Kerrang! being Kerrang! (last week's issue, dated January 30th):

Pandora comic, from the same issue:

 

 

Ugh what the album will sound like is already being decided based on a throwaway comment about not liking the term pop punk, as I feared. I can hear the complaining about it not being a super heavy hardcore punk album already.

And, it's funny because it's not Green Day's 30th anniversary :P

How Green Day inspired the 1975 singer to become a musician

 

Though his band may only now be leveling up to stadium headlining, the 26-year-old Healy has been playing arenas since he was 13: At a Green Day show, the young’n was selected from the crowd to join the band on bass for a track off of their 2002 Shenanigans compilation. “Mike Dirnt was f**king there,” he recalls excitedly. “I jumped up, and he put his bass on me… 10,000 people in f**king Newcastle Arena!” The experience was life-changing. “It was a defining moment for me. Looking out and thinking, ‘OK, this is awesome,’” Healy rhapsodizes. “I still have the pick.”

This is an article from Ultimate Classic Rock where they analyze the Grammy winners for Best Rock Album from 1995 to the present to see if they think they should have won.  If they don't think they should have won, the say who should have won.  American Idiot is one of the few winners that they agreed with.  Yeah!

This Green Day, twenty one pilots mashup has all the feels

Green Day and twenty one pilots—doesn’t sound like the most cohesive combo, does it? Well, YouTuber ShellacRecord put together the former’s “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and the letter’s “Truce” and created something truly magical. Listen for yourself below and be sure to leave us a comment with your thoughts.

The 25 Best Punk Rock Love Songs

13. “At the Library,” Green Day

Green Day’s had quite the varied career, but twenty years before they were on Broadway, they were at 924 Gilman, bashing out wonderfully-sketched odes to high-school love like this to pogoing East Bay kids. (Now get off our lawn.)

Blink-182 pulled a Green Day and scrapped all initial songs for comeback album

Before Green Day wrote and recorded American Idiot, they had the masters of roughly 20 tracks for an entirely different LP, tentatively titled Cigarettes And Valentines, stolen from a recording studio. Instead of simply re-recording the songs, Green Day decided to scrap them entirely and start over. This is what allowed them to create one of the most iconic albums alternative music has ever seen.

Musicians Inducted Into The Rock Hall Before 50

Billie Joe Armstrong turns 44 today (February 17), and just last year, he and his Green Day bandmates Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt were all inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.  More often than not, many would assume such an honor would be reserved for more…shall we say “senior” musicians, but Green Day aren’t the only young pups to get enshrined in Cleveland.
