W_FInkThePlatypusHunter Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 "I prove to you that I am bad enough to get into hell, because I have been through it! I have seen it! It has happened to me! Remember: I was signed for Warner Brothers for eight fucking years!!" Frank Zappa during his Titties 'n Beer performance in Baby Snakes (The Film) I’m 100% ok with Green Day going Independent. Fuck the major labels, they’ve got 30+ years of musical clout they can market with for the rest of their career. More music more often without the record executives breathing on their backs telling them what they can/cannot release? Sounds like a no brainer.

There are positives and negatives to this. Warner does have a large budget for marketing which helps out substantially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner is the “Assholes” they have to write “songs for” since the Trilogy only worked out to be one album in Warner’s eyes(thus leading them to make RevRad as their 12th studio album and 2nd to last in their contract). I could be wrong but I’ve been pondering this all day. you seem to have a thing against Warner and Green Day supposedly has been doing the one album at a time deals with Warner since 21st ended their original contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I always got the impression the GD/Warner relationship was ok, not sure (apart from what Billie has recently reportedly said) has come from, am sure @WhiteTim is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The most baffling part of this "we're leaving Warner when our contract ends" thing is that their contract ended 10 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Beginning to feel sorry for SophieK on Kerrang, she's still trying to talk it down and is now blaming the magazines that picked up on what she said and ran with it, says they should have checked their facts and that everyone (really) knows that she reads out tweets!

I imagine a lot of people and publications that reported on it never actually listened to the audio.

He was right for 21st CB, with regards to pre single and even album release he was right for the vast majority on RR too. (I wasnt around this much for trilogy era, but i i would assume also!) Matt is the closest to a 'Source' this forum has, by a longshot(heh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe the name and bio were in reference to the label. But the bio/tagline could have been directed at anyone not in the band's inner circle. Still wouldn't surprise me if @songsforassholes is a shot at Warner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Joes Eyelids Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So follow my logic and feel free to tell me if it’s flawed. There was a statement from GD specifically saying there will be no GD music anytime soon. I just can’t see them saying that if there is a GD single coming any time before September. Therefore if, and it’s a big if, there is music coming soon (as in within the next couple of weeks), it is most likely a side project. The guys simultaneous silence on social media right now makes me suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one who's been "silent" is Billie (he posted wiggles on the longshot account a couple days ago). Both Mike and Tre have been spotted at public events over the last 4 days. So they are not hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
