That Dude Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 A return to the 2007 Denim Era where the band were scarfing it up with black and white polka dots and doing righteous covers. BOO CHA HEY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sanity Loan Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 Leave it to people here to take something new that is fun and innocent and “cancel” it because of who it is for.

Popular Post Gwen Stacy Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 It looks like you're the first one in the thread to mention cancelling. Which I hardly think a bit of grousing on a niche fan forum qualifies as. Or are we not allowed to dislike things anymore? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god, lighten the f*** up. Ngl I think that's sort of an odd response to ppl going "I don't like Bill Maher". I don't think anyone really cares either way, certainly not enough to "cancel" the band over it. In fact I don't think I've even seen any criticism of the band here 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well once things become affiliated with Green Day there is a tendency to like them on gdc. Sometimes it’s kinda unfortunate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffoKate Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 At least, from an audio perspective, this silly snippet somewhat fills the craving for new tunes as well as an approximation of what the band may sound like, production-wise, coming up ahead. 🤩 then again, it may be another attempt to throw us off track from 1972 speculations! 🫣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I remember when Bill Maher was considered extremist left wing. Now he's alt right? Man do things change. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think some old white dude who lets the N-word slip out of his mouth from time to time on live TV is a cool guy and not worthy of criticism, then that’s your choice. Weird hill to die on, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where credit is due I adore this band wholeheartedly, but Christ alive, they’ve made some bad choices in the past few years. Collaborating with Morrissey being one of them (which they also said they regret in hindsight). I’ve got to ask, though - are people here only supportive of Bill Maher because he’s a prolific weed guy? Because other than that, as far as I can tell, he doesn’t really stand for anything that’s good. I’m just curious. Please tell me why you like him because I’ve genuinely wondered this for years now.

But Billie Joe publicly conveyed his regrets for this and for the lyrics in the song mentioned before. It shows he cares what he says, not wanted to cause offense, rather than just saying fuck you. We are all human, we all make mistakes, we can't help it. Trying to put things right if we can, if it's possible, shows we care. It's all we can do. When I look back on my life and see the shit I've done and the hurt I've caused and think, how did that happen, if only....... So, what right have I to judge. Only love will put things right, hopefully. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg I forgot about the Morrissey thing 🤦♀️ Yeah this is quite a strange choice for the band. And you'd think they'd be a bit more cautious with who they work with after the Morrissey thing and having to explain themselves using the Gary Glitter sample. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bring it all up again but all that stuff about Morrissey was in the British tabloid press. Americans knew nothing about it because he’s so irrelevant here. Like Billie, all I thought was that I loved The Smiths so I could see him wanting to work with him without even realizing he had to be vetted. Seems like everyone has to be vetted these days. The Gary Glitter thing was different since the dude was literally in prison it made news everywhere and was more widely known. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
