Whomever was responsible for 'Oh Love' as the lead single killed any chance of the trilogy being commercially successful IMO. I think Oh Love is one of the catchiest songs of the trilogy as a whole. Lazy Bones not being a single however I disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Idiot Club in the past has been super helpful for me in scoring tickets. So I would sign up as soon as you can, really. Also, I bet they've already picked the first single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had successful TV appearances and that epic performance of Let Yourself Go at the MTV VMA's when all the mosh pit fans got up on stage! Had it not been for iHeart and Billie's rehab, the trilogy would've been a smash hit!!! Having said that, what kind of song would you like the first single to be? Fast paced? A piano ballad?

It was likely someone from a music store. I saw photos of stores getting their shipments over a week before the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day has a loyal following of people like us here, but don't generate a lot of mainstream attention anymore. It isn't their fault, the landscape has just changed a lot since the 90s and early 00s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not essential to sign up right now but when they do announce something I think it's worth it for presales alone. I still have to renew my membership, I likely will in the next few days.

They don't always do a presale for every show so I prefer to wait until they announce that they're doing one for my show. No harm in joining earlier either but it just means your membership expires sooner. But I do agree it's worth joining for presales, I've always successfully got tickets in them and nothing beats already having them before the general sale.

Didn't it leak like 5 days before? That's not really early. And yeah as Matt said it was because of stores getting the cd not radio stations.

(Wouldn't it be awful though if they played a secret show within the two weeks but it would be so secret you would never even find out about it oops. Although as proven, Green Day aren't very good at keeping secrets, so I don't think there's need for worry lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 if they're looking for first single feedback then that probably means it will be a while until we get the single, right? I imagine they'd want to have a music video ready when they release the single and that will take some time to produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few first single picks have been terrible. I was actually quite pleased when Oh Love was announced as the first trilogy single, as from the crappy phone recordings we'd heard of it in small clubs it was the song that most intrigued me. Turns out that song (as with a lot of the trilogy) seemed to work a lot better if it stayed in a small venue, and Stay the Night would have made more commercial sense (even though my immediate reaction to hearing that really early soundcheck version of it was "is that it?"). Fair about Know Your Enemy though - a song that actually works really quite well in the context of the album, but standing alone on its own merits as lead single it was very underwhelming. "Andres"? No more "Fuzz"? Is someone hoping for another Twitter shoutout from BJA?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks being a teenager with no means who is financially bound to their parents. I had to beg for weeks to even be allowed to go to the Megadeth/Amon Amarth show, and it's only in Worcester and will probably be cheaper than a Green Day concert.
