Bang Bang

Bang Bang is a great track. But I like Somewhere Now/Forever Now a bit more 😄 oh and let's not forget Revolution Radio

It’s not, and he doesn’t.

I knew he meant the single. So it makes sense for the album to come out in February

Please not a promotion cycle between September and February again 😨

I’m sure the wait wouldn’t be that long again. So here are some possibilities

October single, February album

September single, January album

September single, October album

Technically fall is until December 21st, so single in December and album in January/February would be also possible 😄

Yeah but would it do well at a time when Christmas songs are getting the most streams and radio play?

Why does it make sense to come out in February? What indication have we gotten that February makes sense?

I've only listened to the song in full once. Cause as soon as I heard it, I was like "This recording is shit quality. I want to hear the studio version of the song". I literally just can't have an opinion on if this song is decent or not until I actually hear the final version". The lyrics on genius just seems like random shite that doesn't mean anything but the lyrics are probably largely incorrect because of how low quality the recording is. Or I'm just not getting the lyrics. What does the chorus "She's gonna bang her head like 1981" even mean?

What if that's not even what he's saying in the chorus?  I once misheard a Green Day song so hard that I can never unhear my version, even 11 years later.   It was Oh Love.     "Far away / Far away / this amazing night!" 

I do try and answer your answer in this spiffy youtube video though.  ;)

Yeah, would not be surprised if they announce the whole thing by When we were young (October 21) to use those two dates as a promotion platform. 

Or what about Louder than Life in September?

Yeah everything is possible, but at least from an international perspective I think WWWY has a bigger name and impact. At least last year everyone everywhere was talking about it.

Didn’t MCR release Foundations of Decay around that time last year?

May 12th, 2022. 

And then nothing afterward.  But most people assumed the song was a stand alone thing and probably not leading up to an album or more songs.    We WANTED more, but we knew the deal.

Teasing this song and making us wait maybe 4 months for it is brutal. Casual fans who heard about the debut will have long moved on by then.

I don’t think having casual fans knowing they have a new song and/or teasing hardcore fans was the goal of playing it. IMHO is more likely they just wanted to try something new, a maybe give a little candy to the fans attending the festival.

I bet most GDC people played the song non stop and are already sick of it by today.   lol.   I'm looking forward to getting a clearer understanding of the verses and I think we'll be very surprised by the real lyrics when they arrive.   Big changes compared to what they performed.     And you know what?   1981 might not even be ON their next album.      Think about THAT.     Stand alone bop to keep the fanbase from FREAKING OUT because Green Day 14 is still very, very, very far away.   Could be like an Olivia or Dreamcatcher.    Played a few times and then gone....into the ether of time, space and coffee.

Billie (perhaps deliberately) didn’t even say it was a new song. Casual fans probably just assumed it was another deep track they didn’t know and forgot about it quickly thereafter.  This is not meant for promotion. I think they just wanted to give something to the uberfans that would recognize it as new and also (possibly mainly) to try it out and see how it sounded live. 

Yeah. Didn’t look like they even rehashed it that much, and if there was any promotion intention behind it why not playing it at the Harley festival as well and/or make any mention of it on social media? Looks like a quite spontaneous move to me.

That is quite strange of a choice, if they release a professionally recorded live version of it I can see it.

Because playing it at the FEQ only was a better decision!
