Billie Joe is on the cover of this months "Guitar Legends" magazine. They chose "Wake Me Up" as one of the biggest songs of the year. Inside (pg. 80) they have 'Wake Me Up' written out with all the guitar tab. There is also a decent sized poster of Billie Joe inside (view). So if you're intrested go out and buy it. You can click the cover on the left to view it full size.
We now have just over 2500 photo's up in the fan art section. A lot of the work is really amazing. I invite you guys to check it out, and if you'd like come and talk about it here.
Gibson will be coming out with a Billie Joe Les Paul JR Signature Series sometime later this year (click image on right to expand). As you may know, Mike already has his Fender Signature Bass, and back in 1998 'Slingerland' put out the Tré Cool Spitfire Signature Series (view) Seems like we nearly got a Green Day line of instruments going.
You guys can vote for Green Day in the NME Awards for "Best International Band" here.
We've added some more Green Day and Adeline merchandise to the merch page.
Hey everyone. Make sure to check out www.greenday.com as they have a nice long post with tons of stuff about awards and things they were nominated for this past year. Rather than trying to summarize or quote it, just check it out for yourselves.

Hey you sexy mother fuckers. Mike is on the cover of this months Bass Guitar magazine. The article is an interview with Mike and producer Rob Cavallo about the bass sound in American Idiot.
There are a couple pages of Green Day in this weeks Kerrang! Magazine. Mostly about their live show, but also a small blurb about their old drummer John Kiffmeyer. Our thanks to Ros for sending in these scans of the articles to GDA.
Have you ever wanted to see Billie kick someone's ass? Well we have a short clip of Billie jumping into the crowd at a show in 1997 in Fillmore, CA. Apparently the guy was being a jackass with other people, but we can't really tell. Anyways, watch for yourself, it's pretty inspiring. Click here to download, then talk about the video here.
For all you MySpace lovers we have created a GDA MySpace Group for you to join, talk, and meet with other Green Day fans on there.
As hesitant as I am to ask, we need your help. Our bills have come in, and last month wasn't a very good month of income for GDA since we were gone most of the month. Our server bills are up to $450 this month, and we would appreciate any donations. That $450 is for our main server, forum server, and our media server (which is in the process of being setup). We appreciate any help from you guys.
Well it sure didn't take you guys long to get the comments banned. Remember, this section is for fun, and it is a look-alike page, it's not an identical twin page. It is for fun, and it is for people who either hear they look like one of them member, or think they do. That does not mean every characteristic looks the same. Open up your imagination for a minute and have fun.
This week's Fan of the Week has been updated. Congrats to Melanie.
After redesigning a page for the lookalikes, we finally have it up and running. Check out the page here. It is set up very differently now. It is set up as a rating system - there is no winner. I know you have all seen the 'hot or not' pages, and this is like it. So make sure to have fun with it. You can leave comments as well. There is a login part to it which is only important if you wish to upload your own lookalike images. You can login and upload your own images, or an easier alternative is just to email me with the picture, and i will size it for you and put it up. Enjoy
Green Day has won the "Best International Group" award The Rock Bear "Rockbjörn" in Sweden.

We have rebuilt the extra media section with a new player and more organized layout. We will be adding more media to that player next week sometime.
Another new addition to GDA, the CD Reviews. This will be occasionally updated with some albums that other Green Day fans have reviewed, and will hopefully help expose more people to even more good music. If you are interested in writing up an album review for GDA, click here for more info. Our thanks to those that donated this month.

A note about the logo contest. After seeing several of the entries, i want to remind you that you are trying to make GDA a logo. Not a banner, or a graphic. We don't want 7 of Green Day's logos in a pretty compilation. We want our own, distinct logo.

We're looking for you people out there who are really talented in drawing or graphic design. What we need is logo for GDA. Make sure to read the rules so we don't get entries that aren't even what we are looking for. Make sure to include you name and email address so if you are to win, we can contact you. The contest will run until Feb. 28, and the winner will win a 4GB iPod Nano. Click here for more.

Billie says the break is to "find the inspiration to find another record", and they'll slowly get back into the studio later this year. He says not to expect anything to soon.
