Green Day new album exclusive!

In this week’s Kerrang! magazine, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reveals that the punk heroes have already started work on the follow-up to last year’s 21st Century Breakdown.

Despite making fans wait five years in between 2004’s American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, Armstrong promises that the as-yet-untitled follow-up will be completed sooner rather than later.

The vocalist says that the punk trio used their downtime wisely during their European tour last October, spending their time off between arena shows in recording studios across the continent rather than sleep their days away in luxury hotels.

“We did some demos in Berlin, some in Stockholm, some just outside of Glasgow and some in Amsterdam,” he tells K!. “We wanted get [the songs] down in some early form."

For the full interview, be sure to pick up a copy of this week’s Kerrang! magazine.

Judging by the gradual decline since Dookie, I can only imagine that this album will be as poor as - if not poorer than - the attrocity that was 21st Century Breakdown.

It makes me sad that I can remember supporting Billie Joe when he was a chubby nobody, yet he and his band insist on pandering to 12 year old girls and have pretty much entirely ditched their punk roots.

The fun and passion has gone from a once great band.

I'm loathed to use the phrase "sell-outs" as anyone would want to make money from doing what they love for a living, but that doesn't mean I can stand idly by while Green Day turn from fun-loving, pot-smoking punks into make-up wearing, "stadium" pop rockers, and piss on the memories I have of growing up with them.

Well said Dr Hero!! After 21st Century Breakdown I don't blame them for getting back into the studio to write something new! You watch, the next news item from Green Day will be, "Were going back to our routes man!"

It seems way to early for a new one. Not that I liked the last album, they seem to be rushing things. If they do bring out a new one, lets hope they go back to their roots and their rad style before all this 21st century breakdown rubbish!

i used to agree with ur sentiments Doc. But then i just accepted that bands move on and grow up? If green day kept on producing music like dookie they would be labelled as boring and repetetive. Music and punk has moved on since 1990s. We may mourn the days when eye liner and skinny jeans were regarded as shit. But at least we can look back to those days with affection. Todays kids will probably love 21st CB and not like dookie?

I am a huge Green Day fan, and have been for many years. But until this October, I'd never been able to go to one of their gigs. And I loved it... But the fact that I'd had to wait made it kinda special. I don't mean they should wait another four years, but I think they should leave it for a while.

Since 21st Century Released We Hav'nt Heard Much I Think The Music Should Be Louder Faster And More In Your Face Than The Last.

But Yeh I Agree With Emma Dr Hero You Need To Learn That If You Really Got Shaped And 'Tamed' By Green Day Then You'd Respect The Choices They've Made Not Piss On There Fire So Fuck Off.

People, WHEN will you stop all this complaining about Green Day changing? So what, they changed their Musical direction, but they didn't do it for money, they did it because the only option they had was to move forward! Besides, Green Day are still good, but not as good as they used to be. They changed, but they are still a good band....... unlike Fall Out Boy!

Anyway, Green Days new album should be good. Even if it does change, bands do that alot, but sometimes these changes are still good.

Excuse me the dude who says 'shame on Green Day(and fans)'!
Just because Green Day's songs have become more sophisticated then their earlier roots, it does'nt mean they have given up on their punk roots!
I say shame on you, for deserting the band you loved, just because they were brave enough to try something new.
And for the record, Green Day rock!

ok for people complaining about Green Day not being punk anymore.. WHO CARES??.....i bet you can't even explain what EXACTLY punk is..every band changes direction at some point so grow the hell up and stop whining and your stupid for saying "they rely on 12 year old's to listen to their music" cause im nearly 14 and they've inspired me to become a musician i also listen to Marilyn Manson so don't think 12-13 year old's no nothing about "punk" cause i listen to stiff little fingers,bad religion.NOFX,operation ivy,bouncing sould,the who,the clash ,tha ramones,rancid etc...

I doubt that it'll be a full album - but there are rumours of an EP, so that's possible. I'm sure it'll be fantastic, whatever it is.

I would also like to mention that I am a thirteen year old girl, and no, I do not hate Dookie, and no, I do not think 21st Century Breakdown was their best album. It was certainly an amazing one; but I much preferred Kerplunk!and Warning: myself. So, before you start rambling on about how 'downhill Green Day have gone', take note that all thirteen year old fans don't just know Billie Joe's name.

Instead of arguing, we should be celebrating that Green Day are coming out with a new album. I like the old and new Green Day, and im 14, 15 in June, so haha? Dookie isnt my favorite album, Nimrod probabaly is, or Shenanigans. Also, 86 ROCKS! (:

lately something has really been bugging me, that thing is people complaining that Green Day are sell-outs or that they’ve changed and other crap.

It makes me angry because those very same people who are complaining that their style as changed would complain if they sounded the same for the last 20 years! Is that what you want? A band whose music completely lacks any depth?

I love both their old and their new stuff. I think letting their musical style evolve is a good thing,

I hate it when people say that they want dookie back!! Because if they did, people would just. Omplain they are sameii and boring, plus they changed their sound for every album (apart from kerplunk and dookie) so stop complaining..

Also remember Billie said he'd written 45 songs, maybe this new album is the remainder of those songs that wernt put on 21cb, just a thought

I hate to break it to you, but Green Day are a better band now than they were in 1994. 21stCB is a better album than Dookie. As a technical piece of music it is their best ever. Their best albums are of course Dookie, Warning and American Idiot in terms of how good they sound, but 21stCB is a genuinely good album, and since Nimrod at least, Green Day have not only outgrown 'punk', and so become more 'punk' as a reult of growing musically (because 'punk' seems to have become brainless conformity - punk purists are by far the most moronic creatures in the universe), they have actually become better than anything truely punk could ever produce. I thank you.

