Green Day will not be on lolla. They just played last year. Way too early to bring them back. If anything it will be riot fest if it’s not wrigley field
I think I like the song? I've been burnt by the past few releases of this band so I'm very much holding judgement. FOAM felt like a complete and utter misstep.
This feels like it could be their Edging. An OK enough song that feels like a bit of a retread or self-cover that is either a sign that the whole album will be like that OR it could end up being a safe first single/lower tier track on an actually cool record like Edging ended up being on Blink’s new album. Hoping for the latter!
Ehhh, it's probably the best single they've had in some time but it feels a little like a rehash to me and doesn't quite hit the same caliber of the Dookie -> American Idiot golden years.
Out of curiosity i looked at a green day show i was at in 2002 pre American Idiot. To be still playing Knowledge and Shout is wild.
Haven’t been on here since the song came out but I fucking love it! The prechorus and the little string deviation in the second verse are my favorite parts but the whole song is super catchy and the video is cool too All of my favorite bands are releasing, it’s nuts
I was able to grab one of BJA’s guitars during their Reverb sale last week. This one was his backstage warm-up guitar for the Hella Mega Tour. No band has been quite as influential for me than Green Day, so pretty surreal to have even a small part of band history. Great guitar!
My friend and I just launched our podcast, Green Dudes. We're going through Green Day's discography song-by-song. For everyone here who wants to hear even more of my opinions. 100 percent uncut podcasting. No Swedish producers or whatever. Should be on most major podcast platforms. We talk about the new song in the introduction episode, and then jump right into At The Library after. Hoping we get some hate-listeners lol. Green Dudes - a Green Day podcast
I still haven't listened to the actual song besides the live vids lol. Blink and TBS are all I've cared about
They replied to mine too. They sent a stop sign and a sock emoji followed by something about Charlize Theron's birthday... Which means 8/7 at Fenway Park. Wild that Fenway will be hosting two of the biggest pop-punk bands ever in a single month's time next year! Haha.
I think that’s a good bet. I guess what I meant to ask where are they playing in SoCal, as opposed to if they are playing here
The account is greendayinc. If you go to the story they have a post or two that say "Hey (USA/Canada flag emoji) fans, where would you like to see a Green Day stadium show?") and if you DM them basically asking when/where in a region (e.g., "SoCal") they'll probably respond with a few hints.
