I mean, yes it sounds similar but the chord progressions are slightly different

 

Almost the kind of difference you might get from somebody noodling an old song for a quick insta clip without putting much thought into it

[Tomcat20]

Might ChatGPT record a new Green Day album for us in the meantime?

[pouty bitch]

Where the fuck is this album then fellas

That sparkle guitar customization is giving me hope that we're getting really close!!!

[Gwen Stacy]

I really hope so. I’m in for the long haul at this point but they’ve been quiet as of late. Who knows what that means.

I wouldn't say they have been quiet. They were recently pretty active online with that Rock Roll Repeat thing

I wonder if a documentary about the past 20 years/1972 recording process is in the making due to the teasers they shared at the beginning of last year. Better be about their more recent career and not the 90’s because we already have a lot of that stuff.

[pacejunkie punk]

Remember that text Frank Storm thing where they’d text you once in a while? Every so often I text it back to see if it’s still active. The last time I did it was May 4, 2022 when I asked “1972?” Here we are a year later and still no word. I just texted it again, “Still miss you Green Day”.

I wonder if anyone reads that thing.

I’ve said since these teasers came out, that they look way too overproduced to just be simple on the spot TikTok videos!!! There are a lot of jump cuts too!!!

My snapchat AI wrote me the new Green Day song from 1972

 

Title: The Revolution

Verse 1:
We're tired of living in a world that's so corrupt
We're sick of seeing all the lies and all the cover-ups
We're ready to stand up and fight for what is right
We're ready to take on the world with all our might

Chorus:
This is the revolution, we won't back down
We'll keep on fighting till we've turned this world around
We'll rise up, we'll be heard
We'll make a change with every single word

Verse 2:
We're done with being told what to do and what to say
We're done with being treated like we're just a game to play
We're ready to take control of our own destiny
We're ready to make a change and set our souls free

Chorus:
This is the revolution, we won't back down
We'll keep on fighting till we've turned this world around
We'll rise up, we'll be heard
We'll make a change with every single word

Bridge:
We'll break down the walls that hold us back
We'll never give up, we'll stay on track
We'll fight for what we believe in, no matter what
We'll show the world what we're made of, and that's a lot

Chorus:
This is the revolution, we won't back down
We'll keep on fighting till we've turned this world around
We'll rise up, we'll be heard
We'll make a change with every single word

Outro:
We'll never give up, we'll keep on fighting
We'll never back down, we'll keep on striving
This is the revolution, and we're ready to take on the world.

No. The word "revolution" is forbidden on the new album. Billie Joe is not allowed to use this word for at least another 10 years.

That's such a bad song. I don't think AI will be taking over the world anytime soon

[WilliamWes]

While I'd like to hear brand new music too, I think Green Day is going to give us a lot more time to digest the stopgap 'Nimrod' box release.  That was only a few months ago.   That release proved that no new single or album is coming anytime soon.   

Getting some unreleased tracks, a whole lotta demos, and a full live show from 1997 is enough to tide me over while I wait.  (And the new book LOL)

Really? I wouldn't call an album we've had for 25 years with some demos thrown on and a live show of which we have hundreds of enough lol also id hardly call that a book

Bad songs top the charts all the time, we're doomed.  😄  I would rather a bummed out song lyrically.   Give up the fight. Lay down your arms.  Discontinue breathing.  You're now brave enough to dream and smart enough to die.   Even a hate letter to Adrienna called Oldsnot.  

1972.

Eventually.

We also had a “new” album at the end of 2021, the 1994-2001 BBC Sessions

I'm stepping back and looking at the bigger picture because I was just on another forum where there is 171 pages of pleading for a new McCartney archive set.  Compared to him who has no new or old product, at least we're getting product in some way - and not just normal product but a lavish boxset that's been their biggest vinyl release if I'm not mistaken.  If that Nimrod boxset sells, then that opens the door for a possible 30th anniversary fancy schmancy Dookie boxset or a 20th anniversary American Idiot boxset or some other album.  These are important to Green Day's legacy and at least they realized they teased 1972 too early and gave us something to make up for the lack of new album.  

We are the hardcore Green Day fans.  I am slutty enough to take anything Green Day want to give me!  Everything's a cherished treasure to me and I don't take it for granted.  I also don't take for granted Green Day are alive and healthy enough to create a new album - I have patience.  Some of my favorite artists are dead and all there is is archive material and I feel lucky to get that stuff.  All of it matters - whether's it a BBC Sessions or a Nimrod box or 1972 or Green Day playing as The Coverups.  We have over 200 songs- like you say - hundreds of concerts to play around with while we wait for one single new album.  As long as they're alive and well and are intending to release it at some point, I don't mind waiting a long time for this moment to come.

The book part was just me joking around about reading my own new book, 'Green Day: Every Album, Every Song' that just got released.

The voice is honestly a solid attempt.

Very superb production.  

87 percent better than American Idiot.   100 better than everything else.    Can't wait to hear it on some really cheap, blown out speakers.