I've loved Green Day since their early days, in my opinion my favourite albums are Dookie and Kerplunk, im not much of a fan of their newer albums, there's nothing wrong with them, i really like some of their new stuff. I just think it would be alot better if they revisited their roots to regain their older fans. American Idiot and 21stCB are some really good technical pieces of music and take a different step into the 21st century. So maybe for their new album, i think they should mix it up a bit, im pretty confident they can do it.........and for the record, i really dislike fans that just bum off them and say they know everything about them, when they only started listening to them since American Idiot, they should embrace their older records because there are some real pieces of musical genius there...but thats my opinion. hope that helps (:

are you actually serious? 21cb was green day's worst album to date, and they have been going downhill since Dookie. The song 21cb itself is actually boring, and the track sounds like he is whining. I used to love Green Day but I threw the new album out the day I bought it. The next album will probably be worse still. But I'm praying for something better. Maybe they are just declining with age. But I tell you what, the gigs are going to be shit, all theyl play is 21cb and the new album songs and maybe 1 or 2 off AI. Will be awful.

your right about some fans of green day piers. theyve only been with them since american idiot and totaly disregard their older work. most green day fans i know have only listened to the last two albums yet claim that "green day are my favourite band" but then you play their older stuff to them and they dont like it. It makes no sense?! how can they be your fave band if you dnt like most their wrk. unfortunately thats what happens with alot of bands that change their sound to something more radio friendly. the old fans feel excluded and become the minority. the mass audience eat up the radio friendly sound thinking it is new when normaly the band have been doing it for years, just it was more agressive or whatever on older albums. Another band this has happened to in recent years is Biffy Clyro. Now that they are Radio 1s latest play thing, they cater for that audience, have you seen a set by biffy in the last 3 years, they only play like 2 or 3 pre Puzzle songs. I still like Biffy, but they are a shell of their former selves, and once again, alot of new fans refuse to except the old biffy because its not to their more radio friendly tastes. Lostprophets are the same, not quite as bad a biffy though, I saw them couple weeks ago, the venue was full of 16year olds who were just kids when LP started, they played a track from the first album (which is arguably their best album) that wasnt a single and over 1/2 the crowd didnt know it?! it was so disapointing to see. Its a sad thing when this kind of thing happens, it feels like a band looses its individuality. but at the end of the day theres nothing we can do about it. Either stick with them, or move onto something else and treasure the albums of theirs you did like. There are bands of course the do manage to keep there sound and get big, and congrats to them. Theyve managed to stay true to themselves and managed to get big aswell. I blame 17 year old girls mainly. They love radio friendly rock. Dam you 17 year old girls and your obsession with ruining bands i liked ten years ago when you were still in nappys. Wow, this turned into an essay, I hope somebody actualy reads it.

I am 58, started really getting into Green Day, so went backwards and love all of GD's music, I don't fit into your assumptions about who likes Green Day and who doesn't. Frankly, their first album is not as good as Dookie, Warning, Nimrod AI and 21st CB. But, you can hear the raw potential, and that is something special on it's own, so that I love listening to the old ones as well as the new.

What it appears you and the rest of the naysayers can't handle is that what you identified with when you first hit the age of reason(puberty, etc), will stick with you like glue, and be your favorites. Nothing wrong with that, but you are not separating those feelings from the music, and so can't appreciate anything else as well. Kind of like if I couldn'[t stand Revolver, or Sgt. Pepper's, because of my attachment to Meet The Beatles, etc. I am trying not to be nasty, but you aren't really doing too well in that area, so I will just say it -- not so wise, nor old, but childish snobbery. Your contempt for the "mass audience" is really not feeling special anymore, because more people like GD's, or anyone else's music. You and the other's might want to widen your musical tastes a little bit. Sounds like you have a very narrow range in your taste.

LOOOK, TO ALL THOSE HATERS OUT THERE WHO WASTE THEIR TIME SAYING GREEN DAY SUCKS...I HAVE JUST RECENTLY READ A BOOK ON THEM. THEY HAVE SAID ALOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WERE SELLOUTS JUST BECAUS THEY MOVED TO A DIFFERENT RECORD COMPANY, AND BECAUSE THEY WROTE DIFFERENT STUFF...THEY DIDNT WANNA GET COMFORTABLE...THEY ARE ALWAYS UP FOR SOMETHING NEW Y'KNOW? AND I SEE NOOO PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL.
Green day are my idols, they are my favorite band. and i dont like sitting here reading all these damn posts about oh, we want the old Green Day back and their new stuff sucks and what not. If you dont like them, dont listen to them, stop commenting on all their stuff. jesus.

You all forget to mention that this new album has only been said to be released NOT in 5 years like the last one. That could mean 2 years. I mean, they're still on tour for their last one. They won't get into the studio to record officially till it's done, which wont be at least until this fall. You're all acting like they HAVE a new album already completed and ready to be released. If that were the case, I'd be like WHAT THE FUCK too. Calm down. I mean, like what, 6 months ago? Billie Joe said they had recorded a few songs that would be released at the end of the year. Yeah, that's exciting. A few songs. So although I'm surprised that this news comes so soon; while they're still touring, I'm also not as surprised cause they've already said in the past that they have new material. And whatever it is that they release, I can't wait to hear it and it will probably be great.

I have been listening to Green Day for the last 16 years and given the state of the world today, I am proud that Green Day is around waking up the minds of people of all ages. Now more than ever individuals need to realize there is more out there than what is being fed to them by the mainstream media. There is war, injustice, pain, and suffering...if we don't raise our voices or at least become aware. we will live our whole lives in the dark. We need to make popular punk ideals and I am proud that more people are opening their eyes and ears and listening!

I beg to differ, Emma. I am no snob. Three of my favourite bands, who I have supported for a number of years, are Alkaline Trio, the Gaslight Anthem and Biffy Clyro.

These bands have all recently started garnering the critical and commercial recognition that I believe they deserve. They're now playing larger venues, signing sponsorship deals, featuring heavilly in magazines and my love for them hasn't gone - because they still stand by what they stood for and they're still basically the same bands they were when I fell in love with them.

Sure, they're more successful and "mainstream" now, but that's not a problem for me. In fact, I do get a small sense of smug self-satisfaction when bands that I champion start to get recognised.

Oh my, oh my. What controversy I seem to have sparked.

