madafaka Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The problem is that it always seems like they are "doing alright" for the first initial period. As I recall it, the initial month of the trilogy and 21CB eras were very similar in reception, but in our collective recollection there's a world of a difference. I'll get back to this thread in a few months when there is something more to discuss, if it's still up and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoodleBob Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Just now, Matt. said: And every other performance that didn't happen. Very true. I was just looking forward to the Ellen performance since they've never performed on there before.

Steven Seagull Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Please no. I get it, every publicity is good for the band but this talk show hosts are such idiots. Letterman was the only one that was cool and he knew a few things about the band. The others are just terrible. Oh hello Billie, Mike, Tre and the other three nobodies no one told us about. Ellen would probably spread her biased opinions, Fallon would be fake laughing like crazy, Kimmel would make a stupid joke that no one understands. I would kill myself if I saw them doing carpol karaoke but I know that was a joke. So you're left with Conan maybe. This parody video is exactly how these talk shows look.

Yo the funniest thing I ever watched on late night tv was conan, ice cube and kevin hart with that student driver. It would be hilarious if Green Day did something like that.

Harry Potter. Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Green Day isn't the type of group that would do Carpool Karaoke for multiple reasons, but I could easily see and hope for them appearing on other talk shows like Fallon or Ellen. They could make up for that performance on Ellen they were supposed to do around the trilogy time but cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I hope with the announcement of tour dates promotion is done here in Australia. Apart from Bang Bang being played on one station nobody would know that GD are bringing out a new album or have a kickass new song - hell we had to notify the radio station that the song was coming out.

fireballmx Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Honestly, all we need to see promotion-wise is what the trilogy never got: live play on tv shows. I can't tell you how many times I would wait around for, record, or watch on youtube a live song (or songs) that Green Day played live on something like GMA, some late-show, etc etc etc. They did a shit ton of that for 21CB, and there just was ZERO promo in that sense for the Trilogy. Everyone loves to hate the trilogy when in reality if it had been a commercial success, more than half of the nay-sayers would have different opinions. FOR NOW, the promotion of bang bang and RevRad is pretty solid. I've seen Bang Bang and their live facebook video pop up as sponsored ads numerous times already, and the already 1 million views on the YouTube lyric vid along with the over 5 million FB video views is damn good. Hopefully Warner will keep it up and promote this even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 When do you guys think the best time to start doing TV stuff would be, within the next week or two because of the single or wait until it's closer to the album? Hopefully there's a lot in the Kerrang interview to keep momentum going, and I hope the secret shows start soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'd love to see them do Ellen, Colbert, and Maher. I really don't think a huge media blitz is necessary nor does it seem like something they're interested in doing (based on how poorly their media tour went last time around). If they do a few appearances they can hit up the daytime crowd and the late night crowd. They don't need to do much else, IMO. Huge artists release albums with zero build-up these days. I just don't think going on every talk show under the sun is something they need to do in order to sell records. If they have the right social media strategy, get good airplay (which Bang Bang definitely is by what I've been hearing) and make a select few appearances, they'll be golden. I wonder if they'll play the VMAs? Perfect timing, if they so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
