Especially from a band known for how respectfully they write songs about the women in their lives. A book based on "Ashley" would be in hilariously bad taste. They should do that one INSTEAD of Last of The American Girls. 😄 Or a children's book based on Platypus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I don't actually remember exactly what the issue was with the book but at the time I remember thinking it was pretty weird and cringe. So someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the book was sort of talking how to be this cool anti-establishment rebel girl but the fact that it's men telling women how to be is pretty cringe. Like I don't have a problem with the song because Billie isn't really trying to project some standard onto women in that song, he's just talking about the character of Gloria in the song which is inspired by himself and/or people he knows i.e. Adrienne. Even if the song was some sort of "guide for women", releasing it in 2009 is a lot less cringe than in 2019 (which is when the book was announced before being scrapped) The cover of the book is pretty weird too. It's just some blonde white girl in this blue dress with stars on it. Honestly doesn't exactly seem like the type of girl that the band generally appeals to or that the song seems to talk about. But really, it's not a big deal. We don't really even know the content within the book since it was never actually released so for all we know, it's some masterpiece of literature (it's not tho lol). And for me, the main thing that puzzles me is why that song? Like I'll say again that I like the song but it seems like such a strange choice to base your book on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Montclare Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 As I remember, it was just the lyrics to the song with illustrations along with it. That's it. The issue was whoever did publicity on the book worded it poorly, saying it was a guide to being a girl rebel (paraphrasing there). The band just got criticized, rather than the publicist. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThranaM Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Ordered mine today.

Train27 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I would order it but I’m starting my Green Day sleeve on the 27th and I’m gonna be 27! I’m getting the Insomniac Violin guy and also something very special for the 27th on the 27th before my 27th birthday on Feb 1st! Let’s go!! I feel bad for not ordering it but I will be listening on Apple Music and I’ll probably buy the CDs eventually! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/2/2022 at 11:34 AM, ThranaM said: Safe to say that the marketing strategy just continues down the road for each passing year. As I said before FOAM, the marketing strategy is shit. There is no other way of saying it. A live version of songs we've heard so many times already, there is nothing exciting about this at all, we just get dissapointed every time there seems to be someting exciting about to happen. Same goes to teasing new music and how they promote it. Sure, it is fun getting unreleased music from the old times, but the strategy just seems so odd, there is no continuity in what they're doing and promoting. The 1972 teasers that randomly appear and goes silent for another 6 months seems so strange. Releasing live music of songs there are already 100+ versions of isn't exciting, releasing live music from newer tours of songs and shows we haven't heard before or we haven't had so much of must be a better way to promote and make their music known to fans (or upcoming fans as well) i.e. Give me a full show video from the RR, 99R or 21cb tour with songs that's not Basket Case, She, American Idiot or KYE and that would be so much more exciting than a live version of those that we've already seen so many times. With that being said, Green Day do whatever the fuck they wanna do, and that is alright. That is what I like so much about them. The music (even though we've heard a thousand times) is awesome, but please, be a bit more creative. 🙃 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Are the original tracks actually getting remastered? I assumed they were cause Insomniac got remastered but I've not actually heard anything and someone on twitter said that they weren't getting remastered. That can't be true, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says original album on the hype sticker so probably not. Kind of a shame tbh. The album art has the 25th logo still anyways, so there IS at least some sort of difference.

No, but it would be nice to have different audio just so it's not another version... A remix would've been epic. Tbh I think an atmos mix is likely though. Will be really happy if that's the case.
