With all this information coming out, green day has to say something, right? I'm guessing tomorrow we might get an announcement. Please don't kitten me.

They should definitely be announcing that a single is being premiered, I'd guess sometime this week.

Actually I have that feeling too. I'm just checking their instagrams all the time and check in my activity if they have commented anything but so far nada. They HAVE to say something in the next few days, or this fandom is going to lose their minds completely.

I am extremely curious about the album cover.

me too! i can't wait to see what it's gonna be. this whole thing is so exciting, because after the trilogy I have no idea what we can expect of the new era. it could be anything. that makes it so much worse. (note: not trilogy bashing. just mentioning how the trilogy era was so completely different from all the eras before :lol:)

"Bang Bang", huh? Not a super interesting title but it sounds like it could have a fast-paced, hard theme. Hoping for more unique song titles this time around. Names like "Blvd. of Broken Dreams," "American Idiot," "Longview," "Going to Pasalaqua," "Brain Stew," etc. are instantly memorable and stick out more than titles like "Missing You" and "Fell For You" and "Wild One."

My two hopes for this new album: 1) Return to meaningful, heartfelt, and well-written lyrics. 2) Vocal delivery/production similar to Nimrod or AI. AI's vocals just have so much grit and emotion behind them. The Trilogy seemed like Billie was just singing through the part casually. I miss the Billie Joe snarl, even if it means he doesn't hit every note. 

Politically, as I've said before, Green Day does a good job of being not-accusatory when making political statements. AI was political, but it wasn't in your face. It felt personal and respectful to both sides of the issue. I just hope that Green Day makes a political album ONLY if it's inspired, not forced due to the election.

Maybe it will be like when "let yourself go" came out and Billie will think it premieres on the 12th instead of the 11th and fans will need to let him know it already released again :lol:

Dang, I go away and come back to 8 new pages on the other thread, and 19 on this new one :lol:

I have a friend that works at iHeart and as the Philly station appears to be iHeart associated (from what I've been reading on here), I've asked them if they know anything. They will ask around and if they won't get in trouble, or jeopardize their position there, they may mention something.

You know, when I take a look at Billie's latest instagram posts, I feel pretty sure there will be political songs on there. These issues are obviously on his mind, and if he cares about it, we can be 100% sure it will be heartfelt :) I don't take him for someone who writes certain songs because it's expected of him or because some people think it's his "duty" as a punk rocker with his American Idiot history to make an Anti-Donald-Trump album :D 

(BILLIE REMOVED THE LINK FROM HIS INSTAGRAM BIO HMMMMMM WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE NEW ALBUM? MAKING ROOM FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT?? :lol:)

Man, I'll be honest, I thought I was losing interest in the band but as soon as the news came out about the song today I felt so, so excited! Seriously can't wait to see what comes out of this and what the new song/album is like. :D

Same here, because of the lack of new music, and because I had listened to all the albums through one too many times in a one week timespan.

Thanks! Nothing better than a combination of Chris Pratt and Chuck Liddell. :D

I hated the title bang bang at first, but with all this talk about it being about gun control and being political, I love this title now. I can't fucking wait to hear this song.

I don't get how people hate the title of a song...

 Shouldn't the music itself be what you like or dislike about a song?

"Bang Bang, huh? Well, my guess is that the song may perhaps be about gun control or something about guns".

When I saw the title of the song I thought of the Ariana Grande song and almost threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I told you the first song was going to be called "Bang Bang" and that it would drop August 11th!  But seriously.....with the piles of ridiculous speculation in the forum, did anyone get the date right?   Someone had to have nailed it by accident or by secret insider knowledge.  If someone got the title correct I still wouldn't be that impressed because well, we're GDC and we speculate A LOT.

No need to be an ass about though.

I'm never a douche about stuff but way too many people have said this and ffs I needed to be an ass.

We shouldn't be pointing out the obvious.

Everybody assuming its about guns.  Might be about another kind of banging.  Might be an "Oh Love" or "F(woo) Time" type deal.   

Bang Bang

me and the lady

bang bang

double fanged tequila 

Oh my I feel it coming on 

I want to, to, to take it all.  

Bang bang over the mountain

Gush gush like a ****** fountain

 

I have to stop.   They might steal my lyrics.

Well it's still exciting to discuss it. Don't ruin the fun. 

I'm all for the discussion about the song being about gun control, politics, garlic bread. But if you're going to point out the obvious and that's it.... Ugh.

What if the mixing is the same as the trilogy/christmas song? That's what I'm most afraid of tbh.

Me too. I will be heartbroken.

I'll go grab a gun and Bang Bang at one of my old Green Day posters for awhile if the new song sounds anything at all like the Trilogy.
