From the caption on Billie's post worded as the single being "put out", I assumed it meant available to purchase, not simply being released on air.

Second favourite son Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 7 minutes ago, Riotgrrl_GD said: I am all about Billie expressing his views on politics but I'm hoping the new single isn't about gun control. I think if it is about gun control it's likely to be about it in a not overwhelmingly clear way. Green Day are much more a band for writing songs that can be interpreted as a political issue, but can also apply to wider life. It's part of the reason their songs are so successful - if American idiot had mentioned Bush explicitly people wouldn't be anywhere as interested in it now as they had been. The song will have been written a fair while ago, so although gun control/gun violence is an ongoing issue, it wouldn't have been known at the time of writing quite how big it would be now. It would've been a big risk to make the song too clearly about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Have not cared for or even listened to Green Day after that trilogy abomination but I must admit this is exciting times for an ex Green Day fan and everyone here. Hope this new material rekindles the flame. A new tour will be awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a collage artwork could be amazing I'd really like some cool collage artwork in the booklet. Speaking of which, who else is fucking hyped to go to the record store and picking up the physical copy, slam that bad boy in and read the lyrics as you hear the songs for the first time?

Private Ale. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Are they collabing with Rihanna? in all seriousness , i'm hyped. the song title..well whatever. my favourite band is back. it's all that matters. "bang bang" doesn't sound like a concept album is coming. yet again, it can be a song where characters shoot each other and go to jail.Another lesson learned and failed. Another presumption, Mike will yell "BANG!!BANG!!" , the way he yells at Brain Stew performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

References will be subtle superficially yet very powerful at the same time, both pertaining to broader and personal issues. I don't think they will mention Trump or the NRA for example directly, just like they haven't ever dropped the names of Bush and Obama on AI and 21CB.

Chin for a Day Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I was just looking at Frank Maddocks catalogue of work. I know that the instagram showed some kind of collage, but his previous work seems to be more simple. He takes some really nice pictures, in some interesting poses. He seems to often really focus on the artists faces. I really like his work, it is very powerful, in a simple way. I'm really looking forward to what he has done for GD. http://frankmaddocks.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it took was the announcement of a new song and I'm 14 again, listening to all the old music and googling interviews and funny youtube videos of the band.

Ah Petros. You know I think you're wrong. I've been burned before. I talked about this in an earlier thread, about how I got hold of a bootleg version of Viva La Gloria and listened to it on repeat. It was admittedly an amazing bootleg of staggeringly low quality, but I think this time I'll bide my time. I've gone to the school of patience, my friend. I've long-distance dated for over 6 years of my life. Just now, Jake69 said: If the new album sounds anything like nimrod, it will be my favorite green day album ever. didja know that the band just went to the studio and made that album without preparation?

And still the lyrics on that album are superb. yes, it stands like a testament to BJs work ethic. I never thought Armstrong wrote lyrics in the quality of someone like Alex Turner, but Nimrod still had some zingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Ale. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Another presumption, kerplunk girl on the single cover. All grown up and holding a gun, which directly references to bang bang. Plus it's not boring like a simple gun picture. This is more like advice than presumption.I hope Billie or the guy is reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
