PursuitOfEpicness Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 5 hours ago, Gwen Stacy said: Well unlike a lot of y'all I was a good egg and waited for the official release to give the song a proper listen in full and I'm glad I did. I did peep the lyrics from the secret show and listen to the teasers on the website so I wasn't completely shocked but I wasn't disappointed either. The instruments all have weight and presence, the lyrics have a deeper meaning to be scrutinized, and the arrangement is interesting (I love how effortlessly the strings integrate into the rest of the song). There's clearly an element of tongue in cheek writing going on with lines like "Goddamn I am so grateful, forever faithful to... / Cracked up into the wild, we're pedophiles for the American Dream is killing me" highlighting the absurdity of America being in love with the concept of The American DreamTM that is slowly killing us. Also of note is that I think this is the band's first Dolby Atmos release and on my surround system it sounds great! The throat clear in the bridge came right through the center channel and gave me a bit of a jump. Bonus points for that. Overall I think it's a great way to kick off the new era. This is how it's done. I think you hit the nail on the head, it has sass that’s similar to their earlier lyrics that I really love. I agree that it overall seems like this era has a lot of great energy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Green Day. SAME. My job situation is not great and I went to two weddings in two weeks without a +1 which really bummed me out and this song came along at just the perfect time for me to at least be excited about something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Q-Man Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 I have been listening to this all day. Wow. My expectations have not only been met, but surpassed. Even as someone who enjoys FOAM, I had kind of resigned myself to the belief that we would only be getting that style Green Day from now on. Afterall, they really don't have anything to prove anymore. The lyrics are inspired, the production is huge, and the promotion (so far) has been the best since 21CB. This song sounds like a mixture of 21CB and the trilogy to me with a hint of Rev Rad. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh100_3 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I’m not huge on the video. I feel like zombies have been done to death and it feels like the zombie craze is about ten years too late. the song is incredible though and that’s the only thing that matters!

That Dude Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The very beginning of the video feels like BANG BANG with the radio reports. at the very end of the video, that's a human the guy shoots, right? Is this Billie Joe's answer to Rich Men North Richmond? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA to the cocktail thread I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, I hope so. I have money saved and am ready to take off at a moments notice (as long as it's after November 8th). Missed all the fun this morning thanks to being slammed at work but I am ecstatic with this song and how this era is shaping up. Nice to see so many familiar faces back on the forum! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rev Posted October 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2023 Finally really getting to settle in and check out the web and how everyone is vibing to the new tune. All i've got to say is I feel like there is something big here. I feel a wave coming. TADIKM is the absolute PERFECT comeback song for the guys. All of the reactions i've seen so far on YT immediately mention it's catchiness, how easy it is to sing along with, and how phenomenally GREEN DAY it sounds, classic. Truly the more I listen the more i fall in love. The slowdown we get so early on with the strings is beautiful. The shot of Zombie Joe Armstrong is absolutely iconic with the slow-mo zoom. I'm getting similar vibes to My Chemical Romance's 'Welcome To The Black Parade' music video when it shows gerard looking up singing and reaching out his arms to the sky. The solo gives me chills. Watching Billie walking up on the car right before he breaks into his riff is such a poetic moment. FUCK I am hyped!! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienVisitor Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Since TADIKM was the last song written for the album... I guess there are way better songs in it ???? I can only imagine so. Btw Fancy sauce sounds like a song written by Tre and Suzie chapstick by Mike. These two are definitely the highlights for me.. can't wait to hear.

I don't think we can really say until we hear the songs for ourselves, but we do know they liked it so much they decided to make TADIKM a single. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudley dawson Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 This may have already been discussed, but does the bridge remind anyone else of Mike’s part in Sex, Drugs, and Violence? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 OH MY GOD! Just watched the music video for this and it was the shit! I really, really hope they put out a behind the scenes for this one! I want to see the boys getting all zombified. I actually did a sketch of "Zombillie" years ago and now I'm inspired to turn it into an actual drawing. Don't know when I'll have the time, though. 😞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Anyone else amazed how such a small change to the shape of Billie Joe’s forehead makes him look so very different?
