Think I watched them a hundred times! 😍 I know. We need more Facebook live vids. The one with the tour of Otis was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 That Bohemian Rhapsody video has had about 400,000 views in the last day! At this rate it's going to end up as one of the most watched videos of the Rev Rad era on GDs YouTube channel!!! But it's all good promotion for GD, though.

St. Jonny Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Bought my sister a copy today, so that's like 4 I have purchased myself. She was incredibly happy, was having a shit day so I surprised her with it, made her day. Can always make someone's day with Green Day. Just has to be the right person. You can always upset people with Green Day too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's funny how the Queen video already has more views than the RevRad music video. Goes to show how little promotion this single has gotten. As in no promotion other than the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I took some time to look up the streaming numbers of some other bands which have the same level of popularity. I always picked the most successful song of the latest album of each band. Green Day - Bang Bang: 27.707.751 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities: 99.070.334 Blink 182 - Bored to Death: 58.748.237 Foo Fighters - Somethin from Nothing: 41.043.991 Linkin Park - Heavy: 57.479.525 Kings of Leon - Waste a Moment: 49.902.332 Sure, it makes no sense to compare Bang Bang to Californication or Everlong. However, some of these songs have been released after BB but still have better streaming numbers (Heavy, Waste a Moment). Looks like they could definitely work on their streaming- and social media-activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ouch, they're not doing well. I really wonder how they can look at this and ticket sales and not self reflect for a second and say: ''Yeah, we could do better!'' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncingoffthewallbja Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's a shame how Green Day's promo team (or lack thereof) don't seem to grasp the concept that even one pro-shot video, a couple of HD photographs and an interview/backstage video/livestream or two would really compliment the tour and undoubtedly boost the band's radio exposure and album and song sales/streams. There's so many ways and means of promotion readily at the team's disposal with modern media, you'd think they'd have figured out how to do things properly by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like even i could have done a better job... Grab an iPhone and get a livestream backstage before every gig like Metallica do. ''Let's contact Eagle Rock and produce a fuckin awesome concert movie from rose bowl or something....''. Let's just DO SOMETHING I don't think they have a team nor do i think they have like a promo guy... I bet it's just chris dugan who's posting some insta phots to facebook and write THANK YOU HYDE PARK and that stuff wich is A SHAME and NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH to make your voices heard in 2017....

I mean, there are many bands out there whose live performances are nothing compared to Green Day, but their promotion is way better. And our guys are incredible on stage right now, and they are hilarious/cute/hot in backstage- or Facebook-live-videos, so it wouldn't take much to make them so much bigger, I mean, as big as they deserve to be with the amazing shows they deliver every night. So let's just hope we will get more once the US-tour kicks off, and if we don't get any pro-shot footage of this tour, I swear there will be a riot.

CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Someone should tell them how to use their social media-channels properly... Anyways, I have the impression that they felt too much pressure in the post-AI-era and now they are trying to take it slow. That's ok, the sales are not that bad. Sure, RevRad won't become their most succesful album ever, but I would be perfectly happy with about 1 million copies sold. Maybe a bit more. That's not bad for a rock band in 2017. But I agree, it could be more if they promoted the album and the tour properly. But like I said a couple of days ago, we still have two more legs of the tour. Let's see what happens (Slightly off topic but a nice information to cheer everyone up a little: Basket Case was certified platinum in Itlay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course everyone hopes for something from the US tour or the South America tour but as i have NO belief in the GD promo team i don't think we'll get anything.

RedundantIdiot Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 One thing that makes me want to scream is when I see people saying that they didn't know GD were on tour in their country. And last year when people didn't know that Rev Rad was out! To be fair, GD themselves have done stuff on social media such as their Instagram accounts, but there needs to be more official interviews, more official pictures, and for the love of God, some quality live footage. I never thought that Brian May tweeting that Bohemian Rhapsody video would be the best piece of promotion this whole era! This Rev Rad era has a great feel-good factor (and Rev Rad itself is great) and I just wish the GD promotional team would do more to show the world how great this era is.

Meliciraptor Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Interviews are a good point! Every band I know has interviews with local media before the shows while on tour.

MillenniumFan Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yeah, it seems they were only really (moderately) active until the end of 2016, then they did very little to nothing (except for GMA and Stephen Colbert, which is not a lot in almost 7 months...)

No one around me knew RevRad was coming out and I doubt anyone knew about the show. I have a friend who said she would have come if she'd known about it They do nothing for the shows (no posters, no social networks promo) which is understandable because the gigs sell out fast even withough that (so the band spares money on the promo) but they still need to be seen. Live footage would help, more official photos would help and interviews would help too. Brian May tweeting Bohemian Rhapsody is the closest they got to any form of successful online promo. (If we don't count that glorious moment when Warner shared that photo of Billie's bare ass.) I don't understand why don't they do more - they seem to be frozen in time when TV appearances were all that counted. 5 minutes ago, melissi_unicorn said: Interviews are a good point!

I believe their reasoning is that the shows sell out so there's no need to do anything to promote the tour. Did they do interviews during the past tours? I remember they did hardly anything during the Trilogy tour but at that time I thought they were keeping it low-key on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've been disappointed with the lack of interviews in the UK. They've done interviews with Radio 1, Virgin Radio, Radio X, and a load of interviews with Kerrang, and they did this question and answer thingy on the Guardian website, but I wished they'd done more. I really hoped they'd do a TV interview on a talk show (I.e a Graham Norton or a Jonathan Ross show) or even a breakfast show, but they've been in the UK three times during this Rev Rad era with no TV appearances whatsoever and I guess they probably won't be back here again during this era. If nothing else they'd at least have given us a good laugh during their interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I count out the UK, I know they did one German TV interview, the photo interview in Süddeutsche Zeitung and that's it as far as I remember.

AimieeSmith Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 If you really think the PR Campaign is that bad maybe they should appear on The Fallon , Ellen , Colbert , Corden , Stern Shows in America to promote the album, oh wait ....... They already have . Even during the American Idiot era they never got on Stern or Ellen . So they must be doing something right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
