[FAKE/April Fools'] - "Nevermore" is the unexpected new single by Emlan feat.Green Day??

[GreenDayItaly]

[EDIT: This story appears to be FAKE, it's probably a prank for Spanish April Fools which is celebrated on December 28, Dia de los Santos Inocentes (Holy Innocents' Day) which is somewhat similar to April Fools' Day]

''Nevermore'' by Emlan feat. Green Day will be released on January 1st 2023. There's an amazing story behind this collaboration! 

It all started with Rock am Ring 2022 where the musicians were both scheduled to play on the same day. 'Unfortunately' Emlan injured his ankle and his performance was cancelled. The Spanish musician vented on TikTok and received an answer directly from Green Day!
So he decided to contact them privately on Instagram saying that he would have liked to share the same stage and offered to open a concert. To his surprise, Billie Joe in person replied to him, through the Green Day profile, complimenting him and showing interest in having Emlan as opening act for future concerts.

Emlan releases a new album entitled "Hotel Chiclepunk" (Calaverita Records, 22). And he gets the idea of giving Green Day exclusive socks to promote his album. He contacted Billie on Green Day's Instagram profile and the frontman immediately gave him the address to send them to!

Five weeks later, Billie sent photos from a concert of him and Tré Cool wearing these socks they had received as a gift.

Than Emlan wrote to Billie Joe a new message, saying he had a new song and Billie's voice would be perfect and asked for the opinion of the Green Day frontman. Armstrong greatly appreciated and replied  there were no problems about it and he could sing 4 lines on his song (which, however, should have been presented to the public not as a Green Day single but as a feat.). ''Nevermore'' will be released on January 1, 2023 on all music streaming platforms and Billie Joe will sing the chorus!!!!

Emlan told the whole story through a video that you can watch below: https://youtu.be/mv8St60rUZ0

Well ok cool, the collab is off the bingo card faster than I expected

[legendary]

What a story!!! 

[Redundantuserjinxboy]

Who the fuck is emlan

This is really weird but why not I guess 

[pacejunkie punk]

This is just bizarre enough to be believable. Totally something they would do. I wish they had done a collab with Billie Eilish, their friendship started in a similar way. Looking forward to hearing this (Looks like he’s a Spanish artist so that’s interesting too) Listening now  he’s pretty good.

Here’s the socks:

Haven't heard of the guy but sounds interesting!

I wonder which show it was that they wore the socks. Can anyone do some detective work?

The photos of Green Day wearing socks and that Emlan has posted on his video, i'm sure are from the London Stadium show!

Thanks. Can you also share his TikTok where he talks about this or the initial interaction?

That story was amazing! I love to see their exchange messaging as this happened. Judging by the messages I suspect this collab is 100% Billie but credited to Green Day like he would do. (Sounds like maybe the band also mixed it, and maybe they signed off on it but it doesn’t sound like they play)

The whole legal thing is interesting like this “4 verse” rule that allows him to collab outside of his Warner deal. Thanks for sharing all this. I’m always curious as to how these things unfold behind the scenes.  So he sings in the chorus which is great. Often with his collabs you’re lucky if you detect a signature guitar sound and that’s it.

And no surprise that the way to Billie’s heart is through cool socks haha (and his comment about being too old 🥺❤️) And the way he tries to use some Spanish is freaking adorable and considerate as hell

Did you get coal in your stocking for Christmas?

WAIT. There are some strange things about this story, I'm beginning to think it might be a Panicland-style hoax.
1. The photos of the socks are photoshopped

2. Emlan posted some stories with articles about the song, if you google those articles (from Rolling Stone) , they don't exist, so they are clearly fake/photoshopped.

3. Emlan said that Green Day followed him on Instagram (and showed a screenshot of the follow), if you check GD profile they don't follow him!

4. Emlan said he was supposed to play as an artist at Rock am Ring on the day Green Day had played but his name is not mentioned anywhere in the festival's 2022 lineup

 

[pacejunkie punk]

Wow a deep fake promotional stunt? That’s almost as interesting. I guess the next step is either Green Day confirming it or if the guy gets a cease and desist letter from their lawyers 😂 Whatever it is I’m here for it

[Beerjeezus]

So now Green Day is the go to band to pretend you’re somehow affilliated with?   that’s what they get for not sueing the first time!

RaR never mentioned him in any post or something and he wouldn‘t even share the same stage at RaR. Green Day headlined the Big stage and even the 1st band on the Big Stage is a big name (Donots, they‘re friends with Green Day)  in germany here 😂

The more I think about it the more obvious I think it's an hoax.
Reading the Instagram replies it doesn't feel like how BJA would write.

But Emlan is a real band. Since January 2022. 
If it's an hoax (I'm really sure it is) then what's happening on January 1st 2023?

[þjáningu]

well this just got interesting 🤣   

 

can't wait to see how this unfolds

I love a good prank

[grinsoniko]

its “april fools” day in many hispanic countries today
