    You're right. It sounds like Green Day, which is something Green Day haven't managed for a while now so I think a lot of fans (myself included) are more than happy with this return to form.

      I am a huge greenday fan, this song sounds like a mix of songs from American Idiot, the trilogy and 21st Century Breakdown, while it is a return to form as I expected they would go back to, it's missing something for me.

      They managed it with Revolution Radio, that was a good album

    Green Day actually did promote their touring guitarist to an offical member when they started recording the 2012 trilogy but before they started recording 2016's Revolution Radio he had a battle with cancer and has been a touring guitarist ever since.
    Nice reaction. I like you guys so I'm subbing.

    His voice is so iconic. And the calmer beatles section is soooo good for that song. Now please react to a few new blink songs from the new album. Its really old school and a mix of everything theyve done

    Jason White is Green Day's second guitarist, at least when touring, I don't know if he's ever been involved in their writing process but he's been playing live with them for over 20 years. I believe he actually was in the video for 21 Guns.

    First saw them live at Festival Hall. It was a crazy punk show. People stage diving off the balcony at the back of the venue! Then saw them at Etihad Stadium. Not the same. They did not have the sound for the bg stage. Seen them since at a Soundwave festival. They had their stadium rock shtick down pat then. Really good at it, but much preferred the sweaty punk show :D

    Green Day is an interesting band, especially has it pertains to America and the "American Dream." I highly recommend Lindsay Ellis' essay about American protest music during the early 2000's for more on this topic, as it heavily features Green Day as one of the few bands openly opposing invasion into Iraq when other bands were cashing in on the patriotism: czcams.com/video/ehbgAGlrVKE/video.html
    I think you'll find, Nathan, that plenty on the left here in the States are in full agreement with you with respect to guns, and what stops meaningful change from happening are systems built against our wishes and, as you said, a misguided understanding of what "freedom" means that's been passed down from generations of pro-America propaganda. As for this song, I'm with Johnny... it sounds like Green Day, lol. Between these guys and Anti-Flag, I get my fill of that mid-2000's punk sound pretty quickly. This was hella catchy!

    So Jason White, the second guitarist, has been with Green Day since, I wanna say 1994, and during the trilogy era was an official part of the band but decided himself he would rather he a hired gun than part of the band

    The triple albums actually had a lot of awesome stuff on them and a lot of early punk sound. Not sure why people did not listen to them. It was b/c they turned their back on the whole crap rock opera of 21st C. I for one was glad they dropped that. I hope it is not back.
