Its weird, i remember downloading the “first” play of “Minority” on napster in the year 2000 , the sheer excitement of it.

 

it had a radio audio watermark inserted if i recall correctly 

I remember trying to download a song from Warning that year and then hours later I clicked play and it was Second Street by Pinhead Gunpowder 😂

I miss the days of @GDFan2019 undying optimism and messages of "maybe this week we'll get something!" What has this thread become?

Doesn't the clip sound just like a FOAM song? Like how Sugar Youth took a bit from She's A Rebel, this does it with Holiday. And with the "American Idiot Pt II" potential naming of FOAM it fits. Why all the fuss here, it's prob just an old unused song/demo leak, leave it at that, let's wait till Green Day officially announces something about new material?

Purely speculative here, but my assumption is that the band/management wouldn't be trying so hard to keep it out of our ears if it were old and unused.

It’s not a foam sessions track at least, significantly different production

Fair take but a few months ago, old, unused My Chemical Romance content in the form of brief clips with audio watermarks - just like this - leaked, and Warner were alllll over it. So it's not unreasonable for the same to apply here

[Beerjeezus]

It could be an unreleased FOAM era song they worked on further in 2021

A few pages back today, regarding 2024, I was hoping maybe Rob Cavallo was simply misquoted

I’d like to know what Billie would say if a fan ran into him and asked him about the status of the album, just like when Billie told @TJChrobo about the September-February release window for which turned out to be FOAM. As for 2024, I’m hoping Rob Cavallo was simply misquoted.

I would wonder how that would go. We were talking to him and Adrianne for like an hour that evening about all sorts of things. Astrology, Weird Al, apps he likes, beer, Corpus Christi TX, etc. It was casual and he brought up the album stuff. I didn’t just go up and ask.

believe it or not, I've seen (and also created, back in the day) wilder threads on fan forums.

Wow!!! I can't imagine how nervous and starstruck you must have been feeling!!!

Sorry if I missed it, but what album stuff? What did he say?

Oh right, thanks.

The thing regarding the leaked song is, it was the fans who have the song who ‘confirmed’ that a leak happened. If ‘trusted’ fans with ‘connections’ hadn’t confirmed it, most of us would be none the wiser. So basically what we have is a case of “yes I want to confirm this thing I can’t share with you is true even though it was two years ago and is irrelevant to the current situation, for reasons unknown, but also want to keep my connections to the band intact and respect their privacy and wishes”. 
even though doing so is going exactly against the bands wishes and all sorts of pointless anyway. Really you’ve all just shot yourselves in the foot 👍🏼I honestly don’t get the uproar for an old song anyway, when I first saw the posts i thought something new was doing the rounds. Just don’t see the point now I know otherwise 

[DookieLukie]

It’s basically like overhearing a secret from someone you don’t even know and then telling everyone you have a secret about them but can’t say the details. Crazy the leakers are trying to justify their flex attention grab. Soon they’ll be photoshopping themselves with hover hand around Billie.

How is confirming that something exists a flex? If you have knowledge of something and can confirm its existence, why wouldn't you do that when there are questions about its validity?

It was more than that, though. Comments about how good it is, random quotes of the lyrics, and description of the sound. People were loving that they had some exclusivity, which I understand, but they weren’t respecting the band like they claimed. Respect would be silence on the song they accidentally got.

I missed the days when Green Day was the focus of the summer.

Because it creates a needless buzz. You can’t share the song, so it’s pointless, but everyone now knows it’s out there, and it only takes one week link to undo two years of keeping silent

You guys are really just complaining for no reason

People here are constantly asking for information and waiting for news. At some point, I imagine it can be hard not to say anything if you've heard the entirety of a song, a song that's likely to be released as an album track and/or a single at some point. Idk why it doesn't matter if Matt, or Jason say something about the new album but as soon as someone who doesn't usually have insider knowledge says something like "I heard the song and I like it", suddenly they're bragging and leaking information that the band doesn't want out there

I’m not complaining, I honestly don’t care now I know it’s not a new song, just don’t understand why the sudden announcement when it happened so long ago. Seems utterly pointless and Irrelevant - maybe would have been different if we’d gotten told about it at the time but seems silly now 

[pouty bitch]

I don't really care if people have the leak, talk about the leak, share the leak, whatever. It'll come out at some point anyway and everyone who's heard any of it (likely just the hardcore fans who spend time in these forums) will buy the music when it comes out anyway so not really any harm done.

However

Let's not pretend that people who are holding onto the leak "out of respect for the band" are actually respecting the band in any way. You know that's bullshit. You've actively disrespected the band by listening to and holding onto the leak that you shouldn't even have and then publicly releasing information about it. Regardless of whether or not you keep the leak private, you've purposely gone against the band's wishes for your own personal gain/pleasure/curiosity. Not trying to be mean, that's just how it is.

This thread is getting toxic as the SWMRS one

[green day is]

Is there only a snippet or is there a full song? If there's only a snippet then I heard it but is there a snippet and a full song (OEB) or only a snippet?

Sorry for jumping in being lost I can't read the last 100 pages to find out. Like apparently someone knew about it six months ago too.
