A Backstage Conversation With Green Day

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.

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.
