DecanoLP Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Has anyone ever thought that GD may have songs that will be on the album but were previously not played at the surprise shows? I think it'd be cool if they surprised us with some songs we haven't already heard. I'm pretty sure there are still some songs we haven't heard so far and will end up on the album. They'll decide on that after recording and mixing, so there's still lots of time to change something. I really hope they'll produce it themselves. Although Butch Vig did an awesome job with the last Foo Fighters record, 21st Century Breakdown wasn't that good compared to their other albums and I'm afraid their new album will sound similiar All I want is Nuclear Family, Stay The Night (pretty sure this will happen), Let Yourself Go, Stop When The Red Lights Flash and some other great ones we haven't heard yet on the new album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity Loan Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm praying to the rock gods that the first single does not introduce major characters in yet another god damned rock opera. Well, "American Idiot" and "Know Your Enemy" didn't do that so I think there's a strong chance of it not happening So I don't know what you're referring to with that When I see posts like this it makes me wish for a rock opera +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Stacy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Does it really matter what they're wearing on stage? Really? No, it just matters what Billie's hair is. ZOMG BILLIE'S HAIR! </sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesobxfan2296 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I hope this albums rocks. I listened to some of the songs played at the surprise shows recently and not too many stuck out to me. I hope GD doesn't let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett93 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I just can't wait to hear all the new songs! I know they'll do their best and surprise us I want to see them touring soon!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope GD doesn't let me down. That's exactly what I wanted to say. I mean the songs weren't bad, but they weren't my favourite Green Day stuff either.

Heather. Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I liked a lot of the new songs and look forward to hearing the polished product. I also hope there are songs that were not played at secret shows, so there's that TRUE element of surprise to them. That and I'm hoping and praying to all the gods that Dreamcatcher gets recorded.

DoodleBob Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm pretty sure they played shows in semi-plain clothes to sold out arenas for over a decade before going to the AI/21CB uniform style. And if you feel 'ripped off' when your favorite band doesn't dress up in what you expect, then that's pretty shallow. I think you are missing her point. I don't believe she was directly refrencing the clothing, but the over-simplicity of the situation you would want to take place. If people are in the back of this big-ass area, and Green Day is all the way in the front just playing music with no interaction and no special effects (aka - "little uniforms and choreographed giant screens and shit") they are going to be bored as fuck. (And maybe you wouldn't be, but yeah. Others will. And since it's the back, it will probably be the less-involved fans, so they wouldn't be as facinated as people like us anyway.) If you're in the pit (or the first couple rows) fine, but if you're not, you mind as well go home. Yeah, it's perfectly fine for Green Day to do that at secret shows because it's more intimate, but when it's 2,000+ people, you need appeal. And if you're in the back watching three boys just play their music straight through, it wouldn't be very appealing. Also, Green Day is known for their live shows. They take pride in it, so I highly doubt they are going to strip anything. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if this tour is the most captivating yet! And quite frankly, if you need Billie Joe to be in plain clothes to be reminded that he can drop-kick your ass, then something isn't right.

pretty_and_demented Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 To mostly everyone throwing a bitch fit up there ^ I just want a good album with the ass kicking songs Green Day always presents. From the early days to the new stuff I feel that they have ALWAYS delivered. I think if you were a true fan of the music, you wouldn't worry about if it was a rock opera, or just a regular album. Or what they wore on stage, their hair, or any of the outter physical appearance. I know I'm fucking READY for the new album. Concept album or not.

tabbycat1596 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm wondering when the new album is coming out, because they're playing that festival in August. I'm guessing maybe either August or September? Maybe July? What is everyone else's thoughts on when it's coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think they will be recording until apil, the they will star going to places and making things just to let know people they still alive...and then summer will come (and I don't really think they will have selling success if the launch it when everybody is on holiday) so september it's fine, imo.

Just because they're recording doesn't mean that they all of their songs are completely ready to go. They might still need to tweak a few or something. If the finished product sounds great, they can take all the time in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you feel 'ripped off' when your favorite band doesn't dress up in what you expect, then that's pretty shallow. I don't care. But some people might. People have come to expect a show when they see Green Day. If you want some dudes just playing instruments - go see Nickelback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleasedToMeetMe Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Are you serious? I bet Green Day could put on the most mind blowing epic concert you've ever experienced . . without makeup, outfits or pyrotechnics! There's nothing wrong with it, it just bothers me to hear people actually say that it takes away from the music and\or entertainment value of the show. I know lots of bands who dress in plain clothes and rock everyone's asses into oblivion . . and Nickleback isn't one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 MTV had a write up about it. Seems they emailed Green Day's publicist about who is producing the album. No word on just who Green Day have brought in to helm said f--- time (an email to their publicist was not responded to by press time), Green Day Start Recording New Album Band hits the studio on Valentine's Day to begin sessions for follow-up to 2009's 21st Century Breakdown. http://www.mtv.com/n...ic-studio.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undómiel Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dookie sold to a massive audience. Yes it did. Then. 1994 was "the year that punk broke", right? That's what people wanted. They're a different band now. And they have different fans. I don't know, I'm sure I'm going to love whatever they do because it will rock but I think I'd be a little disappointed if they went back to a Dookie-esque album, because I know they can do something bigger than that now.

farley drexel hatcher Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Look I think she's just saying that them putting on their rock and roll outfits shows they are Making An Effort, it's part of the show, it's fun. I don't think anyone actually believes the clothes matter. It's not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
