We don’t know when the photo was taken…

That brings up the potential documentary thing that was discussed in the past again. I'm still not sure what to expect. Is it just the album, the documentary or both? Or documentary with accompanied soundtrack full of new songs? Judging from all the teasers we got over last year, it once again sounds like the same three - four power chord punk rock songs, but even after all these years I'm still excited like a baby. I'm really putting all my hopes in the fact Rob's back.

Apparently GD said at Innings they'll be touring next year. So new album will drop anytime between now and then!

Billie looked great at soundcheck (excuse bad quality screenshots from TikTok)

We knew that, he was in the teasers from last year at the studio

So up until the other day I thought the album was already done despite the rumors that they were still working on it. They had that video of them with CLA last year but this new video makes me think that they're definitely still mixing at least. If Billie got that as a birthday present then that means he got it very recently, and CLA posted a pic of him and Billie yesterday with Billie's new blonde hair, so it's a recent picture. I'm not sure how much mixing is left but then there's still mastering and production of merch, so I definitely think we're months away from hearing a new song. They'll probably do their usual routine of a late summer single with radio and TV promotion and some one off shows, then maybe do a small run of theater shows, and then go big with the touring in 2024

Quatro! I genuinely enjoy that documentary with all heart.

Desperate, but not hopeless. We feel so useless in the 1972 project speculation thread 🎶

It means he dyed his hair.

confirmation they have been working with CLA again? https://at.tumblr.com/stgloria/710266789015207936/hygzbmvdkylt

Oh guys listen to the end of the video. Tré says that Chris Lord-Alge "got a pretty good present this year" from Billie too. So maybe he means a pretty good album? https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpHA4ncqrPd/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Love the burning drum kit part. That may actually mean something.

Didn’t Billie also say something in Europe about not being back until next summer? Maybe they’re touring Europe/World first this time and will do the States in 2024.

I think every one of the three has its great moments, so it's really difficult to pick 😄 Tré was the first one I heard of them, so it's kinda special to me. But if I had to decide, I think it would be Dos

I'm an outsider, outside of everything

Sanity Loan probably has the album already

Blonde at sound check!

I always felt like '1972' is the name of the documentary/film and new album's name is something else.

Yep, that’s exactly where my thoughts went too.

So they said "See you next year" but they have a show in July in Milwaukee and When We Were Young in the Fall. So logically they probably meant "See you [Arizona] next year."

Probably Tré for me. I so overplayed Uno!

What if the album is called 2004 instead?

I thought he said that in Asbury Park, NJ, “It’s going to be a long time until next summer!”

More likely 2024.

Billies hair is blonde again. Doesn‘t that mean something? 😬

Thank you, I’m on the mend. No Green Day surprises but been watching lots of classic videos from my couch. Wrigley Field Press Conference last night. Damn that is still hilarious

Aint watched this video for ages. Really love this. I wonder if those watching at the time realised what was coming. Can't get over the guys walking past oblivious to the sound of a band that would change our lives and we would fall in love with.

Key in Green Day on Google, and on members section Billie Joe plays harmonica only. 🙄

Something interesting to think about!

Cool!!!!!!!

So maybe a single by summer ?

I think now a release in September/October is more likely. Album release in fall and tour begins in Spring 2024 (and maaaaybeeeee superbowl). But I'm very sad that my theory with the new song at Inning was wrong (like all my other theories so far).

I speculate there will be a lyric about ice cubes. Possibly iced coffee. And I am still confident it's got a mostly blue cover. My source tells me it will NOT be released before yesterday.

This is really interesting. It looks like that the original mixing engineer Green Day wanted for American Idiot was Tom Lord Alge (Chris's brother), but since they didn't want to go to Miami to his studio, Tom recommended his brother Chris in LA, who by that point already mixed nimrod and some live stuff and was also Rob Cavallo's right hand. It's kind of weird. Tom was known at that time for mixing a lot of pop punk / alternative stuff like Blink 182, Sum 41, Goo Goo Dolls etc., so I guess that was the connection the band wanted. I'm glad that it turned out like it did in the end. CLA also got his first Grammy for American Idiot.

Pete is bass, Johnny is guitar

Perry, Gary, Pete and Johnny

You know somenthing...

Welp, there's yet another name I've been pronouncing wrong for decades. Lol

I like to think when I watch that that in only four short years they’d be on MTV and playing Woodstock and Madison Square Garden. Crazy!

There was no better time for WMUWSE to come out tbh. Billie was finally ready, and because it was only 3 years after and regarding the subject matter of the music video, people regarded it as a song about losing loved ones to 9/11 and the ongoing war. I regard it as the best song about grief, one of Green Day's best songs, and the best song Billie has ever written. (Although Whatsername is close.) Seeing it performed live too... no GD song hits as hard as that one.

Found some photographers who'd posted for Billie's birthday and thought would share here https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxS1_8rv9S/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/CoykKRONTDp/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/Coxd-RfuHqK/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/Coxa-uLNo5h/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxdRAHuoDk/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxPbnVuHRv/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxBzSTgWCl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
