1.04.09 | Basket Case lands in top 100, Tre Cool portrait to be made

Green Day was mentioned in VH1's countdown of the top 100 hard rock songs, Basket Case landed at #33 in the list.

There's an art show in Toronto on February 5th called 'Cut to the Drummer' where 50 artists from around the world make portraits of 50 drummers. Tre Cool will be done by artist Dan Page from Canada. You can find more information on this site. And here's the complete list of drummers and artists. If the finished portrait is made available online, we'll be sure to share it. [Thanks to Devon for the information]

And as mentioned above the news, I'd like to once again give my thanks to all the people who helped us out here for this month. Your help is very much appreciated by me, and the thousands of people who visit GDA.

1.02.09 | New Editorial, Are We? We Are!, and Kerrang talks Green Day

The new editorial titled "Are We? We Are?" is available to read. This article, written by Cheryl, talks about the anticipation we have while waiting for the new material, and also talks about Billie Joe's ability as a songwriter to connect to just a diverse group of people through his style. You can click the link above to read it, and visit the editorial section for other articles.

And with that, I'd like to welcome Alex to our team. He's joining as an editor for the site, starting off by working with the authors to build up the editorial section. Very excited to have him on board, and hopefully give him more work.

Kerrang Magazine writes a blurb about the biggest albums coming in 2009, of course Green Day is mentioned. They mention that the expected release is in April, which sounds fine with the general timeline that the band has said, "Around spring." We still don't have an official release date yet, but I think it' safe to assume it'll be in the first half of this year. [Thanks to die_in_tradgedy on the forum for posting the info and scan]

1.01.09 | Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all of you great people. 2008 was pretty exciting for us Green Day fans, and no doubt there's ton's more coming in 2009. We have a new editorial going up tomorrow, written by Cheryl (*withoutadoubt* on the forum) who writes about the anticipation we have for the good things coming from Green Day this year. So come back for that.

Here's the recap of 2008 that I promised. All the note-worthy events that happened in the Green Day world last year can be found there, with links for all the details you could want. It's definitely a wonderful way to get caught up.

I'd like to give my sincerest thanks to all of you who have visited GDA for so long. Not just a half-assed thanks, but the sincerest. I'm extremely lucky to be able to interact with so many of you and be a part of this niche website. You have to admit, of all the things on the net, we're certainly in our own corner. Thanks for sticking by us and visiting so frequently. We'll be doing our best to make things even better throughout 2009 as we wait in anticipation for Green Day's next album. We can finally say it's coming this year!

To start off on a clean slate, we've archived all the news, which you can find in the aptly named News Archives.
