Starting to think this side project thing is really the PHGP. Cometbus is in town. Maybe Jason White lied about them being back in a few years. It's probably closer.

Well that's super disappointing if true. Never been fussed on Pinhead.

Correct, and was in fact an incorrect assumption

🤞😉

For all we know '1972 Is Dead' is the name of the record

Billie just shared this in his Instagram story!!! WTF?!?!? https://instagram.com/stories/billiejoearmstrong/3144815125157587517?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Ahh you beat me to it!!! But here’s the video from YouTube since YouTube videos still embed in here

https://www.instagram.com/p/CumuXqgsrP-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Looks like Billie is bringing back his Oakland Coffee playlists!!! Didn’t he do this shortly before the FOAM single came out?

there was never a confirmation that the three were involved. It was just a guess based on Mike's pick tagged on that studio Instagram stories

I love how despite being ultimately screwed over by the underground scene, Billie and the rest of the band still hold so much affection for it and contribute in any way they can to media exploring it.

Not a huge fan of PHGP stuff. Was really hoping for a new side project or more from Foxies.

🙃

I remember a few weeks before the first 1972 teaser, Billie shared a mock Sweet Children album cover in his Instagram story and I think he said something along the lines of, "This would make a good album cover" or something like that.

It'll never happen, but "Sweet Children" would be a fun title

What does this mean exactly? It's a yeah or nope? 😅

Assuming PHGP are writing the normal 3 chord, two minute songs, and not striving for 21st Century Breakdown levels of creativity, I can’t see the writing process taking too terribly long, especially if they’ve been doing it collaboratively over the past several months. PHGP normally hashes out a project in the studio in a couple of weeks; rarely does the entire recording process take any longer than that (source: https://dyingscene.com/ds-exclusive-jason-white-on-reissuing-pinhead-gunpowders-catalog-on-1-2-3-4-go-records-and-whats-coming-next/). Just speculation here, but I think Jason’s recent comments regarding new material “within the next few years” were a means to either dampen fans’ immediate expectations and/or maintain the surprise. If Aaron is indeed in the Bay, maybe they’ll put out an EP and play a few shows over the fall or winter, which would bridge the gap nicely to an expected 2024 Green Day release.

But… I thought we knew Billie, Mike and Tre were involved in whatever’s coming and Mike and Tre have never had involvement with PHGP or is the timeline so confused now that they are only involved in the new GD album?

was hoping for more network stuff but i'll take new phgp stuff 🥰

getting warmerrrrrr

Would be amazing. Fingers crossed.

Great intro. I love how, in spite of everything, he has so many vivid memories of so many shows and tours and experiences. Love his speaking voice too, soothing and warm. Thanks @pacejunkie punk

GDA: News from Billie... he's in a new social media platform called Threads!!👍 Me: Guys... I barely check FB🙄. I suppose we get now another social media platform to... get news/teasers about 1972???🙄 P.S.: Am I the only who don't give a F¨¨k about these SM platforms??? Or is it just that next year I'll be 40??? or... both???🙄

So good to hear his voice again. ❤️

Tre from @bubukittyfk For anyone without Instagram this is what Billie posted

You mean Trè?

I think Green Day are changing their name BACK to Sweet Children, and Mike Dirnt is leaving the band. Now THAT would be wild.

Ahaha he's enjoying seeing their nemesis going down!!

Maybe it's like when he destroyed pop punk forever

Did he really "make it clear" though? It is him.

I thought the exact same thing😆 I had no idea there was a social media platform called Threads. Just what the world needs, another one of those🙄 Think I'm getting old.

My guess is that 1972 was maybe something like a working title during the recording process, and as it grew and matured, it developed into something else. 1972 could mean it's a very personal album, reflecting on their past, present and future? Might we even get a self-titled album this time? Whatever it is, I'm starting to get excited again. 2024 isn't too far away now, time flies... In my experience, there are tons of young/new fans at the Green Day shows I went to so far. I've hardly seen a band that is able to bring the generations together the way Green Day does. I always love that about GD shows. So I don't think we (GD fans) are an endangered species 😛

I feel like it’s just archive footage like they occasionally post.

The band's probably not going to be very active until 2024 with the new album and anniversaries for Dookie & American Idiot. They're probably just getting ready for all that and releasing these shorts to get us prepared and excited

Leaked album, huh? Don’t read into that. More than likely celebrating the release of American Idiot as a single. Don’t read into that.

yeah, and that is a good thing, because Billie's side projects are always the best ones. If it's not FBHT, than Longshot or PHGP would be the best stuff that we could get right now

Omg Cometbus is in town? Where did you see that?

Or if not phgp a new thing involving members of phgp and all of green day

You mean his story? Yeah that’s there

🤞

I do. But its more like a newspaper for me 😂 I only use Insta and TikTok when someone‘s sending me a link

You would think so. After recently delving into how music industry works, If I've understood correctly, it's the record management/company who controls/approves if and when the band can conduct an interview? A better title would be: "Welcome to fantasy land" Or "Warning, entering this thread could seriously damage your sanity"

Can we all agree that's the one thing FOAM accomplished?

yes! we miss the days of fan clubs, like idiot club would tide you over with a tiny bit of info and prizes/merch for a few years until a new single would eventually reach the airwaves out of the blue! no sherlock holmes internet stalking bullshit! 🔎

I don't think about 90% of the people in here could handle waiting for new music in the 90s / early 2000s when there was absolutely no new information for years outside of random magazine articles 😂 The album is coming, Green Day is still a band, and everything will be ok. Just take some breaths and relax

GD fans don't grow old, their music won't let you. 18 forever. ❤️

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