Im sure there’s some timeline matching we can do for what they were doing during his birthday. What made me say mic and not monitors was I’m not sure if they wear monitors during band rehearsal in the studio. Sure a closer look at the teasers or even looking at HLAHG or Cuatro could give that context 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali89 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 When does Hella Mega start, next week? Hopefully we'll get a new song or some sort of announcement by then. Even just a little one. Anything at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything at this point Yup, June 1st, it ends on July 2nd and then they have Lollapalooza on July 28th to the 31st. So, I say, if anything, maybe we’ll get at least an announcement before next Wednesday for a single in July. If a single this big were coming out next week, we’d probably know about it by now. And I say big because Pollyanna, Here Comes the Shock, and Holy Toledo were probably just throwaway songs from FOAM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollyanna seems too lyrically relevant to the world opening back up when it was released, and Holy Toledo seems like it was written specifically for the movie it was featured in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after the whole Hella Mega tour with a release date and an upcoming tour short after album release like they did with RevRad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt a wireless mic pack would be allowed on/near an artist in the studio due to the potential impact on recording equipment and instruments. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post suffoKate Posted May 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2022 I crave more studio/band life documentation almost more than new music! Isn’t that crazy!? Nope! Quattro was a master stroke! And we fans were depraved of stroking during the making of 21cb. Maybe, one day, will we feel the release of that master stroke, but, for now, all we can hope for is a collection of tik toks, road blocks, bottle rockets, and gym socks.

The gates of 1972 await… I would love to follow the life of a song from start to finish in the studio. I want to know what the writing of it's like, how it evolves, and how all the individual vocal and instrument parts are recorded and put together. Mostly I just want to be a fly on the wall for Billie recording his vocals. That's just so interesting to me idk why. I wonder how many takes he typically does, or if he does it in one go, does different parts at different times etc. All of this is the documentary I wish we could get. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re never going to see the songwriting process in the studio because during ¡CUATRO!, Billie was talking about the Nimrod sessions and says, “After that, I said I would never bring an unfinished song into the studio ever again.” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to guess, I'd say they're way less in tune with the zeitgeist than they used to be, but that might only make for an even more interesting documentary 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Flashback Posted May 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2022 Didn‘t Billie just say that he doesn‘t want to go to the studio without lyrics? I think it‘s pretty normal to change certain melodies or add some extra instruments during the recording process 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 How about The Simpsons Theme Song With Lyrics! I think that would be fabulous hit single! Green Day are being all nostalgic this time around, so it is logical that they could call back to some older stuff. Knowing them, any and callbacks will be to Idiot or Dookie, because those are the only albums they remember in 2022, haha! The singles are untouchable from both, impossible to top. So perhaps sequels to the deep cuts, and make them into smash hits. Let's see: I'm Still Burning Out! (Burn Out 2) The Waiting Unknown (Are We the Waiting 2) and the hilarious 16 Rock N Roll Girlfriends. (Homecoming 2) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He vowed he wouldn’t go into the studio without lyrics again. But he broke that vow at least once, because he was working on the 21CB songs right up until the last minute. He didn’t have lyrics for RHS until Butch made him write them because he wanted to include the song. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
