Trina Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I stumbled across this series - Rock 'n' Roll Exposed on Sky Arts1. It was part three of a four part series on the photographs and stories from Bob Gruen (famous rock 'n' roll and punk photographer who could be seen on tour with Green Day most recently and he also produced Depression Times!) directed by non other than Don Letts of course! Please excuse me for badly typing this but I'm all excited! It was absolutely brilliant and Billie Joe popped up a couple of times, speaking about Bob and the punk scene. It's new footage, from 2010 I suppose. Most excitingly, part 4 is, well, - "Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong discusses photgrapher Bob Gruen's influence on the development of rock 'n' roll and why he's still so sought-after 50 years on." It should be brilliant! I suppose there's a possibility Billie Joe was featured a little in the other two parts. I'm not sure though. They will all be repeated, so we can find out. Sky Arts may put it on their site but I kind of doubt it so hopefully someone can tape and upload this beauty for people who don't get this channel? Description: http://www.skyarts.co.uk/film-docs/article/rock-n-roll-exposed/ Full listings of when this series will show: http://library.digiguide.tv/lib/programmenextshowing/787840&hPage=1 Part 1 (not sure if BJ is featured): March 31st - 2:20pm - 2:50pm & April 1st - 12:30am - 1am Part 2 (not sure if BJ is featured): March 31st - 2:50pm - 3:20pm & April 1st - 1am - 1:30am Part 3 (BJ is featured): March 24th - 5:30pm - 6pm & March 31st - 3:20pm - 3:50pm & April 1st - 1:30am - 2am Part 4 (all BJ baby!!): March 24th - 11pm - 11:30pm & March 25th - 5:30pm - 6pm & March 31st - 3:50pm - 4:20pm & April 1st - 2am - 2:30am It will also be shown on Sky Arts HD.

oda Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks! I hope this will be out on youtube or something
farley drexel hatcher Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I hope someone can record it! I don't think I get that channel ...
Trina Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Oh my god, such a mess of a post! Excited! Thanks! I hope this will be out on youtube or something I hope someone can record it! I don't think I get that channel ... I hope so too! I will tape it on my VHS (if it co-operates) but I have no way to put it online. If worst comes to worst, I'll film in with my dodgy camera. Really hope someone films it though! It's kinda short notice.
Trina Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 oh, oh, also can someone submit this as news to gda or ask them to post it because i have to go now but i want to make sure everyone gets to see it and especially that someone tapes it for the fans who can't watch. thanks
Shadowiegirl Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for the heads up. Have sent my recorder for 11pm this evening.
Trina Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for the heads up. Have sent my recorder for 11pm this evening. No problem. Will you be able to upload it? He's also in the one at 5:30pm, a bit.
Tubbie Head Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I hope someone can record it! I don't think I get that channel ... Yes! This..
Shadowiegirl Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Only just come in on the second half and BJ is talking, There seems to be more pics of GD that Bob took rather than BJ talking. And the programme has moved swiftly on, so it looks like a nano second of BJ. Still taping though.
Katarina. Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 This sounds pretty interesting. Thanks to the ones recording it!
Alan86 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Just watched this, Bob seems like a really cool guy. Billie really seems to love his work. Some really good Green Day parts too Billie had a good few things to say too
Shadowiegirl Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Did he say it in the first half as he didn't seem to say much in the second half when he spoke for two minutes and then showed lots of photos, very quickly?
Alan86 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Well for me there was only one part. It was 25 mins long with no break. The green day bits popped up every so often. Some bits about the tubbies in there too
greenbear Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Well worth watching. Bilie wasn't in it much but it was interesting all the same. Bob Gruen comes over as a really nice guy. I can see why Green Day like him. Billie said a bit in the first half and he did mention the Tubbie's shows . They even showed a pic of Billie hanging upside-down at Don Hills! Billie did say that he was glad photos were taken there because he was too drunk to remember it well. Or something along those lines.
Hermione Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for posting about this Trina and thanks for recording Ros! Looking forward to seeing it
Shadowiegirl Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I must have missed the interesting bit of him talking more than 30 seconds worth, but I will get it edited tomorrow when I watch the whole thing. I love how it is represented in the paper/Radio Times as "Billie Joe talks about..." Yeah right....two minutes worth lol.
greendaytone Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 If someone has a recording, let me know and I'll see if we can get it up on GDA!
jtdscape Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I really hope that a recording of this shows up someplace..
saraHsunshine Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I don't get anything but basic tv channels! I hope someone records it!?
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 *expresses/echoes the want for a recording*
Smoothed Out Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I saw this on Sky Anytime!!! And my dad asked me whether I was watching it or not...*jumps up to go record it now* Thank you for the info!!
Alan86 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I have this recorded. I won't be able to upload it for about a week though. If someone hasn't uploaded it by then, I will
