Jeez guys, it was a joke.

Look who’s back!!! https://instagram.com/billiejoearmstrong?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Looks like Billie Joe has reactivated his IG account. https://instagram.com/billiejoearmstrong?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Or he just unfollowed everyone because he doesn’t like social media to begin with. it would make sense if his public IG is just a promotional tool for him.

Mods? Ban now.

SOMETHING IS COOKING!!

A pretty shitty one I must say.

Timeline seems to closely mirror Warning -> American Idiot, including a potentially abandoned/completely reworked project and a Network album in between. We just now have social media and a larger GDC presence to be made aware of everything going on.

Can't make jokes anymore on GDC, I see. Some people should just relax. Bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡 I trust you @jengd, something is happening tomorrow 👀

Tomorrow.....😘

Some of you just love the drama and overreacting

Starting Pride off with a bang I see

Agreed. Anyone posting fake cryptic things like “tomorrow” “one week”, etc should be banned immediately. Why is this trolling tolerated here?

I like hand claps.

If I remember well, this thread was created in the last time Billie back to Insta. Some weeks after, they started to post 1972 teasers, so...

I hope he’s going to start the album hype up once again!!!

Devil's Kind came up on my shuffle yesterday. Man, what a great song. Remember when we bullied Billie into releasing it? Good times 😁

Lol we’ll see. He could delete it again in a day.

HI BILLIE 👋

It’s still active for me.

And it's June 1st!!! I don't think it's just a coincidence that he picked today to reactivate his account. Maybe they're getting ready to release a single for the summer this month?!?!?!?!?

On Instagram it's not possible to set it private, he actually unfollowed everyone

Love Devil's Kind...that was the good ole days when Billie used to interact with us.

There's a thread for it here Yeah I really wanted to see them live and when I did it started out kinda OK but by the end it was a bit wtf!! Not exactly in a hurry to see them again!

You know what…… Maybe Green Day want to take a bit more time to deliver an album that they feel is great. Maybe they want to release it next year and headline Glastonbury off the back of it. Maybe they have stuff in their personal lives that is more important and needs their attention right now. When the time is right then we’ll hear a new album from them. …. The tail doesn’t wag the dog . Green Day, i trust you. … Take your time…….

I remember those days.

Why does every song have to be the best song ever? We should calm our expectations a bit. No one needs to be disappointed just because it's not the best GD song of all time 😅

That's a really amazing find!

Come on...

- Ok, so I thought I found something, but of the risk of making a complete fool out of myself for not paying attention, There's a song called "Happiness is for dummies" that's listed in the SESAC database with a higher number than OYB under GD's catalogue But after closer look it seems that GD wrote (?) a song for Ryan Jillian Santiago (Royal & the Serpent) for a single called "Happines 4 dummies" Even though I can't find any link between them when searching the interwebs. Thought it was something but it's clearly not.

what is it? give us a hint

Album announcement?

And with Billie reactivating I think my theory has been confirmed! Also still seeing BJ plates!

I think he just set that number to private

yea, it’s strange that he's not following anyone

New album news is coming

can't blame people for hearing it as "basically the same" tbh. it's in the same key, swung, with the same rhythm except the repeated note at the end, ends on the same note, and is a repeated distorted guitar riff that opens the song. musicians know that's just called rock blues and there's 20 guitarists improving a similar riff as we speak but if it's a lot of things lining up.

Reminds me of when You Irritate Me came out and everyone really loved it and put it on their dream setlists lmao

The chorus definitely got stuck in my head.

Live One tweeted a throwback

Do you know if they started from scratch at any point in this project? I hope nothing got cut because those original teasers sounded really good!!!

Don't mind waiting as long as it takes as it's gonna be awesome, if the teasers are anything to go by. Other than the latest official update of it's release early '24, the previous statement says the band are still working on it. Onward and upwards as the GD journey continues. Getting better and better every time from AI, 21stC, and RevRad and next up album 14. Bring it on. Oh yea, FOAM was a side project, a night out, a party. It was needed. Now back to work. Now we are ready for it. Let's roll up our sleeves. Let's see now, a 6 song ep. Wait a minute, we can do better than this let's go for a full album. Well 10 teases done are we ready. No, still writing, more songs flowing, let's put another song on the album and another, this is going to be epic. '24 is gonna be a special year. Well worth the wait.

So I'm the only one to like the song?

I think it’s a good song, don’t get the most negative comments going around here. As far as I understood this has been recorded within the Network sessions or around that time, which would make sense, I think there is quite a gap from FOAM style-wise. Probably not a masterpiece, but a good catchy track. If the song is not part of 1972 and they were to play this smart, they should release the song officially, make the lyrics about the hacker who stole the thing, and make a music video/mini-marketing campaign around that concept, would fit perfectly 🙃

Absolutely! ❤️

It’s a post-FOAM demo

Having listened to the song a few times, I can't get it out of me head. Love it. Not convinced with the comment that it's a demo for FOAM though.

I was thinking earlier about how within the last 7 years or so most new green day songs have needed time for me to come around on them. I think that since we're all super fans here and since we've been listening to this band for so long that we immediately expect to be blown away when green day releases a new single or album and a lot of us have grown to be a little too critical. Even when I hear a new song that I feel meh about the song will still get stuck in my head after a few listens, so even if it's mid tier green day it still has staying power. With Revrad I needed multiple listens before that album grew on me, and I came to love that record. I think some of us are too quick to judge without taking everything in first. That said, foam still hasn't grown on me 😂

Have to say the bada bing bit really stuck in my head after listening to it a few times. I live under a rock so I don't know the Pink song people are referring to
