whats the deal with trumpet being listed on bouncing off the wall....i do not hear them 

It comes in at the start of the second chorus, panned to the right. It's really low in the mix, playing a low rhythmic part just to thicken up the mix.

I love Rev Rad so much! Still Breathing is easily one of my favourite GD songs, Bang Bang is so energetic, I love the connection between Somewhere Now/Forever Now, and Ordinary World is such a beautiful song to end the album with.

Another good thing about the album is its length- I hate listening to albums that are far too long. However, its rather tempting to listen to Rev Rad multiple times on the trot. When I get to the end of the album I think to myself ''Should I listen to it again? Go on, its only another 45 minutes'' ;)

I do the exact same thing.  Even though It's been blasting nonstop in my car since the first day of the leak, I get to the point where I THINK I'm tired of it, but then it starts over again and I keep on rocking out to it.   

Maybe it's secretly the first in a new Trilogy since the other one didn't go so well.  (because I could definitely go for a second and third helping of this Era!!!)

 

Revolution Radio

SS Revolution (Green Day's sound hits the open seas, and heads into a knarly sea battle!)

Revolution: World Wide  (This time it's all out war, and Green Day are taking no prisoners!)  

The DVD will once again have Jason White's face on it, and will be called White(s) Out!  (named after the Green Day song)

Haha.  I love my job.

I'm still not getting into Still Breathing. I thought eventually I'd understand, but I feel like it's such a generic, bland track. I feel some many more emotions from songs like "Outlaws" or even "Youngblood." 

Additionally, I think "Say Goodbye" is sort of overrated. The bow guitar solo is sick, but the lyrics are repetitive (although a few lines are creative). "Troubled Times" is a skipper for me too.

So basically I LOVE 9/12 tracks and never skip them, so that's good. My love of the song "Revolution Radio" has grown after hearing the whole album. One of my favorites now. 

I have exactly the opposite feeling. I've come to absolutely love Say Goodbye, whilst I don't care much for Revolution Radio, though it is a very catchy tune. It's intriguing how different the favorites of everyone are, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Say goodbye is still one of my favourites & I appreciate Revolution radio more now I have heard it via a live stream.

Well, I personally like the live version much better. RevRad is an album that as a whole translates really well to the live stage.

Green Day, Blink, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Against Me!, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World have all "sort of come back to haunt us once against".   

GREEN DAY IS ONE OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE POP PUNK APOCALYPSE.   Billie should destroy this review, lol.  I like this guy!  

It's going to take another favorite band of mine to get RevRad to stop playing.  I play it at the house, in the car.  I walk around work singing it at this point.....I think I have a RevRad problem.   

Let me see....what will be the album that gets it out of my head?????
 

Actually, nothing coming out this year looks like it can do it.  I just might finish the year out with RevRad.  

Next year, Manson's SAY10 is the only confirmed one that might get to do the nasty with my car.  

Unconfirmed Dates:   The Offspring and Gorillaz.

Every time I listen to RevRad, I do an encore of Somewhere Now and Forever Now. My love for these songs is boundless at the moment.

I feel like saying you would remain friends or whatever with someone who has an extremely different political leaning to you comes from a position of privilege, or it's someone who doesn't understand politics properly. I've heard a white man say he thinks it's ludicrous to drop his friends who are far right Trump supporters and agree with everything he says, and I'm here like... well, you'd sure feel fucking differently if you were a person who might ever need the option of abortion, or you were someone who's Illegal, Muslim, black etc.

So yes, I do think politics shape the interests of a lot of people who actually pay attention to the policies of what the major parties support. I would have to part ways with Green Day if it turned out they were in favour of ripping away womens' rights, supported Nazi ideology except where Muslims replace Jews, and perpetrated extremely harmful ideas about Latinx people. And I'm not even American.

B_I_G_O_T.

I implore you to not eat up all the garbage the mainstream media pukes out daily and actually look elsewhere. You learn nothing in life blocking opposing views, opinions, and the like. Besides the gross group-think your post included, I'll leave it at revisiting those things you think are so true.

