I’m not a fan of Foo Fighters but they have a much more adept social media team than Green Day has. One week out from initial teasing they released a single and album announcement. Meanwhile, Green Day started teasing this project 16 months ago so now expectations are much higher than they probably should be. And we still have no clue when it’s coming. Sigh.

It took a day after the teaser. New song out now: https://fb.watch/j-E3hZHPmX/?mibextid=6aamW6 New album June 2nd

God I hate how Green Day approaches album releases. How are they still so bad at this?

Clearly the original 1972 that was recorded in London was a different project than what we’re getting now. The whole 1972 thing stopped around last August even though they continued working in the studio. I hope journalists are clued in enough when they interview them to ask what the story was and why this project seemed to evolve and take so long.

Energy level in this thread after 369 pages: Do something, Green Day!

Honestly, if I was them, with all the album announcements recently, I would delay my release too. Metallica, Ff, Blink, Rancid all within the rock genre, sure there are more too.

If they wait every other rock band to stop releasing shit to have the perfect window relese, this album will never come. Sucha shame for them... as I alwayssay, their mkt strategy is terrible, but this time they streched their boundries

Yes the hype being much much higher than it should be is a good talking point

You could say... ... it's been awhile

Hmm no comments in 8 hours where is everyone? Has the album come out and everyone's busying listening to it?

I'm personally holding on to pink. Pink is a good color, and the band has never been afraid to use it.

I just hope they’re not cutting anything and just adding on to what they recorded in London. All those teasers sounded so good!!!

Something will be announced when we hit page 372! 😂

AI to 21CB would like to have a word with you. That was an eternity.

Ahhhhhh now I’m back to I can’t wait instead of frustrated they’re taking so long. The idea of putting the year 1972 on a project made me think it might have been a retrospective record and maybe a little boring since the band has been recording and releasing records for so long they seem like basically detailed a detailed diary of times past in song form. Now I’m excited they may be out of the 1972 lane and the songwriting would be more about old and new and a wide array of interesting themes and stories. The Trilogy is still my fav record because of the risks and diversity of the songs compared to the entire Green Day album discography.

Makes sense. Because I would think since Mike didn’t make the first London trip and recorded remotely, they probably felt it wasn’t maximum Green Day firing on all cylinders, not being all in the same room together. And yes, they came to LA and I remember your daughter saw them at Henson. And then at one point they were able to go back to London with Mike. And also, if anything we heard in the teasers was scrapped, those teasers probably would’ve been taken down

i have the kerplunk converse!

It’s entirely possible. It could have been scrapped like C&V. But something tells me at least some of it if not all of it survived since they were using the 1972 tag through the time Rob came on board and they went back to the old AI studio.

New Staind song is solid. Hard to put aside Aaron Lewis’ extremist politics but art from artist I suppose.

this almost makes me feel bitter C'mon green day!

Such a Cool dude! Only saw him on The Mist besides the American Pie Movies.

One day left for 1972, or one more day with any sign of it. You can see it in a good or bad way.

off topic but I really love the "kerplunkie 🔫" caption it's very funny to me

It's from Turn It Around, nothing new.

They clearly changed their plans and the teasing was probably for the previous plan. All we can hope for is booze to be right.

Picked these up a while ago and kept forgetting to post. Japanese Shenanigans flyer and Insomniac store promo card Also got this poster with them (sorry about the rubbish photo) The guy also sent me a little bit of free confetti

Last night I dreamed that Green Day was the opening act for Frank Turner at a small show in the German city of Münster. The concert was announced last minute and would be the only one for a long time. I got in my car and started right away because I need 3 hours to get there. I was so stressed out and nervous. I don't know if I made it because I woke up before I got there. Man, I need a GD tour🥲

are we seriously debating if that bs is real?

Nothing new but still interesting. Richie Bucher, who did the Dookie's artwork, spoke about his time working for Green Day https://americansongwriter.com/the-story-behind-green-days-wheres-waldo-like-album-cover-for-dookie/
