It's also the source of Tré Cool's iconic 'never jack off a cactus' quote.



Some other fun quotes from the interview:

'Now that we're off camera, do you want to talk about dick, too?' -- Tré Cool

'I tried my hand at two Sonic Youth records. I had one given to me and I bought two and... I'd be damed if they made more than one spin.' -- Mike Dirnt

'Oakland is like the Detroit of San Francisco.' -- Billie Joe

'There should be a law against lip syncing. Anybody who can't play live should be either strung up or have their musical talent revoked.' -- Mike Dirnt

'Have you ever ate a clump of a woman's period before?' -- Billie Joe

'You know what the best thing about San Francisco is? You can see Oakland from it.' -- Mike Dirnt

Billie Joe also talked about naming International Superhits, saying: 'We thought of like, The Wonder Years. The Immaculate Collection. Lenny. So we were trying to think like, "Let's think of the most arrogant title we could possibly think of." At one point, it was "International Superhits You're Not Worthy of Owning." Big Hits, Quick Cash...'

And in case you didn't know, Mike added, 'Or whatever else you were trying to please' when Tré said, 'Never jack off a cactus. You'll just hurt your hand and the cactus' feelings.'

This was the discussion about the 'Brain Stew' head:

Billie Joe: 'We were staying in Copenhagen and this guy comes up to us after the show and he's like, "Come over to my house and you can meet my roommate, Sleepy. So we were like, "OK, we'll go meet Sleepy." So we go over to his house and get in our sleeping bags and get ready to crash out. And then all of a sudden, he rolls in this formaldehyde tank with a human head inside of it. And he's like, 'This is my friend, Sleepy."'
Mike: 'We slept right next to him. It was from a medical school and he had all the pens in his head.'
Billie Joe: 'He's bald and he had the pins in it. I slept in the hall.'
Mike: 'I slept right next to it. I woke up and I was like, "Good morning, sunshine. You're looking wonderful today. Must be that formaldehyde."'

August 14, 2026

Three buddies drive cross-country in a van, causing mayhem and mischief while racing to LA for their big break: opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

Variety reports that the film was picked up by Palisades Park for international sales and sending it to the Cannes Market. They also confirmed the flim "has a global theatrical rollout set for August."

We will keep an eye out for any official announcement from the studio, but this is a good sign. If you missed our last update on the film, (it got renamed from 'New Years Rev' to 'Nimrods') check it out here.

Thanks to arcadiagay for sharing this on Green Day Community.

Nobody Likes You: Inside the Turbulent Life, Times, and Music of Green Day by Marc Spitz




This is "the" classic Green Day book. If you know a long-time fan who's only read one of them, it will be this one. It starts at the beginning and covers Green Day's career and lives up to the American Idiot era. Marc Spitz interviewed many of the most influential people around Green Day, including family members. There are many interesting (and crazy) facts in the book that are no longer common knowledge, as well as several pages of black and white photos in the centre.



It does have some factual errors, but not as many as some of the others on this list. Some fans have complained that the writer made misogynistic remarks about female fans. I don't remember that, but it's been a while.

Best for: Fans who are invested in the band themselves as well as their music.
Buy 'Nobody Likes You' on Amazon

Green Day: Rebels With a Cause by Gillian G. Garr




Like Nobody Likes You, this unofficial biography follows the band from the beginning up until the American Idiot era. It has a few more factual errors, but different interviews with other musicians and fans. There are some black and white photos in this book too.



This has a higher rating on Goodreads, for what that's worth.

Best for: Fans who want to read about Green Day's career.
Buy 'Rebels With a Cause' on Amazon

Cometbus #54: In China With Green Day by Aaron Cometbus




This zine was written by Aaron Cometbus, a former roadie and the drummer in one of Billie Joe's side projects, Pinhead Gunpowder. It's his personal recap of the time he spent in Asia with Green Day on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. There's a lot of talk about their past (especially with Billie Joe) and some candid recollections of events and conversations on the tour, including Scrabble games and a moment when Tré almost choked on a live octopus. As it reaches its conclusion, there's a poetic scene in which Billie Joe pulls Aaron in for a kiss that, if I remember, is likened to a plane taking off (don't quote me on that). Pretty wild ride.

It has also been a while since I read this, but I do remember thinking Mr. Cometbus was a misogynistic arse. Don't let that put you off though. It's very highly rated by fans and it's unique because it was written by someone who actually knew the band and was on tour with them.

I remember buying this from GDA back when it came out! You can still get a paper copy and e-book.

Best for: Fans who want to read a more intimate, personal account from someone close to the band.
Buy 'Cometbus #54' on Amazon

Green Day: American Idiots & the New Punk Explosion by Benjamin Myers




Another unofficial biography, written by a British author who's also a fan of the band. It was published in 2005, so it covers the time period from the beginning to the American Idiot era. It also has some photos and quotes. It does mention other bands, but Green Day are the focus.

Again, this one has quite a few errors, including the occasional "Billy."

