02 - Bang Bang

[Asa.]

I didn't particularly care for the track initially when it was released as a single but it sounds great coming after the outro of Somewhere Now.

[Harry Potter.]

Still the best song on the album. And nice transition after Somewhere Now.

Agreed, wasnt crazy about it when it first came out but its grown on me

Honestly, this track doesn't even seem like it belongs on this record considering the rest of the songs here. It's easily the fastest, most aggresive song on the album (Hell, even rivaling St. Jimmy at some points!) but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I like it, and look forward to jamming to this at a show next year

[Semi-automatic lonely boy]

best song of the album by far.

[Chin for a Day]

Still an amazing track, even after 250 listens.  This was a great choice for a 1st single. 

[Christian's Inferno!]

Does anyone think Bang Bang will still reach higher positions on the chart, maybe when the album gets released?

Higher than 1.

[M0n3y]

In "De Afrekening" (Weekly toplist, Studio Brussel, Belgium) Bang Bang jumps from #4 to #2!

[ElmoGreenDay]

This song will always have a place for me. It's so angry and powerful! I think this is the song where the emotion really comes through. 

[rockmanx37]

The most powerful song for me!

[spark in the night]

This song is my jam

[Libertine Angel]

The only song on the album I'd say is outright great.

I've seen your reactions to the songs.  I will tell you to keep listening to the album, the 1st time I listened, my reaction was similar to yours.  I really liked it, but wasn't over the top about it.  By my 5th listen, I ranked it just below AI, which is #1.  At this point, I"m debating in my head if I like RevRad or AI better.  Every time I listen, I hear more and more different things and it is really exciting!  The album is definitely a grower.

I'll have to try it again then, though honestly I'm not massively enthusiastic about the prospect, I mean I want to like it because it's Green Day but for the same reason I don't want to be disappointed.

For me, it grew on me, quickly.  Give it a try.  It can't hurt.

Bang Bang is gonna be a Green Day's classic, just wait and see...

[Alan86]

Best song on the album 

[PursuitOfEpicness]

Still one of my top songs on the album second if not first. So badass, so fun, so Green Day. 5/5! Definetely will go in my top ten green day songs.

[That Dude]

My guess for what Green Day is doing:    BANG BANG is doing really well, so they are going to wait until it either starts to drop out of the charts or until it all but vanishes.  THEN put out the second official single:   I'd say Still Breathing has the most potential but it's anyone's guess at this point.  The lyric video are not singles, they're just doing them for every song apparently.   (can't wait for some Forever Now lyric clip!!!) .        While they aren't singles, they might be feelers for the band or record company to see how people are reacting to them.   Do lyric videos for a bunch of songs while BANG BANG is killing it and whichever ones get the best reaction get a real video and tour promotion.     

I like the Fast / slow / fast / slow / fast approach to singles

Idiot, Broken Dreams, Holiday, September Ends, Jesus .  

But this time around:   BANG, Breathing, ???????????????????????????????????

[LisaBJA]

the song is pretty cool!!! so powerful! and i like the video tbh

[Christian's Inferno!]

Bang Bang's lyric video has reached 9 million views on YouTube

[RougeRogue]

I heard this on the radio the other day. Like the actual radio which for some bizarre reason I was listening to?

Anyway, it holds up, I think. Good first single choice for sure.

That being said, I have a habit of not listening to the singles on every album very much. I should stop doing that.

[I don't care]

When I first listened to Revrad Bang Bang didn't really stand out, in my opinion. Outlaws immediately caught my attention. But after listening to the album multiple times I think that Bang Bang is easily the number one on this album. I'm just obsessed!

[Red]

I still can't get over this song, definitely in my top 3 songs on this album for sure. The moment after I first heard it when it released on the raidio I knew it was going to be really special. Glad to see this is one of their go to songs for live performances on tv.

Epic.
