I think it's more like their 21CB look, but maybe slightly cooler?

I would think that the rest of the track titles are more original, and that BANG BANG will be a really stand out punchy track. At least that's what I'm hoping.

I'm thinking the same. There is some 21CB vibe to the album and I think BANG BANG will be a catchy political track ala Know Your Enemy. Remember, both American Idiot and Know Your Enemy were the most catchy and 'boring' songs compared to the other songs on respectively AI and 21CB. There'll be songs with more original names and probably a multi-part track like American Eulogy or DRB.

The Trilogy consists of three slightly differently sounding records of one era which could just as well be one album. We've moved on and I think it's a ridiculous to assume that 12 will resemble the Trilogy. If anything, they will blend AI-era GD with the rawer sound of their pre-Warning records and maybe new influences. 

you realize that your opinion of what this new song  might sound like is based on exactly as many facts as someone else's opinion that it might sound like the Trilogy, right?

Just noticed that Jason isn't in the new photo :(   I know that sometimes they do photos without him but I wonder if he is still an official member this time around.

He's the official 2nd guitarist when they play live, that's for sure. But time will tell.

Yes, but after the lukewarm reception of the Trilogy, I think they'll stay away from the Trilogy in most aspects. History has proven that every Green Day has a distinctly different sound and theme compared to its predecessor (particularly post-Insomniac).

Is everyone really that paranoid about the album sounding "like the the Trilogy" that they have to find "clues" in the very little information we actually know that somehow indicates a relation to the Trilogy? Sad day.

To be fair, it was thatdude03 who started it!!

Jason usually stays on the background during promotion and stuff. Nothing wrong with that if he's more comfortable with a less 'public' role.

He has never really been treated like an official member.  He is their permanent guitarist, but everyone always thinks of GD as a trio.  I don't see that changing.

When was it the same day (im sorry if someone answered already I'm on mobile and I gotta quote this before I explore anymore of this thread)

According to wikipedia Longview was released the same day as Dookie.

It's sad that so few know him. Fans are very wary of line-up changes (e. g. the polarizing remplacement of Tom DeLonge by Matt Skiba) and the band members from the heydays are often considered 'the real members'.

I always got the impression he doesn't really want the fan attention.

See, this is why you don't sleep in times like this. Missed all the excitement. Thankfully I put alerts on all their social media accounts and on GDC and GDAs twitter so I could check up on it right after I woke up.?

Hot damn that photo reminds me of their old pre trilogy photoshoots and now I'm 1000x more excited. (It's so hot!?!?!)

Since 2012 he has been.  It's no big deal, it would just mean that either he's dead or Billie Joe is a LIAR because he has said that "nobody leaves Green Day unless it's in a coffin".  

(I'm very much kidding.  I think Green Day could still retain their magic as long as Billie and Mike stick around.  They are the ones who started this insanity in 1986.    But Tre Cool and Jason White are awesome and I'd hate to see either go, coffin or no.)

Well I'm getting a new GD song today because I didn't realise that "Xmas time of the year" was a thing until just now :P How did I miss this!?!?

I really should slap myself for clicking on any of those video's posted above.

Not only because they are fake but because I promised myself not to check out any clip until the full song is officially released.

Well it's not too great. If you were subscribed to Green Day's YouTube channel you probably would've seen it

I'm joining the church just for the sake of praying this isn't bad (secret code for "like trilogy"). It's pathetic to be worrying about it but oh boy I don't wanna be disappointed.
