I still wonder if it’s even gonna be the title now if they passed on taking advantage of their 50th birthdays. What’s the point of the title then (Other than to represent the year they made it not the year they release it) They have been teasing this thing for almost a year now, December 19th to be exact!!! Perhaps maybe they should’ve waited at least 4 or 5 months to start teasing? Regardless, this shows that they’re super excited for this one!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localinsomniac Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I'm waiting for the day we find out GDfan is really a mole sent by Crush to mess with everybody.

GDFan2019 Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Here's a few possibilities about what may have happened with the 1972 title. -1972 is still the name of the album -1972 was the name of the 6 song EP we originally speculated about. They decided to record a full album and the name changed. -1972 is the name of a documentary of the making of the ???? album, and featuring rare never before seen clips from before they were famous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still feel, looking across the record industry that post COVID is delaying studio time, recording facilities, staff shortages, and material availability issues including vinyl, cardboard etc. We discussed this in Nimrod topic with thoughts it's release date was delayed. Maybe a 1972 single was pencilled in for pre-christmas. But if there's no recording staff a backlog of recording sessions no material to record your music onto your fucked. Like everything else once there's a shortage up go charges, so I'm sure GD ain't got a bottomless pit of money.

They may not know how hyped we are in GDA, ya know? If we let them know we are Excitement Level Midnight, they might give us all the knowledge we desire. I would do it, but have some superheroing to do. I don't wear a mask because I want all the credit. Bruce and Peter could learn a thing or two from me, I'm telling ya. This is better than running New York. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to rely on digital release only, not very profitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyEmerald Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Are we sure they did not PUNK us and that 1972 isn't actually the name of the upcoming album? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's called something else. And I WISH we had a thread just for title speculation as well. of course that thread would have special "allowed to get off topic" privileges, because it would be the best thread in the world. I thought 1972 was just a vibe for the new era and not the title. We shall see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 22 hours ago, Mar said: I love this band more than life itself and I respect the creative process, but honestly, they're idiots for not taking advantage of the last 50th birthday in the band being on a Friday (album release day) and get the project out in the 50th anniversary of the year they're honoring. I had a longshot fantasy that I'd wake up to a surprise drop which is just silly, I know, but they're just as silly for not doing it, right? Why are they idiots for not releasing an album that clearly wouldn't have been ready. You can be critical of the fact that they've been teasing for too long, I'd agree with that but telling them to release an album just to coincide with some random anniversary is just a bad idea that results in products being rushed and incomplete 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PleasedToMeetMe Posted December 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2022 It makes sense that they wouldn’t post any teasers until after the Nimrod 25th Anniversary is over. Any 1972 news would overshadow the excitement for Nimrod and I think that’s something they really want people to be excited for. Green Day finally seems to be “looking back” for the first time and I’m here for it 👍 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlienVisitor Posted December 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2022 Pretty sure 1972 will be another rock opera.. They're taking their time with this project and it sounds promising. It'll be worth every second we've waited for. Happy holidays guys 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 They could be making a film that tells the story of the album, and doing it at the same time to avoid what happened with Idiot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
