In hindsight I could have made the most of that and posted some 'one week' shenanigans. But think of it this way, a third of my posts have been directed at you

I think I'm most impressed by the fact you remembered your login info and password. I tried for a solid 15 minutes and made a new account, I was pretty bummed.

Third listen - ok now I really, really like it. Best lead single from GD since AI, possibly even better.

Do you even X-Kid? :P

Prediction: It's going in the middle of the set where St. Jimmy usually fits.  But yeah if you're in the pit, better have your body armor on.  This one's gonna leave a few dents.

I could see Bang Bang opening the set with that broadcast intro bringing them out on stage. I can picture it sort of like how the AI Musical opened with TV's broadcasting a bunch of stuff and then bam, American Idiot starts.

I think it also works as a set closer. Not the encore, but just the regular set.

I feel like it would be a solid opener.  It's one of those songs that could go anywhere, but wherever it goes you know that a) it'll be there and b) it'll be awesome.

The DJ just said, when announcing Bang Bang, that it is one of the better songs at the moment.

Yesterday, a station in Ottawa was talking about how Green Day is coming out with a new song, titled 'Bang Bang Bang' and it should be released soon.... Glad I didn't rely on these guys for the debut :lol:

Those poor guys are probably still waiting for the Warner e-mail to pop-up in their inbox

That very unmemorable and throwaway track from a few years ago that wasn't played on the radio at all?

"Give me death or give me head". I interpreted that to mean the killer gets sexual pleasure from killing people.

I read that as expressing a general desire to be venerated without caring how or why, be it by being a celebrity martyr or being a killer or just getting sex, any kind of ego boost.

The Bang Bang lyric video reminded me a bit of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out video.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it too!

Well, my second thought. First thought was 'BANG BANG IS FUCKING AWESOME!'

Jesus I finally managed to re-activate my old account... anyway

I absolutey love bang bang! But I don't understand why it's not on YouTube yet. They could've just put it up on Youtube and share the link on facebook, they are totally missing a good amount of views here.
I know you've been discussing this before but I simply can't get over that. I want this to be as successfull as possible - because of the message.

They have advertised that the lyric video is on their website, which also includes a link to pre-order the album.  They are trying to get people to the website.  If more people go, more people pre-order the album, it can spike first week sales.

I know a few have said this before but maybe they're waiting to put the official video up there - maybe they don't want to split the views between the lyric video and the official video? Since the lyric video is so kickass? :P 

Still a bit weird. Although I don't have any other artists to compare it to since GD are the only band I'd follow with this kinda stuff!

Anyone checking the charts to see where the song is?

Right now it is #23 on Canadian iTunes and when I go to just Alternative, it's #4.

I don't know how often iTunes updates the charts, but it looks like it is often.  At around 5 am  it was #29, around 8 am it was #26 and right now it is #24.  Moving up the charts baby!!!
