The teasing stopped because they finished recording. Nothing has been scrapped… the album is done.

Look I already have two weddings and a visitor from Australia organised next year, and I need to book holidays so I NEED tour dates. Rock stars 🙄🙄😂😂😂

Literally done, but they aren’t touring until next year so it makes sense to put them together right?

You know, it’s almost a year since the last teaser that at this point we don’t even know if those ones indicate the sound, reference or direction the album would take. More likely they have scrapped out a lot of things since then. Only time will tell…

God, I love PHGP, hearing new music from them is worth it regardless of how far out it is. The fact that it is coming at all is a very welcome surprise!

A single before When We Were Young Festival - late September/early October + February-March album release and a big tour throughout 2024 and 2025 is what I imagine will happen.

"album is done" in the meaning of recording is finished or in the meaning of the whole process is done and its literally ready to go ?

My guess is that the album has mostly been done for like a year but they have gone back a few times to make a few changes or additions to it. Regarding why it's still not been announced and we don't have an official release date yet, no idea

It's really shit how we constantly have to choose whichever site is just the less shit site. Like, why can't we just get a good site with not shitty people everywhere you go, functionality and not having a bunch of your personal information and data taken As shitty as some of the decisions are, YouTube is the only "social media" website that has been consistently decent (at least comparatively)

Early September single and then an early February album. Bada Bop a lulu boom, Gloria shoot your gun

The Louder than Life show in Louisville happens on Sunday, September 24th, so maybe the single would come out that Friday the 22nd. Either that or maybe Friday, October 20th, which is the day before When We Were Young.

Same, and the amount of dross you need to get through to see what you are actually there for!

Although the above is correct concerning the relation between a record company and a band, what I failed to understand is that Crush Music is not a record company. I stumbled across this article below. (sorry, the link would not work). Therefore, I was wrong. The above comments are not relevant to the relationship between Crush and Green Day. I hope below makes sense. Sep 13, 2019 8:37am PT Green Day and Fall Out Boy Are Free Agents: What’s Their Next Move? By Jem Aswad When Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy announced their joint “Hella Mega” tour earlier this week, many quick-witted industry observers noted that the three artists have something in common beyond their status as three of America’s biggest rock bands: They’re all managed by Crush Music. And as Green Day and Fall Out Boy noted in a recent interview, they are both also at the end of their major-label deals: Green Day will release the last album on their Warner Records contract early next year (the group has been with the label since 1993), and Fall Out Boy, which released their first album with Island in 2005, is already at the end of theirs. (While reps for Crush, Warner and Island either declined or did not respond to requests for comment, a source close to the situation confirmed to Variety that the two groups are “technically” out of their deals.) As luck would have it, Crush Music has a label — in fact, Weezer has released its last four albums on it via a distribution deal with Atlantic, which enables them to benefit from the support and infrastructure of a major label while still owning the masters. It’s a model that has become increasingly common in recent years, as streaming and the Internet — not to mention increased awareness of the benefits of artists owning their masters — have empowered musicians and eroded the leverage of the majors. Powerhouse management firms like Q Prime and Roc Nation have for years operated their own labels and partnered with majors for distribution; many artists who own their masters, like Motley Crue, have their own imprints (and their manager owns a full-service independent label). If Green Day and Fall Out Boy were to follow Weezer to Crush’s label, it creates a potential situation where a management company’s imprint could become one of the biggest rock labels in the business — although that title is fainter praise than it would have been a decade ago: This situation takes place amid a long recession for rock music, which fell far behind pop and hip-hop/R&B in popularity many years ago. While Crush cofounder Jonathan Daniel tells Variety “There’s not a story here yet, though I appreciate the creative sleuthing” and declined to comment on whether the company could or would want to get into the label business so deeply, there are a number of reasons why such an arrangement could make more sense for artists at this level than a major label deal. The groups are all strong live draws and still enjoy solid chart success — Fall Out Boy’s last three albums reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200; Green Day has had three No. 1 albums, including their most recent, and several Top 5s; two of Weezer’s four albums on Crush/Atlantic reached the Top 5 — although those numbers don’t mean what they used to, either. And while the groups can still crank out a respectable hit single, contemporary rock remains weak on radio: Fall Out Boy’s most substantial hit came four years ago (“Centuries,” which reached No. 10 on the Hot 100), and even a sizable hit like Weezer’s popular 2018 cover of Toto’s “Africa” only peaked at No. 51 (although, notably, that song was released as part of the Crush/Atlantic Records partnership, proving that the model can deliver a radio hit). Still, those are not the kinds of numbers that get a major label CEO’s pulse racing — but conversely, do these groups, which have established fan bases, deep catalogs of hits and are young enough to tour for decades to come, even need a major label, which is most beneficial for breaking artists and radio promotion? “Green Day doesn’t have to sign to a major label,” says Allen Kovac, founder of 10th Street Entertainment and the Eleven Seven Label Group and Motley Crue’s manager. “I consistently advise artists to avoid the majors. [Crush] puts out records just like we do. In today’s world, if you make your own music and have a fan base, you can always find a partner to do radio and streaming promotion. My deals enable the artists to retain the rights to their masters, and all profits are split 50-50 after marketing costs.” However, a manager of several notable rock acts takes a different stance. “Green Day is a massive, worldwide mega-brand, and having the global infrastructure of a major label to push and promote a new release for a band of this caliber is important,” the manager tells Variety. “Nowadays, it’s all about visibility on a massive scale, and that requires resources that very few indies or artists can attain themselves. “The reality is, [an album] is a marketing platform for a tour, so why not accept that and use one of the biggest ad agencies in the space?,” meaning a major label. However, he notes that such advice would only apply to established rock acts. “If you’re not Green Day, good luck,” he scoffs. “Majors don’t give a sh– about alternative rock because it doesn’t have massive streaming numbers and it isn’t ‘cool’ right now. So majors are doing what they do: chasing hits and trends.” Will Crush — which also manages Sia, Lorde, Panic at the Disco, Lykke Li and many others — take the plunge and further develop this artist- and management-empowering business model? Time will tell — but with solid fanbases and a synergizing tour on the horizon, the company and the three artists are in a strong position.

