Liam Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 8 hours ago, JJ1964 said: There actually is a psychological link with mass shooters and sexual frustration. They replace their lack of sex with destruction. I think that line is just brilliant. Originally I interrupted the line as "People will either hate me (give me death) or love/praise me (give me head) though this actually more sense. Especially if it is inspired by Elliot Rodgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniax Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 The song is alright but I honestly don't "feel it" yet. I'm not in love. I think it's because I can't really predict the rest of the album with it. It's not the same kind of sneak peak I feel like I recieved from Know your enemy and Oh love. I believe I will feel differently about it once I can hear it in an album, as a whole. As a part of something. However,... live. Oh my fucking god. This will sound good.

Popular Post Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted August 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2016 Finally got my copy of Kerrang today and had the chance to read it properly rather than squinting at the pics on the Kerrang thread and read that Billie got the inspiration for the song from the shooter (Elliot Rodgers) in San Diego in 2014 which I actually found many of the lyrics fit perfectly with/reminded me of before he had said that. I watched a documentary on the guy and it was scary as hell. His mentality and the way he documented his behaviour and ideas on social media both in YouTube videos and in a detailed blog "broadcasting from my room" and his obsession with guns "playing with my toys". As it transpired in the case of Rodgers police had searched his apartment a week before the mass shooting looking for guns as his parents had been concerned but the police did not search Rodgers bedroom hence failed to find the weapons later used in the attack. Also his entire reason for killing people was because he couldn't get girls "give me death or give me head" and he also craved attention "I wanna be a celebrity martyr". I guess given the intro with the various news reports the song grew to be about the wider culture of mass shootings not just one case and that would account for lines like "I testify like a lullaby of memories, Broadcasting live and it's on my radio". To me that sounds like a shooter testifying at trial and the memory of the shooting is like a lullaby for him and while it's being broadcast live, giving him more "fame" which is what he so desperately seeks it's on his radio in his cell in prison. My favourite line though is "I got my photo bomb, I got my Vietnam" It's just so screwed up like oh well, you're all dead but I got my photo op and my chance at playing soldier or zombie apocalypse for thirty minutes. And you know that there are people out there that have thought and do think like this and scarier yet they have access to weapons. Anyway I really love the lyrics. So brilliant. So many clever references and metaphors. Sorry for the long post 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 411 Music Fact or Fiction: Is Green Day’s New Song a Good One? Green Day’s new song “Bang Bang” was worth listening to. Joseph Lee: FACT – I haven’t soured on Green Day quite like everyone else seems to, as I enjoyed several songs from their last album trilogy. That said, “Bang Bang” was a fun little song that promises an enjoyable new album from the band. Jeremy Thomas: FACT – “Bang Bang” is a nice, rambunctious throwback effort that contained some of the energy missing from the Uno, Dos and Tres era. It’s not their most memorable song by any stretch, but it’s infections pop-punk which is what the band does best. It’s nice to see the group back in their comfort zone and it did its job in making me look forward to their upcoming album a little more. http://411mania.com/music/411-music-fact-or-fiction-is-green-days-new-song-a-good-one/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