Let me clear a few things up:

1) I didn't call them sell-outs. I stated quite the opposite, in fact.

2) I didn't say their first album was their best. I said they had gone downhill since Dookie.

3) I put together a reasonably, lible-free response to a news article. I didn't attack them personally, nor did I resort to name-calling and swearing. I'd appreciate it if you would return the favour.

I'm all for debate and discussion, but "NO U R RONG. GREENDAY R TEH BEST!" isn't exactly going to change anyone's mind.

Bands can progress and evolve, that's natural - I made reference to Biffy Clyro in one of the other replies in this thread. What I don't like is a supposed "punk" band clinging to that genre, whilst spewing out pop-rock rubbish, aimed at teenyboppers.

Other people will enjoy their music, sure, but it's clear who the target market is. (I'll give you a clue, it's not the people who bought Dookie and every other album up to American Idiot.)

I'm not saying Green Day are awful. I didn't like the last album, because it didn't even come close to any of the other's they've put out... including American Idiot, which was really the first step onto this slippery slope they find themselves on. The lads can play music and write a pop song, it's just sad to see them still trying to pass themselves off as punk, whilst seeming to completely forget where they came from and who helped get them where they are.

I think youre kinda right when you say that Green Day have abaondened their punk roots, but lets face it, they're all 38 years old now, of course Billie is going to write more "sophisticated" music, i don't think that he will ever forget what it is that got him, Mike and Tré where they are today. Every band today experiments with different kinds of music, i mean, if Green Day had released 6 albums that sounded exactly like Dookie there wouldn't be any surprise or interest left. I do agree that 21st Century is not by far my favourite GD album, but i do not agree that the fun and passion has gone from the band, when i saw Green Day for the first time last year in Stockholm, Billie Joe was running around on the stage smiling like a little kid. I think it's admirable that a grown man like him can still create music that catches so many peoples attention, there being thousands and thousands bands out there.

Credit where credit's due, they do still put on a good live show. Definitely entertaining.

If I liked the new music more, I'd be the first to go see them again. Just glad I got to witness them before half their set got taken up by the music of theirs that isn't to my tastes.

I'd definitely recommend their live show to anyone who hasn't seen them and likes the last two albums.

I love green day, and your silly comments about 21st century breakdown being shit, keep them to yourself and stop puting them into other peoples heads, your not gonna change their minds. Green day have die hard fans, and like me, will stick by them whether they change their sound or not, they cant stay punk forever. Personally I prefer the american idiot album to any other album. My views.

Peace.

Wheeey!!! I think it's great that they've got a headstart on a new album! I hate waiting a long time for a new album to be released its annoying :@ like with MCR...they till haven't even given u the name! how do we know there will even be an album?!?! what with bob gone, frank having twins and greards loss of voice!!.. enough of that... Green Day are really epic fp they always seem to suprise people in some way like making a broadway musical and magicaly appering out of the blue with a new album! and that i why we all love green day!! epicness

Seriously how can anyone say they 'sold-out'.

The thing is that any 'early' fans have a massive problem when their band gets famous because they think its their band and theirs only.

They still play the punky fast-paced riffs and the drums and bass are still as punk as you will ever get. What's the fucking problem?
American Idiot was a fucking masterpiece- completely relevant to Bush's America and completely in touch with the feelings of American (and indeed other nations) people.

They have sold more records and have been on TV more- that's because they made an album that we can relate to.

And kudos to them for not being the pot-smoking teens they once were- we all have to mature in life and it seems Green Day have more family responsibility these days, so well done for getting away from the drugs.

21st century Breakdown starts off so well but kinda lacks direction, but it was still a solid enough album.

Green Day live at the LG Arena this year is still the best show I have ever seen.

Here's to hoping they write another good album and make it as bouncy and entertaining as the likes of American Idiot.

I met green day last year, they were awesome. I thought Billie and Nike were awesome, geniunely nice people. But Tre was a totaly douche. Such a shame when you meet one of your musical heroes and they end up being rotten.

I don't know if I would call the last album bad. Nor can I say that they are sell-outs for progressing in their sound over the years. I bought Dookie back in 94...and two albums before that...and several albums afterwards. Should I be at fault because in those years more people were born, thus giving the chance for a larger fan base? Should I be upset that punks became punk dads who married punk moms and had punk kids? You go to a Green Day show and I promise that you will still see that same chubby nobody singing bubble gum pop love songs to three chord punk...or did you not buy 1039/Smooth Out Slappy Hours or Kerplunk? It is logical in any human growth that change will happen. I think the change from then to 21st Century Breakdown though is acceptable. The album was still punk, just the potheads grew up. Maybe some of their "fans" should too!

Bleh on all of you, saying these things. Change is good. Change is actually great. And they've changed A LOT. If they hadn't, they'd be lame nobodies with a bad image. And for whoever it was that said they'd been sinking since Dookie, you're wrong. American Idiot brought them way back up, brought them back into the scene and made them a huge success. Why else it is being made into a Broadway musical?

Dr. Hero, you're a Dr. Zero. There's this thing, called being smart, where if you hate something, you leave it alone. Your comments are worthless, and true, loyal Green day fans don't need them.

I just saw them this summer, and your right. They are still the same fun energetic 17 year olds they were when Dookie came out. Except now they are so much more political and sophisticated because there is no new girlfriend to write about. I think that they have worked hard to be where they are today, and a true fan will suport them no matter what they come out with next. I say this because that is my favorite part about being a Green Day fan. It's that "what will they do next" question that keeps me so I love with them and it cool to here that their are other die-hard fans out there as well who would just about do any thing for these guys even though we don't know them. One last thought, Green Day is a great band and they've come a long way, but if you chose not to support them that fine and the rest of us need to respect that fact end of story (even though we know your missing out).

dude its called fitting in with the times and also if you are calling yourself a green day fan you wold realise that american idiot was basically a shout out against democracy and against George Bush, whereas 21st century breakdwon is more operatic punk (taking into account such song as viva la gloria (little girl) and 21 guns) but in a way Green day's old school stuff was pretty good but as an 18 year old guy i prefer the new stuff, but not as much as the old school BIllie, Tre and Mike.

