Undómiel Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Everyone keeps doing the bloody maths between the albums but seriously, who cares? Just because that's been the pattern up till now doesn't meant that it'll continue. I don't think BJA sits at home having finished a song/album and looks at his calender going "Nope, gotta wait another four years otherwise the sequence will be broken"... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary711 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I don't think so either. It's not realistic to have a band waiting that long on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 even if we don't have a 9th studio album coming out soon, we still have KCUF rebel radio, the AI movie, AI on tour and HLAHG to look forward to. plus the guys always do some shows and tv appearances in between albums.

But I think a 2013 album would be realistic. I can't see one coming out next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesobxfan2296 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Let's do some calculations. from 1039/smoothed outt slappy hours (1991) To kerplunk (1992) = 1 year From kerplunk (1992) To dookie (1994) = 2 years From Dookie (1994) To insomniac (1995) = 1 year From insomniac (1995) To nimrod (1997) = 2 years again From nimrod (1997) To warning (2000) = 3 years From warning (2000) To American Idiot (2004) = 4 years From AI (2004) to 21sr CB (2009) = 5 years Anyone see the pattern? What if we get one in 2015? Yeah I see the pattern. Someone else pointed that out sometime back in the thread. I sure hope it won't be THAT long. Although I think it would be more realistic for Green Day if they waited till then...or even longer. Something tells me that a new album next year is just wishful thinking. From what I read on Bj's twitter, the band doesn't seem all that serious right now about it. I wouldn't be surprised if they waited another 5 years and just did the Foxboro Hot Tubs and other side projects in addition to all that they've been doing lately (Billie possibly starring in the AI movie, etc). I hope I'm proven wrong next year though and they bring out an album next year but like I said, I think it's wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farley drexel hatcher Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Maybe this is a bit harsh, but ... if they wait another five years to put out an album, they'll all be in their mid forties. Somehow I don't see them wanting to wait that long ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rolling Stones are near their 70s and they're still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcloughlin Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Late 2012 would be my guess. I dunno, I doubt they'd release a new album at the same time as the AI movie, and 2014 is a bit too far off (I think anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four. Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My guess would be 2013 after the movie. I think they'd want to clear everything with the movie before going on tour and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farley drexel hatcher Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yeah, so? The Rolling Stones are near their 70s and they're still going strong. Yeah, but Green Day aren't the Rolling Stones. Nothing to do with how good they still are, but I just don't see them wanting to wait that long to put out another album. Five years is a long time for them to be making an album.

Four. Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 They've waited 4-5 years before to make an album. Why not now? I'd honestly rather have a quality album than a butchered shitty album because they were pressured into releasing it earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett93 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'll wait as long as it will take them to finish it bet they'll have more surprises for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasalaska Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My best estimate is late 2012 or early 2013, purely on what Freese told me, Liz and Jaymee. He was very certain that it wouldn't take anywhere near as long so I'm holding him to his word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd honestly rather have a quality album than a butchered shitty album because they were pressured into releasing it earlier. It took them 4-5 years to get 21st Century Breakdown out after American Idiot. The guys have claimed that they wanted to get it out sooner than that but I'm still gonna stay skeptical and assume it'll be 5 more years. Although I see what you are saying. That time interval sounds much more reasonable to me than next year or the year after. Seeing as how the guys like taking extra long breaks from Green Day.

Hermione Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yeah, but Green Day aren't the Rolling Stones. Nothing to do with how good they still are, but I just don't see them wanting to wait that long to put out another album. Five years is a long time for them to be making an album. I agree. I don't think they're old at all and I think they'll still be going strong as a band long after their 40s, but the band themselves often bring up the fact that they're getting older. Billie's been describing himself as middle aged since he was about 28 . They seem to be very much aware of their age so maybe that'll give them another incentive to be a bit quicker this time. I'm sure it's not the most important factor or anything but it could give them a little push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary711 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I always thought about a new album in March 2013. I don't know why, just a feeling Well, I'm still hoping for 2012, but we'll see what will happen But I don't think they'll take another break of 4 or 5 years.

Neon Light Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm secretly hoping for 2013 rather than 2012 because I'll be away most of next year and unable to attend any shows/listen to the album properly for most of it. So yeah...2013 would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesobxfan2296 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Guys I think I found an article that said (Not sure if this is correct, but You can read it here) that they were back in the studio working on their next record. For some reason I find this very hard to believe. I think if Green Day were really back in the studio, Green Day and/or Billie Joe would have let us know by posting the news on Twitter. According to what Billie has posted on his Twitter a month ago, it seems like the only thing that GD is doing is just playing songs together in a room and not actually recording it. Although the fact that Green Day started writing for the album last year and Billie told us that they were now playing songs together everyday makes me think that we might not have to wait too long to see another album hit stores.....I hope.
