02 - Bang Bang


Lone

Recommended Posts

So what is bang bang about exactly? I've only heard it once and loved it but didn't hear all the lyrics . IM at work so I can't listen to it for a while. And does anyone know if revolution radio is a concept record yet? Also I read a bit of the rolling stone article and it sounded like this album isn't much about the election. Anyone else kind of bummed about that? Idk if it'll stick as long with listeners then like idiot did

So, I took a 2 hours break from GDC to listen and relisten the song and... wow. I's like a child born from the best of each previous work of the band, including the Trilogy. And it's amazing, for sure the best lead single since American Idiot. I still have to bond a relation with the song, but it's so catchy, so fast, so punk, so fucking rock. I love it, the music, the style, the lyrics, everything. As someone said everything I wanted and even more. Already ordered the Vinyl and the Lyrics book/CD. I really look forward to hear this album. Green Day are back, they're fucking back. 

 

P.s. Lyric video? That shit is mind blowing!

The song Bang Bang is about the culture of mass shooting that happens in America mixed with narcissistic social media. There’s this sort of rage happening, but it’s sort of now being filmed and we all have ourselves under surveillance.

 

It's from the perspective of a mass shooter

My mum was dancing around the kitchen while Bang Bang played on the radio and ended it with “it’s not as good as their earlier stuff” mother are you serious

Oh, and then came ACDC's "Back in Black" and she said: "... is that still Green Day?"

MOTHER YOU HAVE LOST YOUR JUDGING PRIVILEGES 

Haha. I usually take a bus a few minutes before 10am to get to work. However, my mom works near where we live, so I stopped by so we could listen to the premiere on the radio together. She enjoyed it, said it was crazy (in a loving way), and that she missed Billie's voice.
Needless to say, I took the next bus, 15minutes after I usually do.

@kaylubd - i did as well. unprofessionalism-oh well. it had to be done XD

Yeah, I'm in love with it. Of course my power went out right before it premiered so I had to quickly download the tunein radio app on my phone. But it's great. Passionate, purposeful, masterfully done. So so excited for the rest of this era.

It will probably be better than the video. It would be so cool if they maintained the same style and elements for the actual thing!

Any news on whether Bang Bang will be available as a physical single?

is vinyl worth it?

Is it worth reading a nice friendly hardback book over downloading the eBook?

Or is it worth more taking a friend out to dinner than texting them?

Yeah, I tend to rant over vinyl a bit.

Every time i listen to the song I find more things I love about it. I'm so glad they came back with a bang, and we can hope that the rest of the album will live up to the high expectations that Bang Bang has set for me.

Not to sound like Debby Downer, but am I the only one a bit underwhelmed with the song?  I'm sure it'll sound better in the context of the album, but as a standalone it seems a bit generic.  Maybe I just need to listen more.
