DannyDirnt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Oh I love Nuclear Family. I listened and sang to it all day at work. I just have such love for Stay the Night. Like I haven't felt this way about a Green Day song since Whatsername. And I want it to be shared because I know others will love it. It just feels like they are hiding it unnecessarily at this point. If this makes you feel better, it has an official live video. Last song that got one was LYG and it's a single now.

josh_oliday Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 If this makes you feel better, it has an official live video. Last song that got one was LYG and it's a single now. I've watched the video a couple hundred times. I know. And as for LYG, it's debatable. I think Green Day just told Warner "Hey we're playing LYG at the VMAs" and Warner scrambled to get it out so they could get some extra downloads after playing on such a huge stage. I don't think it was supposed to be released as today I got my email with the download link and it said, this is not counted as your third single download. You will receive your third download at a later date (paraphrased). So yea not really sure. But holy God I cannot stop listening to Nuclear Family.

Guest Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This song fits right in with Warning. All the singles have been different styles.....along with the whole confusion over the single releases, this album has so far been "fucking with my head".... Good thought, and it might explain why I'm feeling less than optimistic about Uno. Warning is one of my two least-favorite GD records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm just incredibly confused right now about what the word "single" means anymore. It used to mean release to radio and a music video, simple. Now we've got 4 songs and I've only heard 1 on the radio and I don't even know if this is a real music video or just something they decided to "put out there." I love this song, video is fine (like a studio update), but I'm just really confused 'what this means' and how exactly this serves to promote the album whatsoever to anyone who isn't already paying close attention. If it's just for us diehard fans, great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Bras Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 im sure that Nuclear Family isn't a Single. and this isnt a Music Video ( I mean like, Oh Love, Kill The DJ etc...), this is just another surprise of the guys, but its not like what happen with Let Yourself Go. If is a SINGLE it would have a Artwork like Oh Love, Kill The DJ and Let Yourself Go, and also it would be on Itunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lights Flash Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm just incredibly confused right now about what the word "single" means anymore.

I love this song, video is fine (like a studio update), but I'm just really confused 'what this means' and how exactly this serves to promote the album whatsoever to anyone who isn't already paying close attention. If it's just for us diehard fans, great... In Belgium, both Oh Love and Kill the DJ are in the charts (peaking at 5 and 21 so far - respectively - in one of the charts I saw earlier) and both are being played on the radio. However, Let yourself go and Nuclear family haven't been announced/played by this radio station yet, which they did when Oh Love and Kill the DJ came out. That's why I think that these are the only two "real" singles for ¡Uno! so far. Let yourself go was probably released because they wanted to play it at the VMAs without missing out on single sales, Nuclear Family might have been a leak to get fans even more excited (like Cavallo said they would do). Of course I can't know for sure, but it does make sense. I really hope that there'll be at least one huge hit, like BOBD was, from this trilogy. Not because it makes any difference to the fans, but simply because the band really deserves it for the work they've done and the risks they've taken.

