING BEFFY - thanks)

How can he be that cute?! 😵

😊

That is just, I mean, look at him…for heaven’s sake man, stop trying to kill us! Is there an award for Gif of the year, or history of the world? 😍😍🔥🔥💥💥 Waiting for “Billie Joe hit someone” tirade!

Just going to leave this one here...

He really was! So adorable 🥰

Misery is the most underrated Green Day song.
