This needs to be in here 🥰 From Facebook via sweetpeabella84 On a blind date here seeing Zepperella. They are so good and my date is so polite. People keep asking to take pictures with him. I’m not sure why but hey, it’s Hollywood. #jk #billiejoearmstrong #greenday #zepparella #plasticrhino #hollywood #losangeles #bourbonroom Mar 18, 2023 | Bourbon Room Hollywood

If this song is on the new album, then I’m seriously not interested in the rest of it and would think the whole crew has become completely out of touch with reality.

Thought these were also worth posting here. How does Billie look so young??!!

😍😍😍😍

I really like the trilogy and even think it has a lot of really solid lyrical ideas and themes in there but you absolutely can't say that the trilogy wasn't a severe drop in lyrical quality from AI/21CB. And RevRad's lyrics are nowhere near as deep or interesting as AI/21CB imo I agree with Miko that 21CB sort of broke Billie a bit. It was such a difficult album for him to make and with the middling success the album got, he probably didn't think it was really worth it to put the same amount of effort into the lyric writing. As much as people try to lump RevRad in with AI/21CB, it is just not the same in terms of the lyrical content, experimentation or creativity Idk if we really know anything about where HCTS came from. Maybe it was a leftover from FOAMF, maybe they recorded it afterwards. Idk, does anyone have a source on that?

I’m just kind of shooting in the dark here but maybe they’re in LA for rehearsals or something? I can’t really think of a reason that Kevin and Jason would be hanging around during the recording/mixing/mastering process, if the band was still working on the album. Also Billies Guitar tech Hans shared that post 2 weeks ago that looked like they were in a rehearsal space. That picture could have been taken before Tempe but I don’t see why he’d post it a week after the show. Just a thought though. Also, if anyone remembers going back to 2016 they were doing rehearsals a few weeks before they even announced Bang Bang.

Scrumptious. That's the first word that came to mind

Hopefully they’re learning and rehearsing the new songs for the next tour but it’s odd otherwise since there are no shows scheduled for months as of now

I can’t post pictures here but there are a bunch of posts going around IG and Facebook from a show last night in Hollywood (a Led Zeppelin tribute band) and from different posts and photos it looks like Billie, Kevin, Jason W and Rob Cavallo were there. So if they’re all hanging out I just wonder if they’re in LA for work reasons

Yes, the motion picture "Mark, Mary and Some Other People".

HOW does Billie look 30 omg

Chris Lord Alge posted a pic with Rob

Huh? It is one of their best albums — what would have him scarred?

That’s what I’m thinking they are up to. We had no idea in July of 2016, when Billie shared a pic from rehearsals, that they had tour dates planned for September. I guess what I’m trying to get at is when things start moving they start moving pretty quickly. They could have other dates easily planned for this summer and I feel like they could wait to announce them until the end of April or early May if they wanted to. I think that’s around the time when Blink 182 announced the California tour in 2016 and it started in July.

These were on one of the Italian fansites on Facebook (the post I saw doesn't say whose photos they are but might be the ones you mean)

When you go down a street out in the middle of nowhere called Armstrong Rd. and think about Billie.

Literally the only reason I kind of like that song is because Billie plays the piano on it, and that is a very rare thing to hear on any of their songs. Usually if a song has any piano/keyboard in it, that's Jason Freese. Granted, it's veeeery simple piano, but just the fact that it's Billie playing makes me fangirl a little bit because it's my favorite instrument.

We get results, dammit!!

Probably no hardcore fans like us there

This came up on Tumblr (stgloria) Birthday cake (from Kevin)

Holy Toledo was written specifically for a movie score wasn't it?

Still have HCTS on my spotify. Sadly.

A quick one is available on Apple Music (at least in germany). But I think it was only on iTunes as an iTunes Bonus Track and not physically released but I could be wrong

Well happy monday to you too, I guess! There's no need to be so serious about this thing and because this thread happens to exist and nobody knows the real reason it was taken out, it's fun to speculate about it and throw some obvious jokes about it. If you don't like it, then so be it. You don't have to participate in it. My OG posts point was to address that it's been a week since it was removed and it still hasn't been brought back. The joke was to say that clearly this means that it's gonna be on next album. Hopefully this was clear enough for you. Oh yeah, true. I totally forgot their NHL deal and yes, HCTS was part of that. Still, I highly doubt it will be forever gone. After all, it's a single from Green Day. Shitty single, but single nonetheless.

What’s the logic behind considering the possibility this will be part of the next record, let‘s not even mention considering it “confirmed”? There’s a difference between rumors, speculation, and pure non-sense random delirium out of boredom posted in a boring thread.

Pretty sure Green Day has never said a word about HCTS and Holy Toledo so there are no sources. It's just speculation and rumors.

Well, comparing Trilogy/RR/FOAMF songs lyrics to anything that is on AI or 21st Century Breakdown speaks for itself. As for songs themselves, they're still Green Day. They can fuck around in studio and quickly make something that is a banger without thinking too much about it. HCTS wasn't leftover from FOAMF. It was just quick shitty song to put out during COVID-era for whatever reason. They did the same with Pollyanna and Holy Toledo and to no ones surprises, they only played Pollyanna live.

21st Century Breakdown was the last album they really worked on for years and years and polished everything and so on. It took a huge toll on him and he talked about more in-depth about it in various interviews and most notably on Audible's ''Welcome to my panic'' episode. Seeing what kind of albums they have made ever since 21st CB.. yeah.

I doubt it, otherwise they would have remove it outside of EU, too. A few bands released singles years before the album release and didn‘t remove it (Coming for you by The Offspring for example).

Hella Maga tickets were sold much more in advance because they had larger venues I think. It takes more time to sell 40,000 tickets than 15,000. And I think it's likely that a Green Day tour for the new album will be played and smaller venues than Hella Mega.

Worst case scenario: here comes the shock really is on the next album Wouldn't mind pollyanna to much tho

No photos of them at least but that’s not really the point. They could have been in LA together for work and then a bunch of them went out that night. Jason doesn’t live in LA for example so just interesting they are all there.

But can we really expect a documentary? They did it for AI for sure but released it later. These younger versions can be actors for shooting an extended music video where they represent the early days and their career which leads to the present days or something. Maybe they started shooting back where they took the photo with them but the album wasn‘t finished so they hold it back for the right time to release. But I think the silence is a good sign because they have nothing to post in the studio. Just keep an eye on Billies Insta profile. He‘ll come back for the album

July announcement/august single/October release

I'm with @pacejunkie punk this is spot on and it's a benchmark to work with. Even if March does not work out, a positive view of an April announcement would realise the popular view of an October release. Sorry I'm confused. Wouldn't they have to have finished recording before arranging the album's tour, considering what's involved form the above list? You wouldn't want to rearrange dates if there's an unscheduled delay to the album release maybe?

Random person online: *claims to be An Insider* Literally everyone who follows this thread:

Throw me a frickin record

I’ve taken out a loan on it for the redemption of my soul.

Looks like the ¡Uno! cover

I mean Billie's gotta bring back the red and black striped socks, right?

Hahahaha, we haven’t even started on Billie’s hair, that topic alone can run for pages 😂😂😂 I don’t want to burst your bubble, and I feel like I keep saying this but he said either possibly or probably this year.

Omg! I see a likeness. Especially in the 2nd picture. ❤️

Or they weren’t asked to play. I can’t stress this enough: “gonna be a long time until the weather is warm again”. That’s all it meant, bro.

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