Green Day - Whatsername

Thought I ran into you down on the street,
Then it turned out to only be a dream,
I made a point to burn all of the photographs,
She went away and then I took a different path,
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name,
Now I wonder how whatshername has been...

Seems that she disappeared without a trace,
Did she ever marry ole whatshisface,
I made a point to burn all of the photographs,
She went away and then I took a different path,
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name,
Now I wonder how whatshername has been...

Remember, whatever,
It seems like forever ago!
Remember, whatever,
It seems like forever ago!
The regrets are useless,
In my mind,
She's in my head,
I must confess!
The regrets are useless,
In my mind,
She's in my head,
From so long ago!
(Go... go... go... go...)
(Go... go... go... go... go...)
Remember in the darkest night,
If my memory serves me right,
I'll never turn back time!
Forgetting you, but not the time!

'We're talking to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters for 2012' says Sonisphere organiser

Sonisphere organiser Stuart Galbraith has said that the festival are in talks with both Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as a host of other acts, for headlliners of next year's event.

Speaking at the official festival press conference, he also confirmed that the festival would be running over the weekend of July 6-8 in 2012 and that tickets for next year's event would be going on sale on Wednesday (July 13), with prices capped at this year's rates for a limited number of tickets.

Asked if he would consider booking either Foo Fighters or Red Hot Chili Peppers for 2012, he said: "They're both two that we're talking to, amongst a whole list of others. I also think we could have Green Day and Blink-182 here, but none of those are confirmed."

Galbraith also said that he had no intention of increasing the festival's capacity, despite this year's sell out and Knebworth having hosted gigs with capacities of over 125,000 people in the past. He said: "Sonisphere at Knebworth is 60,000 capacity and our current intention is that it will stay like that for the foreseeable future, we're not looking for it to become a mega festival. We're not looking to create a 100,000 capacity festival."

Green Day - Holiday

Say, hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)
(Say, hey!)

(3,4)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

Tom Hanks producing Green Day "American Idiot" movie

Green Day's 2004 album 'American Idiot' has been given the green light to be adapted into a full-length movie.

Reuters is reporting that Univsersal have officially hired Tom Hanks to produce the forthcoming adaptation in collaboration with Green Day themselves.

As previously reported, the band and their label had been in negotiations about a possible big-screen adaptation, following the success of the 'American Idiot' Broadway musical, directed by Michael Mayer.

Online reports confirm that Mayer will once again be in the director's chair for the movie, and that the team are in talks with 'Milk' writer Dustin Lance Black to pen the screenplay.

Gigs you should have been at - Green Day live @ Milton Keynes Bowl 2005

Green Day played in 2005 two gigs at the Milton Keynes Bowl, in England, where they played to a crowd of 65.000 people, each night.

After the release of "American Idiot", Green Day started rising again, just like when they released "Dookie", in 1994. But it was the two gigs in the summer of 2005, at the Milton Keynes Bowl that definitely turned them in one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

One of the shows was recorded to the DVD "Bullet In A Bible".

Green Day - Cigarettes and Valentines

O canal oficial dos Green Day no Youtube lançou este vídeo com imagens da banda e a letra da música "Cigarettes and Valentines" que é uma das músicas que vão entrar no CD e DVD ao vivo "Awesome as Fuck".
