New Warped Tour article here: Calendar
Live. Thanks to Anthony from greendaysite.com for that.
Nothing much else... just the link to the 409
Records page.. http://409records.letushostyou.com.
Some news about the new compilation is posted there; go check
it out. That is all.
Green Day rocked the house tonight at around
7 p.m. in Anaheim, in the parking lot of the Pond where the
Anaheim Ducks play. I got there around 4, and NOFX was playing.
Then I think came the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, a few more
crappy bands, then Weezer, MxPx, and finally Green Day. Before
they came on stage, Billie was having fun walking by the door
of the trailer, and the crowd was just fucking loving it.
He had a big grin on his face it was great. Mike came down
out of the trailer for a few minutes, and took some pictures
with some fans, and signed some autographs. They hit the stage,
and played the same songs as the other shows, nothing new.
They opened with Welcome to Paradise, and closed with When
I come around, and a bunch of flames. The only other thing
interesting that I can tell you was, the Green Day booth that
they had set up, was full of brand new t-shirts that I hadn't
seen before even at Cinderblock. They had new logos with the
highway construction sign for "warning" on them,
and some other new ones with funky designs, so make sure to
bring lots of cash to the show near you - Bri
I got word that the first single for the new
album, will in fact be "Warning" and it will be
out September 18th. Less then a month before the October 3rd
album release date.
Also if you wanted to go to the NY Randall's
Island Warped Tour date, but couldn't get tickets, hurry and
e-mail Jessica, because
she has 2 extra tickets.
Green Day and the other bands on the Van's Warped
Tour have pushed their Las Vegas date back from today, until
August 7th. The next date is tomorrow in Ventura.

Check out these cool show reviews from the Warped
Tour: / Nme.com
/ CDnow.com
"This year's big draw is Green Day, the
kings of the sweeter side to angst, and lead vocalist Billie
Joe Armstrong got the crowd singing along to "When I Come
Around" and "Brain Stew/Jaded" with the very first words.
As expected, the popular trio was the apex of the all-day
event as thousands gathered to be a part of it all. One lucky
audience member named Steven joined them on guitar for a song
before performing his first stage dive into the eager crowd.

- New Sonicnet.com Review of Warped Tour: Here
Hey, everyone.. Broc, your "hidden" webmaster
here. I've done a few things with the site. First of all,
there's a new chatroom with more features and stuff up now.
Check it out here.
Secondly, somethin' beneficial to underground
our underground punkrockers. GreenDay.Net, in affiliation
with 409 Records, is putting together a compilation of as
many underground, or not so underground, punk bands as possible
on one CD. If you're interested in this, which I hope you
are, mail [email protected]
and say "Hey, we want to be on the compilation!" From there,
we'll let you know where to send your song and stuff. If you
have the capabilities to record, that's cool, and it'll be
a very easy process. If not, you have the option to come to
409 Records Studio in Jamestown, ND to record, which is a
long drive for most punk bands. Your song can be live or studio
recorded; whichever is cool. I plan to have the compilation
organized and ready for print in three weeks, so please reply
fast! I'll post the URL to 409 Records tommorow; I can't as
of right now.
Also, everyone should give Brian a good "you
kick ass," since he's been doing an excellent job here on
the site, following Warped and all. I'm going to the Minneapolis
show, so anyone who would be interested in "hangin' out,"
e-mail me. And finally, the live archive.. I'm still working
on it. I'm looking for a host that will allow me to post live
Green Day MP3s, and also will be talking with the owners of
this site to see if they'll allow it.. I have around 100 Live
Green Day MP3s ready to go, so we'll see what happens.
That's all for now.
Another early Green Day song, which was never
released has finally hit the net. Thanks to Luis Gomez for
sending this one into us. It's apparently from the "1,039"
days when Al Sobrante was the drummer before Tre Cool. Since
I can't post mp3's on this site but I want you guys to all
hear it, it's on the news area of thefrustrators.com
until I can convert it to Real Audio. Enjoy!
-Green Day hit San Diego last night, and the
set list appears to be similar if not exactly the same as
the night before last. The only addition seems to be Knowledge,
and having a girl come up on stage to play guitar.
- www.warpedtour.com
has been updated, but overall is still a pretty useless web
page. Keep on sending in those show reviews!
New LA Times Interview with Green Day:
Here
Billie Joe: "There's more sense of hope
to this record. For me it was important for this record to
get up at 7 every day with my kids, take them to school, go
home and work with the band and maybe enjoy standing out in
front of a grocery store or something, just being me. I have
a lot more lust for life than I had."
Thanks to Anthony
for letting us know about that.
Thanks to Esteban and Marty for this rough set list from
tonight's Green Day set at the Fresno Warped Tour date:
**Welcome To Paradise, Hitchin' A Ride, Geek
Stink Breath, Brain Stew, Jaded, 2000 Light Years Away, Longview,
She, Basket Case, When I come Around.**
*Keep in mind that is really rough, but they
both agree there were no new songs played tonight. *
According to the guys: "Weezer played on
the same stage at 6:30, then Suicide machines at 7:00 on the
other half of the stage, and then finally green day at 7:30"
The guys told me Green Day stole the show (is
that really a big surprise?) and at the end, went out
with some flames and destruction.
There is also a new interview in Spin Magazine
with Green Day. Check out the guys at www.greendaysite.com

