Green Day announce new greatest hits album ‘God’s Favourite Band’ – featuring new song

[Chin for a Day]

I heard that Back in the USA is an old 40's ish tune, something you might hear Michael Buble singing but instead of playing instruments, they used kitchen appliances. And that the entire band dressed like The Spice Girls when they filmed the video. I heard Billie was Scary Spice

[DeJennsitized]

Well I heard it has a funky modern beat and repeats "back, back, back in the USA" for the entire song. Mike plays a harp and Tre smashes a lightbulb every time "USA" is uttered. Which is a lot of lightbulbs.

So they sing this song if not faster than platypus  with a metal sound i have tried to write the lyrics down after listening 5 times to the song no one believes is them here what i got 

 

Faster than a rocket
Terrifying scream
Enraged and like a skyrocket
He's half man and half dream

Master of America I'm pulling your lever
Twisting your hair and smashing your window
Blinded by me, you can't see the fever

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you yelp
Back In The USA !
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you yelp
Back In The USA !
Master

Two is the number of the scream.

A grubby poop nestled somewhere in time
A freaky bill - no warnings, no signs
Judgment day and the a horrible arrives
Eventually, they all commit crimes

The window went SMACK, there was no use turning back
'Cause I just had to see, was a scream watching me?
In the mist the hair twists
Was all this swell, or just some kind of hell?

Two is the number of the scream.
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you yelp
Back In The USA !
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you yelp
Back In The USA

Is it the end, my friend?
Master you're going 'round the bend
Half man and half dream
No, no, please, no
Two ... two
Back In The USA!

In the midst of having a lot of homework for college, as well as waiting for Eminem's new album, this Green Day hype has got me fuuuuuucked up.

I can airplay either one to my Apple TV and it’ll sound good. I’m not waiting, this has been excruciating enough.

Really? Because the sound quality was pretty horrible when I tried the radio station just now   (even if SB started playing the moment I opened it I am refusing to take it as a sign!)

I don't really mind waiting one more day, it's just a matter of staying away from GDC and I'll be at work for most of it, but one side of me wants to join in on the excitement as well

Unless it’s a cover, then you’ll be spared twenty pages of bitching 😄

Don't get me excited  

[Geezer40]

I hear they're massive fans of John Mellencamp and they just rewrote one of his biggest hits and made it their own lol

Has anyone who pre-ordered the album through the store received any kind of alert that their order has shipped?

Even if you don’t get a notification, download the USPS app Informed and when you put all your info in it’ll tell you when packages are coming to your house even if you don’t get tracking info. Also it shows you a picture of all of your mail for the day.

Same. And I've had a pending transaction on my bank account for about two months now.

EDIT: Mine says "Pending" not processing.

Whoops didn't see this.

So I work at a Music store in Australia and had a cheeky listen out the back.

Very strange hearing Brain Stew without Jaded.

Back in the USA had a very 'pop punk' sound and if I had to pick an era it would fit in I would say AI. The guitars had that same crunch that I've missed and the whole thing reminded me of something like Favourite Son. Definitely a greatest hits filler track, but fun for what it is.

So I will still just get the candles....

What did you think of the duet?

[End Of The World]

The day has just started here in Italy: 7 hours and a half to go. I'll be home by 2 PM, just in time to hear the song while eating a delicious dish of spaghetti.

It didn't do much for me. I would've just used the original. The extra vocalist kind of felt gimmicky.

Any leak info?
