That Dude Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 When no other band can even come close to make you feel the way they do. So many of my favorites are having issues at this point in their career. +44 - probably never getting back together. System of a down - can't make a new album due to disagreements Nirvana - a new album with some of these amazing singers they've teamed up with? unlikely Staind - Aaron has gone solo country, and put a stop to a great rock band. Cold - what's going on with these guys? 8 years and no album! Linkin Park - Even if they can recover, nothing will ever be the same Box Car Racer - probably never getting back together Weezer - their discography is taking a nosedive. YIKES The Offspring - Their new album is like a cable guy - will come out sometime between 2013 and 2060. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard all 5 of the (mediocre) previously released tracks from the album already. Don't think the deep cuts will do anything for me 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t ever want them to tank 😟 Yeah, it's nerve-racking between albums. What if Green Day make a terrible album? What if they go a totally different direction and it's no good? What if they pander to a younger crowd in a desperate attempt to sound cool and make new fans (which doesn't work) What if, after 22+ years of fandom, I suddenly don't like what they do anymore? Green Day have a good track record, so I think we're good. I listed bands that I miss or let me down. Here's some that HAVEN'T let me down yet to get our spirits up. These are the bands that I feel have no bad albums AND are still active as a band in 2019. Keep it up guys!!!!! Transplants! - tend to take a hiatus between albums, but they are WORTH IT. Against Me! - quickly climbing toward Green Day levels of awesomeness, Laura Jane Grace is taking Punk Rock to places it didn't really plan on going! Also, unlike these other guys, haven't taken any extended breaks. I hope their taking care of themselves. Scars on Broadway - there was a decade long gap between albums, but now their back and churning out great music! Slipknot - Solid discography in my opinion, and their breaks between albums aren't crazy long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I mean, didn't they kind of flop with the trilogy? They tried something new and ambitious and it didn't exactly work out. Yet, they recovered quite well with RevRad, so I don't think we have too much to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t a flop to me. I’m more afraid of what if they put out something and I don’t like it? But I tell myself that they’re probably way more worried about that than I am which is why they work so hard at not sucking 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more meant it didn't perform well commercially and it's not their most popular release with a huge chunk of the fanbase. But as someone else mentioned, they have a good track record, unlike other bands. The first one that comes to mind is Bullet For My Valentine. They have this weird pattern of following up a great album, with a bad one and so far it hasn't failed. The Poison - Stellar Scream, Aim, Fire - meh - pales in comparison Fever - Return to form, awesome Temper Temper - Bland Venom - Kick ass Gravity - WTF is this even? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think GD are in it for all the right reasons and love having such a mixed fan base, even though they don’t actively pursue it. Have faith, I as pretty nervous about Revrad but love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was broken hearted when the Trilogy promotion stopped, but the albums didn't disappoint. I adore the Trilogy. Speaking of disappointment, the new Weezer album is growing on me. I might end up liking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of disappointment, the new Weezer album is growing on me. I might end up liking it. I like the trilogy too! It's not perfect and it has its problems, but there's some damn good songs on it. I hate that the era is bittersweet. I remember being soooo excited about the albums coming out and how I stayed up listening to Uno and the excitement I felt buying my very first Green Day concert ticket. But the iHeart Radio aftermath also makes it a bit of a sad time. And I wasn't even watching the event at the time because I didn't know Green Day were playing the show. But at least the RevRad is full of amazing moments! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 When you associate New York with AI and Billie and know that he goes there a lot and even though you know he's working on songs back home you secretly wish you could bump into him in NY. In short, I'm going to NY tomorrow and I wish he was there now so I could have a chance of running into him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IcyMoffatt Posted March 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2019 I will change the thread's title to «You know that the bus driver you had today is a GD fan when»... I was waiting to get out of the bus when it stopped at a red light. The bus driver had the radio on and When I Come Around started playing. I was standing next to the bus driver and she was whispering the lyrics and beating the rythm with her hands on the wheel. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
