I guess after you Kill Your Friends you have to go to Church On Sunday 😂 There have to be so many proto-songs in the vault like this that were deconstructed and rebuilt into new songs. It’s my theory it’s why he’s reluctant to release too many old demos (he still might use them for parts) and here’s an example of one he was clearly done with so was okay to put out now.

found the first leak on youtube

I love Green Day 🥰

Freedom of speech is not freedom from social consequences for that speech. Nobody is calling for the arrest of bill maher. Nobody wants to send him to the gulags. People want him to change his views and be a better person. Short of that, people can and will criticize his fre speech with their free speech. The government can't censor someone for their religious beliefs, they can't stop the press from criticizing them, they cannot arrest you for speaking out. Society, however, can and should criticize those that cause harm to others. Harmful beliefs won't get you arrested, they will get you criticized. It's not cancel culture, this is how a society works. I would just like it for people to understand that nobody here appears to want to throw bill maher in a cell to rot. Using your freedom of speech to spread misinformation is an action worthy of criticism. This is my belief and I will use my freedom of speech to say as much.

I hope they make an announcement soon after they get the Nimrod release out of the way tomorrow

It'll be 2072 by that point.

It really is disgusting, he's a horrible person and this is the last thing trans people need right now. Constant lies and attacks from conservatives really do put trans people in danger. Obviously Green Day does not align with his views on the subject, but I wish they would make that explicitly clear after working with him for this project

Interesting... "DUI" is not "Tré Polka".

Interesting to see how two songs got birthed out of one. Very cool!

In case anyone had doubts about Bill Maher being a piece of shit regarding trans people, I just saw a clip filled with lies about trans/gender stuff being talked about to young children in schools. Lies like how instead of teaching kids about colours, they talk about pronouns and queer stuff, and that they're telling them they can identify as a tree. Schools aren't these far left institutions that these people are making them out to be. Kids are not being told "boys can menstruate" and "girls have penises". This misinformation is everywhere, there are even lies about schools putting litterboxes in bathrooms for people who identify as catgender. Like it's insane how many people just hear this stuff and believe it without even thinking about it

If you posted in this thread, your posts just might be in this video.

I never said he doesn't have the right to say it, but when it comes to free speech a lot of people seem to forget that words have consequences, and Maher is using his words to weaponize hatred towards transgender people in a world where we're (yes, I am trans) already struggling to survive. I'm just saying I'd expect more from Green Day, they're the band who will go on stage and chant "no trump, no kkk, no fascist USA", yet here they are working with someone who has similar views on trans people as these fascist conservatives. And I'm not using the word fascist lightly here, Billie will talk shit about Ted Cruz, whose state is trying to criminalize parents who let their children transition, even if it's just a social transition with nothing medical going on, Texas wants to take that child away from their parents. Texas also wants to make a list of all trans people in the state, that is some straight up Nazi shit right there. States all over the US are attempting to strip trans people of their rights, and honestly it makes me scared to travel, and I'm always hesitant to use a public restroom because conservatives are trying to convince women that trans people are only in those bathrooms to rape them. I'm just sick of all this shit and Maher is just adding fuel to the fire. How would you feel if Green Day contributed music to a show where the host has racist, homophobic, or sexist views? This shit is fucking absurd.

I just love how songs morph and change, great to get these demos. CD should be delivered by 11.00 tomorrow 🍾🍾

petermont: Great to run into this cat on Wednesday. We caught up on some mutual friends and some old times. He was very chill and nice and open to just talking, including about visual art. I don't know if this is always the case, yet for me Billie Joe has always been humorous and a gentleman. Really fun conversation that matched the mood as the sun has come out in Oakland after weeks of rain. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4g8dKLjSW/

Black Eyeliner is officially an early version of Church on Sunday, with the pre chorus being the exact same. The verse's melody also sounds identical to Kill Your Friends by The Longshot.

And then BAM! The single from the album drops.....