I really love Green Day, but I think since Warning the quality of their albums has gone down ever so slightly with each one, the lyrics aren't like they used to be anyway! I'm still excited for this new album though, although the last one wasn't as good as Dookie for example, people need to realise that you can't beat the best, which is what Dookie was. This album will most likely be different to previous ones, but in a good way (hopefully)!

If they had stayed with their roots and hadn't taken the chances they did in American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, the last time anyone would see or hear them would be Warning. Like they say all of the time, they make music for themselves and if other people like it, thats great.

I saw them earlier last year at the Fonda in Los Angeles. A tiny venue they played to warm up for the 21st Century Breakdown tour. As expected, they killed it! BJ was just as funny, spontaneous, and irreverent as when I would see them back in 93/94. At the same time, the quality of their performance was much better than their earlier years- great musicians, total professionals, and a very tight set. It was the best of both worlds.

I saw three of their 21st CB tour shows. Still a great performance, BJ was hilarious, but the "spontaneous" moments were all planned. BJ coming out into the crowd, a little kid coming up for East Jesus, a "random" teenage coming up to play Jesus of Suburbia. In each city, it was all the same, at the same point in the show. A little disappointing, yes, but how else are you going to do in on an arena tour. It was still a hell of a show. BJ's has developed his methods of making the entire crowd feel part of the show into an art form. They put on the best rock show out there today!

FYI- Mike Dirnt's Macbeth shoes are the doucheist thing I've seen in a while. Sorry Mike, had to say it!

it amazes me that so many people commented here.. people, actually 21CB is a great album.. and everything would change. perhaps their new stuff is not as good as the old one. but its still good, isnt it? and to tell the truth, at first, i really only liked the latest two albums of GD but didnt like their old music,, however.. as time goes by... hehe .. i found that their old music is lovely. then im addicted to this awesome band.. these talented musicians :)
the show on Jan 16 in Hong Kong was amazing.! its the best night of my life so far :P

I'm sick of people who practically claim to know what's right and wrong for them. If you don't like their new direction - wow, too bad. If you seriously expect them to go back to the '90s and write songs about stuff they experienced 10-20 years ago, then yeah I'll bet you'll be disappointed. Complain all you want. They'll do whatever the feel is right.

People keep saying it's all about the change and:

"Green Day changed! Green Day changed!"

"Would you stop saying Green Day changed? Musicians do that!"

You're both right and you're both wrong. Green Day DID change and musicians DO do that. But the issue here isn't a change from one musical style to another. The issue is that the songs on 21st CB suck, period. They just aren't that good. This album tried WAY too hard to make a statement and just came off as pretentious and... well, as trying too hard. You can't say it's about change because it isn't. American Idiot was a big change and that album does not suck. Far from; I think it is one of the best rock albums ever made. 21st CB is what you end with when people try to be something they are not. Now Green Day is trying to make humanitarian, political statements? That's great and all but I've heard them speak about American politics; none of them know what the fuck they are talking about.

I have been listening to Green Day since about 1991, probably longer than ANY of you. I have everything they've ever done, including side-projects. I am a HUGE Green Day fan. And I can honestly say that there is not one song on 21st CB that I liked. Not one. And it isn't a matter of, "Well, the songs are good but it's not what I want to hear from Green Day so I'm saying it sucks." I'm saying it sucks because it does. If it was another band that played that way all the time who did these these songs, I'd say, "Wow, this sucks." Get it?

But you DO get it. I've noticed that even the people who are defending Green Day's "right to change" aren't saying that album is any good.

There are people who liked 21st CB, like me . But I also like their stuff from Dookie and American Idiot and stuff. They've changed, and they're writing what they want to, but because the songs sound different doesn't mean they've lost a great way of making music. But you have to enjoy different types of music. Isn't punk about not caring what people think of you, and not being like everyone else? Doing what you think is right, and doing it your way. I know there'll be people who disagree. The album was good. The others were good. I'm sure the next one will be good, and good luck to them for doing it so quick.

You guys are ridiculous.

Their sound has changed, because their experimenting with new themes, new beats, new riffs...it's what a band does! Relax, It's not like they've gone techno. They're sticking to their punk roots, they're just not as loud, wild and reckless. Tre, Mike and Billie are in their late 30s, they're all married with children; it would be irresponsible and immature of them to release garage-punk songs about pot, masturbation and homosexuality.

Just because a band has matured doesn't mean their f*cking sell outs.

However! I personally don't like 21st CB as much as their other albums. Incoherent thoughts about politics, that the majority of society don't understand, drawn together into a rock opera...it just doesn't appeal to me.
American Idiot is the PERFECT example of a band maturing into something incomparable. 21st CB isn't as effective. Maybe its time they step away from politics.

They're trying something new. Love it or hate it; they make music because THEY love music. Simple.

People change and so do bands. If you keep playing the same song, people will inevitably get tired of it. So in the long run most bands change their sound and move in new directions. I still love the old albums like Dookie and 1039 Smooth but that was a different time in writing and music. I agree that the new music doesn't have the same feeling the old albums do. I think you have to step back from that "living in the past" view and look at their new material as entirely new music. I gave it a chance and now the tracks from the new albums fit rather well into my Green Day play lists.

I'm looking forward to a new album here.

Cheers.

Yes, this entire list of arguments is completely unnecessary and ridiculous.
Bands have to change somethime!!! They grew up, they had kids, they had more responsabilities. They can't go on living the way they used to.

Most of the old fans are-I couldn't find the right word- mad (angry?Jelous?envious?) that the band is expanding to other age targets. They feel like Green Day is THEIR band and no one elses. So get over it, and stop being greedy.

I do agree that 20th CB was not their best album, but hey don't you ever think: "Hey, this music isn't that great, but hey it's Green Day- I bet they got a better thing coming"? That is what a loyal fan would do.

