For those of you looking to grab some tickets for the American Idiot Musical tour dates in Europe next Autumn/Fall, they're due to go on sale on Friday at 10am (GMT). We'll have more info on how you can order your tickets later on in the week. Also, perhaps more European dates will follow? We'll have to wait and see.

[img=120511_GDE.jpg]Larry Livermore did an interview with Green Day Eulogy - a Brazilian fan site for Green Day and related music. Here's a little teaser from it:
[quote]GDE: You have mentioned many times in your blog about how you asked Green Day (Sweet Children back then) to record with you when they were 16 and played for a small audience of 5. What it's like for you to see how big they are now? What made you know that they were headed to be something huge in the future?
Larry: "It's very gratifying, of course, and I couldn't be happier for them, but I'm also happy for all the millions of people around the world who've now had the opportunity to hear their music. Back when most of our shows were in basements and garages and tiny clubs, it was hard to imagine that someday some of our friends would be known all over the world for their music, but it's true that the very first time I saw them, I knew that they could be one of the biggest bands of our time. I can't explain how I knew it; it was just one of those things that seemed completely obvious to me, even though most other people laughed at me when I said so.[/quote]
You can check the full interview in Portuguese and English here. Thanks to Tanya @GreenDayMind for tweeting that one. @GDEulogy are on twitter too!
Hot on the heels of that, i'll have the pleasure of interviewing Larry Livermore for GDA over the Xmas holidays. So, if you'd like to request a question to ask the great Lookouts! man, now's your chance! Check out this thread in the Green Day Community forum. We'll be looking forward to hearing some news about his upcoming compilation album release for Adeline Records, as well as Larry's up-coming novel "Spy Rock Memories".
Last but not least...
Here's some new pictures from the Emily's Army show with Bobby Joe Ebola and The Children MacNuggits the other night, where Billie Joe filled in on guitar for The Army. Corbett Redford from The Macnuggits gave us a heads up on these photos from the show, taken by his good wife Melissa. Check 'em out!
There's a short video of Emily's Army here if you want to check it out. The audio quality is not great, but it's a good little clip from the night.
What will the week ahead have in store?
