okotavio Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I can see them playing at iHeart again. It would be a nice "we're sorry for the mess" kinda thing for their fans there and it'd get a lot of social media buzz -- imagine the headlines "Green Day comes back to iHeart 4 years after meltdown" bla bla bla. Not sure If they would do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZSebs Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just now, Steven Seagull said: Being mainstream was never what punk rock was about. Exactly. I honestly don't believe Green Day cares about how well their songs do on the charts. As Billie said once, he doesn't care if he is playing for 20 or 20,000 people.

Not sure If they would do it though. It would be good press, but Billie even said in that post-rehab interview that he felt so out of place at iHeart and trying to put together a setlist that makes sense when you have limited time with Usher as one of your fellow performers. It was just a weird situation for them all around, I think. Obviously there were bigger issues happening that escalated the situation, but that may have been a concert they committed to without actually wanting to do it.

Blink just did iHeart last month which was only them playing with a reporter in between asking them about the songs. Something similar to Storytellers and a MTV show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JardyOfSuburbia Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I hate that Green Day "needs" iHeartRadio. Also, I wonder if they will make an appearance on Ellen since they had to scrap that during the trilogy promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The Facebook video of Bang Bang has had 6.1m views for a while so I think people have mainly stopped watching that video. The YouTube video currently has 2.4m views. Combined it has 8.5m views, already beating the Oh Love lyric video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's only so many times you can watch a lyric video- I'm hoping they'll bring the music video out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be a mainstream band so the fans will like you. Maybe that's good for GD. Stay away from top charts and see who the real fans are. Those who only liked you because you were mainstream or those who stuck with you during hard times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is they can do whatever the fuck they want and it won't make them less "punk". And all that "real fans/not real fans" is just stupid, let them do whatever they want and if they are succesfull on the mainstream charts etc, good for them, maybe that will mean that more people get to hear their music. All that shaming because "you didn't know them before they we're popular" is obnoxious and reminds me of all the non sense hate some twenty one pilots fans get.

Steven Seagull Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The guy said that he's sad because they're not doing great on the charts to which I replied that punk rock was never about being mainstream, so it's nothing wrong if they are not on top of the charts anymore. People who like them will still hear the song and people who don't like them won't. What's wrong with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakke Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Bang Bang: #185 in Top Songs (all) on iTunes, #17 in Alternative Top Songs on iTunes. #16 on Billboard's Alternative Rock Songs chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter. Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Do you think they'll release a more "commercial" single before the album drops or was Bang Bang supposed to be the one to make it big? Or do they not care about commercial success at all by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I don't think Bang Bang has peaked yet. Cheap Thrills by Sia got to number one last week and it's been out since February. Charts are weird and I don't really understand them but I do think a week is a bit too early to call it on how well it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
