I wouldn't know what's my favourite part/lyric but that definitely stands out. do you mean "i wanna be a celebrity martyr" part? it's my favourite too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Liam Posted August 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2016 Now that I can finally post in here! The song is fucking amazing. Completely blew me away with my expectations, they're really outdone them selves. The song fits the "revolution" theme so well, makes me think of an actually revolution. I've had the song on repeat since I got home from work and I think it will stay like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James11693 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Probably a stupid aeration but what is Billie trying to say exactly when he sings "I wanna be a celebrity martyr?" Is he/the mass shooter basically saying that they wanna become famous(a celebrity) and die for what they believe in? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuckWithInsomnia Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 This sounds pretty good! They go full Offspring during the bridge though lol. Also I really hope this does better than Bored to Death and Dark Necessities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he says in the Rolling Stones article that the song is from the perspective of a mass shooter. So the line is him saying "I want to be known for killing the people who are against my beliefs" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the lead single Green Day NEEDED. It is fast, loud, angry and political. They needed to come back and make a statement and that's what they've done... ahhh they are back!

DeJennsitized Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I had this fucking song on repeat all night. Still not sick of it. Virgin Radio sent me a DM about an hour after the song aired, asking if I was around to talk to them about it. I wasn't able to, but I also felt like saying 'buddy, I only listened to your show to hear the new song.' -_- The celebrity martyr line I think is from the perspective of a mass shooter who knows they're not going to survive themselves once they're caught. A martyr is someone who is killed for their beliefs - and the shooter believes everyone he kills deserves it. And that they'll get press for their "cause". It's a fucking good line! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The more I listen, the more it seems similar to 21CB songs rather than AI or Insomniac. East Jesus Nowhere has the same sort of feel, with call and response lyrics and a strong guitar riff. Plus the bridge is similar. It has similar lyrical construction too. I can hear a bit of Know Your Enemy and Peacemaker in there too. But for some reason I find Bang Bang a lot more poignant and energetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tresexy101 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Oh yeah, it was that Austrailian girl that wasn't going to go to her job interview ... I gave great advice telling her to get the job and may have called her sweetie? Should I have quoted Green Days Makeout Party and called her a fucking delinquent? WOW....u are ALL sheeple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening of the song immediately reminded me of East Jesus Nowhere. Mainly the news readings and then Billie saying something "Deserve to be annihilated" in Bang Bang and "And we will see how godless a nation we have become" in EJN.
