They're gonna record album 15 in Canada.
A canpop album.

Ever since Tim Hortons died it hasn't been the same

Billie was thinking about a straight up fast paced, punk rock record.  But that would have been a bummer for a lot of people.  Then thought about Brit Pop and Power Pop,  but decided on a mixed bag, an album of variety which is great.  I don't know if this is good or bad, but Green Day kind of have to do variety on their albums now.  All britpop, all punk rock, all 60s groove thang, it wouldn't go over well.  

I guess what I'm getting at is...album 15!!!!!  What could possibly be like? 

Speaking of variety, Nimrod. It's different genres of punk in one: the signature punk sound of the 1990s Green Day, hardcore punk (Platypus, Take BACK), ska punk (King for a Day), and others, instrumental music (Last Ride In) and acoustic rock (Good Riddance)

Finally an album that Foiled Can / Boiled Can can fit on.   Foiled Canada / Boiled Canada.  😄

If Foiled Can is there then bring in some old shit! Boys in the Bathroom Stall, Minnesota Girl... maybe even bring the rock Christmas album from 2002-2003!

[Flashback]

Album 15 will Magnum Opus of the Inglorious Kind. Trust me. Oh and that was (or still is being 😎) recorded in Canada @Little Boy Named Booze

Noooooo, please not yet,

Okay.  After Basketcase hits a billion streams but before American Idiot hits 900,000,000, deal?  😉 

But earlier than both if we hear anything real related to Album 15, which we will now call by it's working title Cubscout27.

My vinyl finally arrived!!! and boy does it sound glorious. Rob's production is just so so good.

The title does sure sound like someone at the studio was baked... heh

If we get a 6-song EP named 1974 with both Heroin Pops and Kill Whitey I think I will have genies in my room.

Tre signing with a different drum company?

An EP but all 6 songs are 10 minutes a piece, called the Long Short Of It, haha.  I gotta go see if any of my other Green Day cds are enhanced...this 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hour stuff is amaze-balls!   Oh and Saviors this, Saviors that, bada bing bada boom.

That old album?  It's been out for like a month.   Haha    I'm definitely basking in Saviors, particularly Fancy Sauce and Strange Days are here to stay.   The lyrics sent me down a rabbit hole of all this stuff about Bowie's death and it's pretty wild.   

 

[That Dude]

Interesting to look at the ups and downs of Green Day's album sales. 

Up with the first three records, down with the next three records, then up with idiot, down with Breakdown, then down, down, down with Trilogy, up with Revolution Radio, down with Father of all and so far, down with Saviors.  

up, up, up, down, down, down, up, down, down, down, down, up, down, down.    This isn't a bad thing.  After all, nobody has 14 albums all tied for first place with 28 Million copies sold, that'd be crazy.    I won't try to make a pattern out of the ups and downs - that's a little beyond my fandom.   But you can if you want.   Are we in for 2 more downs before getting an up?   Will Album 17 be a huge spike in albums sales?   Uh oh, I'm doing it.   gotta bounce.

I wonder why he would leave if he loves them so much. Was it just a limited ten year endorsement contract and they got outbid by another drum company?

[Little Boy Named Booze]

Yeah Tré isn't on the website anymore

Oh you could be right, I hadn't read the last bit properly but he does say "it's been a great ride" so sounds like he is leaving.  

[DannyDirnt]

Hi everyone! Man it's been a looong while since my last post. I hadn't been listening to Green Day too much for the past, what? 10 years? But these past couple of days I was feeling frustrated with my life and listening to love pop songs just wouldn't cut it. I wanted to RIOT! So I instantly remembered Green Day and felt like listening to some Insomniac and Dookie to let it all out. After a while I really wanted to listen to the newer stuff (post Revolution Radio) to find out if they were still as good as I remembered and BOY was I pleased!

I absolutely love this album!! Personal favorites are TADIKM, Bobby Sox, Goodnight Adeline, Corvette Summer, Suzie Chapstick, LIT20s. As a gay fan, I was elated to hear the lyrics to Bobby Sox for the first time . My only gripe with Saviors is that, at certain times, some of the vocal melodies feel a bit forced (i. e. the final inflection on the phrase "Hit me with power chords" on Corvette Summer). It's like I'm singing along and Billie suddently... overcomplicates the melody? Not sure if I'm getting my point accross here.

Anyway, I've been listening to Green Day non-stop the whole week and I'm ecstatic to be back. It feels like finding a part of myself that was long lost. It feels like home.

 

P.S. I'm giving myself a break because I don't want to burn myself out with this record. But I hope I can do my little review with my scores for each song in the coming days.

Green Day could just replace Tre with someone else who play's SJC.    Let's see.....Jay Weinberg!  Tre could join Slipknot and everything would be perfect.  Haha  I love GDC.   Just when I think I'm a little too obsessed with Green Day or that maybe I should chill a little bit, you guys find info on these angles of the band I never even dream of.    Guitar pick ups, amps, drum brands.     What other aspect of this band am I missing out on?   The brand of glasses they use?   How far behind am  I at collecting all the plates Tre Cool has made in his free time?   I bet I'm not even the runner up or the last one to lose the race, because one of you has already purchased all of them for a sum of money that would make a Dude a little bit jealous.   lol.

Brandon Steineckert from Rancid plays SJC. When I saw them live he had a shiny silver set that was just beautiful. I couldn’t stop looking at the drumset.

Think about this: The next album will very likely be the last of the 20s.  Then we'll be living in the THIR-TIES.

They can do Album 15 in Canada, but I'm getting them down here in South Carolina for 16.    Fans think they hated what Butch Walker did with Green Day, they haven't heard ANYTHING yet.   Muhuhuhuahua.   I mean.....everyone will love the DUDE direction I put Green Day.   Yeah.....it'll be great.
