tomdsjames Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 This is actually kind of old now but couldn't see it had been posted previously... On 22nd July 2013, BPI (The British Music Industry) updated their database to update 1,000s of certifications and there were a few Green Day awards updated: Singles - The following were all certified Silver (for sales of 200,000): Basket Case Good Riddance American Idiot Boulevard of Broken Dreams Wake Me Up When September Ends Albums: 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours - certified Gold (100,000 copies) Kerplunk - certified Gold (100,000 copies) Shenanigans - certified silver (60,000 copies) International Superhits - certified 2 x Platinum (600,000 copies). This also gives Green Day their 3rd multi-Platinum album in the UK after Dookie (3x Platinum) and American Idiot (6x Platinum) DVD/Video: International Supervideos - certified Platinum (50,000 copies) Sorry if it's already been posted but couldn't find it and thought it was pretty interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Billie Joe mentioned here: http://www.tv3.ie/entertainment_article.php?locID=1.803.813&article=126398 I'd like to think Billie would be a no-bull-shit kind of judge (not that I would want him to do this), but in reality he's a little too nice and imprecise with his comments to be good at it (as we saw on the Voice). Although he did have a few good no-BS one-liners "She needs to get better. In a hurry." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite interesting. I take it that a single platinum album would be 300,000 copies? If so then that means Dookie sold 900,000 copies and American Idiot sold 1.8 million copies.

angry_robot Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I always laugh when John Roecker starts harrumphing about how he's FINALLY going to release that documentary. Until I have it sitting in front of me, I refuse to believe it's ever going to be released. Yeap, me too. Considering that we already have official confirmation of upcoming early days documentary I highly doubt that HLAHG will be released this year.

Yeah he always says its coming out though. What he really means is, I really want it to come out and I hope Warner will release it! Could be prompted by a real indication that they might release it but there's no way to know if it's for sure it seems. Edit: And I mean Warner/Green Day/whoever owns it who's in the band's camp and isn't him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTim Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Totally. Hopefully it does come out and this year is the best year to do it But seeing how Reprise is doing re issues are weird (Reprise released 2 anniversarys albums Eric Clapton Unplugged 20th and a Stevie Nicks 10th a YEAR after said anniversaries they should have been released in 2012 but Reprise released them mid to late 2013 so who knows if Reprise will keep up that trend this year... the Nicks was kinda bare boned but the Clapton was nicely packaged had great never before seen footage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Warner doesn't own it, Green Day does. I'm pretty sure they do anyway. I feel like I remember reading some interesting piece about how HLAHG was not authorized by Warner and they in fact didn't want John doing it but the band allowed him to do it anyway. I have no idea if I'm pulling that out of my ass or it's something close to the true story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if I'm pulling that out of my ass or it's something close to the true story. That could be true I said Warner cause majority of the time its the label that owns the rights to the bands stuff so I had said WMG just off that Andres is most likely correct that it is GD who owns HLAHG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Heather. Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 I know this is old, but I was rewatching the Rig Rundown that was posted a year ago and noticed that after 5:00 when he's explaining Billie's acoustic guitars, he mentions that the acoustic one we've been seeing him play for the last few years is actually "The Everly Brothers guitar" and that it was designed by the Everly's father! At the time this obviously meant very little to most of us, but looking back it's really amazing and makes everything come full circle. (To be clear, it's not that it belonged to the Everlys, just that it was the same model) Rig Rundown - Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt & Jason White It also means that the guitar that Billie gave to the Everly family at the Grammys, in a weird way, always belonged to them. (At least by design). 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 this guy reviewed the concert at Emirates in June. took him awhile. The concert took place at the Emirates in North London which allowed an audience of monumental proportions to fill it. Tickets were expensive but for the musical assortment I received, it was worth every penny. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/live_concerts/green_day/live_at_the_emirates_london_uk_june_1_2013/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
