Billie Hoe Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So if @Steven Seagull isn't impressed with the single (which he has apparently heard because for some reason Slovenia gets them before the rest of the world, according to his status), then that's a good sign right?

Oh, and I don't know if it has been said yet, but according to a German music blog, Rob Cavallo produced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieser produzierte nicht nur die letzte Trilogie, sondern auch “Dookie” aus dem Jahr 1994. Auf diesem Album befindet sich auch die wohl bekannteste Single “Basket Case”." which means something like "Rob Cavallo will be involved with the recordings. He not only produced the last trilogy, but also "Dookie" from the year 1994. Their probably most famous single "Basket Case" can be found on this album." But I have no idea if this is true. They didn't mention any source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtrix Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Looks like Rob has been producing again. I know none of those articles share a source of where they got that info from, but why else would both an Italian and German music blog say such thing.

The person who wrote the blog article obviously had no idea how the album sounded like, because they said something like "we'll have to wait and see if the sound will be close to their old work, but it would be preferable" and nothing in there hinted that they had any contact with the band, because they were only writing about what the band disclosed to all of us - except the producer thing. And the blog belongs to the german version of the Vice magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Russian article said that Rob's producing it, because quote "Rob said 5 songs are finished and they sound awesome". And that's total bullshit. Rob only said that Billie showed him a couple of songs and that was like a year and a half ago. I personally wouldn't believe any of this articles until we got a confirmation from RS, Kerrang or the band themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate Rob, I just don't want him to produce this album. He is too close to them professionally and personally. When you get that close, you can lose your objectiveness. I would like to see them have a more objective producer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kripack Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I thought about it long and hard and I think I would personally prefer a producer, who would push them to try something new. So at this point I'm not even against Will.I.Am. Because, let's be honest, if the band would write something as good as AI - no producer in right mind would say that it's shit and they need to write other stuff. But if the material is.. meh, not so good, at list they'd be able to produce it in a new and interesting way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be 'big news' here anyway, not even if the album comes out, I think Sadly, the media doesn't care so much anymore. That was one of the only two german articles I could find on Bang Bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtrix Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I also notice that the news about the new single doesn't really get picked up here. Makes me think the release of the new album might just blow away without any Dutch person noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakke Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm calling bullshit on those articles. They are, as stated before, based on quotes dating back to the HOF introduction. Rob is a very close friend, of course he has heard songs (and probably the entire album before anyone else besides those involved in recording/mixing/mastering). I think the general sound of BANG BANG will hint a lot as to who has produced. I'm personally hoping for Butch Vig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Flemish radio stations have posted anything about it on their sites and those I mailed about it on Monday haven't responded (yet).

But I do agree with that. Well, he knows them better, but he might be too close to push the envelope and offer objective criticism during the process. I suspect that his proximity to the band has been more of a curse to the Trilogy's overall sound than a blessing. If they want to start fresh, an outsider with credentials might be just what they need. I definitely understand your yearning for Rob, but someone else seems better for a comeback album.

Christian's Inferno! Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've heard theories that Rob purposely made the trilogy shit because they used Butch Vig for 21CB but I doubt he's that petty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Hoe Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Just emailed another radio station that specializes in rock music, since the other one didn't bother to answer. I mentioned that in the email and hope that they will take the bait and give me an answer to look better than the other radio station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