Best for: Fans who want an alternative to Nobody Likes You and/or want to read a bit about other bands.
Buy 'American Idiots & the New Punk Explosion' on Amazon

Green Day Rising: Before the Dookie Flew by Michael Sharon and Tim Kenneally




This book includes an interview and 50 "never before seen" photos from the show at Slim's in San Francisco in February 1994. A few of them had been seen, but most hadn't, because they were taken for a magazine feature and never used... until this book was published in 2017. It's now out of print.

Best for: Fans who enjoy looking at old photos and reading interviews.
Buy 'Green Day Rising' on Amazon

Treasures of Green Day by Gillian G. Gaar




Another book by the author of Rebels With a Cause from the Treasures series. It's a full colour book that includes replicas of flyers, ticket stubs, setlists and more.

Best for: Fans who like colour books and old memorabilia.
Buy 'Treasures of Green Day' on Amazon

The Story of Green Day by Doug Small




I guess it figures that I could say "yet another unofficial biography from 2005" so many times. So there you go: it's another unofficial biography from 2005. It has some full colour photos.

Best for: Fans who want to read every Green Day book, or those who want an alternative to Nobody Likes You.
Buy 'The Story of Green Day' on Amazon

Green Day: The Ultimate Unauthorized History by Alan di Perna




A large book that goes a bit further than the American Idiot era. It was published in 2012 and includes the Broadway musical. As well as text, it has full colour photos, flyers, vinyl covers and more.

Best for: Fans who like full colour books and those who want to read slightly further (but don't mind that it's not that much further) than the American Idiot era.

How To Ru(i)n A Record Label: The Story of Lookout Records (Punx) by Larry Livermore




Larry Livermore is the founder of Lookout Records, Green Day's first record label. He also played in Tré's first band, The Lookouts. This is his own book about the history of the label which, of course, includes Green Day and the scene they came from.

Best for: Fans who are interested in the history of Lookout Records and East Bay punk.
Buy 'How To Ru(i)n A Record Label' on Amazon

Another book about the history of Lookout Records and, by extension, Green Day. It tells the story through hundreds of interviews and has been called "parallel" to Larry Livermore's book.

Best for: Fans who are interested in interviews from various people who were around in the times of Lookout Records. If you enjoyed Larry's book, you'll enjoy this one.
Buy on Amazon

Green Day: A Musical Biography (The Story of the Band) by Kjersti Egerdahl




Yet another unofficial biography that was published in 2009. It includes a discography, a list of awards won, and some photos. There are interviews but they weren't done by the author.

Best for: People who haven't read any of the other biographies, or those who want one that includes the release of 21st Century Breakdown.
Buy ' A Musical Biography' on Amazon

Green Day: Photographs by Bob Gruen




A big, hardcover photobook by the renowned rock photographer Bob Gruen. There's nothing much to read, but it's great to flick through if you like looking at photos of the band or appreciate photography in general.

Best for: Fans who only want to see photos.
Buy 'Photographs by Bob Gruen' on Amazon

Green Day: The Secret History by Alan Cross


Yet another unofficial biography that goes from the beginning to the American Idiot era (with some factual errors). This is a more obscure book. Two of the three reviewers on Goodreads didn't seem that impressed.

Best for: People who've already read the other unofficial biographies and really want to read another one.



Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day




The title says it all. It's an oral history of the Bay Area punk scenes, told by the people who were there. There's quite a bit about Maximumrocknroll and a chapter on selling out. It has some of the best reviews of all the books on this list.

Best for: Fans who want to read about the scene Green Day came from.
Buy 'Gimme Something Better' on Amazon

We Are Revolution Radio: A Collection of Green Day Fan Stories and Art




OK, I'm biased because I made this book. It was part of a documentary I did about Green Day fans from 2017-2018. So many amazing people contributed from England, Portugal, Greece, the USA, Venezuela, China, Australia, the list goes on... there are stories that will make you laugh, art that will make you say "wow," and then there are some stories that will make you cry.

It isn't currently available to buy because printing is expensive, but I'll make it available as an e-book at some point.

Sellout: The Major-Label Feeding Frenzy That Swept Punk, Emo, and Hardcore (1994-2007) by Dan Ozzi

#5 - Green Day on Letterman - "Basket Case" (1994)


In June 1994, only a couple months after the release of Dookie, Billie Joe walks up to the mic, says "Hi... this song's for 80" like they're playing somebody's basement, and then they tear through "Basket Case" on national television. It wasn't even a single yet - that wouldn't happen until August. I remember sitting outside of my high school in 2003 trying to steal wifi so I could torrent this video like a little obsessed delinquent.



That first performance would set the tone for what would become icon performances on Letterman, mostly because of the Tré's antics at the end of each set. Tré would usually ditch his drum kit and lunge at Dave's desk, which eventually led Letterman to joke that there was something wrong with their drummer.

