Green Day news & updates
May the Fourth be with you Mike!
Forty years ago in a galaxy far far away...Mike Dirnt was born. Which seems fitting for a guy whose religious beliefs are based on Star Wars. So happy birthday to him from GSB, hope it's awesome!
Anybody else have anything to add?
¡UNO!, ¡DOS!, AND ¡TRÉ!
GREEN DAY IN THE STUDIO RECORDING THREE ALBUMS – A TRILOGY ENTITLED ¡UNO!, ¡DOS!, AND ¡TRÉ!
ALBUMS TO BE RELEASED FROM
SEPTEMBER 2012 TO JANUARY 2013
LOS ANGELES, CA – April 11, 2012 – Green Day is currently in the studio recording three albums – a trilogy entitled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! – that will be released by Reprise Records on Tuesday, September 25th 2012; Tuesday, November 13th 2012 and Tuesday, January 15th 2013 respectively. The albums are the follow-up to the Grammy®Award-winning 21st Century Breakdown, and are being produced by the band’s long-time producer Rob Cavallo. ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! are being recorded in their hometown of Oakland, CA.
“We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives. This is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming,” said the members of Green Day. “Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy. Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels. We just can't help ourselves... We are going epic as fuck!"

Lordy Lordy Billie Joe's 40!