Mike Mirnt's other band the
Frustrators seem to be in a bit of hot water over their
song "The Great Australian Midget Toss" which was played last
night at the LA Lakers game.
-thanks to Lance for sending in this article. I'll try to
get a scan of the newspaper clipping in the next day or so.
Big Win for Lakers angers Little People
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Little People
of America (LPA) organization today expressed outrage over
a song that was played Monday night at the Staples Center
during the Laker's 4-2 series finale. The song - "The Great Australian
Midget Toss" by San Francisco rockers The Frustrators - was blasting
during the 4th quarter run by the Lakers. According to the
band's website,
the inflammatory lyrics include such violent references as
"hate to land them on their face/those little guys are hard
to replace/fetch my nine-dwarf if you please/my eight-dwarf
landed on his knees." LPA Teen Coordinator Casey Hubelbank
claims the song displays "insensitivity" to people who suffer
from Dwarfism. She told reporters Tuesday "It really isn't right.
This sends out the wrong message to short-statured individuals
and their families. [The] fact that the song was used as a
taunt at a major sporting event only makes it worse... We
don't like to throw the word 'boycott' around, but in this
case can you blame us?" Neither the Los Angeles Lakers nor
representatives for the band were available for comment although
the Staples Center said this morning that there was a mix-up
in the booth, and "[that] song was never meant to be aired."

The Warped Tour starts this Friday, so stay
tuned for lots of news. I'll be at 2 of the shows, so at very
least you will all get my reviews, but most likely a ton of
fans will send in their reviews too. Oh yeah, if you go to
the Warped Tour send in details, pictures, and anything you
can!
I added a new section to the menu on the left
that you probably noticed, titled "Related Bands" I'm going
to be working on it a lot this week, putting up lots of info,
pictures and maybe audio clips. For now there are a couple

Sonicnet.com Just published this interview:
here
In it Tre says
"It's broader and wider than anyone else's records, including
probably our own," he said. "It's different than our other
records because you can turn it up louder. You can always
crank Green Day, of course, but I think we've been working
on going past eight or nine on your stereo up to 10, and now
you can play it on 10."

 The
news keeps on coming! MTV has a new interview with Tre Cool
up at Mtv.com. It's on the front page for right now, but who
knows how long that will last, so click
here to go straight to the article and Real audio.
While Green Day hit the studio less than two months ago,
the band has been preparing for "Warning" for the
better part of two years. "Literally, we could play the
album, all our parts, without the other guys there. We know
the songs so well," Tre said. "We practiced for
a long time, like two years. We've been practicing and writing
songs and playing them and playing them and writing new songs
and playing them and playing them and just hanging out at
home with our families and getting together every day, five
days a week, playing. People think we're off in Hawaii kicking
back and sh**, but we're in Oakland playing our jams."
[RealAudio]
While practice has made for an efficient recording process,
it is also making for an album that Tre describes as "fucking
amazing."
Green Day's 6th album is tentatively titled "Warning"
and is set to be released this Fall - October 3rd, 2000.
Seventeen Magazine has some more Warped Tour / Green Day
Info on their new issue, with Christina Aguilera on the cover.

And if you've been curious about the songs Green Day will
play at the Warped Tour, this is from June 8th's Rolling
Stone Magazine:
"Drowning out the whiz of skateboard wheels at the sixth
annual Warped Tour will be the sound of twenty punk bands
- and one hip-hop outfit - cranking through tight half-hour
sets. "There's a punk-rock solidarity going on there,"
says Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt, whose band is making its
Warped Tour debut, joined by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones,
Long Beach Dub Allstars and NOFX, plus such up-and-comers
as the Donnas, Suicide Machines and MXPX.
Green Day haven't toured for two years, and even though
they will have finished a new album by the time Warped starts,
don't expect to hear more than one or two fresh tunes. "I
hate going to see a band that's playing all these rad new
tunes, and you can't even go buy their shit," Dirnt says.
"The other side of it is that this tour is a thank you
to our fans who've been with us over the years. They're buying
tickets to the Green Day they know already." If you're
lucky, you might even catch the band throwing in a favorite
cover, like Elvis Costello's "Alison" or the Who's
"My Generation."
Mighty Might Bosstones frontman Dicky Barrett says his eight-man
ska-rock outfit has toured so insistantly that it can play
any song from its career at the drop of a hat. The Bosstones
mix old stuff with tunes from their new album, Pay Attention,
but no matter what, he predicts, "your're still going
to get a kid coming up to you saying, 'You didn't do my favorite
song!'"
If you're bored with the bands, you can always head to the
half-pipe to watch skateboarding wipeouts. "We were thinking
about making a Green Day skateboard and giving it to the guy
who eats it the hardest every day," says Dirnt. "We'll
bring him onstage, and he can show his nasty scars."