And, yes, for the ones who just got it: Green Day is experimenting with different sounds. They have since Nimrod. The Ballad "Time of Your life", the next one "Macy's Day Parade" "Redundant" gosh, I can go on and on. There's also others like "Mysery" which is completely different from what we have heard from Green Day before Warning.

And my last point: Green Day is not a sellout band. I bet there is not a single person in here who wouldn't love getting paid a little more for doing what they like to do. They have families and necessities like everyone else.

And one more comment: I don't think that bringing out a musical for American Idiot was the best Idea... I don't know, what do you guys think?

WOw. Just wow to the people who are shitting on Green Day! Like COME ON, It's GREEN DAY. Thank God they grew up from pot-smoking teenagers. Their music sounds the same. They've just grown up. None of them are singing to 12 year old girls or being sell-outs. Who doesnt need to get paid? I'd love to just be able to play guitar for the rest of my life, but I'd love to get paid to do it.

All that pap about Green Day not sounding like they used to is ridiculous, of course they don't, they've grown up and it shows in Billie-joes writing-what a talent not to mention what a gorgeous man he is. They don't just appeal to the youngsters, they wouldn't know half of what GD are on about anyway.

Greenday have grown up people as most people do, ideals change, situations change...the world changes. Like you said, if they just kept churning out the same shit it would be boring and lame. Being a musician myself, their sound still gets me pumped, a sound that matures with each album. Anybody who has seen them live will agree these boys can still bring it and deliver a powerful and unique sound. Bille-joe writes some of the best lyrics around and he has a deep sense of meaning and commitment to what he is thinking and believes in at the time. And hey wouldn't we all like to hold onto our youth, smoking dope, listening to Dookie and chasing chicks.....move on and mature.....as the great Greenday have. These guys have had a great influence in my life for over 13 years and although each album has it merits and disappointments, it just shows that you can not please everybody (that is sweet with me as nothing is perfect). The best band ever, I am a dedicated fan.....Tre cool is the man, love playing his solid sound on the drums. Keep rockin boys…..thanks for keeping it real. I am looking forward to the next chapter.

Green Day is the greatest band of all time, if you don't like what they play, then why don't you just piss off. Also,, if they had stuck with their old style, you people would be bitching about how boring they are.

If doing what you enjoy for a living is selling out, then why do people use selling out as an insult? Would you rather be a carpenter who enjoys creating things with your hands with no knowledge of computers, sitting behind a desk typing code out all day, or a musician who loves to get up on stage, jamming out to what you wrote, standing in a window asking "Would you like fries with that?"

Green Day are the greatest band ever, joined with MCR in my opinion, But GreenDay's music is so much better :D
I Seen them on the 19th june
and they opened the set with 21st century breakdown, and i think it was the best song they played all night
along with dominated love slave, but seriosuly, i think every single one of thier albums has been amazing, and i thin kthe next one will be aswel :D

I don't understand how anyone could believe that 21st Century Breakdown wasn't a good album, I can say with complete assurance that the people who say this find it difficult to accept that green day have changed and evolved over their career. Seriously, get over it, and start appreciating how amazing the new songs are. 21st CB is an amazing album, songs like the title track, the static age, horseshoes and handgrenades, restless heart syndrome, are all beautiful and surpass anything they've ever written. I think the people who refuse to recognise it as a true Green Day album are still living in the shadow of Dookie, yeah, it was a great album, but its out-dated, and Green Day have to write songs that are relevant to whats actually going on in todays society, theres no place for the type of songs on Dookie right now. Also, i can't get my head around why anyone would say they've "gone down-hill" since Dookie, even if you hated 21st Century Breakdown, have you actually listened to American Idiot? In my opinion that album completely out- shined anything released before it, and its easily one of the best concept albums of all time. I think American Idiot marked an new-era for Green Day, and it truly showed how they've grown up as people and as a band, and 21st CB matched it. I'm pretty sure the genius of Green Day wont fail us and whatever their next album is like ( i can't even begin to imagine how they'll top the last two) it will be another blockbuster and truly a Green Day album. Yeah sure, maybe it would be nice if Green Day re-visited their roots, but one thing they're never going to do is go backwards and re-write one of their old albums, they'll continue to evolve and try something new, which is what excites me the most about the next album, and particularly exited me about 21st Century Breakdown, and i wasn't disappointed. I thank true Green Day fans who love all the albums and accept that Green Day have evolved beyond just being a punk band.

My favorite band of all-time is green day. and you going into when you listen to green day that there old stuff is better than new stuff. but hey i would kill to be in there shoes they get to be rock stars for the rest of there life so god bless them. And i think that they will start going back to there roots with the next new album. but if they dont so what? i mean "american idiot" was critic's wise there best album and i'm glad they made it. And hey maybe they will come out with something that will blow our heads off!!!!!!!!!! and if they dont i'll be dissapointed but they would still be my favorite band. And atleast there not lady gaga or britney spears. They atleast make and write there own music.

summing up the greatest punk-rock-pop band of all time brilliantly.

21CB was the greatest album ive ever heard, American Idiot VERY closesly behind.
Dookie, Nimrod and Warning are all nearly as good, in their OWN way.

gotta realise change, accept it, and move it. but stop living in the dookie era, praying it'll return.. cos it just WONT.

too much time has passed, it'd be a HUGE step backwards.

Everything Green Day produce is fine tuned and has energy, power and a story to tell right up to the last lyric of a song. They get better as they go on. From Slappy hours to 21st century they are an amazing band who show the crap in the world up for what it truely is. They are PUNK. Nomatter what anyone says they are. Green Day restored my faith in music. Each album they write is a masterpiece. For those who say they have changed or are sellouts, how are they exactly selling out. If they never signed that contract label other people who hadnt been born yet would never have heard such an amazing band. Which is pretty selfish cause if I had never heard of them, I probably would still hate the music industry ,as I used to believe all music was a scam. Green Day opened my eyes to what music is about. Sending a message, getting your point of veiw across, and these guys do it perfectly. I cant wait to hear their next album and hopefully see them live in concert. Long live Green Day and long live their amazing career. This is a band which will go down in history as one of the greatest things to ever happen to the invention of music.

