Green Day

[fna692002]

Great cover. 09 is already a GREAT year for new music. New U2, and Green Day!

 

[Total U2 Nut]

I am genuinely excited about this I haven't listened to any Green Day in a long time, and to get some new material would really be something to look forward to. I wonder what we can expect from it

 

[MMP]

Yeah... and I believe that as the release date comes closer, they'll suffer from the hype even more than U2. After all, American Idiot was one of the most succesful rock (commercial and critcs wise) albums of the decade.
To me, it's on the top 5 or 3 D) of this decade

I've liked Green Day since Dookie. I couldn't really give a shit who their fans are or where their logo is showing up. I just give a shit about their music which I enjoy. I'm looking forward to new music from them. I can't believe its been almost 5 years since American Idiot.

First Listen: Green Day Revive Dramatic Political Punk on “21st Century Breakdown” : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily

After reading that, I can't wait for the new album. It sounds like it could be as good as American Idiot, if not better.

God, Bono said that there was no one to compete with them... there it goes. Hehe
This album seems to be amazing!

j/k... no one can beat U2... but this album seems amazing no matter what!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

So the new album comes out in May.. And a summer tour is projected! I am for the tour for myself but mainly for my 11 yr old son who is a HUGE FAN. I plan on taking him to a show this year.. He is so excited! Sidenote: it's amazing their fan club is only 20 bucks! Wish that was the price for a certain irish band I know of..

I didn't realize there was already a Green Day thread before I had posted my own.

Anyway...

We all know the likes of Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and Jon Bon Jovi were blasted by the GOP in the past for bashing Bush.

So why weren't Green Day criticized for bashing Bush in the lyrics for American Idiot?

Apparently a demo version of the title track leaked. If anyone knows more about this, please share.

 

[fna692002]

21st Century Breakdown leaked in demo form. Its on some torrent sites. Even in demo form its a great song.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

Green Day are okay. But, I heard they were supposed to have an album out last year, I guess it got pushed back.

 

[MMP]

I'm hearing the demo version of the title track now. Really good version. Me likey. Still have serious high hopes for this album to become the second best of the year.

 

[MMP]

Know Your Enemy was confirmed as the first single from the album. It's going to be released on April 20.

 

[Reggo]

4/20, Well played, guys.

I was going to download the leaked track, but when I heard the band were pissed about it, I changed my mind.

I cannot see that happening, hippy.

A new leaked song, I'm downloading now

 

[phanan]

Look at the previous page of this thread. It's been out for a while now.

And you can't post direct links, so I expect that to go away soon.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The title track is not a bad song at all, and will probably be a big hit. This reeks of another very successful album in the vein of American Idiot. Green Day will be unavoidable in '09 just like they were in '04 and '05.

 

[Total U2 Nut]

Oh, my bad I only stumbled across it today, though I have to say I am quite underwhelmed by it I'm sure whatever they bring out will be a success but I dunno, I can't draw up any proper judgement through just one song - but at the moment I'm not feeling it

"reek" of course being the operative word? i'm hanging on to the negative connotations, as always.

 

[LemonMelon]

It sounds like a Jesus Of Suburbia rewrite. Pleasant enough, but hardly groundbreaking.

 

[phanan]

I still haven't listened to it, because if it is truly just a demo, why bother.
