If you are in any doubt that you’ll love this, don’t worry. For those who didn’t like the cover, wait til you see the whole book, it fits. Great pics, quite a few new to me and some for fans to geek out about - not going to spoil anything but hope you all love it. Really want the printed one now! I love it too and i think the cover is hot. The book captures the fact that they are nuts but in a good way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Is it ok now to say I love Billie’s intro, how totally Billie and GD it is and I love how they reproduced it, Bob really gets them. I also love the variety to their comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I meant to share this earlier, but I actually got a copy of the book for review: https://genreisdead.com/review-green-day-book-bob-gruen/ Also have an interview with Bob Gruen in works 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**nobodylikesyou** Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I thought the book was ok. Not as good as I had expected. Most of the pics have been seen before. Most of the pics were from 2009/2010 era For band that has been around for almost 3 decades, I just thought there would be more variety.... Still enjoyed it.

It was limited by the amount of contacts Bob had with the band. He was only at a handful of shows and events outside of that 2009-2010 period. It’s all the work of one photographer. That said I had wished he had gotten better pics from the 1994 MSG after party and the Hall of Fame induction since he clearly was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I wish there had been more new Foxies pics. The great majority in there were ones we've seen before. I also found it weird that he mentioned Jason, Jason, Jeff, and even Ronnie Blake, but didn't mention Kevin in the chapter on the FBHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right? it was marketed like lots of never before seen pics from different eras and it just wasn't😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I got my book! I'm so happy! I've only had time to read the first few pages and the adorably handwritten introduction so far, but I'm looking forward to going through more of it tomorrow.

Yeah that is strange. Also Kurt who was them for many years, wasn't mentioned at all either. And he said Bob took plenty of pics of them when he was with them for 5+ years.

Goofygoldfish Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Mine has arrived - I used work address as I'm there 5 days, and home 2, thought this was best chance of not having to go and collect it at some depot somewhere...you guessed it - I was at home, and can't get it until Monday, next week is sure going to be full of fun!!!
