I think it's Crush, honestly. Promotion for the other albums has always been pretty strong. Now they switch and it's eerily quiet? It's all so weird. On one hand, it is cool to see them on iHeart again and events like the Video Game Awards and the NYE shows, but still....no interviews, no late night appearances....nothing?

The only thing I think is odd is the lack of a new single. Other than that, I feel like the appearances are pretty on target for the current period with the AMAs, Game Awards, and NYE. I wouldn’t expect interviews and late night performances until around a week or 2 prior to the album release, at the earliest. But yeah if we don’t see a new single in the next couple of weeks I’m going to find that very weird. Another thing...Green Day and Billie Joe have got to pick up there social media game. That is where it’s really at. It was miserable for Rev Rad and was looking promising for this era but it’s lacking again. Hopefully that’s just because of the holidays and it will pick up again. Billie could get the most attention with some good posts on Instagram and Twitter (preferably another butt pic to celebrate the new release but I’ll take anything attention-grabbing). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biddymc Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I really hope there's a new single in the next couple of weeks. That would help push the momentum. I really don't pretend to know or understand the music industry, and really don't get how downloads and social media work in terms of profit and marketing, so this could just be the norm for the time we live in. So what should the band, as individuals or as gd, be posting that they are not posting now? What would be considered a game changer? (Not excluding BJs butt, but seems like there might be other options available....) On a separate note, I will say that I have enjoyed both the Longshot and Coverup as fillers, and I would have love dto be able to take a trip to the west coast and be at one of those club shows. I just gotta get my kids through college! Another few years and I will be able to enjoy life a lot more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 A new single would help push the albim release. I can't say I'm hyped for it, but technically, yes, it would be good to release something shortly before the album drops. 9 minutes ago, Biddymc said: So what should the band, as individuals or as gd, be posting that they are not posting now?

Speaking of content that takes effort to create, they tend to start something that looks cool only to abandon the idea. Billie could do more of the puppet videos that were like a music show, it's something that'd keep more diehard fans feel connected instead of the rather a bit alienated posting that targets more random general public (eg billie e, post malone etc). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Deciding to "keep things simple because it's better that way" is basically the tagline of lazy people.

There might be an issue with sticking up with ideas long enough, but this is a guy who accomplished a lot so most likely he can get work done and there surely are other people involved in the marketing... They could have shot 5 episodes instead of 2 and spaced them out through a month or 5 weeks. It would be consistent, fans would have something little to look forward to and a reason to look at the social media. It'd be better than alternating between randomly throwing the content out and silence. 6 minutes ago, Sheenius said: Mind you I'm only talking about units sold between those dates.

Y'know I'd have to maybe kind of disagree a little bit on that because even if the spontaneity can be frustrating from a marketing perspective, it would make a lot more people more annoyed because it wouldn't be "him" I guess, the whole corporate sellout thing would be dragged up again and besides, like you said, the spontaneity is part of the charm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially speaking, my kids have a firm deadline for our contribution -- 4 years of college, graduate, or don't, it's up to them. They are welcome to live at home as long as they need to, but we won't pay tuition/housing for college after 4 years. My older son is on track. My younger son... time shall tell. College may not be his thing. I really hope in a few years we will be able to take some spontaneous weekend trips and splurge a little more on ourselves. Maybe I'm just dreaming!!! 16 minutes ago, pacejunkie punk said: That’s just it when it comes to those things though. He’s doing it all himself without a plan. It seems random because it is.
