The new video, Green Day's first in four years, is being directed by Bay Area musician Tim Armstrong (of Operation Ivy and Rancid fame). He has only a short list of previous film work, so the end product that we'll eventually get to see should be an interesting surprise! Tre Cool posted a rather blue photo with Tim this week.

Great to work with our good friend and director Tim Armstrong on the new video for #BangBang