I believe you are completely wrong about them, They are still good maybe evn better since their dookie album. All their album "American Idiot" talked about was stuf that needed to be said. The newest albums now seem to be better. If u really liked green day and really supported them, you could get past the fact that they are now make-up wearing, "stadium" pop rockers and support them for who the were and are now, and if you cant they obivously you are a poor supporter.......( no offense to anyone who dont agree with me)!!!! just speaking of wht I feel

Well said Charlie, but also dont forget they are all getting older by the days so the more time they waste not putting out music the more closer it gets to the poin to were they are old and cant get a single good lyric and can present the good old stuff cause they are to old to rock out like in the old days!!! LOL so I believe they should put out as much as they can!!!!! I love green day just as much as the next person maybe even more but Im not gonna be in love with them forever so they might as well put out as much as they can while they still have potiential listeners who arent going to critize them but still tlk about loving their band either you support them now and forever or dont call yorself a fan and back for the next person in line if your going to be a hipocrit and a critise!!!!!!

Seriously guys, stop bashing em. Billie Joe wanted to explore his songwriting abilities over the past years. He wanted to be more than a snotty nosed brat, his age had matured, so he decided his song writing needed to. American Idiot was the first I heard of these guys, but I love Dookie the most and yes, nothing is really quite as good.

Hopefully you guys have noticed whats happening of late. Billie has gone back to his bleach blonde hair and everyone's ditched the eyeliner. Hopefully signs of what's to come from their new album, hopefully no more teenage girls obsessing emo style with this new album!!!

Excatly, James I know wht u mean lol. But, their albums american idiot, bullet in the bible, and 21st century breakdown they all speak out to things that need attention brought to, I love the protesting music they do it really speaks out to show how the world really is..... And i personly didnt mind the eye liner the odd colored hair, the odd music, or the fact they are bi-sexual. People need to learn how to either except someone for wo they r or back off !!!!!

I hope the hell ur not tlkin to me, I never said they werent 'punk' anymore but at the same time they arent the same as they use to be over the years they have grown up and opened their eyes and seen the real meanings of how this world is worked.They really do have the best music, I have never heard any other band that can go on for years like them and still come out with GOOD hits... and their rebelliuos words really speak out to others, now if ur one of those bias people who believe everyone should be the same then why the hell would u like green day...... everyone critizes them for being either gay or were too much eyeliner or to rebillous. Either like them for who they are or dont call your self a fan. It honestly makes me said that I heard that they r given up the odd colored hair and the eyeliner.

Ihope the hell ur not talkin to me..... I never sad they werent PUNK anymore.....I just said tat their music is just as good as it was over 17 years ago when they first started...... all they did was finally open their eyes to the world around us and how the inner working of this world is controlled, which in that case caused for the rebellious music. I think if ur some bias person who believes we should all be the same I would say ur crazy, Green Day is a one of a kind if u cant except them with their eyeliner, protesting, and wild attitude. And if you definatly cant except them for the fact that one is Bi-sexual. U shouldnt even care,for Green Day.

Just Fucking get over it!!!
They're grown up abit and want to try new things!!
I think it's pretty amazing how the band have such together and still producing amazing music.
all of you out there saying they're no good anymore, i dont see you producing no.1 albums and sings, or performing at sold out concerts.
Green Day are moving on and trying new things and not stuck to the same thing, they are still going against the media and saying anything they fucking want.
So Just Fuck Off all you Mother-fuckers and GET OVER IT!

I know the music they produced when they were younger wasnt as violent or bad language or rebillous or protested. But u have to give new things a try, I mean what because they became rebellious and protested we should through out all our CD's by them and ditch them completely....... Um NO!!!! Just cause your stupid enough not really listen and hear the talent and the message within the song, doesnt mean the rest of US are!!! Everyone shouldnt care if they wear eyeliner, or if they are Bi-sexual, or rebellious. At least they have the nerve to come out and say they are or wear their eyeliner out in public..... would YOU be just as brave...... I DOUBT!!! So back off, if u cant respect their lyrics or their sexuality or their make up..... then u need to be on a different website, cause obiviously you arent here for the likes of Green Day!!!!!

Green Day was never Punk, nor will they be pop... Green Day is Green Day no matter how many commercialized songs they have there will always be Green Day's influence.

Posted by jimmy | August 31, 2010 7:45 AM | Reply to this

I see wht your saying, but under every label it says they are in the genre is punk.... how else would u classifie them!!! not that I dont understand your point. Green Day is the best damn band anyone will ever see or hear... and if you guys cant see that then you must be completely blind to the world!!!! Can you honestly sit back and say they arent talented or they suck.... when they have written and performed over 300 songs and over 6 alabums thats more than you can say for any other band..... Can you really say their bad, when they mimorize and perform all 300 songs. If you cant hear the talent and perfection and the outcome of their lyrics then your also deaf to the world and cant seem to know whts good anymore. Just like always I dont want to offend anyone but at the same time I speak the truth and how I feel in the matter. Green Day is a talented band and if you really dont care about them..... THEN WHY ARE YOU ON HERE!!!!!! I mean hello, if you dont care, then dont dis the ones who do!!

It really does make me laugh with all those that bash Green Day. Have any of you ever been to a GD concert? They are unbelievable live and absoloutely love what they are doing. So to start with, you have no idea about the band if you are coming out with lines such as 'the fun and passion has gone' as I can assure you that if you were to go to any GD concert post Dookie where you claim they 'sold out', you would take your words back.

