Virtuous Xman Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Uh I hope they fix that cover because I for one do not like how you can see billie, barely see tre and mike is blurry. Not cool. You can't have one without the other. Treat them all with respect accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give_Me_Novacaine90 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 GREEN DAY: FEAR AND PARANOIA IN OAKLAND Father Of All… might be Green Day’s biggest ever left-turn. And it might just have reinvigorated one of punk rock’s greatest bands right when they personally needed it, too. This is the story of how Billie Joe, Mike and Tré ripped up their own rulebook and learned to let it all hang loose… https://www.kerrang.com/the-news/green-day-fear-and-paranoia-in-oakland/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 This comment from Billie in Kerrang: “For the adults, it’s called Father Of All Motherfuckers, and then for the kids and for the censorship, it’s Father Of All…” he laughs. “It’s always been Father Of All…, pretty much. I did the artwork and I scribbled ‘Father Of All Motherfuckers’ on the American Idiot album cover. Someone said, ‘You’re never going to be able to get ‘Motherfuckers’ on there,’ and I go, ‘Well, just make everybody happy and just put a fucking unicorn on it!’ And then I drew a unicorn and put it over it. So it’s kind of funny, because the unicorn has become this icon.” Discussing the actual meaning behind the name with Kerrang! last year, the frontman smiled, “It’s just a badass title! I think it was Kerry King from Slayer – they have an album called God Hates Us All, and someone asked, ‘Do you really think God hates us all?’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know! It’s just a badass title!’ (Laughs) As soon as the title came up, I was like, ‘Oh man, this is good.’” I love how he calls the unicorn an "icon." What??

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The fact that Billie made the whole cover makes it my favorite one since AI (I have a personal issue with the 21CB one in case anyone’s wondering if I’m crazy or what ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashie Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I read it as more of a logo. Similar to what he referred to in HLAHG when talking with the art department about AIs cover and referring to his Jesus Christ Superstar tattoo. 50 minutes ago, jengd said: Actually, to quote @kaylubd, the boyos are all over Kerrang magazine! https://imgur.com/gallery/X5HYIje Also, white t-shirt just saying I really want to read this now, but I’ve got to get my butt outta bed for work to sit in meetings all damn morning.

I had assumed he did this too. Yes, it was logical. This time it seemed a lot more ironic though. I don't really see the escapism in this album though. It's a bit like when Dos was too dark to be a party record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because of the fact that unicorns are everywhere right now, I've found myself thinking of Green Day's new album even when I wouldn't necessarily. Walking through the grocery store for example, and there's a display of Hostess unicorn cupcakes. Brain goes "Green Day cupcakes." Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I thought so too and I kind of resented it, because I was like come on, are you really putting the latest cutesy trend on the cover? Could you possibly get less creative? It's hilarious if it's there because Billie was like "fuck it let's slap an unicorn on it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he came up with the concept and scribbled a unicorn and the art department came up with that. It’s just not consistent with his style though it has elements of it with the eyes and the puking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
