Squashie Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Mine came today. It’s still in the amazon box, unopened in my car. I’ll have to wait to look at it Monday.

For those who didn’t like the cover, wait til you see the whole book, it fits. Great pics, quite a few new to me and some for fans to geek out about - not going to spoil anything but hope you all love it. Really want the printed one now! I love it too and i think the cover is hot. The book captures the fact that they are nuts but in a good way
jengd Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Is it ok now to say I love Billie’s intro, how totally Billie and GD it is and I love how they reproduced it, Bob really gets them. I also love the variety to their comments.
whatsername Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Yay my book arrived today from Amazon. 10 days early so it's a great surprise! I am so excited to look through it shortly
Slave To The Network Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Mine says that it just shipped! Was supposed to be here on the 27th of August, but it got delayed. I'll be so happy when I finally get it!
jengd Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Bugger, mine (UK) has gone from 10 Sep to 16 Sep!
The Grohl Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I meant to share this earlier, but I actually got a copy of the book for review: https://genreisdead.com/review-green-day-book-bob-gruen/ Also have an interview with Bob Gruen in works 👀
**nobodylikesyou** Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I thought the book was ok. Not as good as I had expected. Most of the pics have been seen before. Most of the pics were from 2009/2010 era For band that has been around for almost 3 decades, I just thought there would be more variety.... Still enjoyed it.

It was limited by the amount of contacts Bob had with the band. He was only at a handful of shows and events outside of that 2009-2010 period. It’s all the work of one photographer. That said I had wished he had gotten better pics from the 1994 MSG after party and the Hall of Fame induction since he clearly was there.
Montclare Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I wish there had been more new Foxies pics. The great majority in there were ones we've seen before. I also found it weird that he mentioned Jason, Jason, Jeff, and even Ronnie Blake, but didn't mention Kevin in the chapter on the FBHT.

I know right? it was marketed like lots of never before seen pics from different eras and it just wasn't😪
Slave To The Network Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I got my book! I'm so happy! I've only had time to read the first few pages and the adorably handwritten introduction so far, but I'm looking forward to going through more of it tomorrow.

Yeah that is strange. Also Kurt who was them for many years, wasn't mentioned at all either. And he said Bob took plenty of pics of them when he was with them for 5+ years.
Goofygoldfish Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Mine has arrived - I used work address as I'm there 5 days, and home 2, thought this was best chance of not having to go and collect it at some depot somewhere...you guessed it - I was at home, and can't get it until Monday, next week is sure going to be full of fun!!!
IcyMoffatt Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I got mine yesterday! It looks awesome. Thanks to my cousin for the giftcard at the bookstore. I wouldn't have been able to buy the book without it. Edit: I just saw this on Instagram:
Goofygoldfish Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Ok, I knew it had arrived. But I did not know... My silly singing little face is in the goddam book 😱😱😱😱😱 This made for major giddy on Monday night when I got ny paws on it, then Tuesday giddy took over so just getting round to posting!
The Grohl Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 My interview with Bob Gruen is now up on GENRE IS DEAD and I wanted to share! Of course we talk about Green Day and their involvement with the book: https://genreisdead.com/interview-with-bob-gruen/
