Although frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was briefly hospitalized over the weekend in Italy, Green Day has released a brand-new music video for ‘Kill the DJ.’ The video flips between shots of the band members riding through the desert on mot
Green Day have issued a brand-new official band photo (via Twitter) ahead of their forthcoming three-album blitz known as ’¡Uno!,’ ‘¡Dos!,’ and ‘¡Tre!’ trilogy — and it’s a pretty sweet shot. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and the boys mug for the cameras with their typical goofy faces in the picture, which we assume is a punk-rock band version of a high school yearbook shot.
Green Day‘s new single, ‘Oh Love,’ which recently landed a No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts, is now being featured on an exclusive EP available only at Walmart.
Green Day are one of the biggest bands in music in general, regardless of genre. They rose from the ranks of Northern California to Warped Tour perennials to eventually having a musical based on one of their albums (‘American Idiot’). They are about to release a trilogy of albums in the next few months. But it wasn’t always this rosy. Turns out the trio got paid a measly $100 to play Cleveland dive the Euclid Tavern back in 1992, two years before they exploded with ‘Dookie.’
Ever turn on the radio, hear a new song and swear that you’ve heard it before? So have the fine people over at indie rock site Diffuser.fm. With inconceivable amount of music written each year, there are bound to be songs that will sound exactly something else, whether intentional or not. Diffuser.fm decided to make a compilation of songs that sound the same, with Green Day as their subject of choice.
Green Day‘s ‘ ¡Uno!’ ‘¡Dos!’ ‘¡Tre!’ album trilogy is launching in September, continuing with the second album in November and wrapping in January of next year. The California band will set the table for this ambitious and much anticipated undertaking with the first single, called ‘Oh Love.’
Green Day have been busy lately. In addition to filling in for Jane’s Addiction at the Not So Silent Night gig in their native Nor Cal on Dec. 9, since Jane’s had to bail due to a severe illness that has befallen a member of Stephen Perkins’ family, the band also wished Metallica a happy 30th anniversary in the most creative of fashions. Forget a generic Hallmark greeting card or an e card. Green Day sent their fellow Nor Cal statesmen a musical video – a cover of the Misfits‘ ‘Hybrid Moments.’
