Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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 Green Day’s two-night run at Milton Keynes National Bowl in June 2005, this combined CD/DVD sees these former bong-hitting Californian drop-outs embracing political activism, pantomime hilarity, and all the fripperies of a rock opera – and excelling at all three.
The first half is essentially a run-through of the group’s 2004 album American Idiot, complete with anti-American rabble-rousing and a set of barbed insults tossed back at the "rednecks" across the pond. That out 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 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. – Louis Pattison
Product Description
Directed by Sam Bayer ("Wake Up Me When September Ends", Nirvana’s "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), the DVD runs close to two hours long and features a full live set from Milton Keynes. It also features behind the scenes footage and extensive interviews with all the band members.
American Idiot has now sold over 9-million copies worldwide, 1.4-million of them in the UK alone. The album entered the UK charts at #1 and has remained in the Top 30 ever since. It has spawned the band’s four highest charting singles to date – "American Idiot" (#3), "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" (#5), "Wake Me Up When September Ends" (#7) and "Holiday" (#11) - and also earned the band a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
