Green Day Cover Rolling Stones On Jimmy Fallon

Hey Everyone!

In case you missed it, Green Day did a pretty sweet cover of The Rolling Stones Classic "Rip This Joint". The performance was part of a week long celebration of the Rolling Stones album Exile On Main Street. The cover is really upbeat, and even if it is a cover, it sounds a lot like classic Green Day meets Foxboro Hot Tubs. The celebration of the band's 10th studio album is the result of its re-release. Check out Green Day's take on "Rip This Joint" below!

What did you think? I would love to see them play this live, they look like they're having a blast with it!

Exam Dance Break Day 4

Hey Everyone!

So today for the exam dance break, I have a side of Green Day you may not recognize... its a side project called The Foxboro Hot Tubs. This particular clip is from a performance on Last Call with Carson Daily. Its 2 songs... Stop Drop & Roll, and Mother Mary. I love it because the music is just fun, and the band's performance reflects it completely. If you are unfamiliar with this side project (one of many), they came together with this in between American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. The idea was just to write and release something totally different, but to not use the Green Day name so that people understood that this was not the direction they were going permanently. They like to experiment musically, and this is one example of that. As much as I adore Green Day shows, I'd love to see something like this... no inhibition, no seriousness, no politics, just FUN. 

What do you think?
