Check out the new trailer for Rock Band: Green Day here: Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
Americanidiotonbroadway.com posted a new video, titled "the Story Behind American Idiot" featuring a new interview with Billie Joe: here MTV and Harmonix are also working on a Green Day specific game (called "Green Day: Rock Band" a la the Beatles version introduced last year), which Toffler, at Billboard's Music & Money Symposium, said would likely not have Green Day branded instruments like the Beatles game did. That will affect revenues, as games bundled with instruments generally run around $120 compared to $60 for just the game. More @ Billboard: here Friday, March 5th, 2010
Green Day Fans: Good morning!
I'm a reporter from the New York Daily News who was assigned a feature on mega-Green Day fans excited about the band's upcoming Broadway play, "America Idiot," and plan to attend the show "in costume." I was wondering if you knew any fans from the New York City area who plan to attend the Broadway play "in costume" - meaning wearing punk or grunge style clothes, hair, accessories, etc., or if you'd be willing to post on your site a request for those fans to contact me?
Ideally, we're looking for fans who live in the NYC-area (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, or Long Island) who can be interviewed and photographed in their punk/grunge clothes by mid-week next week.
Thanks for any help you can give!!

Brand-New "21 Guns" EP Now Available
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The video for the new version of Green Day's platinum single "21 Guns," now available from all digital service providers, will premiere on AOL Music on February 1st.
Both the song and video feature the members of Green Day, singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool, recording in the studio with the cast of American Idiot - the critically acclaimed stage version of Green Day's chart-topping 2004 album that completed a record-breaking three-month run at The Berkeley Repertory Theatre and is now moving to Broadway where it opens on April 20th. The video was shot by Doug Hamilton, who lensed all the behind-the-scenes documentary-style footage for the theatrical production.
"21 Guns," originally featured on the band's gold album 21st Century Breakdown, has been newly arranged by Tom Kitt, who is credited with the show's arrangements and musical supervision. The new version was recorded at Green Day's studio in Oakland, CA and produced by Armstrong. Prominently featured on the track are American Idiot cast members John Gallagher, Jr., who won a Tony Award in 2007 for Spring Awakening, Matt Kaplan, Michael Esper, Rebecca Naomi Jones (Passing Strange), Christina Sajous, and Mary Faber. Though the bulk of the songs in the musical are taken from American Idiot, four songs from 21st Century Breakdown, including "21 Guns," are featured in the show.
A brand-new three-song 21 Guns EP, featuring the original version, the new version with the American Idiot cast, and a live version recorded in Japan, is now available for purchase on iTunes.
The digital version of the original "21 Guns" has sold more than one million downloads, while the video won three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in September, including "Best Rock Video." The band took home their second American Music Award for "Favorite Alternative Music Artist" in November. In addition, Green Day have been nominated for three 2010 Grammy® Awards, including two for "21 Guns ("Best Rock Song" and "Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals") and one for 21st Century Breakdown, which was nominated for "Best Rock Album." The band will perform "21 Guns" live with the Broadway cast of American Idiot at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which will air on CBS on Sunday, January 31st at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Press Release:
AMERICAN IDIOT MOVES TO BROADWAY AFTER A RECORD-BREAKING WORLD PREMIERE AT BERKELEY REPERTORY THEATRE MUSIC BY MULTI GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING BAND GREEN DAY LYRICS BY GREEN DAY'S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG BOOK BY BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG & MICHAEL MAYER DIRECTED BY TONY AWARD WINNER MICHAEL MAYER PREVIEW PERFORMANCES BEGIN MARCH 24, 2010
OPENING NIGHT IS APRIL 20, 2010 AT THE ST. JAMES THEATRE Producers Tom Hulce and Ira Pittelman announced today that following the record-breaking and critically acclaimed engagement at Berkeley Rep, the production will begin previews on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 and open on Broadway Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at the St. James Theatre (246 West 44 Street). The Broadway cast will be announced shortly.
Based on the Reprise Records Grammy® Award-winning album of the same name, AMERICAN IDIOT features the music of Green Day and the lyrics of its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. The show is directed by Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), who also collaborated with Armstrong on the book, and choreographed by Olivier Award-winning Steven Hoggett (Blackwatch). The Tony-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) is the music supervisor, orchestrator and music arranger. In addition, Kitt also provided string arrangements for Green Day's latest album 21st Century Breakdown.
"Experiencing American Idiot on stage in Berkeley was incredible," says Billie Joe Armstrong. "We have really enjoyed working with Michael, Steven, Tom and the cast. The energy and chemistry of the group is contagious. Michael Mayer was able to bring life to the characters of American Idiot and Tom Kitt's musical arrangements are breathtaking. We're so proud that the show is coming to Broadway!"
Michael Mayer comments, "Green Day's iconic album is one of the most brutally honest, eloquent, and poetically theatrical responses to the post 9/11 world that I have encountered. I hear in these amazing songs the frustration and anger and dreams of a lost generation of Americans. Collaborating with Billie Joe and the band has been a mind-blowing thrill from day one."
AMERICAN IDIOT follows working-class characters from the suburbs to the city to the Middle East, as they seek redemption in a world filled with frustration - an exhilarating journey borne along by Green Day's electrifying songs. This high-octane show includes every song from the album, as well as several new songs from 21st Century Breakdown. Green Day won two Grammys ®- Best Rock Album and Record of the Year - for its multi-platinum American Idiot, which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Now the band brings this explosive album to the stage with the director of Spring Awakening, which won eight Tony Awards in 2007.
The cast of AMERICAN IDIOT collaborated with Green Day to record a new version of the hit single "21 Guns." Produced by the band's singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, the track was released by Reprise Records on December 22, 2009 for purchase through all digital retailers. "21 Guns" is the second single from Green Day's gold album 21st Century Breakdown. The digital version of the track has gone platinum, selling more than one million downloads, earned 2010 Grammy® Nominations for "Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals" and "Best Rock Song", while the video won three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in September, including "Best Rock Video."
The limited engagement of AMERICAN IDIOT at Berkeley Rep's Roda Theatre began previews on September 4, 2009, opened on September 16, 2009, extended twice and played its final performance on Sunday, November 15, 2009. AMERICAN IDIOT's record breaking run brought in the biggest advance sale in the Theatre's 41-year history, the biggest day at the box office, 17 of the top 20 days ever and due to ticket demand had to announce the first extension before it had played its first performance.
"American Idiot is that rare and tricky creature, a true rock opera," says Charles Isherwood of The New York Times. "Directed with polish and precision by Michael Mayer, American Idiot has its own voice: bitter and melancholy, attuned to an era more doubting than hopeful. Perhaps most strongly - and promisingly? - the show's story of young men on a confused search for themselves during a time of changing social mores and foreign wars recalls Hair, the musical about the make-love-not-war generation. (Both musicals also do most of their storytelling in song.) Mournful as it is about the prospects of 21st-century Americans, the show possesses a stimulating energy and a vision of wasted youth that holds us in its grip."
The show features scenic design by Tony-nominee Christine Jones (Spring Awakening), costume design by Baryshnikov fellow Andrea Lauer (The Butcher of Baraboo), lighting design by two-time Tony-winner Kevin Adams (Hair), Sound design by Obie Award-winner Brian Ronan (Cabaret), as well as video design by Darrel Maloney.
AMERICAN IDIOT will be produced on Broadway in association with Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Friday, January 1st, 2010
