WorryRock02 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Kerrang is talking about Green Day on the brand new issue. I'm unable right now to post here readable scans but i transcribed everything so you can read it clearly: Spoiler Quote GREEN DAY - It definitely feels as though something is brewing here. The Oakland kings have been having a grand ol’ time winding fans up on the internet these past few weeks, after it was initially rumoured that a brand-new Green Day single would be arriving on July 19. Of course, we’re yet to actually hear it (the band’s last new song came in the form of 2017’s Back In The USA), but that doesn’t mean the follow-up to the 5K-rated Revolution Radio isn’t on the way. For starters, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has been writing new tunes since at least last December – if not before. The musician can be fairly unpredictable when it comes to just how long he takes on his work; for example, 2009’s epic 21st Century Breakdown was some three years in the making, while mixed 2012 trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! took a year to write and create, and 2016’s Revolution Radio took around two. So how long will it be this time? The biggest indication that progress is going well is Billie Joe, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool’s Instagram accounts. Having posted individual photos of a large bull on an undisclosed wall on that fateful July 19 day, along with follow-up photos of each member with their respective instruments in what looks like a recording studio, this is a huge indication that the Green Day machine’s wheels are in motion. Eagleeyed members of the Idiot Nation noticed that the animal in question is actually a feature in producer Butch Walker’s studio – a man who’s worked with everyone from Weezer to Fall Out Boy. Couple this with the fact that, back in February, the band and Butch all followed a private Instagram account mysteriously titled Songs For Assholes, before the producer then posted a photo on his own profile of a studio featuring Tré’s drum kit, and it seems as though a partnership has indeed formed. It’s also worth noting that Green Day seem to really enjoy teasing projects in advance. Followers of Billie Joe’s Instagram will have seen him hinting about his side-project The Longshot long before any information about the band was out there last year, while in 2016 he was captioning photos with “#Revrad” months before the album was even announced. So keep your eyes peeled on those hashtags, people…" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross_19 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hhhmmm yeah a new single was rumoured to be coming on the 19th. They skipped over who started that! The strange thing I find with articles like this is that, if we already know the album is done because of Matt, surely someone at Kerrang also has connections and they know the album is done? Or would whoever is writing this article not be given that sort of info?I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother when you can just read Tweets and visit a fan forum, job done in five minutes. Okay, another question then. If it would be that easy for outlets to just read tweets and this forum to get their sources, why have non of them reported "Guy on GDC claims album was finished in June." They reported on that person from 2016 who ran into Billie and was told new music was coming in the Autumn. Forgive me I can't remember who that was and I think he / she still hangs around here, but on face value Matt is a more trustable source, so it is a little curious that nowhere has picked up on anything he has said.

Yeah I suppose if they can include in there that the so called info came from Billie himself that will attract more readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 3 hours ago, PleasedToMeetMe said: In my 20 + years of being a Green Day fan this is EASILY the most impatient ive seen fans get waiting for a new album lol. I bet the guys are eating this shit up. There's definitely something different this time around. They've left us hungry for more with the last 2 eras and it's clear that as a fan base we want something big. And if what that person a few weeks ago said is true and this is their last Reprise Records album I'm sure they're planning to go for a home run swing.

Jeff Matika mentioned in a podcast he couldn't commit to a tour with a friend of his because he didn't know what he'd be doing 3 or 4 months from now. Also, people debated on Billie's political lyric ability for a few pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDFan2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Not sure if this is a sign of things to come, but I noticed my local alternative station, ALT 92.3 in New York has been throwing in some lesser known Green Day singles. They usually play the biggest hits like Basket Case, When I Come Around, Good Riddance, American Idiot, etc. But tonight they played a song they’ve never played before, Minority! And the other day, they played Know Your Enemy! All the DJs have been acting like they’re hearing the new single/album rumors for the first time just like us, but do you think they have all the details of what’s to come but they’re not allowed to say anything yet?
