Green Day release new song “One Eyed Bastard”

Today, global punk-rock icons Green Day have decided to ring in the new year with their fiery new single, “One Eyed Bastard.”

The song served as the final offering ahead of Green Day’s upcoming 14th studio album, Saviors, which will be released on January 19th.

”One Eyed Bastard started off as just a riff that I had — a shuffle, almost like a Black Sabbath kind of riff. Lyrically, I was just reflecting on bad times in life,” shared Green Day’sBillie Joe Armstrong. “That’s the thing about nostalgia, sometimes you think, “That was an awful time.” Everybody’s got that ugly place in their life where they have to deal with ugly thoughts — it could be like revenge or whatever. Thankfully, I have an outlet in songwriting.”

 

“One Eyed Bastard” comes on the heels of Green Day’s show-stopping Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performance, where they performed 2 fan favorites off Dookie and 2 off American Idiot, along with “Dilemma” off their forthcoming album Saviors.
