I actually love Rev Rad, except for one song, but I do think the intros seem disjoinied on some songs. I think Forever Now especially and that is one of my favorite songs For sure and because of it, it's one of the ones that loses me especially. I mean, I'm even done with Somewhere Now not long after the opening. Definitely done at the solo. I lose Youngblood at the bridge, Say Goodbye has a musical epilogue it didn't need and just...yeah, I do hear what you're saying. They're not the best constructed songs. (But I like them still too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But I like them still too ) For me Somewhere Now is exactly the opposite to what you've said, yes, the intro is beautiful but all the song is very well constructed and always gains the intensity, so I feel like a cello over the rainbow when he starts singing how he found his soul under the sofa pillows. Also Say Goodbye has a great and fitting powerful end, why do you find it not needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets to that almost-last-bit and my brain goes "ok, it's over now! ...oh...just kidding, guess it's not." It's like when you're watching a movie and it's dragging and you're thinking "are they gonna end this movie or what?" But...on a smaller, 3-minute time-frame kind of scale.

tresexy101 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I would like to say that Donald Trump is a fart that came out of Honey Boo Boo's buttocks AND, yes there is an AND, I was told her scent is that of rotten mildew?. Anyway, I can listen to this album front to back 3 times in a row. I say three because the number has significance to the Illuminati. Each song could be on it's own album. What I mean is that mostly, just mostly, all the songs have a different sound and could fit on another Green Day album. Viva la GD. Although the first time I heard the album I was a little disappointed. The album grew on me like the herpes I contracted from a sweet female that was.....nah, jk. No diseases. I'm a virgin.

That Dude Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I KNOW it's Wikipedia and not the most trustworthy of sites.....but I was checking to see if anything else had been listed as a single and apparently "Revolution Radio"20162212-6Revolution Radio "Still Breathing"129-2 "Youngblood"---20 "Somewhere Now"---23 "Say Goodbye"---26 "Bouncing Off The Wall"---34 "Outlaws"---36 Probably from the lyric video exposure, or maybe totally false. I guarantee those things are for testing the waters of potential singles though. Young Blood and Somewhere Now as singles, could you imagine???????

tresexy101 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 To everyone who is saying this song sounds like an earlier song that Green Day put out... I'd say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. It's o.k. to use your OWN band as an influence in my opinion. Pinhead Gunpowders (Billies side band) Walking Catastrophe is pretty much the same as Green Days Prosthetic Head. I challenge anyone to name a song on the radio today that has not been influenced by another band, song, drug, and most importantly, me. It's bed time and I sleep naked but I will still drop the mic and walk away like a stud... yup, the mic still hit my genitalia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make music videos and promote the snot out of each one. Since RevRad doesn't have a gimmick, that could be it. 12 songs, 12 singles.

Just because they charted, that doesn't mean they're gonna be singles. Besides, are bands even allowed to have 12 singles from one album? If so, wouldn't every artist have 12 singles. But I do think every song is gonna get a lyric video which is great to get the band some exposure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare and unheard of these days, but Micheal Jackson had an album where all but one song was an official single....and there are others. Are the Single Police going to get them? Lol. Typically 4 singles and that has to do with the success or lack therof the album. Once they stop charting and touring......its a wrap and onto the next album. I'm just their number one fan and want more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Image if GD released 37 singles for the trilogy According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson_singles_discography, a lot of MJ albums had 6+ singles, with the most being 9 from the album Dangerous I'd say releasing loads of singles wouldn't be wise because either all your songs would be competing with each other if released too soon together and if you released them months apart, then you'd still be releasing singles from an album that's years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. 12 singles, if done correctly, would have to over years. I was looking at Nimrod's singles and wow: 1997, 1998, 1999. They were spread all over the place. The optimal way to do it would be this: BANG BANG is doing well. Let it be the only single until it starts declines in the charts. Then BAM, second single! and so on and so on. I'd say about 3 years to do 12 singles, something like that. But that's just a fan-dream. 4 or 5 is a good amount of singles, and Green Day average 4.33 singles per album.

Man calm down I know there's hardly a song on the radio that wouldn't be similar to another one. No news really. We were just discussing it right? And I don't mind it at all, I love that song.

Chin for a Day Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have to say that Somewhere Now is probably my favorite song to play, it is so damn fun! And different from the way Billie normally writes, so that makes me love it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Bras Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 "I just want peace, love and rock n' roll" gotta love Billie Joe, man.. Also, I'm loving the RevRad background with the Green Day logo they're using live: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
