They gave away the copy of the CD they used for the listening party and two vinyl copies. The entire time I kept looking at that beautiful vinyl copy behind the counter, just sitting there. I thought "I could just take it. Run like hell." but of course I didn't 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I went to the one in Syracuse NY with a friend, we showed up an hour early and I think we were the first ones to check in at the counter for free merch. We each got 2 posters, a pin, a lyrics booklet, and a wrist band. The store got 4 shirts to give away, they had everyone put their names down on some papers and drew names after the album played. I didn't see any physical copies around, and they didn't play Billie's intro. It was pretty chill though, only about 40 people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sanity Loan Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 Drove three hours each way to the closest listening party. It was fun! A little too much talking from folks but overall a really cool experience. Got a poster, lyrics book, pin, and a wrist band. They gave away three shirts at the end. 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cali89 Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 It's true, us Californians are wimps It's like 40 degrees here at night right now and we're freezing our butts off. Billie cracks me up though with his big winter coats 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunt Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I was really surprised at the turn out. They had given away all of the lyric booklets by the time I had showed up, but I did win a shirt at the end. The reaction to the album was really positive, everyone in the store started clapping and cheering after fancy sauce finished. I can’t wait to hear the album again on Friday. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was kind of funny and awkward that everyone stopped and stood around the store to listen. Our crowd was pretty quiet - kept to themselves, but still good vibes. We didn't get the recorded memo instead the clerk started the event by Rickrolling us first! I was into it (it's a good song!). Reckless had plenty of freebies (pins, wristbands, posters) but seemed limited on lyric books. They only got 3 shirts and raffled them off. They also gave away a framed Saviors album, the Saviors LP, and a CD copy, which was cool! Some folks got physical copies of the album early! No prizes for me, but at least I got all the freebies I went to another record store nearby to see if they had any signed CDs for pre-order, ended up hearing the album again, entered another raffle and STILL didn't win At least I got more pins and another lyric book. Overall, I think the album is great! Really like just about everything and already have my favorites (Corvette Summer, Living in the 20s, Bobby Sox). Definitely recognized some riffs - a lot of them reminded me of other GD songs. A recent review remarked that Saviors is a focused album and I agree with that. All killer, no filler. More than anything I think it's so cool that Green Day did a worldwide listening party a week before their album officially releases. It's a cool way to get together a bunch of Green Day fans and experience something awesome together. I love seeing GD fans out in the wild! I feel like most people I encounter scoff at Green Day, so it was nice being in a room full of fans listening to this highly anticipated album together. Thanks @Montclarefor joining me! It was great to meet up again all killer no filler couldnt agree more 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest sounding thing is the second half of the chorus for Living in the 20s. It could be an early version of that or it could just be a scrapped song.

I didn't hear it, at least I don't think so. Either way, for an album full of short songs with very simple and standard arrangements, wow it felt massive! I think my least fave is Suzie Chapstick. Can't say what my favourite was until I listen again properly, but goddamn 1981 is shockingly amazing! A couple of "jam" style interludes or outros certainly stood out, lasting longer than they normally do in GD songs, and damn there's a lot of lead guitar! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mao Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Here's one that was kind of interesting. He said that director Wim Wenders was at the Egyptian Theatre next door. Unfortunately, the listening party in Japan is on the 19th and I can't go because I am 250 miles away, but just watching everyone enjoying themselves makes me happy ☺️ I can't wait for the release date 🤩 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 So great they turned up a small, indie store, love that. Would love it more if I could have been there too of course. Tre said on IG they finished shooting a music video before going…. And passing a blunt around, naughty boy 😂😂.
