unextraordinarygirl Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 When I Googled OTIS the first 4 searches were for: 1. A prison in Michigan 2. A tracking service for said prisoners in Michigan 3. An elevator company And 4. Otis Redding LOL I didn't expect such a wide variety. But I still have no idea what OTIS is that has to do with Billie/Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeNimrod97 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Call me a pessimist but a line from Ultravox's Vienna sprung straight to mind. "This means nothing to me." I actually believe it's too early in the year to hear anything about the album, based on the fact that the majority have been released between mid September and early/mid October in the year of their release. Only 2 commercial albums have been released this end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteo263 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Perhaps they could be trying their hand at self producing the album at their own studio setup without the constraints of professional studio setups Foo Fighters did that with one of their albums and it worked well for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Who cares why Billie has a new studio. OTIS - Ooooh Time I Saved - a name inspired by a credit card statement recieved by Billie after his brat kid returned from a "tour" of Australia or Europe after wasting a good portion of Billie's earnings of the past five years trying to make his shitty band famous...or known. Hence Billie devised a clever scheme to continue to feed himself, his family and legion of dogs. He would allow unknown bands to use the state of the art studio at Jingletown (and pay for it) while Green Day recorded in a shoebox. He would call this shoebox OTIS and everyone would google search it but it would not be on google because it is a shoebox. The important thing to take away from this is...GREEN DAY ARE RECORDING!!! I for one don't care if it's in a fucking closet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red carpet appearances, media hype, iHeart Radio? It seems to me that there was a lot more hype for the Trilogy than there was for 21CBD, at least. I was too young/sheltered to remember much about the AI hype, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was more for AI than there was for the Trilogy because AI turned out to be such a huge album.... I do recall, of course, hearing the singles from it constantly on the local rock and pop music stations, way more than I ever heard any of the Trilogy singles. Let's not forget they were supposed to appear on Ellen for God's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sara_gd Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 OTIS is the brand of my elevator. It's capitalised and everything. I'll tell you their number in a minute so you can ring them and see what's going on. NEW ALBUM TITLE BASED ON MY ELEVATOR??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 7 hours ago, inthehallwaynow said: What was that radio show they were on before or after Uno? I think it was after cause they hooked up Billie's ipod or phone and they played like all of Dos almost all full tracks and I would hate for something like that to happen again. I loved it at the time but it was such a spoiler (again thats probably my bad for listening) but I hope they keep it on lock for now. Pictures are fine but I may stray away from audio stuff if I can help it. That reminds me, they did something very similar with 21st CB, playing like 7 songs from it on a radio show a couple of weeks before it was out. And the album was made available to listen to online a week early. And that was after they printed the whole album's lyrics online a couple of months before. In fact some of us formed a group on GDC called "Team B" who were waiting for the actual release to listen to it and had a special spoiler free thread to post about it in . Once the release date gets close there always seems to be spoilers to avoid. I don't mind a little taste but I'd want to avoid hearing too much of it as well.

No. It was written the right way round because you yanks forget it's day/month and not the other way round. My guess is either 14/10 or 21/10.

It's like trying to argue that favourite isn't spelt with a 'u'. Many Americans are stupid and so the intelligent ones just agree because they're the minority and it's easier for them to keep quiet. Just watch Trump become president because of all the morons who make up a large proportion of the US population. Anyway, has anyone thought it's still odd how Billie said he's going to take his time and people believe this to be near the end of the process of a new album? I still think it's a bit early for that since the trilogy was recorded between March and June, 21CB was January until April the next year, AI was April until the following March, Warning was April until May, Nimrod was March until July and Insomniac was December until May. There's a pattern there that says to me that the album isn't going finished yet but possibly beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch Trump become president because of all the morons who make up a large proportion of the US population. It does make sense, though. It follows the time increments in order from shortest to longest. Day (shortest increment) - month (longer increment) - year (longest increment). I get the other way, too (because we say month/day/year when we're speaking) but you can't just imply that our way of doing it is moronic because it's not Oh, and another thing.... In reality, Trump supporters make up a very small minority of the population. The only reason he's leading the polling right now is because the field he's running in has so many candidates and is so fractured. I'd suggest that you not go around generalizing an entire population of over 300 million people that you clearly know very little about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
