Signe Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 How's the tickets sales been going during the europe summer tour? Hyde Park and Dublin where the only one sold out that I know of. But they played mostly festivals so maybe its hard to tell how they alone did. The winter tour seemed way more hyped up. Comparing Malmö Arena and Scandinavium was a bit sad.. but equally great. Perhaps we will get smaller venues next time which would be wonderful. But I also love it when they are all 65000-people-big-and-popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Blossom Music Center outside Cleveland/Akron is pretty cosy. Seats about 5,700 in the pavilion and another 13,000 out on the lawn. If you're in the pavilion it feels small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. If I could like this more than once, I would!

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. Yes i also wish SO MUCH that they do something, but the point is that they don't do anything which is a big shame in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Revolution Radio Chart Positions This Week Canada Rock - #13 from #14 last week US Rock Airplay - #30 from #31 last week US Alternative - #34 from #35 last week US Mainstream - #10 from #9 last week For the most part, I don't have much of an issue with the promotion. They did all of the big shows (except SNL, which I find weird), they did interviews when the albums were released, they did some Facebook lives, they're individually active on Instagram which gets reposted to Facebook, etc. I do think a couple of mistakes include timing. They didn't do much to promote Still Breathing until it was starting to fall in the charts. I feel it could have crossed over if they had pushed it more. And they're not doing much for Revolution Radio now. It was recorded for both Colbert and Kimmel; why not have the shows air that (I know that's more of a show decision, but you get the idea)? I do feel however, if they want it to get attention for the Grammys (since it wasn't eligible last year), then they'll have to up things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I don't think that people don't care for the band anymore. They were the most present artist at the Hurricane Festival. I saw more people wearing a Green Day shirt than people wearing shirts from any other band. They still play big venues and festivals all over the world. If there is an issue, it's the lack of crossover appeal. Their new music is great, but it doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Many people just know the old stuff, which is a shame.

Goes to show how little promotion this single has gotten. As in no promotion other than the video The queen video got even less promotion and it is doing well. This shows that not much promotion is actually needed, if the content is good enough it'll do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If they're shooting a video for one Now and making it a single they have to do the other as well. It's a lot cooler that way. I have a hunch that SN might do well on rock radio...sounds like a Boston song 4 minutes ago, luketrebilliemike said: Does anyone acutally buy singles anymore ? I doubt it.

People still buy individual songs via iTunes etc. and if a single is pushed it will outsell other album tracks. This may belong in the show your age thread but I come from an era where if you liked three songs from a band you had to buy the whole album to get them (though I had a stack of 45s too). Usually those turned out to be the only good songs on the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It's true streaming is killing the sales market. I do the same thing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yeah, I think no one buys or downloads singles anymore. It's all about streaming these days. I'm oldschool, I still buy CDs (albums, not singles) but I think most people get all their music via Spotify or YouTube. So streaming numbers are very important. And airplay. But I think a good music video can help to promote the album as well. Generally, I think the whole music industry is changing right now and no one is really sure how to measure the succes of an album or a single. That's why sales estimations differ so much. The question is how streaming and YouTube fits into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herewegoagain Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Speaking of streaming, Spotify released their top 20 "rock acts" of 2017 so far just yesterday http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7865847/spotify-top-rock-bands-list-surprises Not 100% relevant to Rev Rad alone but Green Day are #12 globally and #11 in the US (#16 in my country, behind Nickelback lmao) so guess they're not doing too bad in that aspect.

bouncingoffthewallbja Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Even though so much news and interviews/shows/stuff like that is posted to the band's Twitter account, I'm actually really surprised that the number of retweets/favourites their posts get is extremely low considering how many followers the account has. I mean, the band account has around 4.7M followers, yet the post about the RevRad video last month (which is even their pinned tweet) doesn't even have 2k retweets and 4k favourites. I think more retweets would really be great for the band's exposure and Twitter is an excellent medium for letting people know what's going on with the guys! On top of that, Billie has nearly 1.2M subscribers on his personal Twitter account but has only posted 5 times in 4 months. Oh how I imagine the band (and their practically non-existent promo team) if they were more tech savvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's a weird list. Panic at the Disco above the Beatles? The Foo Fighters didn't make the list, but Three Days Grace did? And why is Coldplay considered a rock band? Anyways, I think Pop/Hip-Hop-musicians are far more succesful on Spotify. For some reason, rock fans tend to buy more physical copies of albums (at least that's what I think ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
