Second favourite son Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bang Bang was linked to gun violence, either subtly or even explicitly. I envision it being a relatively hard, relatively fast song, though it could just as easily be a heartfelt ballad. I hope it's the first one though. It's a slightly risky title IMO, it seems a bit cliched. But if any band can make a good enough song to negate a cliche, I'd put my money on Green Day.

GenXIdiot Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 With a title like Bang Bang, my guess is it's going to be a kick ass song and this album is going to be political and that makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, maybe the album really is titled Revolution Radio? I hope so, I really like that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So I rang my local radio station and they said they've contacted their label to try and get the song as well. Funny enough, I rang a separate station and it turns out the stations are actually combined! They have 2 different numbers but the same reception. @BillyjoelxkidXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Does anyone want to make a guess at what page this thread will be at by August 11? I also emailed my local station, but since it is Sunday night I haven't heard anything yet. I'm sure the station director is not in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second favourite son Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Maybe the album could be 'Revolver Rad.....'. Revolvers go bang bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleIron1039 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I feel a bit conflicted about the album possibly being political. I don't tend to agree with a lot of Billie's political beliefs, even though I love GD and agree with him that the world is very fucked up right now. I hope he takes a neutral stance on issues and presents both sides, leaving it open for the listener to decide which stance to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to agree with all the political points of virw to enjoy the music and most of the lyrics. Billie s political lyrics have always been more about the injustices and problems in politics rather than point of views and political candidates.

Although I don't think they are telling you what to think or believe, just that you should think for yourself and not let anyone tell you what to believe, if that makes sense. I'm not great at explaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, how do you think that I reconcile being a huge fan of both 21CB and AI with my beliefs? Anyway, I'm excited nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
