Spike Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 21 Guns played at number 5 in Ultimate Guitar's reader poll of the Top 10 Most Hated Songs In Rock. It's officially more hated by this stereotypically metal-biased community than Limp Bizkit's Nookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Number 1 today in 2004: Eric Prydz beats Girls Aloud and Green Day to the top Green Day were celebrating their tenth year of chart success in the UK and, after a three-year absence from the Official Singles Chart, hopes were high for anarchic single American Idiot, which had created new buzz around the band, the likes of which probably hadn’t been seen since 1998 hit Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). http://www.officialcharts.com/features/number-1-today-in-2004-eric-prydz-beats-girls-aloud-and-green-day-to-the-top-3138/ 10 Surprise Moments From iHeartRadio Music Festival No one expected Billie Joe Armstrong to unleash an expletive-filled rant during the 2012 fest. Upset that Green Day's set was apparently being cut 20 minutes short, the singer told the festival it was "a f*cking joke." He proceeded to smash his guitar in half, telling the crowd, "I'm not f*cking Justin Bieber!" Less than 24 hours later, Green Day apologized for the meltdown, said their set "was not cut short by Clear Channel" and announced Armstrong was headed to a treatment center for substance abuse. http://www.fuse.tv/2014/09/iheartradio-music-festival-surprise-moments#2 Rock Stars’ Kids Who Rock: Frank Zappa, Billy Joe Armstrong + More http://diffuser.fm/rock-stars-kids-photo-gallery/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 New Orleans Saints tweak Superdome soundtrack's mix of rock, rap, country and Fats Domino Another contemporary tradition is "The Saints Are Coming," the old punk rock anthem that Green Day and U2 memorably covered during the "Dome-coming," the first game in the renovated Superdome following Hurricane Katrina. It remains in the mix. http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2014/09/new_orleans_saints_tweak_super.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Heather. Posted September 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2014 There's a big article in Rolling Stone this week about The Replacements including a small picture of Billie Joe with Paul at Coachella and this quote: He played lounging on a couch onstage with longtime fan Armstrong adding vocals and a third guitar. "He kept saying it was a dream come true and all of that," says Westerberg. "We were glad to have him around." (Armstrong stayed with the Replacements for the next few shows, and suggested working together in the future.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the writing was on the wall two years earlier—at least for those who had sampled the ready-for-radio songs off the group’s previous record,Kerplunk. One of the album’s catchiest tunes is “2,000 Light Years Away,” in which frontman Billie Joe Armstrong laments the absence of some unnamed woman while his bandmates supply a typically infectious blast of pop-punk. The title refers to the distance, not time, separating Armstrong from his beloved, who laughs somewhere in the distance as he sits alone in his bedroom “staring at the wall.” The girl’s voice must really carry, because 2,000 light years translates to a few trillion miles. Any sensible teenage sad sack would move on from this universe-traversing heartbreaker, but the upbeat melody suggests maybe Armstrong is holding out hope for a reunion—or worse still, contemplating a really long-distance relationship. http://www.avclub.com/article/how-far-would-you-travel-love-14-songs-go-distance-207823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give_Me_Novacaine90 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 K!’S 50 GREATEST ROCKSTARS IN THE WORLD 2014 21. BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG, GREEN DAY LAST YEAR: 16 Billie Joe is such a huge rockstar that he could spend 364 days of the year doing absolutely nothing and do one thing on one day that would blow all other bands in the world out of the water. Green Day are having a bit of a break following a manic schedule that saw them headline the Emirates Stadium and Reading & Leeds last year, but the ongoing possibility of a film based on the Broadway musical of American Idiot (American Idiot: The Movie Of The Musical Of The Album), in which Billie Joe would play St Jimmy, and his always-interesting side-projects (did anyone else on this list quietly release an album of Everly Brothers covers with Norah Jones?) mean there’s a limit to how far Billie Joe’s ever going to be from the top. http://www.kerrang.com/17847/50-greatest-rockstars-world-today/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Geez, the writer obviously knows nothing about this song or its subjects. And didn't even listen to the song by the sound of it! Even if you knew nothing about the background there's nothing that even hints about the girl being a "heartbreaker" or "laughing" at him in the lyrics, the writer just invented it.
