3 – Green Day

So Green Day has been booked to open the World Cup of Hockey.

As far as the NHL’s tendency to book bands that haven’t been relevant in a while, this one tracks pretty well. Green Day has a new record coming out this year, but really only released five things in the previous 12 years, only one of which anyone really cared about (American Idiot, from 2004, was very cared-about), and the less said about the triple-album release in 2012, the better.

And while I’m not sure how a band that started in 1986 and has sold 75 million records can release anything 30 years later called “Revolution Radio,” I gotta say I can’t rip this band too hard.

Yeah, we’re gonna have to sit through whatever boring single they’re promoting with the new record, but man, what if they also play “Welcome to Paradise” and “Brain Stew?” That would be cool to all the 30-whatever-year-olds in the crowd.

Were it not for Dookie, many cool people would not be as cool as they are today, so trashing Green Day too hard should be strictly verboten. That album was a gateway drug in a way few albums of that era were. The same can be said for Metallica, who haven’t put out a good album since …And Justice For All (and that album will be 30 in less than two years!). Can’t dog on ’em. The early stuff is just too good.

So shout out to the NHL, for booking a band I actually kinda like. And shout out to Green Day, for putting out an album that changed my life when I was 11 and Alex Galchenyuk was still a week and a half from being alive.

The second renaissance of pop punk

t’s hard to believe that some bands have been making music from the time I was a baby, throughout my entire childhood, into my angsty teen years, and now into my somewhat-angsty 20s. When I think of bands like Blink-182, Green Day and Weezer and how they have been performing for over 20 years, I wonder: Why all of a sudden have they all decided to reemerge onto “the scene?”

Green Day announces scaled-down tour in support of Revolution Radio

Starting later this month, Green Day will pair its mostly concept-free new album with a tour of intimate venues throughout North America. The band announced the release of its 12th studio album, Revolution Radio, back in August. It might not be a rock opera, but Revolution Radio’s still poised to be pretty political, if the first single “Bang Bang” is anything to go on. Frontman Billy Joe Armstrong [:mad:] told Rolling Stone the song was inspired by mass shootings in this country, while the album was sparked by protests in Ferguson in the wake of Michael Brown’s death. The album is set to drop October 7, and the supporting tour kicks off September 20 in St. Louis, Missouri. The album is already available for preorder, and “Idiot Nation” constituents can purchase tickets on September 7, two days before the general sale.

Green Day got a full page advert for the upcoming tour in my local newspaper. It's pretty sweet.

I think it's just that there's nothing for sale in the UK store this last year or so?

Any sign of the "Bang Bang" video surfacing ?

Probably next week. Given that the tour starts Tuesday the 20th, they'll want to give us something to bridge next week.

I don't think I realized how friendly Rachael Ray was with the band until this week, lol.

Mike and Brit traveled to Italy with Rachael and her husband a while back. They instagrammed a bit of it during their trip.