Bastard of 1967 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I feel like I'm the only one who has this sentiment, but...No no no nonononononono No NO NO NO! GOD NO! I love this song but this did not need to happen. We need Stay the Night. I need Stay the Night. Green Day needs Stay the Night. If they wanted to blow up for this album and get the public paying attention, they needed to put out Stay the Night. At this point, with four different songs floating around, putting out a fifth one would be overkill especially with release only 2 weeks away. Warner (yes I'm blaming them) you dropped the fucking ball on this one. I appreciate all the promotion, but some shit has just been poorly planned. The app still sucks, preorder singles are getting sent days or weeks after being put on iTunes (I now have 2 copies of each song except this one because I bought from Amazon and then got download links much later). It just feels like nothing has been planned all that properly. Some things have worked, but I just feel like this was the biggest missed opportunity yet. Sorry, I'm just sour that I still have to wait two weeks... On topic, love this song. Much better that the Echoplex recording for obvious reasons. The bass is sick, Billie's vocals are tight, and the best part is the "ba-baby baby it's a blowout" because it feels like a mini explosion to begin Uno. Love it. And I wasn't a huge fan at first of the long countdown like Bastard of 1967, but now every time I hear it it builds my anticipation to hear the other 11 songs that much more. Can't wait any longer! I've been a champion of Stay the Night as a single release ever since I heard it leak out of the early secret shows, but I'm actually surprised to see myself conceding that the finished studio version of Nuclear Family may have a leg up over even that great song for a few reasons -- (1) although we can't compare it to the studio version of Stay the Night yet, Nuclear Family seems punchier and poppier than the live versions suggest that Stay the Night will be; and (2) Nuclear Family is more radio-friendly and radio-ready -- clean and meaningful subject matter (hey, man, Angel's Piss is a type of drink!), catchy as hell melodies and guitar riffs, and no F-bombs to have to mute out. I hope Let Yourself Go was just an unplanned release to ride an excitement bump that the VMAs generated and sell a few thousand copies of the song in the process, and I doubt it'll make the radio due to how incredibly butchered it'll turn out due to (literally) censoring the fuck out of it. And I'm hoping that they'll put Nuclear Family out for radio play. Like Holiday, it's a good, solid song that demands to be noticed when you hear it, it'll make casual fans go "wow, THAT's Green Day??", and it'd do damn well on the charts. As for the electronic downloads and general spastic nature of the release cycle, I agree -- Warner's done a hash-job of it and they need to get their shit together NOW, before Uno's release date. Right now they're confusing some people at best and pissing off others at worst. Not the band's fault, but someone needs to start cracking a whip over there in Burbank. Final thought for the night: the extended countdown that closes the song, revisited. In the end, Green Day writes for the live performance, not for the studio. That countdown is going to fucking blow the roof off the joint when they rock it live. Tens of thousands of people screaming the count back at BJ, capped off with a flash pot explosion at "ONE!"...I just let that image cross my mind and -- WHEW -- I have to go take a shower. And clean my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tens of thousands of people screaming the count back at BJ, capped off with a flash pot explosion at "ONE!"...I just let that image cross my mind and -- WHEW -- I have to go take a shower. And clean my pants. Agreed...mostly. NF obviously has more energy, and it does show that Green Day still makes good music. Here's hoping that it does really well on the charts. However here is my reasoning why StN is a better choice: The mass market wants songs that are catchy and express a simple sentiment that people at least think they can relate to. I think about the biggest songs on Pop radio this summer and they were things like Gotye's Sombody That I Used to Know, We are Young by fun, Tongue Tied by Grouplove, etc. Think back to GD's biggest mass market hits since Nimrod. Good Riddance, Minority, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, and 21 Guns. Simple songs that were catchy, and all expressed ideas of youth, rebellion, lost love, being alone. All things that everyone feels especially when younger (this is partly why Green Day has received flack since American Idiot about their growing lines of teenage fans but that is a whole different discussion). I swear there is a point coming. I've been listening to Pop stations all summer and I can tell that the market right now would go crazy over StN simply because the line "I gotta know if you're the one that got away even though it was never meant to be." That part is so catchy that I sing it over and over to myself daily. Now don't get me wrong, NF has extremely catchy parts too, but I just don't think it relates to what the masses wantt now. But hey hopefully I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homero Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 You'll have Stay The Night in 2 weeks if not before. You have an official live video of Stay The Night though. I think it's cool by now. Just enjoy Nuclear Family. Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't think Stay The Night is THAT extremely good. It's a great song but I prefer Carpe Diem, Let Yourself Go or Kill the DJ just in ¡Uno!. This opinion may change with the studio version though. I thought I was the only one! I dont think Stay the night is THAT good, in fact, the chorus is kinda boring to me. But like you, my opinion may change with the studio version.

And clean my pants. You've brought up the live performance enough times that I feel compelled to speak my mind on it. The "flash pot explosion" you keep alluding to (no one uses flash pots in arenas anymore, btw--they're all concussions now ), while cool, is completely opposite the direction I hope the guys go on this tour. There aren't a ton of Warning tour videos out there, but you don't see them with massive light banks and an arsenal of pyro. That's all stuff that, afaik, started with the Pop Disaster tour, got bigger with the AI tour, and by the end of the 21CB tour you might as well have been going to a KISS show. Absolute overload of theatrics, massive lighting rigs, video screen effects, and enough pyro to give Gene Simmons a boner. I'm rooting for the band to go with a more straightforward rock show this time around. A more conservative lighting rig, less of the KFAD goofing around and the ten-minute-long Minority, and minimal (if any) pyro. Let the music carry the show for the first time in over a decade, ya know? I've never been so obsessed with a song. Nuclear family looks like it could be my favourite track on UNO next to carpe diem I gave it 24 hours on ice and listened to it again this morning. I do like it a little more, but a lot of that is because it does sound Clash-y. GD is definitely walking a tightrope on NF and LYG between nodding to the Clash and the Ramones (among others) and straight-up copying their sound. I'm still just not sure about Uno, and have higher hopes for Dos at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