We’re coming up on one year since the last teaser in August. Why are they just sitting on it since then?

i guess no one can answer that (until we get a first single atleast) i dont even know if i want "another" epic rock opera (in my opinion AI is unique, we will probably never get sth special like this again) my personal wish is that the next album will be creative again, we all know that billie mike and tré can pull out very creative music, but when i take a look at foam or some other songs i am like "its not bad but we know you can do better", i'm not demanding better quality, but some songs might be simple (punk)rock songs but they still have this special GD magic, and it makes me happy if I listen to a song that doesnt sound bland

Yeah, can't we just merge them all into one all knowing, all powerful super computer? Nothing bad will happen, I promise. And we could chat with Billie about all our thoughts on his music.

Respect your view. We all have different views even about the same band(s) we like, and that's cool. For me phgp are second only to GD. I fell in love with them back in '91. Jason White joined them in '93. Carry The Banner, Goodbye Ellston Avenue and PG ep, are, imho stunning and classic albums, and just blow me away every time I play them. After a 5-year wait, they released the ep West Side Highway in 2008. Two new songs where added to re-release of Compulsive Disclosure in 2010, but alas that was to be the last to date of new stuff. The Japan version of compilation album Kick Over The Traces in 2009, was a double album, which included 23 live tracks recorded at Gilman Street, oh man, amazing. It was a sad time in 2012, when original member Sarah Kirsch died of Fanconi anemia. So Jason seems confident they will definitely be coming back. A few years maybe, we've been waiting 13-years, I'm sure it will be worth the wait Good look Jason with the project. It's gonna be awesome I'm sure. ❤️

I can barely keep up with 2 social media accounts. Now I'm supposed to add another?

its getting so annoying... this shit with holding records back and teasing for ever... blink does the dame shit but they released at least the single

I'm sorry, now I'm confused. Didn't @pacejunkie punk say last month that the album is finished? I assumed he meant at that time June. Are you saying the album was finished much sooner?

