Seeing how this is in fact a Green Day forum and not a Beatles one, I'd say just about everyone in here cares.  It is impressive that John can still sing after being dead for almost 43 years! 

Exactly paul however needs to retire that guys vocals are cooked still a brilliant composer and musician but his voice sounds like it was left in a microwave on defrost 

[That Dude]

The video takes Basketcase lookiing Billie and then does the strobelight thing from American Idiot.   Oh and since we keep taking Beatles, Green Day are stomping all over them in terms of views at the moment.  I'm sure that will even out a little after some time passes but way to go, Green Day!

that's exactly the vibes I got.

I think that Bobby Sox will be one of the favorite songs on the new album. Although Look Ma No Brains doesn't sound excellent when listened sepetately, it will fit and sound better when listened with Bobby Sox back to back, which will make its way to One Eyed Bastard.

Fingers crossed for Bobby Sox

And btw, even if a lot in here hate 1981, i think 1981 could be muuuuch better and will be better than LMNB if there arent technical Problems or fucked up voice billie

What exactly does single mean nowadays though?

If it just means pre-album release track, then yeah. It's a single. Probably in the same way as Fire Ready Aim or Meet Me on the Roof.

It's definitely not a single in the way TADIKM, Father of All or even Oh Yeah! were singles that actually got some kind of promotion with teasers, TV performances etc.. I still think they're probably going to continue to promote TADIKM over LMNB on TV performances, live shows etc.

I can see them maybe releasing a more ballad type single next, and then maybe releasing 1981 as the final track we get before the album. I don't want them to go too overboard releasing new unheard songs before the album

It’s a song they chose to highlight with a teased release, a video, social media posts, and a live performance at WWWY and Amazon. Seems like feel it should be in the spotlight over other songs.

Love the Ramones and Basket Case vibes!

So those of you who aren't digging look ma, what did you think of the longshot? Because this song give me Longshot vibes

These days with streaming/downloading, it means what it says a single, one song.

In the, dare I say it, the good old days, a GD single, CD, was, in the main, never a single. You got anything from 2 to 4 songs on the single. Especially live tracks which you can't stream/download.

The last CD single I think was Bang Bang, which included a live track of Letterbomb. I do miss them, but hay times change and streaming/downloading is more convenient. 

One question if I may. I downloaded this song for £0.98, $1.19. How much of that will the band receive, is it profitable over CDs?

[Virtuous Xman]

To me the song is great.  A punk rock green day song.  Which is fine.  Not trying to break new ground, just hard edge and keeping it moving.  At this point for the band I just want them to keep making good songs that I can drive down the street to and rock out.  More then likely it will be in my top five tracks once the album drops as well.

I really like this song, great to read some comments on Facebook/YouTube from casual fans - ,that this is the green day we know, this is the green day we love.'

It's really heart warming.

All we remember reactions over foam/oh yeah.

I like the song. It’s not as good as TADIKM, but it doesn’t have to be. It‘s fun and catchy and has old-school Green Day vibes. Confirms my theory that this album will cover different styles of Green Day‘s career. 
I think it’s meant to promote the tour and create more hype for the new album. TADIKM is still the lead single and I’m sure it’ll get more airplay and will be promoted more. But people’s attention spans are just super short these days. Like I mentioned before, Blink released 6 songs before the album came out, that’s just the way music works these days. We’ll probably get more singles before January, but I’ll only listen to one more new song.

[Alan86]

I wasn't really into "TADIKM" and was kinda worried I might not like the new stuff, then within the first 10 seconds of "Look Ma, No Brains" I was dragged back in. God I love Green Day.

[StefanD]

I think the biggest issue the band constantly faces is, a lot of the community always expect an album full of "epic" songs when in reality you can only write what you can write and are inspired to write. Look Ma is a super catchy song which will feature heavily in the rotation for mine but we have been SOOOOOOO blessed with such a large catalogue of songs which I think can be overlooked at times. 

[DookieLukie]

Ignore T Swift but I like this edit lowering his pitch into more AI-esque. More power.

[Alan86]

Also when the instruments first kick in, for about 2 seconds I thought it could have been Blink 182 Rockshow

In your opinion* 

[DookieLukie]

Really don’t like the new blink record except for Terrified. It’s also really poorly mixed.

Why people are still doing this kinds of comparisons? The bands are not competing to show who is better and they're completely different bands sonically

Just enjoy we are still getting good music from them

There are a couple of songs on the new Rancid record that are better than some songs on the new Blink album.

All these bands have their own styles. That's why I find them uncomparable. Apart from a few songs their styles are not similar.

Please dont misunderstand me. I respect your opinion as well my friend.