Here's a bonus clip of Letterman talking about them years later on Colbert's "Late Show", with a compilation of the antics.


and to go full circle, here's Green Day talking about it



#4 - Isle of Wight Festival (June 2024)


This one is part of the Saviors Tour, which had them celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dookie and the 20th of American Idiot by playing both albums front to back every night. I wanted to include a performance from that tour because of how giant it was. The Isle of Wight set was a condensed festival version of that, but it still covered an insane amount of ground, and with a full production: flame throwers, a giant inflatable grenade, the works. 30+ years in and they're still the best live band doing it.


#3 - "Basket Case" - Live at Reading (2004)


This is the one you go back to when you want to understand what the American Idiot era was really about before it became a phenomenon. The Reading 2004 set was filmed in late August, just a few weeks before the album officially dropped, and you can feel it. The crowd is massive, the band is locked in, and there's this electricity in the whole thing. It was a hard launch for one of the biggest eras in Green Day's career.


Honorable mention from this same show, "We Are The Champions"


#2 - Milton Keynes (2005) - Bullet in a Bible


There's really no debate here. If someone asks you "what is a Green Day show like?", you send them this. Filmed over two nights at Milton Keynes Bowl in June 2005 for their first proper live CD/DVD release, Bullet in a Bible captures the American Idiot tour right at the top of its game. The "Holiday" performance from this set is basically the gold standard - the call and response, the energy, the crowd. I've shown this to people who weren't even Green Day fans and they got it immediately. That's how good this show was.


#1 - Woodstock 94


The one that started it all. In the summer of 1994, Green Day were still the new kids - Dookie had come out in February and they were riding that building wave, then Woodstock happened. The rain turned everything into a mud pit, the crowd completely lost their minds, and somewhere in the middle of all of it a massive mud fight broke out that swept up the band and half the audience. It was pure, unhinged chaos - and it was exactly the moment that turned them from a band people were starting to hear about into one that everyone was talking about. Thirty years later, this footage still holds up.


Honorable mention because I'm the one writing this. "Brutal Love" live at Reading 2013


This is one of those videos I find myself going back to randomly, usually late at night when I should be doing something else. Brutal Love is a slow-burn, it builds quietly before it opens up into something massive, and there's something about Billie Joe's voice on this particular night that just works. It doesn't have the chaos of the Woodstock set or the spectacle of Milton Keynes, but it's the kind of performance that sticks with you and highlights Billie's vocal abilities.

This high-speed, high-octane, super-charged thrill ride has been taken by the likes of Tom Brady, Simu Liu, Jon Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga, Channing Tatum and Rudy Pankow.

Meyer Shank Racing will also feature a special livery for the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda. Felix Rosenqvist will be driving a car decked out with Green Day's Idiot Nation branding for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.

This is all to help promote the launch of the new SiriusXM channel, Idiot Nation, which is officially starting up on April 20. The car features a mix of Acura and SiriusXM logos along with the Idiot Nation name across the front and side.



With Green Day featured on the No. 60 Honda, Meyer Shank Racing brings a bold, high-energy presence to the streets of Long Beach, blending the intensity of top-level motorsports with the global reach of rock music. Race day will carry that energy trackside as Tré Cool is set to attend Sunday's event as a guest of the team.

"This is a really exciting weekend for us," said Mike Shank. "It's a big moment with both IMSA and INDYCAR competing, and we're proud to represent Acura at their home race. To also have Green Day featured on the car and help promote the launch of their new SiriusXM channel makes it even more special."

The race is happening this Sunday, April 19. You can watch the broadcast on FOX starting at 5:30pm ET. Keep an eye out for the No. 60 car and Tre leading the start of the race. You can find more details about the race and the full schedule over on the IndyCar website.

They put it up at number three, only behind Goo by Sonic Youth and Nevermind by Nirvana. That's some pretty good company to be keeping. Other bands on the list include Blink 182, Sublime, and the Stone Temple Pilots.

The article talks about how Dookie basically revitalized punk for a new generation. It even mentions the album being preserved in the Library of Congress. They also gave some love to Kerplunk, Insomniac, and Nimrod for their influence on the scene.

I know it has been thirty years, but it's a little crazy to hear Dookie referred to as classic rock.

What do you think about the number 3 spot? Should it have been higher or is that about right? Let us know in the comments.

"We're digging into everything, including bands we love, old Green Day demos, live tracks, deep cuts, and telling the stories behind it all. Come hang with us and let it rip!

The statement from SiruisXM expanded:
Green Day's Idiot Nation is a true extension of the band's lifelong relationship with punk rock. With decades spent at the top of their game, Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré bring a deeply personal, artist-driven perspective to the channel, hand-selecting the music and sharing the stories behind it.

The channel plays everything from Green Day's earliest demos, covers, and live recordings to their biggest, stadium-shaking anthems, alongside essential punk tracks spanning generations, from genre-defining pioneers to new noise from up-and-coming bands.

  • He plays through parts of When I Come Around [11:04], Boulevard of Broken Dreams [21:48], and even newer tracks like 1981 [29:58], explaining why he prefers up-and-down picking over the "all downstroke" punk stereotype [15:34].