The problem in music these days is that you get a bunch of moaning kids, it's not the band. Each and every band is entitled to do whatever they wish and they have no responsibility or commitment to stick to one style of music. I'm sorry but would you prefer to play in some basement in front of 300 people or infront of 60,000 each night at Milton Keynes? Use common sense and let go of the past as things change, and I thoroughly believe that Green Day has changed for the good. And before you start to try to use the 'you were just a fan since American Idiot' , I can assure you that I have listened to Green Day since Kerplunk

I COMPLETELY agree with you, every band is entitled to their rights to do wht ever the hell they plaese!!! I love when ppl get on here and critize Green Day, if you really hate them as much as you say you do..... THEN WAY ARE YOU ON HERE !!!! I mean wht to prove a f***ing point, quess wht we the ppl who care dont want to here your F***in opinion, Okay!!! I mean if you dont like them or really care then why even bother to get on this website.......Thats all about Green Day! I mean goss is there REALLY any point in it!!! I would say that green day is the best Damn band you'll find in this life time. The music now days is all about the same old stuff and just cause Green Day trys somethin new doesnt mean its any less good!!!!!!!

It makes me laugh the amount of people who think that because the music has changed that instantly Green Day are a shit band. You say Dookie is the peak of their career, but alot of fans who knew of them prior did the same thing because of their fame. "Because they're getting noticed means they are sell outs so I don't like them anymore". It's childish and, above all, really really stupid. Sure, it might not be YOUR favourite album but to say it's absolutely terrible means you can't actually be taking the music at face value. I'm sure alot of you discovered Green Day post Dookie and now they are bigger than ever and have so many more fans, alot who are young now, you don't want to be associated with a band who have only just got 12 year old girls listening to them so you shun the band. Sorry if I'm wrong, but it always seems the way that people reject rock bands once everyone else starts taking notice. Be happy you discovered them early, and look back at the past and smile.

Personally, I have no idea which album I would say is my favourite. But 21CB is definately a contender. I have a soft spot for Insomniac tho as I do like faster paced music. But one thing is for sure is that I know I'm going to love the next album because Billie Joe is a fucking brilliant songwriter. I don't think I dislike any Green Day song, and I think I've heard pretty much every single one of them. Oooh, and the song "Cigarettes & Valentines" sounds like perhaps they are going back to their roots anyway. Either way, be it something old or something new.... I cannot wait!!

Does any one really even know the TRUE first alabum by green day???? If so you'd know how far they have come from there to here. If you liked green day before then you should be able to except their decision to change and still like them........ Green Day is one of the bands that has survived through the 90's all the way up to 2010, thats more than I can say for any other punk rock band........ on their last tour they had over 70,000 ppl attend this concert, the biggest they have ever seen. Green Day is one of the only bands that tlk about something different, no days all rappers tlk about is how many girls they have or how much money they have or some stupid s***...... green day actually tlks about real things and its different each time..... the song 'american eulogy' tlks about how far technology has come and how far its going to go and soon its going to be every where and we wont have the need for various basic things that we us now, so we need to be careful before we take it to far...... the song 'American idiot' is tlking about how horrible our goverment has become, how they cant control anything or how we are more than a million dollars in debt.... there saying that there is no reason to trust or believe in the goverment...... each song has a different meaning and each song has a different message. They are the one and only band that speaks out and is un afraid of it!!!!! If your on here to trash tlk green day then just go away the one's support them and their ideas really just dont care to hear it...... I support them and I understand and embrace their ideas and agree completely......... so as a personal fan I really dont care wht you have to say, its not like ur ever going to change my mind or my opinons about them!!! ( No offense to anyone) -♥ Green Day

I just wanna add one thing - how can you say that a band isnt punk? What is punk really about? Isnt it about sticking up for what you believe in and have a rave doing it? Doing some certain songs is the most punk thing they could do at the time. Dont hate just listen to the music and ENJOY it for WHAT it is. I dont like Cheyrl Cole so i don't listen to her.

Thank you...... im not as smart as you may think I am....... trust me!!! But I could say the same for you, you seem very smart as well.

If I didnt truely believe green day is the best band I know or if I didnt beleive that what they say is true then I wouldnt waste my time to sit down and type.......... I believe they are the best PUNK band this world has ever seen and if you just get on here to waste your time and mine to tell me how horrible green day is..... im sorry but I dont want to hear the B.S. any more, if you really honestly think that then your life must be very drab and boring you need to listen to green day and I mean REALLY listen and take in some of their words and lyrics and add alittle color and perspective to your life....... Green day REALLY isnt like any other band or singer or music group...... now days you have the same old lyrics and the same old rap artists coming out with the same old S***....... and it gets boring really fast but green day is something new and colorful and something different with each song theres a new set of lyrics speaking out about differnet things........ and to judge green day because their differet looks really bad on your part.....!!!!

Excuse me.... is there anything wrong with liking green day???? If there is...THEN WHY R U ON HERE???? If you havent noticed that this web page is for green day, if you dont like them then get the f*** off!!! You dont have to agree with us, and you dont have to like green day... but you could respect the opinions of others!!! And to let you know their right, Alot of ppl would die without green day because thats all they listen to and once its over its over and its gonna suck.... I dont really listen to anything else either but im not gonna die. (no Offense) Green Day is one of the most popular, better punk bands still out there to day and they speak of things that are true and real... And if you think you could write and compose and play things better than billie joe armstrong than you go right ahead.... but I highly doubt you could!!!!!

i think green day are fucking brilliant. yes i hate the fan that like american idiot. and yes i know they've changed since the dookie days. but that doesn't mean they;ve changed as people. they've grown up and so has they're music. they appreciate they're fans though and know that without us they would be nothing. and i respect that. i saw them live and they were fuckign brilliant. they truly are masters.

Posted by lizzness | December 13, 2010 7:52 PM | Reply to this

You my friend are Fuckin lucky if you truly got to see them live!!!! Green Day isnt some little boy band that plays cute music. There are a punk rock band that play more than just music!!! They play their music with inspiration and passion and speak of the things that need to be said even if people dont wanna believe its true yes the goverment is fucked and yes we as people are fucked but that doesnt me we should sit back and deny it get out there and do something about it!!! Green Day has opened my eyes to new and great things that I didnt even know was there.... they touch the hearts of various americans and make people happy the ones who sit back and trash talk them and dis them are insane and just dont take the chance to listen to the real beats and lyrics of the music. Green Day is indefinatly the best band this world has ever seen!!!!!!!

