Green Day Have a Bunch of Unreleased Stuff

Green Day

Mike Dirnt of Green Day talked with Music Feeds about all the unreleased material the band has stored away:

We have so much stuff, and some of it has morphed into other songs, you know, a song that took 10, 20 years to evolve but started off as a jam or started off as us singing a different lyric to it or whatever. I mean, there’s little opuses in other songs and things like that we’ve done that people have never heard.

And:

I don’t know when they’ll see the light of day, but me and Billie always said ‘at some point everything comes out in the wash.’ So, you know, at some point it’ll all come out. We’re not in any hurry to do that because this band has never really been in the business of looking backwards. Maybe some day when we’re older, then we’ll look back.

A Backstage Conversation With Green Day

Green Day sat down with Rolling Stone:

Yeah. If you look at our career, there’s almost like before American Idiot and after American Idiot. Yeah, we play new stuff. We play stuff off American Idiot. It’s hard to explain from my perspective because sometimes I’ll just start saying to myself, “Look how unique this is. You’re able to play in front of 14,000 people and everyone is singing along. Everyone’s hands are in the air.” We play a song like “Holiday” and its like a flock of birds or something.

Unreleased Green Day Instrumental Surfaces

Green Day Authority has posted up an unreleased Green Day instrumental from the band’s documentary.

This little surprise was hidden away in a bonus chapter on ¡Cuatro!, the band’s 2013 “rockumentary” movie that chronicled the recording process of the ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! trilogy albums. The song is unofficially titled “That Just Happened” after the scene that contained it.
