If Tre's broken drumsticks post was from a rehearsal, then something is really on the way, because they wouldn't be together practicing the setlist 3 months prior to the next show.

 

So at least some kind of change on the Hella Mega greatest hits is coming.

Maybe they will give KYE a little rest and substitute that with something else from 21stcb🤷‍♂️

As much as I genuinely really like KYE and think it's overhated, I would love for them to replace it with something else on 21CB. Having it on the setlist for 15 years probably isn't doing it any favours. And the title track or East Jesus Nowhere would make perfect sense to replace it as these are absolutely fan favourite tracks

EJN is so fun live and the opener is awesome. Would love to relive the 21stcb tour again 👌

How about ¡Viva La Gloria! or Last of the American Girls?

Horseshoes and Handgrenades would be brilliant, a fun intro and just get everyone shouting "I'm not fucking around" as some pyro goes off as Billie Jowl's Strongarm gets everyone to jump

Three of their most recent tik toks  referenced  fire or burning maybe they're new album or a single is going to have a fire name 🤷‍♀️

Would love to see those songs live. Don’t forget to add restless heart syndrome and peacemaker to that list

I'm calling it, first single is called "Big Burny Hot Hot Hot (Owie It's Cooking Me Alive)" 

[PluckyJokerhead]

Maybe we should all try to be optimistic for a change and then something might actually happen this week 🙃

 

Maybe they should set fire to a copy of FOAM as promo for this record, similar to the Rev Rad TV smash

Viva La Gloria always should be on the setlist. What a great song.

The plot twist is they’ve decided to record even more music and the broken sticks are from that

The second part of the Trilogy is coming, it’s called ¡Cinco!, ¡Seis! and ¡Siete!

I'll be fine if they are just 10 songs, 2 minutes length each but the quality better be good.

No I’m sorry. After over a year in the studio I expect more than 20 minutes of music. That would suck.

I know but from them we can expect anything. We can expect a 26 minute length album or a side project 60 minutes album and don't give a sh*t about gd.

Imagine another timeline where we get FOAM in 2009 after American Idiot instead of 21sCB.

Green Day would be a dead band.

Foam is the product of green day being a "dead band" in their own eyes and trying to get with the times (in the worst possible fuckin way)

Or, for all we know, we could be in for a double album, or a Trilogy done right

[AlienVisitor]

I just want another rock opera.

I hope it's not too much to ask for

[Christian's Inferno!]

At the end of the day, if the quality is there then I don't mind getting an album under 30 minutes. Don't get me wrong, I get that it might seem frustrating after how long they've been teasing to just get 20-30 minutes of new music. But if they have 25 minutes of fantastic songs, would you really want them to add an extra 10-20 minutes onto that if it just means getting some extra mediocre tracks? Of course it's fine to have preference for an album to be a certain number of tracks, or number of minutes but even if I prefer an album being 12-15 tracks, I'm not going to have a problem with an album with 9 tracks or 18 tracks if it's a genuinely great album

One of the weirdest complaints I see FOAMF get is that it's too short... Like, really? Is that the reason people think FOAMF is one of the weakest (if not the weakest) GD albums? Because it's too short? It's already a mediocre album, what would adding extra songs do if songs like IWATT and Oh Yeah were considered acceptable tracks. No offense to people who love those tracks, or the album as a whole. The album being short is not one of the album's flaws in my view. I don't see people say that Insomniac is a weak GD album due to its length, even though that album is only a few minutes longer than FOAMF

We're not getting another trilogy. And the trilogy was done fine, they're not going to do a better trilogy now than the one they did in 2012. A 2+ hour project is bound to have some filler on it unless they spent like a full decade on a trilogy trying to perfect it. Even a double album is something I highly doubt is going to happen ever

Strongly disagree. FOAMF is not a modern mainstream sounding album. This is not the sound that modern listeners go to listen to. The band did not make FOAMF to try and get modern listeners to listen to them. If anything, it's very old sounding music

[pacejunkie punk]

The Network proved to me that FOAM could have been improved with more tracks.  At first I thought it was just that several of the songs were underwritten or subpar, but I think they also left several better tracks off the album. The first half of the album is pretty weak, all of the stronger tracks are in the second half and just when you start enjoying it, it ends. If they had added Art of the Deal…, Degenerate and Cancer is the New Black? You’d have a very good album.

I'm of the unpopular opinion that there's shockingly little worth listening to from MM2020 Pt II. Like, of the 25 tracks on the album, there's only 7 tracks that I have saved onto my spotify's "Liked songs" and my bar for saving a song, especially a GD song, to my liked songs is not high at all. Even FOAMF, I have all songs except Teenage Teenager saved even though I only really ever listen to half the album

There are songs on there that could've been put on FOAMF but
1) Instead of adding them to FOAMF, imo it would've been better for those better tracks to replace the weaker tracks on the album, resulting in a better quality but still just as short album.
2) It's very possible that the band wouldn't have included the better songs from this project on FOAMF if they were to add more songs. For all we know, they could've added one of the many filler songs on the album, maybe change them a little to have them sound a bit more GD but still undoubtably a filler track. Or, they could've added additional songs that weren't released on MM2020 Pt II, like Here Comes The Shock, which is almost unanimously considered mediocre at best

Both!   And I have to share a hot take on Breakdown songs since we are talking about them....East Jesus Nowhere is almost Haushinka levels of bad.  I mean, for music in general still pretty great.  But for Green Day?  Barf.

so....now 1972 today?