From Green Day’s Instagram story From Tre

Did you subscribe to the 1234 Go! PG discography club as well, mate? I cherish those repressings so dang much!

What have we got? A number of teases some with short music clips all instrumental. They will sound so different once vocals are added. There's two a few second long leaks deemed GD, with vocals. We've no idea if they are related to the new album or not. Nothing we've listened to so far remotely indicates a leaning to a rock opera as you call it. Imho, overall we've no idea what the new album will sound like. For me that's cool, we're just gonna have to wait and see what we're gonna get. I love surprises. Can't wait to be excited.

Magic Conch Shell says…

didn't he said in a few years? We talked about it in the podcast thread.

Oops! Twitter has spit it's dummy out of the pram. It's threatening legal action against Meta's Threads. There's gonna be a fight. lol.

I hate that Threads is owned by Zuckerberg but twitter is also near unusable for me now. I can barely look at the replies of any post without without finding dipshits and bigots with blue checks who instantly are at the top of any post Basically, twitter is only tolerable for me when I'm reading posts from people I follow. As soon as I click "For you", it just makes me want to die

I've honestly never really been into PHGP, except for the songs that just sound like GD lol. Basically I listen to 5 PHGP songs: Life During Wartime, West Side Highway, Anniversary Song, New Blood and 27 I am curious to see what PHGP in 2023/24 is going to sound like though

The wait has been so long it's getting to the point that I forget GD are even working on new music. Honestly, I don't care if I have to wait, but we could've done without the teasing then. I understand that maybe they figured the album or whatever they were working on would be ready sooner than they thought, but I'm really tired of bands announcing new projects and then just sitting on them (looking at you blink-182). If it's not close to being done, don't say anything then. I'd rather be surprised and have a firm release date to give me something to look forward to. This long game of will they won't they is really tiring. Luckily, I have other albums to look forward to this year as GD fades to the back of my memory,

Well I've joined Threads and activated the little bell on Billie.

What the hell is Threads and why did I thought Billie has posted in a thread on GDC this morning?

Green Day’s definition of „soon“

If they really want to fuck with Warner they should just play their entire new album on July 14th and 16th.

yeah, I almost thought that the so called project that is supposed to be released this year was PHGP

I was still optimistic. The thing about the record company having control over the release date is weird. I mean at the start of January 2023 GD management told the FEQ that they were touring for a new album. And 5-6 months later that's not the case anymore... Anyway. I'm seeing them in 12 days and I'm sure the same setlist will be back.

I know we said they're not playing between July 16th and September 24th but it's getting late to announce shows for August...

You're not a legacy band if you can't release whatever the fuck you want.

Didn't you said the exact same thing when they released the new Kerplunk! merch with another company?

Yeah we need to stop posting every instagram posts in this thread. We have an Instagram thread.

Why is this relevant to the 1972 thread?

Well of course we're at 472 pages. Because we can't stop speculating. Some GDC'ers knows what is hapenning right now and won't say anything to us. Yes I'm talking to you pace and matt. We wouldn't be speculating if we had the info lol

Is it gonna be another crazy day today? 👏 WE 👏 WANT 👏 AN 👏 ANNOUNCEMENT 👏

Why is this related to 1972 thread?

First of all we don't give a fuck about them they just wanted to promote themselves. Second of all something is clearly happening in the Green Day world. The guys are together for a reason. And finally, MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR GODSAKE

ANNOUNCEMENT SOOOOOON

Is it the start of something, finally? It would be really cool to have some kind of announcement before their next show in mid-July. I can't believe they don't have any show between July 16th and September 24th. I'm still believing in a summer tour 🤞

Michelle Farrell the playmate? Like Oh Love 2.0? Billie is blonde for FBHT 👀

Those in the know should just tell us what it is lol we're gonna save 70 pages of speculation.
