ColinOr Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 "Hey guys, we want to cash in on nostalgia for your highest selling album American Idiot, but we also want songs that are hip with the kids, also we have a deal with NHL to produce songs for their hockey season, can you do all of it?" "Yes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Finally got to actually listen to the song. I love it! Very different for them and my favourite of the three so far. It kind of reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age a little bit. I really like the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now we can just enjoy the new song. I didn't realize me being linked to buying the forum would spark so much change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That line really speaks to me on a personal level, as someone who was always viewed as a "smart" "bright" kid but grew up feeling like a failure with very low expectations for themselves Yeah this. Very personal and classic Billie lyrics. The more I listen, the more I just want to hug him and tell him that everything will be all right.

Montclare Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I like it. My first thought was that it wasn't hard enough/rock enough, but then I realized that's just because we haven't gotten the Bang Bang, American Idiot, etc from this album yet, and it's unfair of me to judge a single song on that. Taking the song by itself, I like it. 3 hours ago, jengd said: I would not be surprised if somebody (management?) said you cannot name a song bulletproof backpack in this day and age so GD, being GD, gave it the most generic name they could come up with it, which just so happens to fit the chorus. Sorry if this has been said already, I am catching up. Have only heard it twice and it could well be a grower, first listen I did not like the "everybody is a star" bit at all but on second listening, I'm wondering if that man Armstrong has created another earworm! I do think Bulletproof Backpack would have definitely been a better title and had a similar thought to you. I hope that they didn't cave though (like for marketing reasons). And had the same thought about the "everybody is a star" line. Felt generic the first time, but came to like it on multiple listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bellie Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Love it. The lyrics and the message are on point. Nobody moves and nobody gets hurts = nobody moves away from their device, that's the "safe" way to live now. Payback = literal money, or likes on social media? and I wonder if Billie gets a little self-depreciative in the last verse when saying he's "the shooting star of lowered expectation." Definitely self-derisional though. The whole thing is quite depressing when watching the video! but it makes it even more pertinent that way. Musically, quite a jamming song even though it's slow. Catchy melody. I bet that live it's gonna be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petros Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I don't know how to feel. I genuine enjoyed listening to the track for the first time and that doesn't happen often anymore with their new music. What I don't like about this new era is that they're trying to do that "cool" rock n roll music which is fine I guess but I kinda hate all the bands like Arctic Monkeys that do that kind of stuff. And then seeing that it's basically someone else's song with different lyrics makes me not feel this song even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trambopoline Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 eh, I don't know if I like this single. The other two admittedly grew on me after a couple weeks, but all the songs from this record so far have sounded like they were written for car commercials or something to me.

I understand why black man working out to be a star, girls show body too to be a star, but gay and man under woman’s shoe.why? I guess that as fetish and bdsm (just like gay and trans) have become also internet trends now, starting with porn industry, it's a way of pointing out that even those type of things need to be showcased online nowadays. Like people choose to showcase everything in their lives to become "stars". Even though those types of things belong to the private field.

That's I think what I'm saying too. I actually like them not doing punk rock as I've said a million times but this "cool rock n roll" approach isn't one I wanted from Green Day although it will surely grow on me more compared to how another revrad would.
