I like the idea of the Gilman 1992, but for the back, maybe have one from this past year, like London 2022.  30 year time difference, and a couple hundred people in the background compared to 75000 people in the background now.

Maybe that’s the plan and that should explain Billie having 1972 painted on his back!!!!

I hope they change the title to NIMROD and there's not explanation and it doesn't sound anything like Nimrod.   

It's just another album called nimrod. 

and there's no guitar, only zuul.   

I mean piano.   

 

Ah, Zuul the gatekeeper. Maybe that on the album cover.

I hope so.  

Whatever happens, it's going to be bright.

Bright, cheerful? or bright indecent?   or bright alarming?   just curious.

I'm wondering if this album is going to take a while and a lot of thought to grow on a person too...

Anybody think we'll get a subtle hint next week about what's to come in 2023, just like Billie did for RevRad?

 

We get subtle hints each and every every day.

But on that day, all hints will cease.

Thank god, imagine all the insane speculation every time he would post a coffee cup or something. “That’s an espresso cup, it‘s small, it MeANs tHE rEcORD WiLL Be HErE S00N” 

Didn’t Mike post something similar before FOAM was announced? I think he was drinking a cup of coffee with foam on top 😆

Actually I just remembered, the night before the single came out, Billie posted pic of a cup of coffee with the quote, “I woke up to a message of love!” Which turned out to be the opening lyric!!!

One year ago today, we got the first 1972 teaser!!!
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRqJNMHb/

And what a journey we've all had here so far.

If I may summarize; what have we had; After 1st tease in London, teaser 2 and 3 followed in Jan' 22, 4 & 5 in Feb', a 6th in March, Tik Tok videos followed, then Billie Joe tells Karrang mag, album release prob 2023. A studio clip and another Tik Tok post in July. The last Tik Tok clip is posted August?

Rob Cavallo returns to produce the new record. The assumption at that time as the clips highlighted ref to 1972, that would be the album title.

There was speculation that some songs left over from FOAM where under consideration, but later repurposed for Money Money 2020: Part II.

Billie Joe states more songs have been written including during quarantine due to Coronavirus crisis. 

A further assumption was that singles released since FOAM where stand alone and not tied to the future album.

from greenday.fm

Have I missed anything?

Almost 4 months of silence followed.

At least we've got Nimrod 25th to come in January. 

The feeling is we will have an update in new year.

Trying to contain my excitement. Got a feeling the next album is gonna be something really special.

1 year since the worst marketing campaing ever done by the band started!

I think they just couldn’t contain their excitement and started teasing it a little too soon

Maybe, but I've followed this band I love so much for over 30 years, I'd be gobsmacked if what has happened so far was all planned.

A band that in the '90's paid for half the ticket prices at live shows so the fans could afford to go. When there's been incidents at live events the band stops the show to make sure everyone's ok. I just can't believe they'd piss the fans off like this. 

I know I've said it before, but some outside influence must have fucked up their schedule. Could be anything.

However, I accept, when Billie Joe updated us to say the album would likely be released in 2023, I know he didn't have to, but it would have helped for him to clarify the reason.

I think they started with a 1972 EP like we all originally suspected, but somewhere along the way, they got super inspired and decided to make a full album

Small coffee cup?     They've revamped the old Coffee and Repent record as a very small EP, which will be inserted into the heart of the 1972 album.   

Coffee In The 70s - 

The new bold taste of the GREEN DAY SQUAD in 2023.  

Working with only the BEST swedish songwriters in the biz, GDS have crafted a unique, and truly fan-crushing powerhouse of an album that will have critics scratching their heads, because while it references the 70s, the music contained within is before it's time.   

simply centuries beyond anything living in 2023 can comprehend.    Billie Joe has freaked out of this dimention and is doing the Time Warp Again.

For the First Time.

I don’t think it was a marketing plan, rather just something the band posted themselves to let fans know they were working on something they were excited about, but not official promotion at all

This proves that FOAM was just a collection of fun songs they threw together to satisfy their Warner contract.

It satisfied me too.  

Deeply.

I'm sorry, you're gonna have to walk me through that one...

Sorry, what I meant to say was a lot of people at the time thought FOAM was made troll Warner due to the fact it was the last album on their contract
