Hermione Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've seen a few people on facebook saying the songs are going to be played on air. I assume there's no real basis for thinking that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 2 minutes ago, GuitarPunk94 said: http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/5277/ The only thing that's changed so far is that they've walked backed the comments slightly to saying they're not sure if they're hearing the full album or just some songs or snippets. But Matt never said they would be playing the songs on the air. Even though LIVE 105 is now saying they're not sure if the album is done, it lines up with what some other people have said about how far along they are.

Someone posted on Reddit saying they heard say on-air that Green Day would be at the station Wednesday to play them some new music. That's was prompted Matt to call where they said the same thing.

Second favourite son Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 7 minutes ago, Hermione said: He kind of isn't though. It's always either fans taking something he says that isn't anything to do with Green Day and isn't trying to look like it is in any way and assuming it's about Green Day for no good reason, or fans failing to get EXTREMELY obvious jokes (eg commenting that Green Day fans need to calm down and then immediately saying yeah of course Green Day are up to something tee hee!). He's never made a genuine attempt to actually fool fans/troll. Hmm I was taking troll more to mean that he posts totally legitimate things but knows that it'll cause a bit of chaos in the green day fan base, rather than that he lies or deceives. 4 minutes ago, Hermione said: I've seen a few people on facebook saying the songs are going to be played on air. I assume there's no real basis for thinking that? From what I've read it looks like people have interpreted 'they're going to play a few new songs for us' as a suggestion the songs will be debuted on air. So yeah, a bit of a misinterpretation/wishful thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Seagull Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So if they said it on air, sure there is a recording available out there. What's the name of the person who told you that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve46 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 But for me, just play the album for the radio staff, makes really no sense. Why would they go to a certain radio station and let them hear into the record without any broadcasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the name of the person who told you that? What is your deal and what are you trying to get at with your argument here? I was told what I was told and it's on the GDA post and in the first post in this thread. Nothing less, nothing more. 2 minutes ago, steve46 said: But for me, just play the album for the radio staff, makes really no sense.

The stations and programming directors in turn can get the message out about the music in a more effective way if they've actually heard the material. Radio staff may also be there to help provide guidance on a lead single choice, based on what their listeners are liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're rehearsing, they could be using it to meet with the bigwig programming directors in a location that is mutually convenient. The meeting is likely to be for the band to gain insights and opinions from industry pros on how to best market their music (eg what's radio friendly, what the singles should be), as well as to allow for an article to be written like @StuckWithDom said.

Steven Seagull Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I still find it hard to believe that a radio station worker would give away such information without the permission of the band or the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't you just sit back and enjoy the fact that there's finally GD-related things happening? Also it's not that surprising that Green Day are playing the songs to the radio people first, Blink did the same thing a few months before the release of California. This should be good for us because even if we won't get to hear the songs themselves, we might get some info on what overall vibe we can expect from the songs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're pretty new to this whole process. I've gone through this whole thing 3 times since 2004. This is how news starts coming out. You hear things from places who are in the industry then start reading the tea leaves. Then you get some kind of confirmation and things start to slowly trickle out. Stations and publications want to let their listeners/readers know about something exclusive they're doing because it helps their brand, so they put out some information. They probably know more than they're wiling to share with the public, but they've determined that they can say that much without getting in trouble. They might be wrong, but that's part of the way this whole thing works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
