It is a point of frustration about how little of this is known or taught in UK Schools. Don’t get me started about the food shortage (Or Famine) that happened in Ireland when it was under English rule. The English had food made in Ireland sent back to the UK and only offered it to Irish people if they changed religion (from catholic to protestant) or refused to stop speaking the Irish language. This resulted in over a million people dying and a million people leaving the country. The English also took land off Irish families (including my own) Apologies for the rant . I guess my point, if any, is Green Day may want to thread carefully around this. It’s still very much an emotional topic in Ireland. I am sure they will treat the situation with the dignity and respect it deserves . Maybe discussions like these are exactly the point of the cover photo. It's provocative and ignites conversations and people are learning history. History is fucking ugly. We shouldn't ignore it. Punk rock is political and provocative, or at least it should be. Good on them. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there are YouTube videos that can explain it pretty well, so I may take a look at those. I did the same with the recent situation in Gaza because I was having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how we learn from the past and grow together. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure someone else will give you more details. The quotes, I am guessing is to query whether they are our saviours or not, or alternatively, in line with the American Dream not being all it's cracked up to be for many, then the supposed saviours could be church/religion or leader, political or otherwise. As with the best of Green Day (to me) it's ambiguous, you are to take your own meaning from it. Interesting the chose a photo from an Irish historical event and not an American one. I guess it’s the message that counts not accuracy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t just switch out the item for something else and expect you to just deal with it. They’ll just need to eat the mistake and allow that ones that came in before they realized.

Saviour Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I've said it once, and I'll say it again. IMO that photo was chosen because the band / designers thought it was striking without any consideration of its context.

Popular Post Little Boy Named Booze Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2023 As read on another website “A coworker of mine who does security for industry events here in LA worked the Warner Records listening party for this album. He’s not a massive Green Day fan so he couldn’t remember all the song names but the one he said he could definitely remember was “Father To A Son”, which is apparently about Billie losing his dad at a young age and wanting to be the father he never had to his own kids, something along those lines. He said that song was particularly emotional and that everyone at the listening party was blown away by it. So if all this is true, I’m looking forward to that one for sure” 11 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, why the hell is Green Day no longer playing Bang Bang live? The single did relatively well, didn't it? I'm hoping they will bring it back in 2024 and each time they chant "No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!" Together, Green Day and (mostly) Taylor Swift can make sure Trump loses. Again. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
