That Dude Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Christian's Inferno! said: When fantano was asked about American Idiot, the only complaint he could come with was with the political commentary even though only 2 tracks on the album have political commentary. Like if that's your main issue with AI, it must still be a pretty good album. It really just seems like he doesn't want to like any Green Day albums from the 00's onward I actually talked to Fantano in person about Green Day and Against Me!. I don't remember specifics but he didn't knock me when I told him I was obsessed with Green Day and they were my favorite band. When he gave Father of All a zero though, that was a tragedy. A ZERO? Like utter, complete garbage? Even the harshest among us have a song or two, like Sugar Youth - that you find not ghastly zombified poop juice. So....were any of you guys in the video? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PluckyJokerhead Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Heard on Radio X earlier that this was the last song written/recorded for this record. Wonder if that's what they were mixing earlier this year when we all thought the album was essentially finished? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Viva la Gouda Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 The production quality of this video, my god it is extraordinary! Such vivid imagery that it took me two initial watches to realize the entire thing is in black and white. I loved the 21CB era not only because of the insanely good music, but also the art style. I’m loving the similar vibe and callbacks: Molotov cocktails, climbing flames, characters standing on cars, graffiti….damn it good to be alive. Or I guess, “alive” in Green Day’s case. Also, did anyone else see the zombie actor get clocked in neck at 1:32? 😂 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Christian's Inferno! Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 It's actually really interesting how we went from Pollyanna "It's wonderful to be alive" to "The American dream is killing me". Do you think that it was maybe intentional to release this song first partially because of this? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nflsbest26 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Green Day just posted can’t wait to play American dream is killing me “again soon 😉” Besides the Amazon headliners, perhaps hinting at club warmup tour before euro/US stadiums? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is a fast turnaround but that song came out when we were emerging from the pandemic grateful to be mostly unscathed and appreciating life again. Unfortunately the stresses of that time caused a lot of societal problems to worsen and we’re dealing with those today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dudley dawson Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 1 hour ago, pacejunkie punk said: Cool! What was the direction like? Were you all told exactly how to act like zombies? Did the boys interact with the crowd at all between takes or before/after? Yeah there was some very basic direction and zombie lessons, but it was clear who the actual paid actors/extras were vs the fans lol. Tre was playing the drums a bit in between takes, and the other guys interacted a bit with the "hordes" that were surrounding them on the stage. They all seemed very cool and down to earth though! 1 hour ago, cav9mm said: How did you get that gig ? Sounds excellent btw.

It does make me wonder if the rest will be so politics driven given what we've already heard in 1981, Look Ma and One Eyed Bastard. Although I'd like to think that 15 tracks should lend itself to that variety - a bit of humour and a bit of serious stuff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Going to be weird for everybody singing along to that one part, yikes! Is it better or worse than singing along to American Idiot or American Eulogy? Wait a minute....that's the pattern! Every song with American in the title has to have a slur / bold statement with sarcasm. Interesting. Still, be conscious if you're walking around singing these songs out loud. You might have troubled times. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
