Isn't this new EP the sequel to the lost Network Album "Omega 3000"?

Nah it was just rumoured that the next album would be called that if they made one. I think it came from John Roecker (not even the band). There was no suggestion that there was a lost album or any unreleased material.

On Green Day’s Spotify page, they have the Trans Am EP listed as a Artist’s Pick. Now why would Green Day promote those hacker jerks? 🤔

Page is obviously run by Warner. I bet if The Network knew they were being promoted on Green Day pages they'd call off the whole deal.

IIRC, for the DVD release, they mixed footage from the earlier (no audience?) rehearsal and then live show footage. There was only ever one public show at the Key Club advertised, I'm quite sure. I don't recall any opening act, nor encore. And people definitely stuck around after the show thinking or hoping GD would come out for a secret show. Didn't happen.

woah, cool! thanks so much for the info. Another weird question, a lot of stuff on the DVD looks like it's being lip synced to the record recordings (for instance, fink's backing vocals in Reto. I know there's some other stuff too but I can't think of it off the top of my head atm). Do you remember if at all how much stuff seemed like it was coming from backing tracks and how much was live?

Or perhaps they just dropped in audio from the record over the live recording to make the DVD sound better, idk. thanks again for helping to satisfy my curiosities! 

 

EDIT: also, you're totally right about it being intercut with the earlier no audience rehearsal. just went back to the video and you can see an audience-less shot at 10:37

DOUBLE EDIT: hahaha upon closer inspection at that no audience shot, Z is wearing just the mask and a white t-shirt rather than the rest of his outfit lmfao. Gonna start looking for other little nonsense like that...

Well, seems Fink is a trustworthy man, because he follows my gf now, haha. Nobody expected that :lol:

I got a follow, too! Imagine my surprise after my half-assed attempt when ten minutes later I get a pop up on my screen saying, “Mongo Fink (Billie Joe Armstrong) has followed you” 🤣😳

They've been joking about their rivalry for years.

2020 is the year for a Green Day Network crossover track.  Mike and Van Gough doing harmonies on a huge, epic track. 

Oh man.

American Eulogy without Billie Joe equals = greatness. 

Now that I think about it, Van Gough lit a fire into the underground.

One of the things I'm most excited about is what the potential influence The Network will have on future Green Day music. I'm not saying we'll get another AI, but I do think it might inspire them to do something different again!

You would think the three seconds of Billie whipping his hair around would be my favorite part, but I'm giving that honor to Jason's awkward dad dancing.

 Fink whipping his hair around is definitely my favorite part 😍

The Flat Earth video makes the song a million times better. 

I'm guessing we're getting a vid for Fentanyl too. I hope it's more interesting than the song. 

 

I hate to say this, but this revival of The Network is pretty disappointing. I really hope the album is good; that's the only thing that can save this. Even if the album is shit, it's still gonna be the highlight of my year.

Snooanon: Multiplatinum recording artist @theweeknd got his start in a Network cover band. In Nov 2020 The Weekend thanked the Church Of Lushotology and someone called Van Gough at the AMAs.
