Mike - We really wanted to put out the best record possible.   Green Day firing on all cylinders.

Billie Joe - Ya know, like, everything is so bad and crazy today.  This is the record we had to make.  Ya know?

Tre -  Poop joke.

This summed up so many Green Day interviews 😂

Do you guys think we’ll get any 1972 teasers and/or news this week? I hope we get a single before next week’s Innings Festival!!! I just read online that despite the MLB lockout, the festival is still on!!!

Did anyone listen to the new Avril Lavigne album? Sounds very good!

if green day released just one song with an instrumental similar to "Break Of A Heartache" I would be satisfied, then they can go back to the path they are following.

Hear me out…Billies latest Instagram story was a wordle thing, but if you see, he only put two rows.

Now look at the colors: 5 white, 3 yellow, 2 green. ITS A MESSAGE.

1972 will have 5 original songs, 3 re-recordings from Dos, and 2 re-recordings from Uno.

Classic Billie with his cryptic and ALWAYS meaningful Instagram stories from midnight

Something interesting I just noticed. Has anyone heard of that Filipino-British singer Beabadoobee? I just noticed that Billie liked her latest post. https://www.instagram.com/p/CaxYnlBohlv/?utm_medium=copy_link

And they were recently in London recording 1972. Collab maybe? 🤔

It’s been almost 2 weeks since the last one!!! I hope we get another one or even an announcement soon!!!

[Bakabanas]

Album May 6th, Friday, single April 7th, Friday.

Everytime I see a Green Day member posting some random beach time photos, makes me think the anouncement is far from close. They should be practicing the supposed new songs, and not in their eternal vacation

So here’s what I find curious. You know how he likes to drop news of what’s next randomly to fans he meets? So here’s a story from yesterday and instead of saying he has an album coming out soon he says they’re going on a world tour (which I assume is Hella Mega but not until June). So is 1972 still a long way away as in after the tour? You’d think he would have mentioned it if it was soon.

She don't recall his name and she love country. Of course he will not say any spoilers to her 😅

He’s probably being very careful with this one. We know very little about this aside from the teasers. Even the insiders in this forum have been silent!

[DookieLukie]

He usually tell people who patron his spots like the Golden Bull and such not random strangers in public places.

[GDFan2019]

They just announced they’re headlining a festival in Asbury Park, NJ in September!!! And yet we still know nothing about 1972!!!

[Alf]

well, or the release of 1972 happens before the european hella mega shows, or it will happen only after they finish this cycle... which would make no sense since the first teaser came in december... but it's something that would fit in their shitty marketing strategies

Does Warner still have any control over that?

Not sure I would want to read anything into this specifically, but I've been saying for a while now that a release timed for after Hella Mega would kinda make sense. I think with those shows simply being rescheduled, it seems 1) the project, whatever it is, would be entirely unrelated to that tour and 2) it might be the worst place to play a bunch of completely unknown new songs.

I mean, the hella mega tour has been criticised by many on GDC, maybe rightly so, but whatever one's stance, I think we should all be able to agree that the band decided upon and signed up for a tour mostly pandering to the greatest hits crowd. 

The 1972 project really doesn't seem to fit into that picture at all to be honest. As such, a release timed for after that tour would make a lot more sense. 

On the other hand, hinting too much at releasing a new project right after those tour dates might still disappoint all those going to one of those gigs who were expecting new songs. Kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't, really.

It’s like…the way I’m thinking, that we wouldn’t have these 5 teasers in such a short time if the release was still a long way off.

Yeah I’d have a hard time believing we’re over two months from something

And like I said, they got the MLB Innings festival coming up next week, and it would be a huge missed opportunity if they don’t release a single before that!

I think you’re right but then as you say it begs the question why start teasing it in December 2021?

No idea and I don't really want to be right tbh, I'd much rather prefer a release beforehand. I admit I quite like the ring of a new EP/album and accompanying tour, Hella Mega being a bit of a cheap/generic substitute, but on the other hand, I don't want to wait that long either. Besides, the band being able to play (and advertise) some of the new songs at Rock Am Ring (which is televised) would also be cool.

But at this point I don't think there's much we can actually deduce about their promotional or release strategy. Anything's possible, really.
