BURBANK, Calif. - (Business Wire) Multi-platinum rock band Green Day globally premiere a brand-new version of their platinum-selling single -21 Guns- on http://www.spinner.com/aolmusic on Thursday, December 3rd. The song will ship to all radio formats on Friday, December 4th. This new version of the track features the band performing with the cast of American Idiot - the critically acclaimed stage version of Green Day's chart-topping 2004 album that just completed a record-breaking three-month run at The Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Newly arranged by Tom Kitt, who is credited with the show's arrangements and musical supervision, recorded at Green Day's studio in Oakland, CA, and produced by singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong. It will be available for purchase from all digital service providers on December 22nd. Prominently featured on the track are American Idiot cast members John Gallagher, Jr., who won a Tony Award in 2007 for Spring Awakening, Matt Kaplan, Michael Esper, Rebecca Naomi Jones (Passing Strange), Christina Sajous, and Mary Faber. Though the bulk of the songs in the musical are taken from American Idiot, four songs from the band's current gold album 21st Century Breakdown, including -21 Guns,- are featured in the show. -We wanted to record '21 Guns' because it represents a pivotal moment in the show when the lead character, sung by John Gallagher, Jr., realizes he needs to get his stuff together,- says Armstrong, who collaborated on the story for American Idiot with Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening). -After the show wrapped, we headed straight to Oakland with the cast to record, and they sung the hell out of it. I couldn't be happier. It's great to have something out there for people to hear who didn't get to see the show.- Green Day, which also includes bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool, had cameras rolling in the studio while they recorded the track and plan to release an accompanying video. More details on that will follow shortly. -21 Guns- is the second single from Green Day's gold album 21st Century Breakdown. The digital version of the track has sold more than one million downloads, while the video won three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in September, including -Best Rock Video.- The band recently completed a sold-out European tour and took home their second American Music Award for -Favorite Alternative Music Artist- in November. They will perform on NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly on December 31st. The band is currently on tour in Australia and New Zealand.

Green Day A performance by Green Day is not just a concert, it's a theatrical masterpiece. Filled with costume changes, pyrotechnics and crowd-pleasing interactions, Billie Joe Armstrong and the boys really know how to put on a show. Opening with the latest album's self-titled hit, 21st Century Breakdown, the explosive beginning was merely the start of things to come. Sporting a new bleached hairstyle, Billie Joe soon got the blood pumping with a stream of powerhouse tunes from the new album before taking the crowd effortlessly into an extensive back catalogue of mega hits, such as Basket Case and Brain Stew. Playing up to the audience is a joy for these performers their interaction and on-stage capers are a big part of the appeal. As the punk rock trio experimented with feather boas, police costumes and drag outfits, audience members were soon in on the act, as one lucky man was invited to sing Longview live on stage to the envy of everyone watching. There was also a nod to the venue's location, with the band belting out Black Sabbath's Paranoid. Other well chosen covers included Teenage Kicks by The Undertones, AC/DC's Highway to Hell and, ahem, Lulu's Shout, which shouldn't have worked but most certainly did. Billie Joe clearly relishes his role of frontman, getting the capacity crowd whipped up into a frenzy by a simple prop or snippet of a much-loved guitar riff. The band's obvious musical virtuosity is never overshadowed by high jinks, as Billie Joe's solo encore proved, with lighters, cameras and mobile phones thrust into the air to stirring renditions of Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) and the suitably poignant When September Ends.

Monday, September 21st, 2009  GREEN DAY'S SELL OUT UK TOUR ACCOMPANIED BY SHOREDITCH ART EXHIBITION 21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN 22 October - 1 November 2009 Internationally renowned band, Green Day has commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by music from the band's most recent album release, 21st Century Breakdown. The paintings will be shown exclusively at the StolenSpace Gallery in Shoreditch, East London from 22nd of October until 1st of November to coincide with Green Day's sold out UK concert tour and opening the day before the band's two sold-out performances at the O2 Arena in London. The band, who have sold over 60 million albums world-wide, feel that art and music share a common bond. "We're really excited to be associated with this incredible show," Green Day front-man Billie Joe Armstrong said. "Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. We feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression; we think the fans coming out will love it." The show's curator, artist, Logan Hicks, said that the gallery will feature contributions from an international pool of artisans, such as world renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, British illustrator Will Barras along with artists Eelus, Chris Stain, Sixten, Adam 5100 and more. Each of the collaborating artists were each sent through a lyric sheet and asked to produce a piece of art that reflected that song, to highlight the connection between music and art. "I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music," said Hicks, a stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. "Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist. "Their subject matter is struggle and injustice -- they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon." A number of the participating artists were featured with Hicks in Banksy's "Cans Festival" which took place last year in an abandoned taxi tunnel behind Waterloo Station and attracted over 120,000 people on opening weekend.

