The Bellie Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I first watched the video less than an hour after it was posted on Youtube, and after that I put the audio on my phone and listened to it only a few hundred times in a few days, literally. (Why did I spontaneously write only? ) I think the video contributed to my love of this song, but in the end I've listened to the song on its own far more than I've watched the video (I'e watched it maybe 50 times ). it's hard to believe it lasts less than 3 minutes! I love the video a lot. Many things happen in it, it's pure punk rock and, to my sense, very relatable in a general way. It's completely Green Day. "Political" or social lyrics can suddenly sound very personal, deep, and mysterious when you try to think of how you could explain it; but it doesn't need to be explained. Whenever you feel it, it fills you with energy, joy, passion, that's more you could hope for (I'm the one saying that, when I was waiting - and still am - for a Forever Now video!! ). I'm very happy of the feeling this new song gives me. Rage and love have never felt stronger, the boys as well. I have a very good feeling about what's coming next, whatever that will be. I have moved on from some stuff and this song is perfect for me right now. I particularly love 'Tonight, it's the heroes's welcome home, and there's no place else to go, and I'll take to the grave." Man, dig that! But really, every line is genius. And yeah, Billie is so hawt when spitting coffee, singing "heroes" , and in his look when playing at the end, got to say it here since it's the dedicated thread for the video!

It's happening now I remember that, and I was fangirling very hard at that as well, I've even had dreams about it - the latest not earlier than last night!

The title isn't even that long and I don't like it Liking the video more and more, it's really good. The video > the song. The video is great but the song too, hell. In French, "bite" means "dick", and I made a screenshot of Billie when he picks up the newspaper just before spitting coffee and named it "bitusa1", I brought it at work just in case, it made me feel awkward,, but it just makes it better!

I’m not the least bit curious to s alee that. Who gives a shit? I've come to the point where I think : who gives a a shit if a lot of people don't care about Green Day? People I know don't in general. When they begin to care for some reason, well it doesn't change what makes me love Green Day. In any case, it can still be great to get along with people who don't care about Green Day, while I love Green Day to death more and more every day. Green Day helps to care about people and have people to care about you. And people who take "God's favorite band" like an ironic thing are just ignorant, because in real, it's so true!

pouty bitch Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 ^^^ Me too. I'm still totally addicted to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I'm so pleased that the video is getting a load of hits- it's one of their best videos and it's such a good song! I'm glad they put a video out for this song rather than belatedly doing a video for a Rev Rad song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I even heard BITUSA on the radio (UK), never heard Bang, Bang nor anything else from Revrad far as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! I head BANG BANG and Still Breathing a lot when they first came out but not lately. And Revolution Radio....not at all. They should release Ordinary World as a single - either version. Then Gods Favorite Band will really be all hits....except for 2000 Light Years Away. Heck, release that too. What harm could it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hey, BITUSA is on this Best Songs of 2017 list at No. 13. We should all vote it to get it higher https://www.thetoptens.com/songs-2017/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haushinka! Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'm FINALLY listening to Back in the USA and watching the video for the first time. The song is pretty good, but the video is absolutely perfect. I felt like I was back in middle school, falling in love with Green Day all over again. Without question, the best video in years. That's the Green Day I love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshadows Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Was browsing YouTube and came across this video and just remembered how much I loved the music video and the song.
