Or maybe they don’t care anymore. They used to care. The Trilogy era and releases and playing new music to small crowds seems to be the last time Green Day was really invested into the projects and seemed really excited. The Longshot was pretty exciting too. I don’t know what has been going on with Green Day. I thought 1972 was the new exciting era and getting everyone hyped up and excited. It’s just a let down so far. Hella Mega for life. Only stuff that makes money and sells merch. Re-issues and dead end teases. I think it’s sad that a stolen car gets more hype than Green Day. It sucks that happened but it got more attention and tweets than the band or new music. It’s like a metaphor of holding on to old stuff and getting too comfortable. I miss the Trilogy era excitement. This lacklustre promotion of 1972 coupled with the pandemic and general shittiness and the disappointment of Hella Mega being a greatest hits tour was a letdown over the past couple of years. I also wish they hadn’t toured at all. It was like a contradiction of wanting to stay safe yet exposure to COVID. I’m usually a very positive and optimistic fan. This is pretty bad if even I am losing hope. I really hope I am so wrong. I could be so wrong. This has happened before and then something really exciting happens. Feel ya. The trilogy had so much fun, so much hype and just them being crazy, young and reckless. Revrad was solid but the foam album just killed Green Day for me along with the boring ass hella mega tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted February 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2022 The Hella Mega tour was boring for a lot of reasons -- every show was exactly the same, only the greatest hits were played with nothing from their latest album... covid meant that the bands couldn't hang out and interact together and share that fun with us on social media... they couldn't go out in the cities they visited and interact with fans... Billie wasn't even on social media and other than occasional posts from Tre there was nothing like the backstage, livestream and tour content being shared on the RevRad tour (or the trilogy tour -- remember the Jeff Matika show?) except for highly produced and content controlled brief musical montages of mostly live material shown over non-live recorded audio via Oakland Coffee... the shows were so expensive and due to covid it was hard to attend more than one show so fans also had less opportunity to travel, interact and make memories... due to covid it was hard to bring fans onstage even though they tried just once per show Billie had to keep his distance, and of course... No KFAD! 😄 It may have earned them 67 million and I enjoyed seeing it once, but for so many reasons it was a lame ass tour for those following from home compared to their previous tours. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jengd Posted February 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2022 Blimey, we don’t know much about what’s coming other than the #1972 but that might just be pointing out they are all 50 this year. We have a non-corroborated report (not doubting, just pointing out) that they recorded 6 songs but c’mon folks, life is going on, we are getting through a horrible time and shit happens to everyone. I think people need to chill and wait and see what this hugely creative band come up with next. Maybe even be glad we can be pretty sure there is a next. Sounds like there’s a little self pity going on here lately! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD doesnt owe us anything, not teasers, EP, LPs. This band and it’s other forms of it (longshot, BJA, Network) has given us so much in the past couple of years, I can’t even think of another band that has put out so many music recently besides Weezer I guess? They’re clearly having fun, something is obviously coming out soon, they are rehearsing for the show this weekend. Just chill out and enjoy the ride. Sure, but there’s also no denying that they (or whoever is doing promotion) are clearly abysmal at the hype game. I mean, here I was (and by the looks of things so were many others), all revved up and raring to go, but the excitement has slowly but surely fizzled out. They don’t have to release anything tomorrow, nor indeed do they owe us anything at all, I entirely agree, but you can choose to create excitement and try to maintain it, or you can slowly let it die out. Their current promotional strategy seems to be doing a lot more of the latter, imho. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I see wht you’re saying. but maybe that’s more on us who are desperate for a teaser or some news, but for them it might be the normal pacs of things. All I’m saying is that we for sure know something is coming very soon. So why turn negative when news dont come our way when we think its supposed to come (birthday theory, 1972 coincidential dates). Lets just wait for it. A week ago people were saying the band is breaking up for god sakes! Don’t get me wrong, I am also super excited and checking every day for clues and news, but we don’t have to turn negative and think “ah they just don’t give a fuck” just because we really don’t know what their plan is. That should be the fun part! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy1986 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I think we need to relax Billie and the band have said they want to do this for life and be on of the best bands ever. They are still young and I truly feel are capable and will have huge songs/EPS/Albums coming out during the years and might make rock mainstream. I am very hopeful 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Strychnine Twitch and Mongo Fink should do an album together. They have no beef as far as I can tell. Or maybe Van Gough sitting in for Mike Dirnt while he takes some time off from Green Day. Also, in looking up how to spell Rev Twitch, I noticed some nick-names I hadn't seen before. I knew Jason was Frosco Lee, but Michaelangelo and The Professor for Mike and Tre? Is that real? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
