desertrose Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Bob Gruen is one of rock music’s greatest photographers. Some of the Long Island Music Hall of Famer’s work, including his iconic photo of John Lennon in a “New York City” T-shirt, is the subject of a current exhibit at the Morris Museum in New Jersey and some of his photos of Green Day are collected in a new book out later this month. Gruen says his relationship with Green Day came about in much the same way. “When I first met them, they were the most interesting band I’d seen in a long time,” he says. “What they’re saying is very powerful and that’s always mattered to me. I like music with a message and I felt that Green Day had an important message. They also have a fantastic sense of humor. And it turns out that they liked me, so we started spending more time together and I started seeing them every time they came around New York. So after 25 years, it was time to make a book out of it.” https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/woodstock-bob-gruen-1.34682792?fbclid=IwAR0LS3JyRvSl6KQwSujw7uuqOBxu2NdydhvJkgcZhDDQGp7Wf-AsHquDqhQ

pacejunkie punk Posted August 19, 2019 Author Posted August 19, 2019 My amazon order now says arriving August 27 which means they’re shipping it early to arrive on the release date! I keep seeing scans around of the photos in this book it can’t get here fast enough 😍😍😍
Squashie Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Mine says sept 3-9, but I do not have Prime. Which is fine because I won’t even be home August 27-sept 3.

The Grohl Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Once my mom found Creepers at the thrift store and she was like "aren't these those shoes that Green Day wears?" I tried them on and was like, sorry Billie. I just can't do creepers lol. He makes them look good! They didn't look good on me.
desertrose Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Got my confirm from Amazon it will arrive by August 27th.

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I got my copy this morning I quickly went through it and it looks like really nice piece to add to my collection!
The Grohl Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I got a copy of the book and I think it's a great addition for any fan. It's a cool combo of photos we've seen, plus a lot of unseen material. And I think the additional commentary from the guys is an added bonus! Kind of makes it stand out from other photo books.
jengd Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Am so excited about this! Will get my download tomorrow but not get print version til middle of September! Kind of hoping it arrives early.
Squashie Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 All I ask is if people post pics from it, to do it in a spoiler and say it that it's a spoiler. I want to see the photos for the first time when I get my physical copy.
nobodylikeswarning Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Amazon say September 10 release for UK Ah well I can wait

Karl Karlson Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Amazon just notified me that the book has been shipped and should arrive on the 29th

Agreed 100%, Mine's not supposed to come til the 3rd or 4th, and I feel like it's going to be impossible to avoid the pics, but am going to try.

Staying out of the tags on social platforms is probably the only way, sadly. The good thing is this weekend, I won’t be on my phone much because of a road trip to see friends.
Slave To The Network Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Mine comes tomorrow and I'm excited! What a perfect birthday present for myself! I'll have to wrap the package it comes in and open it on Thursday. lol