I've never been more bored. *Pokes Green Day* come on, do something!

Damn y'all really gave this thread 4 pages? You guys must be bored

Where did you order from? On Amazon mine still says arriving tomorrow by 11pm

I preordered off the Warner site and have it in my hands right now! Must have came this morning! (Plus I got the crewneck which I'm stoked for!)

He has the kindest eyes.

Nimrod release didn’t satisfy my Green Day itch. Need the new album ASAP.

Page 300. Only 300 more to go...

Black Eyeliner wow! Can't wait to call off work tomorrow and listen to this album all day long.

Black Eyeliner is a guitar only early version of Church On Sunday apparently. Holy fuck.

Total character assassination in a video that's supposed to be all about 1972, YES! Why? Because there's no one over there to get me back on topic, haha. You, @GDFan2019, @pacejunkie punk and maybe even @Hermione are getting positive shout outs, to be sure.

lol yes - I don't how else they could stretch it over 5 Lps (technically 4 and a half)

This is 100% what I want them to do too. They don’t have to do it, and they most likely won’t do it, but it would be SO good if they could call him out on his hateful transphobic bullshit.

on my sleepwalking eyes open wide--half awake and half asleep

There is absolutely no way that a band, or even an individual, could function to do anything if they refused to work with anyone who had ever said or done something they disagreed work. You may find his views his repellent but that’s free speech. He’s free to say it, you are free to say you think he’s wrong.

Black Eyeliner Hey, do you say Can I borrow some of your black eyeliner To make my eyes look just like yours Please, can you apply On my ----- Eyes open wide ----- Bloodshot deadbeat, lack of sleep Making your mascara bleed Slip down your face Leaving traces of mistakes Hey, what would you say If I ask to kiss you one last time again Is it even worth to try? If you can't reply Can I apply your black eyeliner one more time To make tour eyes look just like mine Bloodshot deadbeat, lack of sleep Making your mascara bleed Slip down your face Leaving traces of mistakes

The pre-chorus lyrics from Black Eyeliner/Church on Sunday are some of the best lyrics ever written by Billie in my humble opinion.

i'm listening to it too. The demos are amazing.

Welp the digital version of Nimrod XXV just released here in Australia since it's midnight of the 27th here. Having fun listening to the demos right now 😄

I think it's the original master, not sure though

Looks like someone's already got the vinyl boxset, but still no leak yet 😔

Here in full: Sounds great to me! 😍

At least another teaser next week

I wouldn’t stop living for anything less if I were you… 😂😂

I’m not saying they do or should agree with him, I certainly don’t agree with what you cite above, all I’m saying is that for better or worse, free speech works both ways. I believe part of the problem can be laid at the feet of the press and their hysterical reporting of these issues rather than calm and rational debate. We had a situation in Scottish education a number of years ago where sex educators in schools HAD to answer any child who asked that no, there was no such thing as gay sex because those were the rules for them at the time. When there was a move to modernise this clearly archaic regulation so that teachers could actually be helpful and inform, one side of the argument portrayed the change as virtually trying to convert children towards homosexuality which was clearly bonkers.

Page 1972!!!

1,972!

We could get to page 1000. Or more!

I'm in love with Place Inside My head

Please mention me for not wanting to be mentioned! also I’ve been blamed for being your burner account witch is BS!!!

When Billie said the album was probably coming in 2023 I took that as him saying “I know a lot of people expect this to come out before the end of 2022 but to be honest that’s not happening”

Love this comment: Haha. Somebody tell this joker that the title came from a James Dean poster that existed long before whatever shitty song they claim to have written.

When you think about it, the best things we’ve gotten since 2018 have been The Longshot and The Network. Not a whole lot of great output from Green Day, but the side projects have gotten us through

1972 is going to exclusively theme songs from that year's tv shows. I'm particularly excited about their take on All In the Family and Sanford and Son. Haha.
