WorryRock02 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 http://www.kerrang.com/32858/new-found-glory-get-set-reading-leeds-2015/ My best festival memory is… “Watching Green Day play the Main Stage last time we performed at Reading and Leeds (in 2013). We’ve been lucky enough to tour with Green Day a few times, and besides being one of our favorite bands of all-time, they happen to be one of the biggest bands of all-time, too! It was great to see them absolutely kill it in front of tens of thousands of kids, and it was also amazing to experience them playing Dookie all the way through!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Florence Welch Is the First British Woman To Headline Glastonbury Since 1999, But She's Been Influencing These 7 Celebs for Years 5. Green Day Green Day are such fans of Welch that they invited her onstage to perform with them. Welch later recalled the event to Rolling Stone, saying, “I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies – I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. Dookie was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of Nimrod and he’d heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.” http://www.bustle.com/articles/91659-florence-welch-is-the-first-british-woman-to-headline-glastonbury-since-1999-but-shes-been-influencing Axing a third of Rock Hall nominating panel imperils those who created rock (commentary) "I don't begrudge things that relate to contemporary stuff because it relates to things before,'' said one dismissed committee member.

Like, when Green Day came back with "American Idiot." A: (Hesitates) Yeah. Kind of. Obviously, in the period between "Dookie" and "American Idiot," there was a perception shift just because their fans aged, changed, were looking for different stuff, whatever. But yeah, they got to have that second charge. And it was great. http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/music/2015/06/23/nickelback-interview-mike-kroeger-haters-obama/29169693/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorryRock02 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 10 Musicians that you may not have known play for the same team or both Billie Joe Armstrong Yes, the lead vocalist of multiple Grammy Award winning American punk rock band Green Day, swings both ways. In an interview with The Advocate in 1995, Armstrong said that he thought he had always been bisexual. Referring to the band’s 1994 record ‘Dookie’ and its track ‘Coming Clean’, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Armstrong said that the record touches on bisexuality a lot. It was a song about Armstrong questioning himself. He said that people are acting out what they are feeling: gay, bisexual or transgender, and that opens up something in society that becomes more acceptable. http://www.radioandmusic.com/entertainment/editorial/features/10-musicians-you-may-not-have-known-play-same-team-or-both-150623 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
