In my house, beers are referred to as cylinders. If I'm firing in all of them, mistakes have been/will be made

 

I mean comparing Green Day to health professionals should be hilarious but not the way it’s being done on this thread by some people. This thread was getting even more boring than usual.

These are quality posts posts though! Some people know what we need! I need to fire on most cylinders and blue pills!

I will be firing on most cylinders tonight!

Happy Saturday!

Hi @Little Boy Named Booze cheers!

I'm more an observer around here these days but just wanted to drop a post to say I'm looking forward to the new era, especially with Rob being back. Despite the trilogy not being their best work, I still think it maintains that signature Green Day energy throughout that I think has been lacking since, apart from the odd track like Bang Bang or Sugar Youth. Trilogy is probably also the last time that I didn't have issue with the sound of Billie's vocals.

 

From a UK fan's perspective, hoping that they'll finally return to play one of the big festivals like Reading and Leeds or Download for the first time ever. Notably they last played R&L in 2013 where they played Dookie in full. My dream would be them returning to the festival but playing both Dookie and AI in full next year along with the new stuff.

 

Just on how commercially successful the new music may or may not be, I honestly think that a large factor in that these days more than ever is how news worthy and visible you are. Blink have been news worthy for the last decade whereas Green Day haven't been for the most part. Members leaving / joining builds up hype, not to mention the amount of features other artists like blink do. The guys in Green Day seem content to keep themselves to themselves which is fine of course, but in 2023 you kind of always need to be out there and visible to remain in society's awareness. Take Dave Grohl for example, the dude absolutely loves being a rockstar and just seems to enjoy being out there and having fun with it, and the Foos are constantly doing shows.

 

Here in the UK at least GD are generally a solid bet to reach number one with their albums, and I'll certainly be doing my bit this time around to try get the new album there too! I skipped the Dookie anniversary stuff because I found the cost to be absolutely insane, but I'm hoping that any new merch will be much more affordable and of course just buying one CD rather than several as it was for Dookie 30 will save the £££.

A band should always make music for themselves first.

THE TRILOGY RULES! Too bad they weren’t quite firing on all cylinders all together for some reason. The bass was tight. Jason White is amazing. Tré is the best. The songwriting is really great on a lot of Trilogy songs. Stay the Night, Fell for You, Dirty Rotten Bastards…

If the new album is like the Trilogy but the band firing on all cylinders it should be really great. Can’t wait! Razor blades. Cherry Bombs. Too Dumb to Die. Bouncing off the Wall. Chasing a Ghost. I don’t know! I’m firing on all cylinders tonight!

Do you think Mutron Jam will be a song on the album?

we can’t have another cylindergate that was FOAM!

That’s a song from the trilogy sessions unless I’m mistaking it for a similar named one

I was disappointed when they didn't include dreamcatcher they should've replaced drama queen with that song 

[ekim]

I remember after I heard their Christmas song "this time of year" in late 2015, being disappointed how different billie's voice sounded weak, extremely high, and whiny, that made me less excited when they announced the new album which would later be titled "revolution radio" but then they released bang bang and I thought wow he's still got it.

Not to beat a dead horse. But I feel like it should also be mentioned that with or without insurance, a visit to the doctor goes from hundreds - thousands of dollars at once. Meanwhile with a band at the least you're spending $15 on a CD if you're into buying physical stuff, and hundreds if you're buying merch and concert tickets. And that's if you're a diehard fan.

I can't imagine equating something as serious as someone performing surgeries and helping cure illnesses to freaking music.

[AlienVisitor]

Do we have any idea who produced OEB ??

It reminds me of classic green day from AI and 21stcbd era.

I'm so stoked if they're going that direction

It’s not free, it comes out of your paycheck. You pay for it in higher taxes and many people still need supplemental private insurance. Not saying universal healthcare isn’t a great thing but it’s neither perfect nor free

I hope everyone understood my earlier comment as a little tongue in cheek (and goodness knows I meant no offense by it). Yes the band aren’t literally life saving surgeons. But as someone who has dealt with a lot of mental illness, Green Day’s music has been nothing short of therapeutic for me. It’s given me a space to question and deal with my gender and sexuality, I’ve made friendships I probably wouldn’t have had otherwise, and has both given me some of the best times of my life and occasionally the will to go on. 
 

But of course my investment in it is more emotional than financial.

this Deep fake is both the scariest and coolest thing i've ever seen

Nah I know but I still think it's way better tho.
Anyway that's not relevant with this thread.

I am with you in this one. The comparison is really absurd. Like my good friend Max Payne said: "everything is a cliché until it happens to you"

I have traveled around the world, met amazing people who I can call my friends, I got laid, I escaped suicide, and I have really healthy and long relationship with someone because this band. Call me what you want, I don't care. Music is important to me as the air I breathe. It makes you think, it gives you confort and dispair, a shelter and a drain. It really helps at a level no medical personnel can do.

I can't imagine how void life would be without music. Nothing can top it.

They can’t. The parasocial relationship means that when you criticize the band, they feel personally criticized too.

Literally the only one being parasocial here is you. Everyone else just sees the band as human beings. You see them as robots who are required to make the music you personally like even though the band don't know you and don't want to make the music you want them to make

A much better comparison to the "I’m going to open a pizza shop and serve burned pizza and say “I don’t owe you anything” when customers complain" thing is a pizza place you're a fan of adding something new to the menu and you saying "This restaurant owes me something that I personally like" when there's plenty of other things on the menu for you to choose if you're not a fan of the new item they've added and you're literally just paying for what you've ordered. If you order something from a restaurant, all that they owe you is to provide you with the product (not burnt). You may like it, you may not. But that's what they owe you and that's what they will provide you with if you order it

why you gotta get triggered so easily? Are you always over the edge? Just ignore the comment if it annoys you that much, it is better for your nervous system and for the community as well. This platform is not made for you to spread your anger and get personal. Just talk about the new music in a positive way if you like or in youre open to criticizing but don't be cursing at other people.

Really funny that you think I'm triggered. I just find it hilarious that people think they are owed music that they personally like. The band don't owe us shit. They can do what they like. If they want to continue making FOAMFs, then fine. I probably won't be into them but that's fine. They're still going to have a ton of fans who will listen to their old and new stuff, that will go see them perform live on tour etc.
