This comes out September 10! https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/green-day_9781419734809/ Celebrating 25 years of Green Day, from renowned photographer Bob Gruen It’s been 25 years since the breakthrough album Dookie put punk rock pioneers Green Day on the musical map, and renowned photographer Bob Gruen has been taking photos of the band ever since. Green Day includes behind-the-scenes photos as well as concert images from their international tours, many of which are previously unpublished—along with photos from their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2015 and the band’s 2009 hit Broadway play American Idiot (the soundtrack of which won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album). The book has the full support of the band, with quotes and commentary from Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool, and Mike Dirnt throughout. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Bob Gruen is one of the most famous rock-and-roll photographers of all time. For almost 50 years his images have appeared worldwide in every form—from T-shirts to postage stamps. He is the author of John Lennon: The New York Years, Rock Seen, and New York Dolls. He lives in New York City.

pacejunkie punk Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 It’s the “quotes and commentary throughout” from the band that I’m interested in. I love when they tell stories we haven’t heard. Hopefully there will be some good ones to go with the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PursuitOfEpicness Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 When I first glimpsed at it I thought it was a fan made book by a 12 year old. Sorry Bob! It's the font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Amazon can sometimes be funny with their release dates. With the Turn It Around dvd I ended up cancelling my order because they kept delaying the ship date when 1234Go! Records had it already. But books are the one thing amazon does well so hopefully when they say Aug 27 they mean it. I have noticed even though my pre-order is guaranteed at the lowest price (which at one point was $16.50 so that’s what I’m being charged when it ships) the price on the book if you look it up now is back to the full retail of $24.99. I’ve never seen the price go back up like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
