Admittedly a good chunk of time has elapsed since I made my first music purchase. It was the spring of 1994. I was still years away from obtaining my driver's license, and perhaps more importantly my music fandom was still in its infancy. Don't get me wrong waveriders. I've always loved music, but during that time period I had other things on my plate that sucked up much more of my free time; namely school and computer games. However, the February release of Green Day's Dookie apparently caused a shift in [...]

Rarely does an album title ever perfectly capture how well an album truly is and Green Day's latest album Awesome As F**k (the band's fifth live album) does just that. Even as their song "Fashion Victim" (from their album Warning) says, "What's in a name?" Green Day knows how to make an awesome album with a killer title. Ever since I could remember I have always been a huge fan of Green Day . Strike that. Since 1994, when I first heard Dookie , I have been a huge Green Day [...]

Old timey rockers looking for a summer party soundtrack.

For some, June can't get here soon enough when the highly anticipated Green Day: Rock Band is released. Check out a sneak peek at the video of the Rock Band version of band's first single, "Longview," which sparked interest in the band from it's major label debut, Dookie . Hardcore fans, will be looking closely at every fine detail down to the stickers on Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar and nuances of the band while performing. Family fun in the form of Green Day: Rock Band hits PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii on June 8.

Sarà sugli scaffali dei negozi il prossimo 8 giugno per Xbox 360 , PlayStation 3 e Wii il nuovo capitolo di Rock Band. Protagonisti questa volta i Green Day .

Phoenix New Times Music Editor Martin Cizmar shares his love of all things 1994 - including his assessment that Green Day's Dookie "...was the last true splash rock 'n' roll has made in a way that's artistically, culturally, and commercially significant." Probably true dat, but I missed a lot of the '90s US style while living in Europe during those heady years. Still, I'm inclined to think that Green Day has surpassed that cultural/musical milestone twice - with American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Dookie is/was essential but I bet the band's fans would [...]

EPIC Green Day show last night at the Music Box in LA. They are perhaps the most unexpected truly great band of their generation. When Dookie came out in 1994 they seemed to be one of those bands in the right place at the right time, capitalizing on the rise of "alternative" rock on the heels of Nirvana, Pearl Jam etc breaking big. No one could have expected they would be making Who-esque rock operas a decade later, except perhaps Billie Joe Armstrong himself. Last night's main set was a mostly straight through performance [...]

When Green Day originally made their mark writing songs about smoking dope and jacking off, who would've thought they would become the modern day version of The Who, making ambitious modern rock operas and having the Berkeley Repertory Theater staging a production based on their work ? After all, the original rock operas like Tommy and prog rock bands like Boston and Steely Dan spawned a violent backlash and return to primal rock energy that ultimately led to the original punk explosion of the late 70's, the original inspiration for Green Day. By making these grander artistic [...]

Green Day is teaming up with MySpace Music to play a "secret" show at Webster Hall in New York City Tuesday May 19. The event coincides of course with the release of their newest album, 21st Century Breakdown , out May 15, wth a world tour will follow. Those Cali boys sure have come a long way, huh? "The List" is a MySpace-sponsored series of free shows-all fans have to do is add "The List" to their friends and keep an eye out for blogs and bulletins to find out the details. Past performers include Smashing [...]

Green Day has become one of those 'timeless' bands that people either love to hate or love to... love. For us here at the Tripwire, our opinion falls somewhere in between (how's that for not taking responsibility?). Well, the time has come for Billie Joe, Mike and Tre to release yet another studio album, but this time around the band is reverting back to a more intimate setting for their album release, having a party at the modestly sized Bowery Ballroom on May 18. 21st Century Breakdown [...]

Five years since the phenomenal success of American Idiot , Green Day are set to release their comeback album 21st Century Breakdown sometime in May. Ever since Dookie the punk rockers have always to manage to serve at least one great song from each album. It is "When I Come Around" on Dookie , "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" on Nimrod , "Minority" on Warning and "American Idiot" on American Idiot . So, this one must hold at least one diamond in the rough, especially since now they are [...]

Comienzan a desvelarse con cuentagotas nuevas informaciones sobre el próximo largo de Green Day. De momento, lo único que se ha manejado es un hatajo de posibles influencias como The Who o The Beatles, y una serie de elogios a la capacidad de trabajo de Butch Vig , su productor. Pero también una declaración que no consigo entender: "I really like f-king with arrangements. I always try to look at the possibilities of how you write powerpop music. ¿Power Pop? ¿Es que han hecho [...]
