Eeefaa. Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 i dunno, i like the song but i was kinda dissapointed :/ i just hope its not gonna end up like 21stCBD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hmm, I see why they picked LOTAG. It's radio- and tv-friendly; the subject of the song isn't very controversial or anything; and a lot of people could like the sound of it, it isn't something only a small group of people would like because of a peculiar sound; and none of the singles have done especially well or something, so they just picked a very safe choice.Yeah, Christian's Inferno could have an awesome video.

jessicARGH! Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Christians inferno needs a video! but i don't think it will happen, it's too fast for a single. LOTAG surprised me, but if Marc Webbs directing he should be able to do something cool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNavdo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 have you not all noticed by now that all the singles that have been released are the ones that dont mention christian and gloria? its highly unlike that we will see the likes of christians inferno, any of the glorias, H&H, etc. alot of people would never understand the songs unless they have the album and to be honest how many of us actually understand the album lol the big mitake was having consecutive concept albums, with warning not being a success and AI being massive, alot of people will think that green day are trying to be a one trick pony when they are obviously not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metanoia Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 ok i have to admit that im really dissapointed with that song.....i mean i like and it'll be ok as a single..but really its one of my least favorite songs of them and there are soooooooooo many better songs on 21st century breakdown....i really think that the video will not be that great too....i cant think of it :/ i really hoped for viva la gloria or the little one.......or rhs !!!!!!!! but last of the american girls.....sorry but im really not happy with that.im sure another song would have been sooooooo better......... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicARGH! Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 ... true, but they may release at least one like they did with AI and JOS, that song revolves pretty much around the concept of AI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femme Gauche Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I really don't think anyone thinks Green Day are a one trick pony. And I know that sometimes songs play on the radio that don't make a whole lot of sense. If people paid that much attention to lyrics, there are a lot of things that wouldn't be nearly so popular.

Izzard Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 er.. why do we have that poll about this, if we're okay with it or not?i don't really think it's a good idea. it won't help any.if the results (which majority so far says 'no') would only be known to us, then fine. but if green day knows about it... I know. I think LOTAG is a great chioce actually, but yeah imagine if Green Day read this thread?? they would be crushed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNavdo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 ... true, but they may release at least one like they did with AI and JOS, that song revolves pretty much around the concept of AIthe thing is that with JOS that basically it was a story within a story that could of survived without the rest of the album but with songs like Viva La Gloria and Christians Inferno, you really need the rest of the album to even just attempt to understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femme Gauche Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 That's not exactly true of "Christian's Inferno" and "¡Viva La Gloria!" ; they are introductions. At that point, the audience listening to the complete album knows no more about the characters than the general audience would.Really, the song "¡Viva La Gloria!" requires no more additional information than does "Maria" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicARGH! Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 i spose, but lets face it the majority of the public aren't looking for lyrical depth in their singles they just want to be able to party to it lol. That's probably why green day don't get to pick singles because they'd want to explore the concept of the record in videos but the label would have other ideas.

If people paid that much attention to lyrics, there are a lot of things that wouldn't be nearly so popular.green day have been called a one trick pony for the last 16 years, ever since dookie people have been slagging green day because most of their songs inclue 3 chords and very rarely have solos and if they do they are very simple solos, we all know how great they are and how underrated they are as musicians but thats cos we have been to the shows and we have seen what they can do.anyways i think green day are going to go back to making songs like on warning cos they arent getting any younger and there will come a time when they can no longer play the pacey songs, especially tre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Femme Gauche Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think they would be the best ones to judge that. "Last of the American Girls" doesn't happen to be one of those songs, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicARGH! Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 hopefull that's later rather than sooner, i love warning but a good fast song every now and then just makes every record all the more epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, I don't think the majority of the people will listen the song and proceed to look deeply into the lyrics, most people will probably just see it/a single in general as a nice song to listen to.

i_wanna_see_the_light Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I really hope they'll play it live now!!I'm still dreaming that they play on this tour the songs of the album they didnt play last year! Like Horseshoes and Handgranedes, Peacemaker, Glorias, RHS,.....!But Im only dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soroush Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think choosing this song as a single was really a mistake.who's the manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothed Out Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm surprised at the choice, but I'm still excited. It's not one of my favourites of the album, but it's their choice and they've made it. So I'm going to be happy and look forward to another video!! It'll probably be released around the start of the Summer Stadium Tour, to get the excitement back up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elissa. Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Ehh...LOTAG is probably my least favorite on the album. But I still kinda want to see what they do with the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I don't think it'll do well as a single, but I love the song, and I'm very excited to see the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
