When you have a body of work as large as Green Day does, it's natural for their new stuff to be compared to their other stuff I think. If they didn't have old stuff to compare it to, you know these reviewers would be comparing it to songs by similar artists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think these reviews being put out before the song is in the hands of the public are just annoying. Definitely smacks of attempting to shape perception, which I don't like (even if they're trying to shape perception positively). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second favourite son Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 All it's showing is that these reviewers know fuck all about what is supposedly their job if they're all coming out saying it sounds like different songs. If they aren't capable of getting it right, why do they try to compare?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm f***ing impacient right now If it sounds like anything off of Insomniac, then I'm happy and excited as fuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXRustyJamesXx Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't really hope for a lot of radio play after the release tomorrow... Normal radio stations just play like 21 Guns or Wake Me Up and obviously Bang Bang can't be compared to songs like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armatage Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If it sounds somewhat like Babs Uvula Who?, I'm all in. Can't wait for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangestat Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I was listening to Live 105 a few minutes ago when driving to work, and they're apparently auctioning off the chance for someone to announce the new song with them at 7AM tomorrow. Bidding starting at $53 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we don't know how it sounds yet but so many reviews talk about a fast punk rock song sounding like their old stuff. So I think it's safe to say that Bang Bang won't be like WMUWSE or 21 Guns in the sense of mainstream radio plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of insomniac to start and that song is one if my least favorites. But the point is not the particles song but the fact that I don't want it to sound like something they did 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want it to sound like old green day. I'd love it to sound like current Green Day doing their take on a similar style that old green day did, but where you can hear the lyrics properly and it draws on their current state of affairs. But then again, that is merely one of the many things I'd love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually on two separate occasions, I heard "She's a Rebel" in a local store, and later (when I got my American Idiot CD) I heard "Last of the American Girls" over Walmart's store radio.

lhutton93 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I just tweeted Signal 107 in the UK to ask what time they'll play it and then suddenly my dad phoned me saying they just said my name on the radio and that they'll be talking about the song shortly. Did not expect to get a mention on the radio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