VANS WARPED TOUR
Who: Green Day, Mighty Mighty Bosstones,
Jurassic 5, Long Beach Dub Allstars, The Donnas, MXPX, NOFX,
and more.
When: Late June through August.
Why it's the hot ticket: It's like punk-rock summer
camp! The Warped Tour is the coolest festival of rock/punk
artists (past acts have included Blink-182 and Eminem). For
around $20, you can watch bands all day and catch demos from
extreme athletes.
What to expect: "Loud, fast, fun!" - Dicky
Barrett, lead singer of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Concert-goer's scoop: "I went to see the '99 Warped Tour
in Jacksonville, Florida. It was amazing to see so many different
fans in one place enjoying the same thing. Plus, my ticket
only cost me $20! I didn't get to see too much of the skaters,
but what I saw rocked. They were there just having a great
time, showing off some tricks. The whole vibe was great. It's
not like you have to mosh to have a killer time at Warped--there's
plenty of room to hang back and feel the tunes. There's something
for everyone!" -- Kristyn, 18, Tipp City, OH

Greetings, everyone. To clarify a few things.. the poll above
was placed there by me, not MusicFanClubs. No one "made" me,
or MusicFanClubs post the poll; I did it to see your guys'
opinion. Also, my e-mail inbox at my primary address, [email protected],
is presently full, due to the extreme volume of mail I've
been getting the past few weeks. If you don't receive a reply
as fast as you usually do from me, just give it some time..
I'll get to it. But to contact me from now on for a while,
write to my secondary address at [email protected]. And
PLEASE, don't send comments and suggestions, and complaints
regarding the message board. Post those things on the board,
as myself and the moderators will get to your request. That's
all for now.
Happy 4/20, everyone.. hope you're all havin' fun celebrating.
A new letter from Billie came to Reprise Records on Wednesday,
with some cool news pertaining to a new Green Day website.
Go ahead and check it out
here. Thanks to Trevor
for pointing that out to me.
To clarify things, I posted "Happy 4/20..." today, because
today is a national holiday for all pot smokers. Since Green
Day's name is based on smoking pot, I figured it wouldn't
be fitting to not recognize the holiday FOR THAT. I'm not
a Nazi, I don't support Hitler, and I don't find school shootings
amusing. Thanks.
I guess I violated a copywright when I posted those scans,
so I have to take the article from Alternative Press down..
but the Circulation Department is trying to allow GreenDay.Net
to post some of the article... When I receive more information,
I'll post it.
Buy your copy of
Alternative Press Here. The Green Day issue's release
date is May 4th, so score a copy now.
Here's a link to the exact page where you can preorder
it for $5.00.
I received my advance copy of Associated Press yesterday,
and must say YOU ALL HAVE TO BUY IT. More info is packed into
that five page article than you've heard over the past YEAR.
Mike is engaged to a girl named "Sarah" who works as a part
time waitress at "Mama's Royal Cafe," where the interview
took place. Green Day's new album, tentatively titled "Warning,"
will contain 14 songs, including, but not limited to: Warning,
Fashion Victim, Blood Sex and Booze, Minority, Deadbeat Holiday,
Macy's Day Parade, and Untitled. The magazine features detailed
information about the meanings of the above-named songs, and
tells a lot about the guys' beliefs. I have typed up one of
the articles, which you can view here,
and am going to get the rest of the 5 pages scanned tommorow
over lunch at a friend's house, so expect MASSIVE Green Day
news here, tommorow night, on GreenDay.Net, your official
source for Green Day News.
Many of you have been e-mailing me regarding Ticket prices
and "onsale" dates. Well, the Warped 2000 site updated, and
has some ticket information.
Click here to view the dates/onsale page.
Green Day holds the feature article in next month's "Alternative
Press" magazine. The magazine has sent me a photo of the magazine,
pictured at right. The magazine will hold information on Green
Day's next album, and the Warped Tour 2000. The magazine goes
on sale on May 4th, so make sure and get your copy at Alternative
Press Online. Also, Just a little change with the contest.
The e-mail address [email protected] limits me to 4 MB, so
you need to send me the URL, not the seperate files, of high-quality
Bridge School Concert MP3s.. and DO NOT send me URLs to duplicates
of my own files, which are right around 800k - 1MB each. I
want GOOD quality.
ALERT to EBay users.. the item 300724890, an autographed
full-page magazine ad, is FAKE. This is easily noticable because
the picture of the signature, shows Billie signing his name
as "Billy." Fake? I think so. Check this bogus auction out
here.
I got a little contest, here. The first person to send me
the full Bridge School Benefit Concert in GOOD, Stereo MP3
Quality, will receive a $20 Gift Certificate for the GreenDay.Net
Bootleg shop. E-mail your MP3s to: [email protected].
Files must be received by Sunday night, so send fast!
