Beerjeezus Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'll try to not listen to it again until the album comes out (I couldn't resist so I made a one listen rule for RevRad and this.) Not that I believe I won't cave in tomorrow. I won't say more about the song, one listen a day ago is nothing to base an opinion on, I just want to say that I read through many of what was posted today and I'm stunned. I think it's a huge and a very beautiful thing when someone creates art that truly resonates with people. Regardless of what I'll think of SB later, when I listen to it properly, I will most likely have a lot of respect for this song. the reaction it creates is what makes the song much stronger and more meaningful. this thread is a humbling read.

Billie Hoe Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 16 minutes ago, Semi-automatic lonely boy said: that is literally what i said in one of my posts (yes i was that self critical at the end of my rant). i am still entitled to my opinion though. i know that and i wasn't just addressing you. everyone's entitled to their opinion. and honestly, I don't think you have to give a reason why you dislike something or garnish it with solid arguments. sometimes you just don't like something. that's okay. tastes differ. it doesn't necessarily have to be problematic in order to be disliked. i have disliked a fair share of things without ever knowing why myself. On other note, I think Green Day will prove with that album what they're really capable of. I mean, we got Bang Bang and Still Breathing and these songs couldn't be more different. Even if I won't like a few songs of the album, I will not be disappointed in them or lose my faith because I know they haven't lost their mojo. I am really excited about this.

Metadon Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I really DO NOT understand these negative opinions. GD CAN make a song, melodic harmony pop radio song and it is great! They never sign a contract with pure agressive punk rock genre or sth like that. They are on their OWN. It is just Billie's head. SB is GREAT and MELODIC song. Nobody can write that harmonies like GD, especially with part of Am I bleeding.. RevRad can include pure punk and melodic pop, what is the problem? Everybody can find something and with old shit, lets ready for concerts! People said the same thing about "Time of your life" back in 1997 "too pop, doesn't sound like Green Day, it's not punk, it's not rock blah blah blah....." Just enjoy it, it's not a crime for an artist to explore different paths, in fact exploring different sounds is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatsername Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I love it! I really hope they play it live. This single is my favourite of the three, followed by Bang Bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Guys, while I don't share @Semi-automatic lonely boy's opinion, I understand the point. After the Oh Love video came out I felt similar–I didn't recognize the band I'd loved for so long. I was disconnected from them for a long time because of that. I am in love with Still Breathing, but again, have been in such a position before and understand it. Time and space helps that disconnect, by the way. Sometimes you just won't jive with even your favorite band, but that doesn't mean you can't get back to a good spot again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Teller Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 So far I have read that "Still Breathing" sounds like: Pink, Katy Perry, One Direction, 5SOS, Bon Jovi, Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, Blink, Simple Plan, All Time Low, Taylor Swift, My Chemical Romance, Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys, David Guetta... If I hadn't already heard it, I would have thought that this is the weirdest song ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't get, not that it matters, is how someone can think of the song as though it is being "sung by someone else" but i still wasn't saying that was wrong. There is no wrong in art, just discussion. There's nothing more subjective than art. If anything, it was that thought that I was pushing. go have a re-read. Or don't and just believe me. Rememver when I was your favorite? The good old days. You are my favourite don't worry about @Scattered Wreck she is just a cranky bitch. have had still breathing on constantly - love it - even if hubby is calling BJ - Taylor Armstrong now😏🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnash Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 My immediate reactions to the first two songs off the album were a bit 'meh, is that it?' and they've both been real growers, love them both now and they get stuck in my head for days. This one isn't getting stuck in my head, but I liked it on first listen and have been replaying it a lot. It's certainly a bit different, and I can see why people are making the 'generic' or 'too poppy' arguments, but as an overall package it just works for me. After the trilogy I wasn't sure whether the band would really be able to follow it up with anything more than a mediocre record but RevRad is growing on me every day from what we've heard so far, I'm starting to get genuinely excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm getting emails from Warner Brothers that this song is out. I didn't get any emails from Warner Brothers when Bang Bang or Rev RAd were released. Warner Brothers are pushing this song. I think they hear a hit.
