Opinion: European Tour Recap: Week 4 & 5

26 Oct 2009 04:43:12 PDT

Herald.ie posted their review of Green Day's show in Dublin. Over the course of two and a half hours, the true star of the show was Billie Joe -- Green Day's very own peroxide-decorated Bono. He's small, he's funny looking, but he's also one cool son of a gun.

Opinion: European Tour Recap: Week 2

04 Oct 2009 17:04:08 PDT

Following an entry with pieces from the new album, the concert managed to recover some classical themes, including songs such as Basket Case, She and King for a Day. The power of sound was driven by the voice of Billie Joe and a rhythm section that worked like a steamroller.

Here's a quote from the Seattle Times review: With nearly two decades of music under their belt, the trio knows what it's doing, and they incorporated all the elements of a stellar show. The always charismatic lead singer Armstrong asked the audience to sing along, call back and even join h...

12 May 2009 17:59:12 PDT

The trio — vocalist-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool — went from being the pop-punk band that many wished would return to its roots and release another album as much fun as the 1994 major-label debut "Dookie," to ...

Opinion: Emotional Rollercoaster?

09 Apr 2009 22:02:38 PDT

Written by Delfina
All the recent excitement is pretty great, but it’s also a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for us poor, huddled fans. It’s wonderful that Green Day want to connect to the fans in a close and personal way, and I have to commend them for having invented ways to accomplish that over and over, wi...

Opinion: The Political Influence of American Idiot

Written by Delfina
With politics and the elections at the forefront of public debate, several articles have come out in recent days on political music. I thought these two, that include thoughts on Green Day’s American Idiot, were especially good. But the best thought of all from the article is that “if Georg...

The San Francisco Bay Guardian has a new review of Pinhead Gunpowder's show at 924 Gilman St. on Feb. 10:Armstrong stood out from the rest of the punk vocalists. His famously raucous showmanship transferred flawlessly from the arena to this smaller space. Without spotlights and pyrotechni...

Music Review: Nothington - All In

28 May 2007 04:16:38 PDT

Written by Gray Hunter
The music itself is unique. The punk rock element is certainly there. Yet, underneath it is a southern blues rock element, like an angry Lynyrd Skynyrd or .38 Special. Like the vocals, the guitar has a rough surface to it. Even the acoustic sections sound abrasive. The drummer, Gabe Lindman, pla...

Opinion: The Network: Money Money 2020

Written by ericgu
There are Green Day touches all over the album. With the exception of a few overlaid synths, "Spike" is a fairly typical Green Day song. "Roshambo" is also a very typical Green Day arrangement, though the instruments are not. And songs like "Spastic Society" are much more in the Devo realm.

Review: American Idiot

06 Oct 2004 09:59:00 PDT

Written by ericgu
But it may not be the Green Day that you're used to hearing, and, while I'm not really sure where the boundaries of "punk" are, I don't think I'd use that label. "American Idiot" is similar to "Minority" off of Warning, and "Letterbomb" sounds like many other Green day tunes. Don't get me wrong...
