I've seen links on another forum to download "the new Greenday single!" and apparently it's called Working Class, which is quite weird because I had no idea they were releasing anything new for a while. :mellow: Anyone clear this up? :unsure:

 

If you want a link just PM me by the way. :P

I've just read an article on this. It's a John Lennon cover supposivley. There's this iTunes download thing or something going on tomorrow where loads of different artists have covered different John Lennon tracks.

 

I gave it a listen, but I didn't really think too much to it. I prefer it when Green Day do punk, as they do it well, where as this just sounded a bit wierd and out of charchter for them.

It's Okish, they should of made it faster and covered it on a 'punk' way. That's what they usually do with covers..

So is this getting a full release, complete with video and all? :unsure:

i dont think its getting a full releaese from what i have heard but i would love if it does

Maybe just a download release?

It's not brilliant...

Not brilliant but good,i wonder have they done much on a new album??

Not good enough to be released really.

It depends what you like though I suppose.

They are recording A 'Network' Album atm so i doubt GD's next album will be out for ages...

The song is called Working Class Hero not Working Class.

Apologies. ^_^

Clearly their are no fans of the Beatles in this thread.

 

Considering Working Class Hero is one of John Top 5 most famous songs from his solo career.

Love it :D

Wish they were releasing a new album though.

I've just seen it on Saturday for the 1st time!

 

I really really like the song! :o

It's ok but it's to slow and not really their style of music.

I saw their performance on AI. But meh, I am gonna be honest and say I didnt like it that much. :( Its just average.

Love it :D

Wish they were releasing a new album though.

They'll be releasing a new album soon under their secret band.

I much prefer Lennon's version. They should stick to and go back to their punk genius they had during the Dookie days
