I first heard of greenday in 2002, when i saw them perform with prodigy in London's astoria, they actualy blew off the roof.
ever since then ive been a huge fan.

So if you're wondering how Green Day managed to become the biggest punk band in the world,
take a look at Bullet in a Bible. Recorded at their June 2005 two-night run at Milton Keynes National Bowl in England,
this sees the former bong-hitting Californian dropouts embracing political activism, pantomime hilarity,
and all the fripperies of a rock opera-and excelling at all three.

This i can only describe as a docu-live perofrmance, complete with anti-American rabble-rousing and a set of barbed insults tossed back at the "rednecks" across the pond. That out of the way, the band careen into a sort of greatest-hits set, with the likes of "Longview" and "Hitchin' a Ride" sharing space with a brass-laden "King for a Day" that sees Billie Joe Armstrong prancing around the stage in crown and ermine cape, singing snatches of Lulu's "Shout" and Eric Idle's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Tremendously silly, but Green Day have managed to figure out how to play it like showmen without resorting to juvenile puerility or morphing into corporate yes-men, and that's a way harder trick than it looks.
