1972 project speculation thread


GDFan2019

Recommended Posts

Reading the last few pages I’m even more convinced that the biggest blessing and curse of this band is their spanning through different eras of rock and their different music styles, and through different generations of fans and their different music tastes.
Unless they somehow pull out a extremely commercially successful masterpiece that brings in a fresh fanbase as AI did, I think it will be almost impossible to have a new record that will be “universally recognized” as a success, pleasing part of the current fanbase without being hated by the rest of it. Even more considering the current state of society and pop culture where everything needs to be either loved or hated. 
The question to me is whether the band actually cares about this stuff at this point of their career, and whether they should care at all.

Took me a second to get the reference....now I get it, though.  You're confirming 1972 will be Uno Updated! : Updated with worse lyrics.  I mean modern lyrics.  Like Fall Out Boy did for Jilly Boel

Giving the benefit of the doubt that it was tongue-in-cheek

It’s interesting that AI has a new and different meaning these days. To Green Day fans, it could mean American Idiot. Maybe an updated rock opera could be called AI? Kind of neat play on words that references the album but brings it up to date. American Idiot was all about losing your identity. AI can be saying something similar in today’s world with plagiarism, deep fakes and loss of jobs.

Not saying they’re doing this but it would be fun to see Billie try some clever storytelling with the American Idiot/AI thing.

Oh no, I’m starting to sound like @That Dude ! 😂

Could be a cool idiot but also sort of resting on their laurels using their biggest release instead of something new and fresh.

They already re-used their biggest release with a unicorn on it and we all know how good it was.

I wasn’t particularly fussed about the reframing/defacing of the American Idiot cover. That’s a valid artistic move (hell, even Bowie did it). It was the ketchup font I found personally distasteful.

All that matters is Fantano likes it.

And ps Butch knows a lot about modern digital recording methods, he is still very much a pro. Green Day always sounded better on tape though.

It's been a realllly long time since green day used tape. I think I heard somewhere that warning was done with Pro Tools but I could be mistaken, but I definitely remember reading that the reason they chose Doug McKean was because he was so good at protools. I also read that Chris Dugan said they tried doing drums on tape for 21st century breakdown but the transients weren't coming through the way they wanted so they just went digital

-How many songs will be on the album?

-Will there be any hidden tracks?

-What will the artwork look like?

-Who will be the music videos director(s)?

-Will there be choirs or orchestral leanings on the album?

-Is it a concept album?

So many questions on my mind...

Nope they’re cemented already on back catalog alone. A huge part of GD’s success during AI was the discovery of their back catalog by a new generation. 
 

 

Going to try and type this to the melody of 1981:   I wanna hear some Green Day conspiracies!

It's just the snippets out there anyway

I’m told the full songs are out there but I don’t know anyone who has them.

Someone one give us those FOAM demos please. 

A. They aren’t demos, they are full studio recordings. 
b. The red banner you saw when you came to this forum meant nothing to you, huh?

I don't think hidden tracks are really a thing anymore. I can't remember the last album that I heard with a hidden track.

Maybe you just didn’t find the hidden track?
