Maybe they were told to get more active there? Hmmm possibly, but tbh I think I'd rather them use twitter for every day things instead of promotion (sometimes that in itself works as better promotion), I wanna know what they've had for dinner or what they dreamt about, I don't wanna see the same stuff as they post on instagram, same goes for anyone on any social media 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official accounts are for promotion, personal accounts are for communication. It's much more sincere when they post the usual everyday stuff like other people do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official accounts are for promotion, personal accounts are for communication. It's much more sincere when they post the usual everyday stuff like other people do. This. And it's all about visibility. Green Day are definitely a force to be reckoned with, but I feel that - even though Rev Rad blew my mind - they have reached a point in their career at which they either decide to become one of those "oldish" bands that are respected for what they have achieved, but not very relevant to young kids, or they get down from their high horse and go meet the masses. And the masses are on social media nowadays, and they aren't satisfied with half-baked promo accounts. Let's be honest, most of the kids have no idea who Green Day are or that they released a new album. Hell, even older people don't really know. All the new bands have grown up with social media just like their fans and they automatically communicate with them there about every single aspect of their lives. That's the reality of the business. How could a band like Green Day ever keep up without a change of strategy? And this came way too late. As you already pointed out, this should've started when RevRad was released, but anywho, we take what we get :-D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted August 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2017 And the three of them are so funny and have personalities that are made for social media. If they put just a little effort into it they'd be great. You're right @melissi_unicorn that's an essential part of self promotion these days. I don't want a trailer for the revrad tour, I want a Q&A or a funny tweet or livestream. I want to know how they spend their downtime and see them just messing around. Some of the recent things we've seen have been pretty good, they have me checking the sites all day for updates. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd love to see a making of RevRad doc, there wasn't anyone in the studio with them when they made it, so there likely isn't any footage. A tour dvd would be our best best, but I wonder what new management thinks of this? I don't know what the financial feasibility is of those documovies and live films these days. Do people buy them (apart from us megafans)? I loved HLAHG and Cuatro! but how well did they sell versus what they cost? BIAB and AAF were at the height of their career, those likely did better.

Cue more imminent set list change up conspiracies (same though omg) I agree that they could do well by being more visible on social media, Melissa hit the nail on the head. They're definitely doing alright at the moment though - they've been getting gradually more active (specifically re: tour and album promotion) since around the winter legs I'd say. Guess it took them some time to figure it out (and the addition of multi-pic posts etc) and find inspiration but I'm sure it's likely management has something to do with it. If they keep posting tour pics and doing lives on instagram (or fb) whilst mixing it up with more up the more personal on twitter that's a pretty much perfect amount of content (so to speak) imo. I feel like I'm pretty observant and on top of things when I follow something/one but I had to turn on notifications on twitter in fear of missing out Edit: also I think that unlike on instagram it seems easier for them and fans to actually communicate both ways on twitter, we've seen some of it already. Which is interesting and exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how you say it - they should have been on Twitter prior to the album release or ideally, Billie never should have left in the first place, but better late than never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
