Could you make sure to stick to the new guideline I posted about the other day please:

Hey everyone, I'd like to introduce a new guideline to help keep this thread nice and easy to read through. Which is:

When posting an article please don't just post a link with no description of what it is. Make sure to always include a few words to describe what the article is about and why Green Day is mentioned in it. 

That way when people are browsing through the thread they can easily see which articles sound interesting and choose which ones to click on. I'll be adding this to the OP as well. Thanks!

Obviously most of your posts are fine, you just need to add descriptions to those links :)

Polar’s special handling and time-limited shipments have included horses, cattle, race cars and helicopters across the Atlantic; critically needed supplies to Tsunami victims; and the rock band Green Day’s musical equipment from one tightly scheduled performance in Glasgow to another at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. In addition, Polar provides scheduled service on its aircraft to freight forwarders and other customers. http://airwaysnews.com/blog/2015/08/11/best-of-airways-magazine-atlas-air-cargo-charters-a-different-business-plan/

 

Luke Hemmings also had ideas for the band's third album and whom their dream collaborators would be. He revealed who the group's ultimate collaborators would be. "I think I'd love to collaborate with Green Day, that would be very cool. They're one of our favorite bands." http://www.fashionnstyle.com/articles/70818/20150812/5-sos-reveal-two-tunes-on-shes-kinda-hot-ep-announce-book-of-stuff-for-fans-on-twitter.htm

I feel they're up to something.  #itsaconspiracy Seagull might have picked Billie's brain when he was on coke.

Sorry if this has already been posted, and it might not be anything significant at this stage, but I came across this video a while back, and it looks like the band are getting ready to hit the studio:

(Skip to 3:38 to see what I'm talking about

Is this not big real news? Maybe I get excited too easily :P 

For anyone who has to wait to get home to play the video haha: "We've got a couple of drums here actually for Tre, he's taking these into the studio soon. Mahogany fade on the toms and an iluminum bass drum, which, believe it or not, sounds absolutely unbelievable. Probably the best bass drum I've ever listened to. Despite what you may think, being made out of metal, it sounds absolutely unbelievable. This is one of Tre's snares that he played on the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction video and he send it back to us just to get some stuff tunne up, clean it up a little bit and get it ready to go back out with him. So those will be going out to him real soon". Not sure about the "him real soon", I think that's what he says.

I think nothing has been posted here on GDC about the Oakland A's "Green Day Fireworks Night" on September 5th.

"The Oakland A's are pleased to celebrate Green Day's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fans can enjoy the recorded music of the East Bay natives and long-time A's fans which will be set to the post-game fireworks show. Fans are invited to watch the fireworks from the field, but please note that space is limited". http://www.greenday.com/news/green-day-fireworks-night-7222671 

Do you think the band is going to make an appearance? Play anything? Do a secret show in Kentucky to prepare for a secret show in Oakland so I don't feel I lost all my money going to NiFi in nothing? :P

Anthony Botting was also invited up on stage to play guitar with Green Day. Afterwards, Green Day frontman presented Botting with a Fender Stratocaster guitar, which Botting has hanging on a wall. http://www.niagarathisweek.com/whatson-story/5794885-one-of-the-boys-in-the-band/

Rock and rollers who've made the move to Broadway: Billie Joe Armstrong, "American Idiot": Armstrong co-wrote this loose adaptation of Green Day's 2004 album of the same name, and the band composed the music. The musical ran for a year on Broadway, from 2010-2011, and featured Armstrong filling in for the lead role for eight shows. http://www.amny.com/entertainment/rock-and-roll-musicians-on-broadway-billy-joel-elton-john-bono-and-more-1.10733593

 

An Interview with Fat Mike of NOFX: Punks In Punks’ Clothing. - What was it like to immerse yourself in that Broadway world coming from the punk scene that doesn’t tend to crossover too much with that realm?I don’t know, I just always liked musicals and Rocky Horror changed my life and then Hedwig And The Angry Inch changed my life. And Green Day came out with a musical even though it wasn’t really a musical, it was just a record on stage with some people dancing around and singing. http://www.theaquarian.com/2015/08/12/an-interview-with-fat-mike-of-nofx-punks-in-punks-clothing/

Billie Joe is number 93 of the list, plus Green Day are mentioned when they talk about Taylor Swift (she's born the same year Green Day released their first record).

That was the worst ranking I have ever seen. How is Kanye a better songwriter than Billie? And how is Johnny Cash number 43? And don't even get me started on Bruce Springsteen.

He wrote Backstreets for crying out loud.

I have to agree with you.  This was a horrible list, other than the fact that Billie did make it.  He should have been higher, but at least he is there.  How is Bob Dylan # 1, how is Paul McCartney before John Lennon, etc.  I could go on and on. 

I'm from NJ and agree with you on Springsteen.  But, I do like Johnny Cash.  I don't know that I would put him so high on the list, but I do like him.

Because it's just semi-controversial clickbait shite written by 30 year old white guys trying to be edgy. RS doesn't write anything good anymore so they do at least one of these lists every month to make some ad revenue.

Petra Haden began her career in the early 90s with pop punk band That Dog, and has since toured or as a member of the Decemberists, made appearances on albums by Green Day, Beck, and a couple of Mark Lanegan projects, and gained some notoriety for her a cappella arrangements, including recording the entirety of The Who Sell Out. http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4149286-dis-meets-petra-haden