 

Actually, Green Day has ....and always will be a band that writes LOVE songs, they always have, every album.

It hasn't changed, and it won't, and because they dared to make a commentary on the state of American society and war now the band will have this corner label as "political." It's distracting from how great this album is, how Green Day managed to insert all different aspects of their sound from years/albums prior into one 12 track set that truly shows how they have evolved. It's the best mix of simplicity, acoustics, and speed that I've seen from Billie, Mike, and Tre. Revolution Radio is a masterpiece

I just got a RevRad Vinyl from FYE today, it was actually a dark green vinyl. I was surprised it didn't really go with the color scheme and I like the red one more but ah well it's still better than the regular black. Anyone else have it?

I couldn't agree more with your last sentence. I've waited until a month of listening since I didn't want to come to an immediate conclusion- but Revolution Radio is a masterpiece. I know with certainty I'll feel this way a decade from now. Masterpiece. I'm so proud of this band, and so happy for us that this has happened.

Hahahaha. You're the one literally changing the words of my post, and somehow I'm the bigot? Alright then. I actually don't listen to anything except the words that literally come out of Trump's own mouth because I genuinely can't be arsed following this election any closer than I must. Of course I'm not going to listen to the views of a man who has called my entire gender a slew of insulting names, been accused of rape by his own wife and several other women, and who has a history of perverted interest in young girls.

Whether or not Green Day's music itself is political is beside the point. The fact remains that if, as human beings independent from their art, they supported these ideas, I would not be comfortable being involved with them as a fan.

Yes you still are, and its unfortunate you still cannot separate yourself from that, you may want to try a dictionary next time. I changed undocumented to illegal to show that that's what people are angry about. It's not a group of people, it's not a culture of hate. It's the fact if you break the law, nothing is done about that, whereas if a regular citizen breaks the law, this over regulated superpower of a federal gov't will come down on you with no remorse or care for your well being. You can go on ahead about your insecurity with having your music, friends, etc having to agree with you about everything, it just makes you a bigger example of bigotry. AND ..OFF TOPIC

 

back to the actual thread, does anyone actually know the recording cost for RevRad? I remembered American Idiot was a little over 600k, I just can't imagine RevRad was very expensive being self produced (unless Chris Dugan is super expensive lawl).

You are cherry picking. But cheers for proving my point about coming from a position of privilege :thumbsup: If I'm a bigot because I will never tolerate being involved with anything or anyone who treats women and minorities the way Trump and his supporters do, then I am a proud bigot. I'm done here.

Lol again you prove nothing. You in fact are proving you have the oh so called "privilege" of being a person able to spew whatever things they want and as they please and tolerate only the things that you agree with. Using rhetoric like that doesn't make you seem right, and I pity you.

With Revolution Radio, is the first time in my life that, while listening to the full album, I don't think "I should skip this song".

IMO there is no filler, and even if there is, it's very well done...:lol:

Talking about new singles, assuming SB as the 2nd single, for the 3rd and (eventually) 4th I'd choose Say Goodbye and Revolution Radio.

And then, it may be time for another lyric video (I like the idea they could make 12 videos). Curious about TDTD...

I definitely think Say Goodbye will be a single. I also think they will make lyric videos for all songs, as blink has done for California. I'd personally love one for Somewhere Now and Forever Now, though they could do some cool things with TDTD and Outlaws.

Wait a second, you skip songs on American Idiot? Which ones? And I agree Still Breathing has great single potential, but I'd really love Bouncing Off the Walls. I also think Say Goodbye would be good as a single, and I'd actually like to see what they would do as a video for that.

It would be a dream. Maybe not a "concrete dream".:lol:

Yes, a thing like that it's EPIC, but I think it's quite difficult to make this dream come true.

I personally tend to skip that track too, along with She's a Rebel. They're good songs an sich, they just don't stand out that much to me amidst the likes of Give Me Novacaine and Letterbomb.

They should really do an encore consisting of Somewhere Now, Outlaws and Forever Now on tour.