I have seen them on videos that my friends have and all and they look amazingly awesome but never have I in person :( LOL I would die!!! LOL XD I want to go see one once I get my license but I doubt I ever will!!!

Posted by Green Day | December 15, 2010 9:44 PM | Reply to this

You definitley should see one. They are amazinq. Tickets can be a bit expensive, dependinq on how many you qet, but its totally worth it.

Posted by Kerplunk | December 16, 2010 4:27 AM | Reply to this

Yea, I know I want to see one Sooooo BAD!!!! But I won't be able to see one any time soon!! Because most of my family is really religious and they believe that Green Day is a bad influence on me!! I mean seriously...They believe that green day is too rebelious and outspoken!!! I say differently Green Day speaks with influences and passion and brings out their points in various ways that others cant and couldnt. And whats worst...I completely agree with every word that green day sings! So I quess im stuck for anyother year LMAO and I have heard that they were worth every penny on good tickets that no one could regret going LOL :)

And I completely agree he is VeRy HoT!!! XD But its what ever as long as I still listen to the musical, As I long as I still play the music, I know that my family hasnt won yet LOL. And Im not really into musicals unless they seem intresting and Ive seen videos of some performances and it seems really good!!!

Posted by Green Day | December 23, 2010 12:39 AM | Reply to this

The only musical lve ever been interested in is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. l dont know if you've ever seen that, but its a really qood movie. Since your familys relqious you probably havent seen it. But l hope your family lets you see the American ldiot musical.

Thanks!!! I hope they let me see it to. And no I havent seen it but I'll try and get it on netflixs and watch it. lol I have only seen one other musical which is the older movie Sweeney todd: the demon barber of fleet street. It was pretty epic kinda creepy and evil but it was actually pretty cool, not sure if you have seen it :).

But I was just told that for christmas I was going back to NY with my family to see the american idiot broadway......And now ive been told tickets were to expensive... and then told my aunt was going to buy them for me.....then told that she would have takin me if it wasnt such explicit content!!!! I mean SERIOUSLY!!! They are a F***in punk band you expect them to have perfect language...NO!! But hey what ever they can break my hopes and my dreams, and my heart......but not my love for the punk, rebellious, amazing, hot,protestic, band Green Day!!!!! LOL :)

Yea, thats exactly what I thought!! No, my family has seen me on this website and commented on how "serious" and "For real" This green Day person was and had no idea it was me.... they may agree knowing and thinking this person knows what their talkin bout but if they knew it was really me, then I would be in so much trouble. They already hate the idea that Im listening to rebellious music as they call it but to hear that im now on here like practically spilling what I think about them would send them over the edge LOL :/

Ive recently been told that, Green day is now in their studio working on there new album that is soon coming out in March of 2011!!!!

Much as I like American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown as they are both fantastic albums in my opinion, I wouldn't mind seeing a more traditional Punk record that echos with their ninties sounds from them

Green day are the best band in the world, their music is impossible to copy and their lyrics are amazing. Billy Joe is awesome and I bet their next album will be fantastic. Any loser who dares to insult 21st century breakdown or Green day should learn to recognise quality because they have no taste.

The "change" that green day have made is genius. The amazing symbolism used is phenominal, ther characters and song meaning is brilliant. Anyone who doesnt like green day and doesnt like estabilishment obviously hasnt really listened to their songs.

I completely agree....anyone who cant support them and the changes they made,obviously doesnt care much for the band. Green Day is my top favorite band and I have heard every single song starting from 1,039 smoothed out/slappy hours to awesome as f***, they have made great progress amoungest the years and I believe their just getting better and better. They speak of excellent points and bring out their opinions in a matter of way that is understandable and also entertaining and also outspoken unlike any other. Green day is far from being like any other punk band...they are better!!! :)

Posted by Green Day | April 5, 2011 4:37 AM | Reply to this

in fairness, green days old stuff was not all great, fair enough enough dookie was, but some of the other albums i thought only a couple of there songs where good other where ok. but they have kept up with time and have changed to a newer sound, look at warning that wasnt exactly like any of the other albums. i think there old stuff and new stuff is as good as each other, none of this shit about how they lost their roots, because at the end of the day it's all music

Posted by Cal | April 16, 2011 2:13 PM | Reply to this

True, and I cant completely disagree cuz are those are your opinions. :) But at the same time some ppl dont give the other albums a chance, I only listen to like three songs from 1039 smoothed out/slappy hours....but that was cuz it was there first album so I mean everyone couldnt expect it to be like, amazing on there first try but at the same time it wasnt bad, then on kerplunk....I really dont listen to any..but then came dookie and it was a major hit...I love all of then and so did alot of ppl, I still here some of the dookie songs on the radio, LOL and from there to me they only got better...I liten to all of insomnaic, nimrod, and warning.....especially warning :)
But then came American Idiot which to me was the most outspoken, opinionated, album I had ever heard it spoke of the most top politcal views and were spoken out in the most...Awesomest way I can think of, I mean what other way can you tell of what you think and get it out there while get others to listen and understand while.....enjoying it? I love american idiot... it was amazing I enjoy the punk rock music, I like there views on society and there views against the goverment. They are the only band that would put their views out there like that and stand up for them when anyone stands against them. I was amazing when they came out on broad way and billie joe was amazing as the role of st.jimmy ;) But then 21st century breakdown. Breaking down the entire last 11 years and counting...To me green day is more than a hot lead singer and two band mates, or some band, to me they are a band that does much more than singing or acting, they are a band who has fun and enjoys what their doing. :)

Trust me...I dont wanna disagree but even in 2014..even in 2020 they will still be goin and still be a huge success...Success isnt a 1 time thing....and Green Day ( Billie Joe Armstrong ) Has showed that they are in it to win it! They are an amazing punk band that has went through child hood problems to crisis to everyday living. Green Day definitly isnt a one hit wonder...And they will give every thing they got until they are dead!

Ummm, you look here...21st century breakdown was absoulty amazing! And this album will be just as good..if not better, I don't there has been any decline since dookie...i think they have gotten better! If you aint a true green dya fan then just get the f**k off here...theres no point!
