Well they teased Dookie 30 on Insta...that's something I guess. https://www.instagram.com/p/CvsnsuTOY0f/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg==

It would be smart to have the new album propped up by Dookie 30th anniversary marketing to put Green Day at the front of peoples' minds. I could argue American Idiot 20th (whoa) could do a better job at that but that's later in 2024.

Well I care about the Grammys. Grammy winning artists often see a rise in their streaming and sale figures after a Grammy win. And that's what I wish for Green Day. That their new music will be played on big radio stations again and not just songs before 2010.

Come over to the Fangirls thread. We have such sights to show you.

wait why are we believing this guy huh

Let’s be careful to not get too hyped up about this, despite the early indications we have that it could be good. I was told, however, “it’s a great record.”

@M1KEY's favorite.

I’m not. Having an official way to stream the demos would be really cool, maybe a surround mix, some studio chatter or alternate takes (less likely but would be really nice), a digital release for Woodstock ‘94, or an official release/remaster for Jaded in Chicago (uncensored, natch) would all be great goodies to have.

American Dream (Savio[u]rs) 🤷‍♂️

I reckon RevRad would've been nominated for probably multiple Grammy awards if it was released at a different time. As it was released in October of 2016, it was right after the cut off for the 2016 Grammys and thus only would've been valid for 2017 Grammys and by that point, the mainstream would've completely forgotten about RevRad. But Still Breathing and Bang Bang were fairly popular singles early on and at the time, the album was considered a major return to form after the trilogy. FOAMF was released at a better time but no one liked it Not that Grammys even matter anyway but I do think it's nice when good bands and good music are appreciated by people I still only listened to 1981 once but I absolutely thought nothing of it. It was a low quality live recording though so I hope I do find some enjoyment out of the studio version but if that's the lead single, then I'm not expecting a very good album. It absolutely sounded like an album filler track to me

Honestly, like do we really care if they win a Grammy? Do they care if they win a Grammy? All I care is that this album gives me 35-45 minutes of rock and roll happiness and that when the tour is announced I don’t have to drive to fucking Denver again to see these guys.

So looks like we are getting a 30th anniversary of Dookie

Ah ok, so a random new user first come posting a random audio file pushing it as leak track when leaks are being discussed and fake tracks are going around. Disappears for a few months, to then come back as a friend of someone in the production process that heard some tracks without revealing the name of the tracks, somehow knowing how many tracks they recorded but not how many they made it to the end, and reveal some vague information about these tracks. Very casually this happen when people with actual knowledge are sharing some information. And of course only first going back and editing the original posts he made where he was just messing around. While now it’s deff telling the truth. Deff an insider and not the fake account of a bored user of this forum.

To me, this album will serve as a gauge of how much the band has left in the tank. My hope is after putting out the worst album of their career and getting back in the studio with Rob, we should get something with some passion and energy (and hopefully lyrics that are halfway decent).

Wow, very source, much credible. Wow. I’m so glad they never did an American Idiot 2, or that the TV/Movie adaptation of the musical never came to fruition. I think that would have cemented them as “the American Idiot band” even moreso than they already are

yup, maybe, or maybe not

I have really high hopes for this record, especially after hearing Billie’s comments in that last teaser, almost a year ago this month actually!!! Where he said how the song they were working on “stays interesting, in the same way as like a song like Letterbomb is interesting.”

proof or ban ⏳

When you're on a subreddit that has literally no connection to GD at all, and you see this post title and scream out loud

None of 4 songs that I heard was OEB

I’m sure that @phildunphy is talking about OEB. Sidenote, if you type 1981 into Spotify, green day comes up in the search suggestions

Mike replied to this one

I'm extcited to hear that 'they really upped their game this time' (both the band and production).

So it's not an amazing record but only "great" ??

If they’re connected to the band, why would they ever say anything negative about their record? Or even their friends’ record.

