I don't know what to think about the new site. It seems more a like a prank than something else.

Still, hope it brings something good, even if a meme based stunt is not my preferred way to make hype

i will eat tré cool's drumset if this turns out to be a prank

I don't post on here very often, I just come to read. I think what we all need is some new bangers. I don't think there is any possible way they can top the American Idiot era though.

Imagine they comeback with a song like bang bang

If this was a prank, I don't think they would've cared about it enough to share it. This is 100% their marketing strategy!!! By the way, the GreenDay_info Instagram said the promotion would start in September, and here we are!! This is the beginning of the promotion!!!!!!!!!!!

it'd be pretty cool if it could be leaked early on reddit like how "you irritate me" was

Billie posted a story about the Dookie release but the font he used is in pink 👀

And a white one, and a red one and a green one. I don’t get why everything they do isn’t green.

Damn sum41 is rocking on with its' new single. Their last album order in decline was the best album of the year for sure. I hope sum41 will tour with green day

They said Heaven x Hell would be a separation of "old school" Sum 41 in Heaven and the newer, rougher, harder Sum 41 in Hell. They seriously hit the mark with that the new single, it's absolutely old school Sum 41 and it's such a good song. Really hoping Green Day can strike gold here too. If they do, then this is just the greatest year in a while.

[Christian's Inferno!]

Honestly think the new Sum 41 track is probably the worst single they've released. It's so generic. Nothing interesting going on with the guitars even though there are 3 guitarists in the band. Ik it's on the pop punk side of their double album (which is half pop punk and half metal) so it's going to be more simplistic than what they've done the last few albums but even comparing it to their older pop punk stuff (AKNF, Underclass Hero), it's really underwhelming

I'm honestly surprised the song is getting the amount of praise it's getting

Idk why BB was ever removed from the setlist. Although tbf idk why they've ignored everything from 21CB onwards apart from Know Your Enemy and 21 Guns

Yeah I heard that too. That is such a cool concept.

BB and RevRad were absolute bangers live. I agree that I don't like that everything from 21CB has been ignored. Stuff like Static Age, Viva la Gloria, Before the Lobotomy, etc. were so good live and I wish they'd bring them back. I honestly believe the setlists from the 21CB tour were the absolute best. There was a surprising amount of variety from show to show, with a solid core, and the balance between old and new was fantastic.

yeah 21st century tour was the best. Billie's voice was just out of this world lol. It is just after perfromace in seville in 2019 they started to decline. I guess covid was the reason.

Might change today. But at this point I'm basically just waiting for start of October. Because none of us are going to figure out what the album title is based on the clues we've got

So far it has changed every 2 days, so it's due today.  I understand the site is located in California. It's last update happened around 12 noon Pacific Daylight Time. Here in UK it was around 8 pm. Maybe lol.

And to you. I'm having a Dookie day today, as per my post in that topic.

And remember, don't just say 'have a nice day', but always say 'have a nice Green Day', coz every day is a Green Day, lol

When I listen to bang Bang I still feel the feeling when I heard it for the first time, on KQRS Radio they were giving a preview, I got so emotional for how beautiful it was I cried ahah

Agree with you 100%. Theres no way they can top American Idiot.

They’re so far from that now, they’re getting older and American Idiot is just THAT good. Even if they did do something of equal or more quality it still will not be the same. Even if they top the heights achieved in that time, still not the same!

But yes what we need are a handful of some solid radio hits and of course a deep album. On Revolution Radio we got a good handful of hits for airplay but we didnt get that deep roster of tunes. Rev Rad thinned out in the middle. With Foamf we had 1-3 interesting tracks but as a whole effort it wasn’t concise and honestly way too short.

Bang bang shocked me when I heard it because I was not expecting that after the singles picked in the trilogy. What a nice surprise. Sounds a bit like Bad Religion.
