Green Day Band • Page 160

Ha, I had the same thought

 

Kinda sounds like theyre trying their best to go back to the ol American Idiot well after eating shit on the last record

 

I like the song. Snagged vinyl already. Will see the tour as long as it’s feasible to get there.

 

Green Day is in "wait until I hear more of the album" mode before they get a pre-order from me.

 

Tour is gonna rock so much.

 

I’m so happy they’re touring with Rancid

I really hope there’s a Toronto date, or else I’m gonna have to head to Detroit or Buffalo lol

 

i wish the blink tour had a better opener

I'm in

 

It makes the $ hurt a lot more. FOB/Jimmy/Maine was a lot easier to stomach because I really want to see all three.

 

I totally get it! But I am a completionist and it’s just easier to snag one now for me haha

 

wow that One Eyed Bastard leak is actually on here? wild, I wonder if they changed it at all

 

I'm torn on the openers. On the one hand, it's really cool that they're touring with the Pumpkins. On the other hand it means a shorter Green Day set. Rancid and the Linda Linda's are both great openers too... But they clash with the Pumpkins a bit. Haha.

It's all cool. And I know I'll be trying to hit up a date if one comes near me. So I'm not complaining so much as I'm a bit conflicted/knowing it could have been a way cooler show somehow. LOL

 

I am sure Green Day will play as long as they want to.

 

Take out that little American Idiot mini-riff interjection at the end of each line during the verses and make the lyrics not include the word America and I could see this being a Nimrod era track. I’m cautiously optimistic for the other songs on this, especially having heard the other new track which is just a normal fun, fast GD song with no AI riff callbacks or weird sound effects. Cover is dope too.

 

The show will start at like 5:45 p.m. or something weird and they'll get their full 2.5 hours, yeah.

 

I saw SP a few months back and I was skeptical going in but they honestly blew me away.

 

Could be something, could be nothing. It's a fan-run account that seems pretty plugged in... And the phrasing seems too specific to just be purely made up (though it still could be LOL).

 

End of July to end of September, huh…

…seems like the right timeframe for a certain Chicago festival

 

Canadian flag emoji has me optimistic lol

 

I just listened to the new single and I dig it. Get some strong 21CB vibes from it for sure. It’s kinda what I expected from a modern Green Day album. Looking forward to it!

 

I'm sure it was my massive headache and the fact I was on hour 10 of the festival...but this sounds way better now than it did live.

Haha when I heard this live I was hating it. Sounded like an AI created green day protest song...but I dig it now.

 

Right?!! Lollapalooza is right in the middle of that! Blink and Green Day for Lolla in the same year?!! Wild times!

JK. Curious to see how it pans out. Thinking about it, though... Given that the Pumpkins are in the mix on this one too... How would that influence venue selection/headliner status? Legit asking as I have no clue about the Pumpkins draw.

But I could see a scenario where they skip Chicago with Green Day doing Riot and the Pumpkins doing their own headlining gig later or something.

Yeah, the 21CB vibes are strong! It kinda feels like if 21CB were more urgent. A lot of that record falls flat for me because the band just sounds very uninspired, like they were trying to cos-play American Idiot or something and force that moment for a second time? This has a similar sound with an energy and urgency behind it.

 

I imagine it'll be more Rob Cavallo production than the Butch Walker production from the leak.

 

This account replied to my DM and told me Toronto is the second stop of the tour. Stadium show