Dookie's 30th will be a much bigger event than Insomniac/Nimrod 25. It's not just going to be the biggest fans excited for a re-release of this classic album I expect that we'll once again probably hear the full album live at least once. May not be the album everyone wants the band to play in full but at least it won't just be the big hits getting played. The anniversary edition has so much potential if they actually do some promotion for it, not stuff it with live versions of songs we already have several versions of, put the Dookie demos in there so we can actually stream them. And maybe carry some of that momentum from the Dookie release over to the new album. Maybe this will be the album to finally see the band return to the Dookie sound that so many people have asked for over the years

How will they cram in yet another Nice Guys Finish Last cut into #Dookie30?

Nah I'm all set on Dookie, thanks.

Maybe Dookie 30 is coming this year to not ruin the new album schedulw

What if #Dookie30 is actually Two-kie and the new album is a total sequel to their seminal album? Would make a lot of sense if you really think about it* *Please don’t think about it too much

Well I just watched all the released teasers again, and I think they are going for it this time, I think they are going big with this one..like in one clip Tre says "but this is a big slow song" and another clip where they are stopped by Rob when he couldn't hear the toms enough and the way Billie wwas describing one how he couldn't put words on it but wanted the structure to remain great , think they said something about letterbomb and in a few other clips, one of which sound like holliday a bit also...I think we are actually gonna get an cross between A.I and 21cb at this point and I think they may be adding to it, just like when Billie pulled back 21cb to add See the light to it at the last minute and also maybe when he said 1972 is dead they went for something more clever like ai or 21cbd and 1981 has beed dropped from it as it didn't fit in and that's why they played it live for us to atleast hear something new ..well that's what I'm hoping for anyways...nevermind , said my wee bit, back under my (worry)rock I crawl to wait for any hints of an update, see you all on page 1039 🤟

He's got good taste!

Thanks! I see that was nice some of the bands had did that. I will repost in that forum :3 (I'm still deciding if I should go or not heh)

A man of good taste. I like it

Because they've not done for 14 years. At the most, they've done albums that are somewhat similar to those albums in certain ways like Tré or Revolution Radio. But they've not done an AI 2 or 21CB 2 in 14 years so idk why we'd expect that. Especially after everything we've heard after FOAM. At most, we'll get some similarities to AI/21CB like what RevRad was, but I'm definitely not expecting AI 2 or 21CB 2

Actually I think someone mentioned that Billie was having audio issues in his earpiece And we already heard the 21CB demo leak before that too!!! Billie, is that you? 👀

For those of you thinking that 1981 is lackluster, just look at the lead single from 21st century breakdown... Know Your Energy doesn't really have much going on in that song, so there's still hope that the new album will be musically diverse and impressive

I can't say about the titles, but do you like American Idiot album? If the answer is yes, you will like the new record. Someone involved in the new album process

Sometimes I feel like I can't match the quality of certain songs I wrote one year ago, let alone twenty. They're practically different people and I think Idiot especially is was always going to be a lightning in a bottle thing. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think it's a lot more reasonable to expect RevRad than anything else (and as I've said previously RevRad with Cavallo + CLA production would've been absolutely phenomenal, not that it's not fantastic already).

A part of me want to call bullshit on this 4 songs but we're so close of an official announcement I'm not surprised if some things are getting leaked now.

Saviours American with a strong accent like Gomez Addams.

Green Day (or Sweet Children) are the busiest, most generous rock band of all time:

Green Day will never win a Grammy ever again

dannybones64 So cool to run into Mike Dirnt , we've know each other since 1994 , you do the math 😂 . So much to reminisce and laugh about ! https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct9m5pLpCdd/ Woodstock 1994 . Slide 2 @greenday @mikedirnt @trecool @billiejoearmstrong #greenday #dookie #woodstock @transparentclinchgallery #lollapalooza

Love Is For Losers reached that level or had that magic touch for me. Which is why it bugs me to no end that it was a solo project rather than a proper Green Day album.

I mean...you're not wrong...

Tre was definitely funnier in the 90s, I think the added energy made it more humorous. I still find him funny as hell though and he’s unique in his delivery. I love how some interviewers just never know what to do or say after Tre talks.

The album is for 2024. I promise.
