Green Day Band • Page 50

Whoa

 

Really hope they put that on streaming too, would love an officially released live album from that era

 

I'll just leave this here.

Is Butch Walker Producing The New Green Day Album?

 

I hope so

 

That'd be cool. A new Green Day record always makes me so happy

 

Might be a stupid question but on either Green Day's or Billie's IG the other day there was a post about them doing a song for a Metallica tribute album has that been officially released yet or will be in the future?

 

Idk how much stock I should put into the producer because if I did that's not a good sign.

 

If this is true I can't wait for this, esp if they are getting huge bands like Green Day to participate. Metallica is #1

 

Nah they did a cover of Hybrid Moments by the Misfits in honor of Metallica’s (a I guess they cover it a lot) anniversary a couple of years ago.

 

Hmm, walker has been a part of some pop records that I don’t like from bands that I do. Ultimately I don’t know his production style or how hands off he is enough to make a judgement. But I’m skeptical.

 

Wow, Butch x Green Day would be SICK.

 

Was it ever released?

That's too bad they didn't do an actual Metallica cover, that would be super interesting.

 

I'd expect this to lean more toward Frank Turner's Positive Songs for Negative People or Butch's own work (particularly Stay Gold or The Spade) than toward something like Save Rock and Roll. Butch's style is pretty fluid depending on the genre the artist in question wants to go with. But a Green Day album that sounds like The Spade would be fucking great. Biggest problem with Revolution Radio is the production.

 

Here for a Butch-produced Green Day record big time. Would love to see how he helps them advance their sound. RevRad was a solid return-to-form in a lot of ways, I want their next record to do some different things.

 

I honestly think they have another great record in them. Revolution Radio was a big step in the right direction.

 

Yeah, it is hard to see GD taking a route in which a producer adds a lot of modern pop sensibilities like SRAR (to be clear I do really like that album, just not something I see Green Day pulling off). I guess I don’t really have an issue with his tones or anything as far as I’m aware, so I’ll take your word for it haha

 

I feel like Butch Walker is a pretty versatile producer and I trust Green Day utterly and completely with their creative choices, so I’m feeling pretty positive about this pairing. We’ll see! I feel like they’ll just drop a single on us soon with no prior warning. Ahhhh!

 

Anything with Butch and GD band members is good with me

 

Yeah there’s a pro shot video on YouTube!

 

The "poppiest" I can see this being is something like Dashboard Confessional's Alter the Ending, which is an album Butch did. But that's not poppy so much as just a really big, anthemic rock record. They're not going to shoot for Top 40 in the way that Fall Out Boy did.

 

Did you hear what he did with The Struts?

I could see something like that working really well. (Obviously different kinda music, but the sound.)

 

No, I haven't heard that one! I'll have to check it out.

 

The Struts album is great
His worth with Fallon and Frank Turner was good
This is good news.

I think Green Day has one more HUGE American Idiot type album in them. I hope they do.

 

I feel like bands at their age are always kind of risky re: new records, but I'm very interested in that. Would be rad if it hits this year.
