Yeah, the more I hear it especially after re-listening to the whole of FOAMF for the first time in a while, the more I think it's a reject from that record. I had gotten very hung up on the fact that this was definitely not CLA and thought 'it's a demo then' but giving it a few more proper listens there's Butch Walker feeling production all over this - people have already mentioned the claps but as well as that I'm hearing that specific reverb sound panned to the right that was used a bunch of FOAMF, as well as that droning one-chord piano like on MMOTF, Junkies, and especially Teenage Teenager. The guitars and the way the drums don't sound quite right (hi-hat is way too loud/bright) also sounds pretty FOAMF, this is likely pre-final mix by Tchad Blake but had gone through some level of back and forth between GD and Butch before it was scrapped. Just speculation but that would explain why it was on Crush's servers to get stolen in the first place, since there was a lot of remote sharing for that album between them and Walker. 

I know this is a little off-topic for this thread (not that we have anything real to talk about anyway) but this does make me think - why scrap so much of Father of All? Considering we heard some of it on MM2020 it clearly wasn't because they didn't like the songs. Feels odd that they wouldn't have thrown a few of the extra tracks in as filler instead of releasing a 25 minute record, I'm pretty sure reception could've been a little better if there were a few more songs for people to fight over. Again I'm just making stuff up at this point but it's like Walker doesn't even really produce records, he just adds his level of sheen to tracks given and anything that isn't working gets scrapped. No pulling from demos to create interesting arrangements and bridges or last minute song additions a la 21CB 🤷‍♂️

Supposedly it was recording after FOAMF I think, like around the time of MM2020 Pt II, meaning it couldn't be a reject from the album. However, that doesn't mean Walker couldn't have been involved with the song. I mean, wasn't the original plan for him to continue working with them after FOAMF? At least, Butch Walker mentioned at one point that he was about to work on another album with GD or something. But that was before it was announced that Rob was coming back to work on the album

So....I don't know when I got mixed up, but I've been calling it One Eyed Monster for quite awhile and just realized today that it's actually bastard.   OOPS.   Wait!   Are there two songs?  Are they all gonna be one eyed songs?   

"one nine" kind of sounds like "one eyed".     Code words, perhaps?

Very true. Although I think the only source for the recording time is the date it was added to the SESAC database, which realistically doesn't actually tell us it wasn't recorded before then

Let's call it Kiss My Ring, shall we?  

I like that's angry.   We've been getting the sad social commentary tracks for so long, it's nice to get a pissed off song.     While I wouldn't want an entire album of this song specifically, the attitude contained within would be a nice rock n roll vibe that contrasts nicely with the smarter stuff they've done, making it kind of smart in a dumb way.     

 

[That Dude]

at the 55 second mark there is a strange "whoop" sound.  

So I've heard.  

 

[That Dude]

Someone on the Green Day Idiotposting page just said they got a copyright match for sharing the song.   The odd thing is that the artist is listed as Pirate Wax.  Pirate Wax is actually a pretty cool band name. Way cooler than Green Day or say, Panicland!!!!!!

Now, the audio was muted in 250 territories.   How many territories are in the world and how do I create a dude-i-tory?

Maybe he's referring to the forum section on greenday.fm? It's titled 'Idiot Forum".

Facebook group. Now I'm seeing it in multiple Facebook groups.  They are looking like GDC with all the "Don't share the leak, guys. I got banned" posts, haha.  

I'm having flashbacks to the Father of All era as I type this.  Back then, someone hooked me up with an early leak of FOAM.   Oh yeah!

[Whatshisnamee]

The riff sounds like Pink’s “So What”.. i hope this isn’t for the new album and was a FOAM demo and that’s all. It’s a good B side at best. 
 

The 1972 teaser clips sound much better than this in my opinion. The song Billie posted as an instagram story and then deleted a while back showing a mixing desk and this emoji 😈 was miles better. 
 

But yeah final verdict on One Eyed Bastard is it’s not the worst song I’ve heard but nowhere near Green Days best.

Yeah just dropped back in 😂 I didn’t want to spend hours and hours catching up from the last time I logged in. The last time I tried coming on here I had an error trying to load the site. 

[dallasthemenace]

i had to really put in a few extra steps than normal when searching for such things, but i found the entire track. ...i have thoughts...

the song is pretty simple and straightforward. zero bullshit. no fat, no filler. not cheesy or corny like P'anna/HCTS.

it DOES bite that P!nk riff. not even hard, just entirely. part of me suspects this is intentional on Billie's part, in all occurrences. 

minimal (for GD) everything. and kinda tough sounding. bravado and cojones abound.

a nice hi hat shuffle time signature that is a small departure from the 4/4 or 2/4 beats Tre typically plays.

if this is the direction things are going, FUCKIN EH. bring me a record that has this GD and not that fuckin Pollyanna, Here Comes The Shart, sunshine and Prozac fuckery and i'll GLADLY wait til next year for it.

If this is the direction they're going with album 14, I'd say we're in for a treat.

Although i do hope Billie writes better lyrics

The lyrics are awful. I haven’t found a link to hear the song yet. I found the lyrics and can give my opinion on them.

Lyrics - 2/10

But still better than Pollyanna.

There is a dedicated thread for discussing "One Eyed Bastard"

 

[That Dude]

So without One Eyed Bastard...

Thread Dead.  😄 

Album 14 was started in 2021.  We got some teasers through 2022.  Billie said it would probably come out 2023.  Cavallo says 2024.

We've managed to get to 400 pages without basically any info. I'm sure there will be a bunch of random "insiders" at some point claiming that singles are coming really soon and leaking fake tracklists. That will keep this thread alive

[marekpipe]

So , how about calm down and wait until Something important happens and not to write 100 Pages of speculations about nonsense ?

Guessing dates and fake tracklists should be a warning automatically in this thread.
