Green Day saves Frost with rock’n’ roll – The Standard

Green Day played two and a half hours in the Frost, without that we will be on our watch looked: then you have the 'passion and compassion', which singer Billie Joe Armstrong wanted to feel.

Green Day is already long not more the rattige punktrio of 39/Smooth and Kerplunk: nowadays, they live amplification of two guitarists and a multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Matika, who are in 'Minority' even an accordion bovenhaalde. Since the success of Dookie from 1993, is Green Day a hitgroep, and that he remained, perhaps to the surprise of those who then 'Basket case', 'She', 'Longview', 'When I come around' and 'Burnout' heard – five numbers that they are in Frost also played.

Just like '2000 light years away ” from Kerplunk, because already they have an impressive light show, and enough explosions to Ocam very, very nervous, they still keep a retestrakke '1-2-3-4!' They also had one in pink bunny suit-shrouded mascot that our boost of warmth on the show of 'Bohemian rhapsody', 'Blitzkrieg bop' and 'The good, The bad and the ugly' – there should always laugh, at Green Day. And in terms of flying start, could occur count: three songs far had singer Billie Joe Armstrong been a fan from the audience is drawn – which, of course, above him uittorende, all fans of Green Day are bigger than Armstrong – and the Danish flag around his shoulders, replaced by a Belgian and there were already two songs have passed from the new album Revolution Radio, that after the somewhat disappointing trilogy ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! proves that they are still a punky pop song you can write to.

A big fuck you

Seven songs they played from the new record, but that we found so really not very; and seven from American Idiot, including 'Holiday'. If you promise not to tell: I take 'Holiday' ever go on a holiday, to than, say, a Portuguese farmer to do startling out of his siesta with my powerful bring gescandeerde 'hey!' Great memories, good fun: Armstrong know that we of his band. Only after five songs he spoke to the room: “tonight is going to passion and compassion. There is so much negativity nowadays; I can’t even watch the news. I do not know what is true and what is a lie.'

That sounds like a complaint that many people make, but they are rarely as ready on a stage; the man Who is Not Called, which was after 'American idiot' in the encores a big fuck you Armstrong. In the two hours in between, we received a very generous selection of their twelve plates. And a cover of 'Knowledge' by Operation Ivy, an old punk band that Armstrong’s heart is and that we especially will remember, because the blonde that he from the audience took out after his question, “where are the guitarists here?” really seemed to play – she was the guitar.

2.5 hours

two and a Half hours is a long time, and Armstrong, drummer Tré Cool and bassist Mike Dirnt are now 44, but they did it with an energy that suggests that they already have a time in tarwegrassapjes and daily gymsessies are switched. True dips were not in the concert, already had Jason Freese for me not to need to demonstrate how well he sax play; but he made good with the dramatic piano in ” Jesus or Suburbia. 'Yes, we have passion, ” said Armstrong, rubbing at the end of the concert – he was on his back a medley to sing 'Shout', 'Satisfaction', 'Always look on the bright side of life' and 'Hey Jude'. 'More, I do not need, because I believe that rock'n ‘ roll can save the world.' And you know: we believed that a little bit.

Green Day is Radiohead not: a fusionjazzplaat or electrical influences do you take from them is not to be expected. But twelve studioplaten long punkpop that regularly it foams like a pint on a hot day is certainly not less difficult, and after thirty years, Green Day has still not faded doorslagje of themselves, like so many groups. It is still funny to them as ” elder statesmen of rock to see, but we will but begin to do? They are the de facto, though, and you can treat them with that respect.
