||||||||
The Pogo Paradise DVD release - an unofficial Green Day title from Chrome Dreams records - scheduled for Thursday in two days has apparently been cancelled, or postponed? I have no idea about the reason, please let me know if you have any clue. Interpunk.com simply says "Sorry, but this item is no longer available", and CDNOW cancelled all orders placed for this title saying "This item is Temporarily unavailable". |

Added a new CD-R bootleg in the discography from the Manchester Move Festival this summer, with a live song to download: When I Come Around (MP3, 3:37, 3.4 MB). Sound is not good quality on this CD, but it's fun to hear Billie while his guitar amp suddenly stops: "Fuck this! What the fuck is going on? Can you hear everything? (...) We're not David fuckin' Bowie god damnit! This is a fuckin' rock n' roll show!" |

||||||||
| September 19 Pogo Paradise update. Detailed information is available at digitallyobsessed.com. It's an unofficial and unauthorized release from Chrome Dreams records, the same label that released last year an audio CD interview called Maximum Green Day, not so interesting in my opinion. Pogo Paradise will apparently not contain any live music by Green Day. |
||||||||
| September 17 Excellent news! Pogo Paradise, remember this name. This is the new Green Day video release on DVD/VHS. Release date (from videoeta.com): November 19th, two months and two days from today! |
||||||||
After International Supervideos!, finally there is a Green Day home video with original footage! From interpunk.com: "For the first time, Pogo Paradise goes behind the music by using interviews with the band and those who have known them along the way. Blending previously unseen footage, this documentary presents an overview and investigation into the roots of this extraordinary band." |
||||||||
It's still not clear whether it will contain live material or not, and whether it is from Reprise, Adeline or some other record company. New information on this video, including where to buy it, will be posted here as soon as available. |
||||||||
| September 15 Here we go again... New video of the week, with the Stuck With Me video. Music videos were lacking on this site, so I'll add one from time to time! Check out also the new auction. |
||||||||
| September 1 Back for more! Auctions started again, check it out. However, you'll have to wait a few more days for the new videos. The first one is tentatively scheduled for September 15th. Following requests, I can already tell you there will be some high quality MPEG files, so I hope you have a fast connection, or prepare for big downloads! |
||||||||
In the DUI story, about the question why the song was dropped out the final Shenanigans release, an informed source tells me it was "a band creative decision, no further explanation given". |
||||||||
August 12 Green Day's DUI exists for real! Finally we have an answer, confirming the rumors. As reported by greenday.net and greenday.cc, noowaag.com got one of those rare 15-track unmastered promo CD and posted the song this weekend. It's an acoustic song with accordion and Tré singing. Download the full song here (low quality MP3, 432 K, 1 min 50 sec). See the lyrics, they are insane. |
||||||||
Here's also a short clip (MP3, 202 K, 29 sec) of the Green Day boys talking about DUI on the '97 Modern Rock Live interview. (Thanks to MxPx01039!) |
||||||||
| July 31 DUI update. Still no proof the song really exists or does not. Form your own opinion! There are still chances Green Day's DUI exists, personally I'll assume it does not until I can hear the song. I reproduce here some comments I've received: "Would Green Day have gotten amazon.com to play in with the joke, it just doesn't seem like something that they would waste their time on." "In radio show Modern Rock Live from 1997, Billie talks about how they recorded 19th Nervous Breakdown and Alison. Then he says that they recorded one of Tré's song called DUI! Mike then says that none will ever hear it due to legal reasons or something." "Remember that old Australian TV Recovery show that Green Day did back in '97? The one they got kicked off for playing The Grouch. Well, right when he introduces the band, if you listen they are playing DUI." "DUI by Green Day had Tré singing and him playing accordion." "I e-mailed the place that had that 15-track Reprise promo unmastered security CD-R acetate and DUI isn't on it. So it sucks, I don't think that DUI was released on anything." |
||||||||
| July 28 DUI: the epilogue. Well, kind of. Here's what I found out: DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is in fact a song written by The Offspring. Here are Offspring's MP3 (2.3 MB, 2 min 29 sec) and lyrics to the song, which are indeed a tribute to drinking and driving. It was released in 1997 on the I Know What You Did Last Summer movie soundtrack. This was also around the time nimrod got released, at the same time than it was first rumored Green Day would release DUI. |
||||||||
Finally, I personally think this song appearing on Shenanigans is just a big joke and wasn't even recorded by Green Day. Maybe I'm wrong? Let me know what you think about all this story. Hmm... and don't drink and drive! |
||||||||
| July 25 The search for DUI continues. It isn't hopeless! Some guy told me he'll receive a "15-track Reprise promo unmastered security CD-R acetate" featuring the track DUI. I don't know whether this is true, but reading the Shenanigans review on amazon.com ("... Sure, some of these tracks would have benefited from withering in obscurity forever -- like DUI a questionable mariachi-flavored tribute to drinking and driving -- but the rest capture Green Day in fine style ..."), it is possible such CD exist. Who's going to find it first? The race has begun... |
||||||||
| July 24 DUI not on any Shenanigans CD. Warning! The japanese version of Shenanigans DOES NOT CONTAIN Tré's song DUI! This import CD contains the same 14 songs than the original CD. It does contain though a cool sticker of the CD cover and a booklet with the lyrics in English and Japanese to all songs on the CD, but no extra song as incorrectly advertised, neither hidden last track. To prove it, see the tracklisting of japanese CD on the lyrics booklet and cover insert. |
||||||||
| June 30 New video of the week, from the 2001 Bizarre Festival, where... hmm... Tré Cool is having fun! Download only if you're 18+ !!! |
||||||||

||||||||
For you guitar players, here's a tab to the new song Ha Ha You're Dead (Word, 32K). |
||||||||
| June 18 From greenday.com: JapanFour.com has a strange, but nonetheless entertaining video someone made for Ha Ha You're Dead. (This is NOT an official Green Day video, it's more like a fan tribute kinda thing, just so ya know.) |
||||||||
| June 16 New video of the week, from the MTV Live Without Warning in Seattle, WA. |
||||||||
| June 14 The Ha Ha You're Dead MP3, previously available here, has been removed, due to Adeline Records not wanting it posted without permission. Sorry... The song will be released June 18th on the Adeline compilation Every Dog Will Have Its Day and then July 2nd on the Green Day b-sides collection Shenanigans. |
||||||||
