Video Confirms Green Day Working With Butch Vig On New Album

10/14/08, 9:25 am EST

Confirming what Garbage’s Shirley Manson let slip last week, Green Day posted a video proving they are in the studio working with producer Butch Vig. In the above clip, which was posted on Green Day’s official YouTube page, Billie Joe Armstrong strums some chords on his guitar before the camera slowly pans over to Vig, who greets the camera with his middle finger. The two songs we hear in the video are way too embryonic to evaluate or even guess which direction the follow-up to American Idiot will take, but at least we have confirmation the band is hard at work on their new album.

The only reason Rolling Stone worships at the altar of Green Day is because they bashed the hell out of George Bush on American Idiot. They will probably get on their knees for Billy Joe again.

Truth is, Green Day sucks. Rolling Stone knows this too but they have to push their super liberal agenda so they will get behind their new album.

Pathetic.

And the only reason this bothers YOU, EPB, is because you worship at the alter of George W. Bush? Liberals seem pathetic to you? Well, waterboys to any political party seem pathetic to me.

DAMN BUTCH VIG FLIPPED THE BIRD…OH MAN, THAT’S SO BADASS…WHAT A REBEL!!! COOOOOOOOLL!!!!

You guys have nothing better to do. Green Day is a great band. IF you have ever seen them live that would prove it alone. They are great live and sound real, unlike many bands today that lip sync of sound so differently from there cd. You guys are just bush **** suckers so you rip on green day for that

Foxboro Hot Tubs > Green Day

Oh, wait…

I’m not the biggest Green Day fan but Vig should make their new album sound amazing.

johnnyb | 10/14/2008, 5:42 pm EST

oh my god the bashers,
billie joe is one of the greatest songwriters of the last 2 decades, he was always amazing, even in the first 2 records

Jess | 10/14/2008, 5:58 pm EST

I’m not afraid to sound like a twelve-year-old, I

assassin | 10/14/2008, 6:23 pm EST

Can’t wait, even the worst green day albulms come up dam good, Billie Joe just has a knack for song writting, can’t beleive how he just keeps comming up with the stuff. I expected American Idiot to be a little ordinary after so many years of writting but one listen and it blows you away, they seriously could of milked even more singles from it!

Ricky Stevens | 10/15/2008, 12:33 am EST

Hey… let’s all be a bunch of pathetic losers and comment on a paragraph! Glad to see I’m not alone. Alright!

R. Planet | 10/15/2008, 2:03 am EST

Vig produced a damn good Nirvana Record and the best SP record. Problem is it’s 2008 so….

ChrisCo | 10/15/2008, 7:49 pm EST

I loved American Idiot, and can’t wait for the next GD album to drop!

Mr. cool | 10/15/2008, 9:36 pm EST

I am so freakin excited!!!!!! it has been such a long waiting peiod sinse american idiot. Although I really liked Fox borro hot tubs!!! (and the network)

DRe3 | 10/16/2008, 3:25 pm EST

I love it when dumbasses come on here bashing or defending the article and can’t spell worth shit.
Get educated, you fuckin’ mongoloids.

Green Day is one of those bands like Linkin Park…Rock bands for people that don’t really like rock music.

Starr | 10/16/2008, 4:46 pm EST

If you think they suck, don’t buy the album. It makes more of a point than ranting on the internet. Unless, of course, you just need some attention ;)

matt | 10/18/2008, 2:31 am EST

hope is insomiac good and not american idiot good,2:30 green day songs are great but going emo for some 12 year-old kids ain’t cool. also KERPLUNK IS A GOOD DAMN ALBUM!!

Voice of Gob | 10/18/2008, 8:19 am EST

EBP, while reading your recent posting on this website, i’ve come to notice just how utterly stupid you are. I mean dear go darlin, did you listen to yourself there: “truth is, green day sucks. rolling stone knows this too but they have to push their super liberal agenda…” Oh my god. were you dropped on your head as a kid cause thats the only possible way god could allow someone so stupid to be walking on this earth.

R. Planet | 10/19/2008, 4:21 pm EST

Pfft. You believe in GOD?

anonymous | 10/20/2008, 11:45 am EST

It’s about time that Green Day put out a new album (under the Green Day name at least)

And to all of you on here who are bashing them as a horrible band, well, WHY THE F**K ARE YOU LOOKING AT AN ARTICLE ABOUT THEM FOR IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM???

Green Day rocks

Anonymous | 10/23/2008, 3:21 pm EST

It’s an interesting thing reading an article about a band making it to where they are today. It’s even funnier when there are 12-17 year old losers typing out how much the band “sucks” and how crappy their music is. Obviously these kids have to say these things over the internet to prove how “hardcore” they are when in reality they spend their time playing Halo on xbox live for days at a time. This article was intended for people who enjoy the band, if you dont like the music, it’s your opinion, but no need to say things you dont need to say, so go back to listening to your slipknot and hawthorne heights and plug in your live because the put things in simpler terms for you 1.8 gpa internet whores, Get a life.

willy | 3/12/2009, 6:53 am EST

I saw GD at milton keynes and it rates as one of best gigs i’ve seen
looking forward to a new album and for the people who are knocking the band i suggest you listen to the music once more and if you still don’t like them thats your choice but your missing out!

talent | 9/28/2009, 3:57 pm EST

isnt this the band that had to change their name from “green jello” because they got sued by Jell-O ?

eh, who cares, theres still a total lack of originality and lack of talent in this 2 chord “group”.
No one cares.
