Dakke Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 People got the concept idea from Billie's statement that Uno was like the pre-party record, Dos! when you're at the party and Tré! reflects the cleanup. In my opinion, only the Dos! tracks somewhat reflected this 'concept', but still, there isn't a concept to speak of. Tré and Dos! in particular are thematically all over the place.

I should add that I concur that they want to avoid disappointment by not talking in terms of concepts. There'll be prevalent themes in RevRad, but I doubt we'll get recurring characters like Christian & Gloria or St. Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky_stars Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The Kerrang articles have made me 10x more excited about this album than I already was. Part II of the interview made me think of what Patrick Stump (or was it Pete Wentz?) of Fall Out Boy said about Dookie; that when it first came out, he would just climb onto his roof and put that record on and drown out the rest of the world. Just simple, straight up punk music that provided clarity amongst all the outside bullshit. I'm not saying RevRad will be another Dookie, but I think this record is going to give fans a similar feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armatage Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Aw shit, gotta go buy the new Kerrang issue first thing tomorrow. I wanna know what all this hype is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Troubled times being about the Bataclan's attack is something that gives me chills. It's one of the darkest event I ever witnessed through media, horrible and terribly close. It's a beautiful thing seeing them talking and singing about it, but this is a really hard job, it's something still very fresh in many people's mind. I thought Bang Bang would have been the strongest connection with the issue of terrorism in Europe, but Troubled times makes me feel even closer to Revolution Radio, even before hearing it. I hope it will be a strong, beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emenius Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Rolling Stone podcast featuring interview with Billie Joe (essentially audio version of the print interview), but one of the guys doing the podcast has heard the whole album and gives his general impression of it: not overambitious or over-thought; a strong rock record that fans are going to love; a mix of everything that Green Day does well. They describe Still Breathing as a fast-paced ballad, and Revolution Radio as a classic angry anthem. Starts about the 8 minute mark..... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/music-now-podcast-billie-joe-armstrong-on-green-days-new-lp-w435701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unextraordinarygirl Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I liked that Kerrang article and I learned a lot from it. I'm even more excited for the album now. I'll have to listen to the Rolling Stone article next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm want so bad for a song that's at least 9 minutes 19 seconds but I'd prefer it to be 10 minutes+. They kept calling JOS and Homecoming '10 minute songs' but in reality , they were both just over 9. Lame. This is Album 12, make it 12 minutes. It's possible that Green Day will make the song lengths whatever wikipedia says they are. So somebody give me a 12 minute song. I think that's very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is my point was that people are overanalyzing to the extreme if they think they can judge the quality of a song or even an entire album just based off of song titles. I say that using "She" an example, and what do you do? Overanalyze the example. Classic GDC. Everyone just needs to take a chill pill when it comes to the predictions; honestly, we don't even have long at all to wait for the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that it was a bad example since "She" is neither a shitty or a generic title like the ones in RevRad. But I repeat, I understand what you're saying and I agree that we can't judge the quality just by the titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuous Xman Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Meh i'm a tad disappointed. I thought the new article was going to do into depth of each track and what to expect from them. A mini spoiler if you will. Guess i'm just impatient for the new album. womp womp womp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tresexy101 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I enjoyed the R.S. podcast - it made me feel like the waiting of the album release will be an epic ride to your local record store seem like an event and getting that feeling of 'I'm about to cum!!! Than you buy the album and take a longer route home so you can listen to the whole album and you get to 'release' your tension. I just don't want to hear an awesome song after an awesome song and so on and blow a red light or get a speeding ticket or hit a jay walker. Looking forward to the album, that's all.

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The interview I translated yesterday was also available in the physical version of that Italian newspaper (it's the same article, nothing more), that's really cool since La Repubblica is the second most sold journal in the country (From Green Day Italian Rage and Love) EDIT: And a new article from NME too NME: Green Day say new song was inspired by Paris terror attacks Green Day say a song on their new album ‘Revolution Radio’ was inspired by the Paris terror attacks last November. Billie Joe Armstrong is friends with guitarist Eden Galindo, guitarist for Eagles Of Death Metal, who played at Paris club Bataclan where 95 of their fans were shot dead by terrorists. The atrocity inspired the song ‘Troubled Times’. Armstrong told Q: “I don’t think anything like terrorism hit home right in our backyard the way it did that night. At first, I wrote it and thought ‘I don’t know if I want this on the album.’ It’s really heavy to write about and I didn’t want it to be trite or maudlin.” The singer changed his mind following the Orlando terror attack on gay nightclub Pulse in June. He said: “When Orlando happened, I thought ‘Well, it makes perfect sense to put it on the record.’” Armstrong also said he was surprised at how aggressive the album’s first single, ‘Bang Bang’, sounded. He said: “’Bang Bang’ is the most aggressive single we’ve ever had. I didn’t plan on it being that way. I don’t want to be the old guy saying ‘We’re going to show these young whippersnappers how it’s done.’ It was just ‘Fuck, this sounds really good.’” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