Friday July 24th, 2009 GREEN DAY US TOUR TO FEATURE A ROVING GALLERY SHOWArtists Such as Ron English, The London Police, and C215 Created Work Inspired by Each Track on Band's Latest Album 21st Century Breakdown BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Day have a special treat in store for fans attending their U.S. tour this summer. A roving art gallery will be set up at each venue to display work by a collection of eclectic artists from around the world, each of whom has been asked to create an original piece inspired by a track on Green Day's new album 21st Century Breakdown. The show is curated by New York-based stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan Logan Hicks, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. A passionate art and music lover, Hicks has assembled an impressive group of noted artists - including world-renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, and British illustrator Will Barras - to show the connection between music and art. "I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music," Hicks says. "Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist. Their subject matter is struggle and injustice-they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon." "We are really excited to be touring with this incredible show," says Armstrong. "Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. Many of the artists Logan has chosen show their work on the street, and we feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression. We think the fans coming out to see us on the road will love it." Green Day's 2009 trek is the band's first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years. The tour began July 3rd at Seattle's Key Arena and will cross North America through the summer, including a July 27th stop at New York City's Madison Square Garden before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th.

Press Release: Burbank, CA - Reprise Records' Green Day launched their North American tour with a bang over the holiday weekend with shows in Seattle on July 3rd and Vancouver on July 4th and the rave reviews are pouring in. Take a look at what critics are saying about the first two shows on the multi-platinum band's first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years. Rolling Stone: "as if releasing a wave of energy that had been building up during their four-year hiatus from touring, Green Day poured all their heart and soul into a powerhouse two-hour set." SPIN: "The band's relationship with its audience is disarmingly real, a cross-generational give-and-take that's as punk as any Gilman Street scroungers today." Seattle Times: "There are few bands that can hold an audience from the front of the stage to the bleeders the way Green Day can." Seattle Weekly: "Green Day is clearly a band intent on giving people their money's worth and thoroughly enjoying themselves in the process, which are ultimately the most important ingredients for a satisfying arena rock show." The Province: "Full points to the production values on this baby. Constant 'statement' visual montages played across the giant rear screen all night. A never-ending array of drum-triggered strobes and follow spots galore did exactly what good stage design should: It made everything epic." Vancouver Sun: "This reviewer's throat felt like grated up mozzarella by the end of that final encore, it was worth every single holler. Every single yelp and whistle. Every ear-splitting minute of it. It was an awesome Independence Day show, f-bombs, fireworks, punk 'tude, anthems and all." Green Day, which is singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool, are touring in support of their eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown, which has recently been certified gold by the R.I.A.A. Produced by Butch Vig, 21st Century Breakdown was released by Reprise Records on May 15th, 2009, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts. The album, which has already spawned the Alternative radio hit singles "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns," also topped the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan. Green Day's tour will cross North America through the summer, including a stop July 27th and 28th at New York City's Madison Square Garden, before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th.

