You already know how to play it 

Green Day songs are typically pretty easy to learn how to play after 1-2 listens haha, just a bunch of power chords :P

Learning a 4 chord song isn't rocket science.

I really hope that members of Green Day are creeping on this thread and see how much we all love it.  :D

lots of the black parade graphics were inspired by green day's graphics and promo material during american idiot ;) 

Can confirm. MCR has been inspired by Green Day since the Revenge days.

The guitar riff kind of reminds me of St Jimmy at times, but I love it. I can't stop smiling :D

Meant to post this here but somehow it ended up in the album thread...

 

Is nobody gonna mention the "GIVE ME DEATH OR GIVE ME HEAD" lyric?  :ga:

That was fucking sick!! I don't feel like I'm listening to 3 middle aged men trying to be down with the kids, this song could easily have been written by people my age!! I fucking love it!

I like the song. It's rocky, fast and I think it would be great live. But at the same time it's very samey. It's the sound of new era Green Day, it reminds me very much of American Idiot and 21CB. I don't get the comparisons people are making to old Green Day because all I hear is rock opera.

I don't know if anyone's posted the lyrics yet or not but just in case:

I get my kicks and I want to start a rager
I want to dance like I'm on the video
I got a fever for violent behavior
I'm sweating bullets like a modern Romeo

(Bang bang!)
(Gimme fame!)
Shoot my up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
(You're dead!)
(I'm well fed!)
Give me death or give me head
Daddy's little psycho
And mommy's little soldier

I testify like a lullaby of memories
Broadcasting live
And it's on my radio
I got my photobomb
I got my Vietnam
I love a lie just like anybody else

(Bang bang!)
(Gimme fame!)
Shoot my up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
(You're dead!)
(I'm well fed!)
Give me death or give me head
Broadcasting from my room
And playing with my toys

I want to be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
The hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho
And mommy's little soldier

I want to be like the soldiers on the screen
It's my private ho-ly war
Oh baby baby this is viva vendetta
For this is love or it's
World War Zero!

I want to be a celebrity martyr
The little man in my own private drama
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
The hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho
and mommy's little soldier

I want to be a celebrity martyr
The little man in my own private drama
Hurrah!
Hurrah!
The hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho
and mommy's little soldier!

i swear to good the lyric is definitely 'the leading man in my own private drama' and not 'little man' 

i'm not gonna stop saying it

it's so clear

it doesn't sound like 'little' at all

I'm just sitting here reading these in awe. This is some of the most powerful lyrics they've written

I hear "leading" too. It makes sense. Might have just been a fuck-up creating the video.

Yeah. I knew that guy who said it was similar to a Dookie song wasn't reliable.

Knowing that this song is written through the eyes of a mass shooter kinda puts it in perspective 🙄

I really really really love this song! It's fast, it's catchy, overall I'm still freaking over the announcement of the album title, track list and release date all in the space of 30 minutes prior to Bang Bang being heard for the first time. And reading the Rolling Stone interview has got me pumped even more! Can't wait to hear the album, I've already preordered the lyric book and vinyl!

WOW. All I"m listening to today. I'm so blown away. This has got to be their best first single since American Idiot. I want to see the Green Day haters now. Worth the wait!
