Harry Potter. Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 https://encrypted-tb...jfSMIEppth8xrXD Notice how the lines go in a circular pattern instead of up/down/side Does that seriously matter that much? well, I suck at photoshop, but I wanted to join you guys somehow, so I made some facebook covers OH NO, I just saw that you can't see DOS 'cause of the profile pic DAMN. and I did not save the projects... So that means you have to use DOS as your profile picture don't judge me HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU SUCK!!?? :mad: You're great! Those covers are brilliant!

gmcloughlin Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 This is a great idea It's such a shame that at what Green Day themselves have called the most creative point in their career, they can't promote their magnificent creation. Let's do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter. Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Here's the flyer. Full versions: Colour (13th November) Black & white (13th November) Colour (9th November) Black & white (9th November) Feel free to repost this one anywhere as well! I won't do it tonight but I considered making one with live photos as well. If you guys like that idea (let me know!) I'll do it later this week or next week. DAAAAMN! I wish I saw this yesterday! I would've given it along with sweets to all the trick-or-treating kids that would come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter. Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hey, I got a question! Would I get in trouble for sticking these flyers around different buildings and stuff in the city, or not..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazingaofSuburbia Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Radio One in the UK does a 10min takeover at around 4pm, listeners are able to request songs the DJ refreshes his playlist and then the first 3 songs are played. So could try bombard them with tweets to play Stray Heart 4pm is when most people listen to the station anyways so worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could try bombard them with tweets to play Stray Heart 4pm is when most people listen to the station anyways so worth a shot. I tweeted lol but I'm not very effective on my lonesome. It would be helpful (as mentioned previously in the thread) if GDA tweeted the radio station then got their followers to re-tweet. Although now that Stray Heart has disappeared from iTunes and Amazon maybe they're no longer allowed to play the song anyway? The 'marketing' for the trilogy is so confusing, it started with such promise then went completely downhill. I know Billie being in rehab hasn't helped but the label don't seem to be putting much effort in in his absence. Couldn't they get it playlisted on some radio stations or get itunes promotion going on? Anyways, back on topic: everyone should spam Radio 1, Kerrang and KROQ (they're the only big radio stations I can think of that play rock music) with tweets like crazy requesting songs from DOS. The flyers are a great idea but I really think the best promotion for the album would be a hit single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rotten Bastard Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 We also really need to try and make sure that DOS is going to appear on the homepage of iTunes for the new releases. I know I've said this before, but UNO wasn't there and that's going to really effect sales. We've barely got any promotion for DOS coming in from Warner as it is.

Edit: Ok, tweeted! I'll write on their facebook next and tomorrow I'll do the same! Edit 2: On their Facebook page, I was looking at all the comments for their ten minute takeover post and someone wrote "something from green day" and it got 5 likes (most of all the comments from that post).

tomdsjames Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Is it every day? And btw, could you link me to their Twitter? Because I'm not exactly which profiel they are. Every Tuesday on Radio1 the 10 minute take over is hosted by Greg James at 6pm. His twitter account can be found here The DJs who will get the most listeners are Nick Grimshaw (who hosts the morning show), Fearne Cotton who is on just after and Zane Lowe who I'm sure we all know from the interview hosts the evening show Fearne Cotton may be a good bet as she's a known Green Day fan, she was at the Milton Keynes gig. Alternatively just request on Radio1's main twitter page or the Request show with Reggie Yates (the guy who announces the Official UK Chart every week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Heart should be hopefully still on Radio One's playlist seeing that it premiered on that station so it should be there still, sometimes songs are requested and aren't in the playlist so don't get played :/ but could still try and try Q radio too they play Green Day sometimes i don't get the marketing of the trilogy either its been so confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farley drexel hatcher Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Really it needs its on twitter page, something with the album name in that can keep on top of things. We need people to hear the name and date a lot. Honestly don't think there's any way to get adverts on iTunes :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need people to hear the name and date a lot. Honestly don't think there's any way to get adverts on iTunes :/ No but, we need to try and get DOS to show up in the 'new release' album section on the homepage of iTunes when it gets released. There's no reason why it shouldn't be there, I mean, Green Day are a HUGE band! If people see that there's a new Green Day album on the homepage, they're more likely to buy it. Otherwise, they might not know Green Day have another album out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Rotten Bastard Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Will the radio play Stray Heart now that it has been taken off iTunes? We can request other songs (along with Stray Heart) the more Green Day on the radio a happier world we will live in....also more people who might buy DOS!

Florence Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm having trouble uploading the GIF to Tumblr. Can anyone help me? So I wasn't the only one! I'm trying to upload it for hours, but I always get an error message. I thought it's just my computer that fucks it up! The gif is around 800kb and 375 x 375 px tumblr! I have everything saved in a .psd file I'm gonna make it smaller, hopefully it works then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rotten Bastard Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I put the pictures on tumblr! But, the only people who will see it will be my followers, who I assume are all crazy Green Day fans anyway because my blog is pretty much just Green Day. Everything is worth a try though!
