I love this. Green Day insider vs Green Day insider.

I still thank God for that every day

Absolutely. Punks like us can say punk, but non-punk creatures cannot.

I’m still confused. But it’s ok! We’ll get music when we get music.

I think that was a joke based on the PG lyric (West Side Highway) that they both sing. In reality, Aaron (Cometbus) Elliott, the songwriter is the one that’s Jewish.

FOAM, yes but oh so cute!

It doesn’t make sense because your misreading what I said. Billie made mention of the EP of leftover songs which was obviously scrapped. Walker said he was heading to the studio soon to work on the new GD album which obviously didn’t happen and they did move on to bring back Cavallo to work on the new album. I never said I thought they were recording old foam songs in the studio and don’t know how saying they “moved on from those songs” would lead you to think that.

absolutely NO cringe marketing this time that foam billboard still pisses me off to this day

Bang Bang is one of their worst songs (It's funny whenever people speak of RevRad I often see comments like "Album is OK but Bang Bang is one of the best singles of all time, whereas I'm the opposite. I love that album but always skip that song OH BY THE WAY when it first came out I really liked it...... ) Thanks for listening

That's kinda how I read it retrospectively, yeah

I do a lot of records by myself, and I’m finishing up (producing) three records, so it’s taking most of my time – a Wallflowers record, the new Jewel and Matt Nathanson. And I’m getting ready to start another Green Day record (Walker co-produced the band’s current “Father of All…”). I’m working in isolation, which is cathartic, anyway." I think that this is what he is referring too and thank god it never happened haha.

The word itself is not a slur, it’s the context

Oh yeah true

Do you have a source on them being Jewish?

I'm not expecting any trap beats. But I don't see a problem with features if they're good artists who work well with Green Day

It’s a gorgeous, tender cover of an already great song. Not sure if it’s just me but I get RHCP vibes from it. Could it have been a hit if they released it? Maybe. But what a beautiful version, glad we finally have it

They toured EU and Uk in June 2022.

God, just please no songs featuring other artists, trap beats or a self titled album name trend and I'll be the happiest Green Day fan 🙏

Jason is a good source and his recent info is reliable but this particular comment is pure speculation from a month ago and not fact

Well, he said himself "If I had to guess" i would take it with a very fine grain of salt In saying that Jason is a good source

Sorry but did you read his original post? He was quoting what he genuinely thought was a line in the song and saying wtf/questioning it. He was calling it out. Quoting a line with the word Jew in it, in order to question whether it's being used offensively, isn't antisemitism. Green Day have quite a few lyrics that could be interpreted as being offensive if taken out of context or being heard by someone who doesn't speak English as a first language for example (Holiday and American Eulogy come to mind) so it's not unreasonable to not immediately assume that wasn't the lyric. It's good that you've pointed out if that was the lyric it would be an antisemitic one. But now he knows that isn't the line so there's no need to keep discussing it.

Anyone else getting Weezer vibes from this cover? I can totally hear Rivers Cuomo doing this.

It is a stereotype based on Jewish people and money do I really need to explain this?