You are also entered to win a trip to attend the event LIVE!BIG NEWS From IdiotClub.com: MTV GAMES, HARMONIX AND WARNER BROS. / REPRISE RECORDS PARTNER WITH GREEN DAY TO BRING THEIR MUSIC EXCLUSIVELY TO ROCK BAND® First Green Day DLC Three Pack To Include 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, East Jesus Nowhere From 21st Century Breakdown on July 7th New York, NY - June 11, 2009 - MTV Games' Harmonix Music Systems, a part of Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), the leading developer of music-based games, announced an extraordinary partnership with Warner Bros. Records and Green Day today to bring the music of multi-platinum, Grammy® Award winning Green Day, exclusively to Rock Band ®. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool are the latest artists to bring songs from their impressive catalogue of hits to MTV's genre defining, multi-million selling Rock Band® music video game platform that allows music fans and gamers to interact with and discover music like never before by choosing guitar, drums, vocals, or bass to start a band and rock the world. The first selection of Green Day songs to arrive on Rock Band as downloadable content will be a three-pack of songs from their latest release, 21st Century Breakdown on July 7th including: 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, East Jesus Nowhere. Additional Green Day songs and projects will be announced at a later date. "Green Day not only rock hard, but are also epic storytellers," said Van Toffler, President, MTV Networks, Music, LOGO and Film. "Their message and their music have been the voice and sound of this generation. The addition of Green Day is a huge victory for MTV and our audience, and marks another landmark in our efforts to bring the best artists to Rock Band." "We are excited to be working with MTV and Harmonix," said Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. "They are leaders and visionaries in the world of music and video games, and Rock Band is a really cool way for fans of all ages to experience our music." "Green Day's epic music and incredible live performances put them in a class by themselves. Bringing Green Day and Rock Band together unites two extremely powerful forces to create a great music game experience for their fans," said Tom Whalley, Chairman/CEO, Warner Bros. Records. "This unique deal with MTV creates a true partnership with Green Day, Reprise and Harmonix as we embark upon the next great era of Green Day." "It's awesome that one of greatest bands on earth is coming to the Rock Band platform," said Paul DeGooyer, SVP, Electronic Games and Music, MTV. "Green Day is a longtime favorite of the Harmonix team, and we're very excited to provide a new way for their fans to connect with them, while at the same time helping put this incredible music in front of a whole new audience." Selling nearly 50 million records worldwide, Green Day has won critical acclaim and numerous accolades including three Grammy® Awards for Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for their smash hit "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Green Day recently released their eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, on Warner Music Group's Reprise Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts, fueled by the Alternative radio No. 1 single "Know Your Enemy." 21st Century Breakdown, which Rolling Stone has called "a rock opera in which the rock always comes first," is also a hit around the world topping the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan. Green Day - vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool - were three kids from working-class backgrounds who came of age in the underground punk scene in Berkeley, California. Even though they had released two records prior (1039 / Smooth Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk), they announced their arrival with 1994's Dookie, a blast of punk-pop that spoke to bored teenagers everywhere. The album eventually sold 15 million copies worldwide, earned the band their first Grammy Award and inspired a raft of imitators. Over the years, Green Day continued to top the charts with their subsequent studio albums Insomniac, Nimrod, and Warning while entertaining millions of fans with their frenetic live shows. But it was their landmark 2004 album American Idiot that launched Green Day into the stratosphere. An artistic leap forward, American Idiot is a punk rock opera and sarcastic middle-finger salute to the Administration that captured the cultural and political landscape at that time. "Jesus of Suburbia" set the tone by telling a tale of choosing between self-destruction and redemption that resonated with listeners of all ages, nationalities, and political persuasions. American Idiot debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart and went on to sell more than five million copies in the U.S. and 12 million worldwide. It spawned five hit singles, earned seven Grammy nominations (winning two including Rock Album of the Year) and raised the bar for modern rock and roll. Originally launched on November 20, 2007, Rock Band is the ground-breaking, billion dollar selling franchise1 and music video game leader in paid song sales (over 45 million paid individual songs) and downloadable content with more than 700 tracks available to date via disc and download purchase (complete list of tracks at www.rockband.com/music). Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are available for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system, PlayStation 2 system and Wii.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 Posted by Russ Frushtick on 6/10/09 at 12:21 pm.Harmonix and MTV Games showed off "The Beatles: Rock Band" in MTV's Times Square headquarters yesterday, and we thought it would make for a good opportunity to ask about the the oft-rumored, basically-confirmed-but-not-quite release of "Green Day: Rock Band." Watch John Drake, a spokesman for Harmonix, deftly dodge the question, but it's pretty obvious that we'll be hearing about the game very soon.
Green Day's "Bullet in a Bible" is a video documentary of the band playing its biggest live shows, in front of more than 130,000 people over two nights at the Milton Keynes Bowl in the U.K. in June 2005. Live performances of hits including "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" feature alongside exclusive backstage footage of the band. The release follows 2005's CD/DVD set of the same name. @ Billboard: here

7/3 - Seattle, WA - Key Arena GREEN DAY LAUNCH FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR IN FOUR YEARS MULTI-PLATINUM BAND HIT THE ROAD IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM, 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN, TO BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE ON FRIDAY, MAY 15TH, 2009 Burbank, CA - Reprise Records' Grammy® Award-winning rock band Green Day will hit the road for their first European tour since 2005 beginning on September 28th, 2009, in Lisbon, Portugal. The tour, which launches after the band complete the first leg of their North American tour in August, will criss-cross Europe through the fall and finish up with a show in Turin, Italy, on November 12th. Green Day are touring in support of their long-awaited eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown, which will be released globally by Reprise Records on Friday, May 15th, 2009. Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool have been at work writing, arranging, and recording 21st Century Breakdown since early 2006 with producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). The first single, "Know Your Enemy" was released globally to radio and digital retailers on April 16th. The video premiered globally, including on MTV and VH1's international channels, on April 24th. Green Day recently performed 21st Century Breakdown in its entirety during a series of warm-up club shows for hometown fans in California's Bay Area. In its review of a show at Oakland's Fox Theater, U.S. magazine Rolling Stone commented that the band, augmented by guitarists Jason White and Jeff Matika, and keyboardist Jason Freese, had the "Quadrophenia-like hang of 21st Century Breakdown 's classic rock melodies and lifetime-punk drive down solid" and that the album is "rock opera in which the rock always comes first." "21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's best album," the reviewer concluded, "and at the Fox, they proved that the rock opera can be as punk as a Clash 45." 21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's first studio album since 2004's two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which went to No. 1 in nine countries (including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Australia), spent six weeks atop the European chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.

Billie Joe Armstrong: Although Green Day’s Armstrong didn’t start out on a Les Paul, these days you can see him sporting his own signature edition of the Les Paul Junior. However don’t let the diminutive nature of Armstrong’s axe convince you that his tone is any less aggressive than his peers, because listening to the band’s opus American Idiot, it’s clear that the exact opposite is true. Green Day’s next album will reportedly be out next summer and we can’t wait to see what Armstrong is able to pull off with a little help from his Les Paul Jr. More @ Gibson.com: here.
