raven052 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Alright, already posted this on the random news thread, but... Yeah, this needs it's own, right? (apologies if I am wrong on this one) So, first official book, by Green Day. Found out about this while I was at work (I work in a book store), bored and typed Green Day (again) into the database. Here's the synopsis: "This dynamic first book from the popular punk rock band Green Day will include hundreds of photographs of the band on tour and backstage, as well as ephemera including backstage passes, ticket stubs, handwritten notes and lyrics, and more. These gorgeous photos will be supplemented with lyrics from their last two hit albums "American Idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown", and captions from the rest of the band. This fan must-have will also feature a foreword by Billie Joe Armstrong." Looks like it's coming out 25th October (US) and 5th November (UK), not sure about other countries... I know I'm very excited (big Green Day fan + major book worm, I'm in heaven!).
pasalaska Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Finally we get to see what those photographers mentioned in Cometbus were doing (assuming this is that project) excited
Silverlight Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 This sounds good. Green Day + Book + Pictures = Total awesomeness. Hopefully this comes out in Australia.
Sara. Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I am so stoked for this I love reading Green Day books and this one sounds really interesting!
Vaso.Of.Suburbia Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 These gorgeous photos will be supplemented with lyrics from their last two hit albums "American Idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown" WTF? Nothing from the older albums?
Hermione Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Finally we get to see what those photographers mentioned in Cometbus were doing (assuming this is that project) excited Yesss I checked in Cometbus this morning and he even called it a "coffee table book". Can't wait to see it!

Nobody_Likes_You Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Do you guys think the pictures sent in to the Idiot Club for the Coffee Table book last year could get used for this? And in Berlin in 2010 some Photographer, I think it was Chris Dugan asked to take a picture of me before the show and he said it would be used for a Tour Book, maybe this is even included..
WestboundSign! Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 As I've already said in the news thread, I think it's awesome! I'm totally looking forward to holding this book in my hands.. well, made my day!

elisa Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I don't think I've been this excited for a new book coming out since Harry Potter 7.
Fuzz Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 How awesome would it be if Green Day wrote a book about their story. Now THAT would be fucking amazing.
