If a mod can log this as a bug for us to resolve when I buy the forum that would be appreciated. I promise to all you GDC'ers I'll fix the issue. I'll buy it with you.

Well I can't imagine too many guitar players being a fan of this one 😂 I'm curious as well to see how this is handled live. They have a large band in live situations so it won't be difficult. It may sound a lot better live as they'll play it faster. One of the criticisms of the song so far has been it's tempo. 19 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: Green Day accidentally released what FOB was planning to do. It's not a big deal because they're just two divisions of the same company Except GD has what FOB doesn't have. The charm. The allure. The nutbar highschool dropout of a frontman. When you look at Billie it's as if he just dropped out yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JReevz Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Not gonna lie, really didn't like the song yesterday. It's been in my head all day and I'm actually kinda vibing with it. The music video helped make the theme more tangible and the chorus is actually pretty catchy - like the other singles it took a little time but it's grown on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It samples a Joan Jett song that also has pop elements. So by default it's already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 *me catching up on the thread* Seriously, it's fine people don't like it and expected better from GD. It's fine that people love it and really dig the lyrics. It's unnecessary to treat opinions, whether good or bad as fact or put down others who hate or love the song.

Gonzalo17 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I didn`t like the song for being Green Day, but i dislike it less tan FOAM and FRA... Oh! Yeah! at least has Billie Joe's voice. Hope there's an epic great song in the other 7 of the album, at least one, for rescue this era... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin_of_Suburbia Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Flaccid! That's the word I've been searching for to describe it. My body tenses up the whole song waiting for a release that never comes. *insert sex joke here* Listening to it in sequence with the other singles (tracks 1,2,3 on the album as the officially leaked back cover reveals) it brings the raucous fun-time train to a screeching halt. It may perfectly tee-up Meet Me on the Roof, and I'll enjoy it as such. But. Eh. Meh. I don't hate it. I have no strong feelings, other than some of the vocal runs Billie does remind me of Too Dumb to Die. Speaking of Revolution Radio: I preferred how this subject matter was tackled in Bouncing Off the Walls. I don't like being a Green Downer. Humpf!

This is their last album on their contract and this is their way of saying, “Fuck you, we’re out!!!!” This could also explain why they never mention in interviews what FOAM truly means. They’re not going to say it publicly and risk backlash!!!! The best way to do it is cryptically in a song!!! Sure, some elements of that mindset probably came into play, but I don't think you can deny at this point that they genuinely enjoy what they're doing and they put a lot of heart into all things FOAM, whether the fanbase vibes with it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how bad they are. 😂😂 They shouldn’t be releasing it under the name “Green Day” then. If you go into a Green Day expecting it not to sound like Green Day then what’s the point? Everyone shifting their standards because they’re desperate to like it. Sad. Also if you chose the best 3 Network or Foxboro Hot tubs songs of each of their albums, they are also better tan these 3 songs… And they didn,t use Green Day name on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really get the comparison to still breathing? I don't get the comparison to still breathing either but the lyrics paint a pretty realistic picture of the social media obsessed society that we've got. Everyone can be a star and get rich off fame, but we as a society are also more depressed and "running out of hope" it's pretty dark tbh, even the music video full of bright colors and smiles is pretty depressing and dark to me imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, while it's not what i expected (and not entirely to my taste but who cares haha) i like all 3 songs for different reasons. After all, if they just do what the fans want, that's conformity in itself. The thing that a lot of diehards surprisingly don't realize is that BJA is a genuine fan of all music, not just punk rock. I'm pretty sure that GD would probably never make a record of songs they thought were "bad" (unless they were really drunk i guess lmao) Also imo Oh Yeah is starting to sound like maybe it could've been on 21CB without the "Oh yeeeeeeeeah" inclusion. It's not that far off from what I expect from GD minus the lack of loud guitar/a solo i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
