That Dude Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I heard it on my local station the one time I drove my car today. I'm surprised they didn't bleep "head". When they bleep words like "shoplift" and "gun" in every other song I hear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but anyone else think Billie's attacking the use of the Guy Fawkes mask in protests with the "viva vendetta" line? 'Cause it sounds very, very similar to "V for Vendetta". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Escape Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have to say, it's a little surprising that the video isn't up on YouTube yet. Perhaps they're waiting until later in the day to publish it, in order to have an excuse to post it again on their Facebook page. Or they might want to keep the traffic focused on one place. Regardless, it would be unwise to wait much longer, in my humble opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haushinka! Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Holy shitballs. This is the first time since American Idiot's release that I have felt this much love and excitement for a track of theirs. As soon as it started I had the biggest smile on my face! I absolutely love the sound quality, and the fact that it is self-produced is super cool. The fast and hard pace of the track is exactly what I was hoping for. As for the lyrics, no complaints - they're substantive and creative. Admittedly, I was pretty nervous for this track but i'm so happy it didn't disappoint! Bring on Rev Rad! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus of Seneca Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Y'know, it's amazing just how many different pieces of old songs of theirs you can hear in Bang Bang. So far I've recognized small bits of songs from the trilogy, 21st century breakdown, insomniac, and nimrod. And yet it's it's own thing completely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is kind of conglomerate evolution of everything they've ever done, and as ridiculous as it sounds I kinda want to hear what's next already just to see where they're gonna go from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm me if you want! if you've figured it out I'd like a bit if an explanation on the changes please too The complexity lies mostly in how the vocal melody interacts with the underlaying chords, which are actually quite easy to play, as it's just power chords as per usual with GD I don't have the patience for laying out a tabs chart right now, so I hope you can figure out my simplified notations, and fill in the blanks such as timing and rhythm.

Popular Post Shtrudel Posted August 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2016 I wasn't too hyped about the new song, I expected it to be a nice song and nothing more. But you know what? It's pretty awesome! I'm looking foward to hear the whole album. But for the love of god Mike, PLAY MORE GODDAMN BASSLINES! You and us deserve more than just root notes! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayish Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So, I like the sound of the track. Very unpolished, one of their more harsh sounding tracks in recent memory. BJA sounds good and Tre has some nice fills on here. Not the biggest fan of another political record, though. We've been through this already, but from the Rolling Stone interview, it seems like we'll get some personal tracks on here too. Some of these lyrics are pretty damn corny as well. Overall, not a bad first single. Better than Know Your Enemy or Oh Love, but I'm not exactly in love with it. Regardless, I'm excited for the album.

Justin1 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It's a great Green Day song if you prefer their up-tempo stuff like St. Jimmy and Platypus. I prefer their mid-tempo stuff like Stay the Night and Oh Love. I guess a single like this was called for after the trilogy, but I'm certain it won't be the best song on the album. That Rolling Stone article about the song and album is a great read! I'm glad he said if he could do the Trilogy over again, they would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
