Exciting stuff in the last hour! Hope some real fans got their hands on this stuff, and not just collectors or jerks looking to sell it for lots of cash.

This Is so exciting... my heart literally sunk when I read the last update though. Just think... how amazing would it be to have a physical copy of this thing?

PS... Why cant I live in California! :cry:

Yeah I guess. It's just weird to see pictures of Billie's kids everywhere like they are some kind of celebrities. Once they start involving them in projects like this, there's no turning back. That's kind of what I meant by "The Armstrongs". It's not like the world's going to ignore anything that Billie does. If they're not careful, the boys will end up on every cover of every magazine that there is.

They're probably not going to end up on the front covers of Heat/OK magazine anytime soon, but it will be interesting to see how they manage their privacy in future. Hopefully, they won't become a sort of 'brand'.

Ah, I see where you're coming from.

I think Billie sees the fact that he can't sheild them from fans and stuff though, that's why he doesn't try to prevent it. I mean, they are the kids of a famous singer/guitarist, they're going to get some people wanting pictures. Also, I'm sure the whole family agreed on doing this, he wouldn't just drag Jakob and Joey into it without them actually wanting to.

I think Adie and Billie are fine with the fact that their kids are getting more attention, and that's good. We wouldn't want them to be overprotective parents.

This is why I hate living next to California. Oh look, just a few hours away is an awesome album that you'll never hear.

My friend, Mari, got the last seven inch and she is mailing it to me! She is such a freaking doll! My identity was stolen recently and other things were going pretty shit - I have a good life, I'm not ungrateful, but this good news is really hitting the spot right now - yay for good friends!

Lol the armstrongs really do like to make us jump through hoops for things, don't they?

Yup they do :lol: the power of music is strong, especially if it's something this rare to happen!

I was thinking about this too. That would piss me off

I hope they were at least Green Day fans of some sort! I don't blame people for wanting to collect it, but that's gonna piss me off if they only did it to get money :mad::pinch:

I don't see that happening, because to be quite frank, they're not famous enough. No one's ever going to be interested enough for the Armstrongs to end up on magazine covers, they're part of a totally different circle where really, unless you're into Green Day, you probably won't hear about them.

I think it'll make small features in some magazines, but nothing like if Green Day were to release a new album. The only thing I could see happening for covers would be if there's a small local magazine company getting the news out and building up some rep. I highly doubt that Jakob and Joey are going to just randomly blow up because of this though :P If anything, Joey's gonna blow up because he's going to slowly transition from EA to bigger bands and kinda do like Billie/Tre :)

If they did this as a Christmas present to family and friends (that they were kind enough to put out a few copies of), then i like how it very well could have been the kind of thing the kids were forced to do against their will for grandma :lol:

Congrats to those who got a copy!

Can't wait to hear it although as a non US resident I surely can't be the only one starting to feel a little left out and dejected by all this stuff just for not being in the right state in the right country at the right time now...

I know how you feel, but basically everyone who doesn't live around that record store feels left out now. I'm sure it'll be available worldwide soon

Precisely it. Then add in the fact that almost certainly a chunk of those copies went straight into the hands of collectors... To me GD has always been an inclusive kind of thing, but little things like this feel exclusionary through geography. Still, we can hope.

This is something that they didn't have to share at all, though. We have no right feeling excluded.

Most bands are exclusive by geography. If you don't live in or near the place where they do, you're probably going to miss a lot of stuff, that's just the way it goes. Do I wish I could've been in the bay area for Metallica's 30th anniversary shows? Of course I do, but I live far away, and I have school and a job. Don't moan about the things you can't change, just enjoy what you can get.

Aw, congrats! I can almost feel your excitement :lol:

Or he just went up to his kids and said "Boys I want to make us look even more amazing and adorable. It's gonna be hard to top Rocky . . . . . . . FAMILY BAND CORNY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

but, GOD. there is only one thing i love more than Green Day, AND THAT THING IS ADRIENNE. SHE IS THE SWEETEST CREATURE ALIVE. *melts down* :runaround:

so uhrm, yeah. i cannot wait to hear the family band play :)

SO this. I really hope someone will share.

Also, I called the store to see if they were going to be online- and they said they had a very limited number and they GAVE THEM AWAY. The guy kind of gently l;aughed at me. I was about to drive 2 hours to oakland to get one. Damn. I really hope some of our Bay Area fans were checking their emails!!!

Can you imagine just hanging out at the record store and in strolls Billie with a stack of 7"? :shok:

None on EBAY yet.....I hope that means its all good fans who got it. I wouldn't grudge them having it.
