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.

Although Dookie was and continues to be their best selling album (from what I've heard?), American Idiot is the album with the most impact on pop culture and their most recognizable. I could see them (or the record company) pushing the album back fo a 20th anniversary kind of a thing.

Maybe it's not gonna be called 1972 but it's still look like it's gonna be something about their life/career.

The question is when this side project stuff comes out.

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?

I hope it's a brand new side-project coming soon. But of course I'm stoked for Pinhead, I just can't see that coming out anytime soon if they're currently writing.

That’s the content of the story Billie posted, meaning that you are not getting that YouTube screen/warning message, Billie took a screenshot of it and posted it as a story 🙂

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

Nobody checks FB nowadays

How about we just wait until we know what the album name is before changing the name. I don't think anyone actually cares enough to change the name of the thread to "Album 14 speculation"

C’mon, it’s Billie Joe, same who said we were gonna have a Forever Now video. Still waiting though 😂

They clearly aren't rushing with this album and tbh it makes sense because there's nothing to be in a hurry for. They were on a biggest hits tour last year and the year before that and whatever is coming next won't be much different, because they just put in an effort into estabilishing their position as a legacy act and that's the kind of thing they're going to continue with. Effective touring means a biggest hits stadium tour every few years, forever. They'll thow in a new album once in a while for a bit, until they won't. I personally feel like it's way too early for this, but it seems to be the approach they all can agree on and it's very time and cost effective.

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

When it comes to Billie on social media I've always lived by two rules. RULE number 1 - Don't take anything serious Billie says on Social media. RULE number 2 - ALWAYS remember rule number 1.
