Green Day picked up the 'Roc Da Mic' award from TRL. With an award name like that, it's no wonder today's youth are going stupid.
We have added the super cool popular download "Boulevard of Broken Songs" in the extra media section (#21), along with the lyrics and info about the remix.
We want to thank everyone who donated for the Grammy Honor's ad. We've made enough to send in a full page, black and white ad that will be in the program book.
A reminder that the logo contest ends in three days. Also you can stream all the extra media audio while browsing any website from the GDA Toolbar. Check out the other features it has.
We were notified that we now have till Tuesday of next week to accept donations for the ad, opposed to the deadline we thought was today. So we have a few extra days to accept donations; if you are intrested click here.
The turnout of support we've gotten from you guys for the Grammy honors ad has been really great. We're nearing 60% of our total goal, and we thank all of you who have already donated. Just a reminder that our deadline for donations is about 24 hours away, so if you're planning on helping out, be sure to get it in before then.
Also, the GDA Logo Contest for the iPod will be ending in less than 4 days. The contest will end the last day of this month, and the winner will be announced sometime in March after we've had time to go through all the entries. Be sure if you want your logo in there to submit it before the deadline.
Green Day will be honored March 19th in San Francisco by The Recording Academy. GDA was contacted to see if we were intrested in buying a spot inside the ceremony's 'program book' to say something to Green Day. We're trying to raise enough money to send in an image with a "Congrats" or "Thanks" type of thing, but we need your help. If you're intrested in helping us out, click here.
Edit: Also, the Fan of the Week has been updated this week. Congrats to Holly.
Yes. Finally. We have some new quiz questions to try here. Try the lyric and fact quizzes. We apologize for the lack of quiz updates, and expect them more frequently now.
Also, a quick reminder about the contest for an iPod nano. We are still accepting logo entries here. Thanks to everyone who has submitted thus far. We will post the winner shortly after the contest ends.
Green Day picked up the Grammy for "Record of the Year" with Boulevard of Broken Dreams. You can download the video of the acceptance speech here.
Billie Joe also presented the award for "Rock Album of the Year" with Gwen Stefani to U2. You can download that video here. (to download the videos click the links, wait about 50 seconds and on the top right you'll see "Click here to download". Just click that link and it will prompt you to save the video)
Green Day also joined the "Grammy Auctions" for the Grammy Foundation. You can bid on an autographed Epiphone here.
So as you guys kicked Mariah Carey out of the water before, we come today with another chance for you to shine.
Head over to MTV's Vote'n Win page. Click on the first button on the top left (which apparently says 'Vote n' Win). Each time you go to quick vote, a new category comes up, so be sure to get them for 'Best Group', 'Best Rock Video', and 'Video of the Year'.
Also, for those of you who didn't already get the GDA Toolbar, be sure to check that out. Why not listen to any of the GDA Extra media tunes without even being on GDA, or even while looking at other sites.
Be sure to watch the Grammy's tomorrow night at 8pm EST/PST on CBS. Green Day is nominated for 'Record of the Year'. If they win, be sure to come back to GDA and we'll try have up their acceptance speech right away. If they don't win, then we'll gather up and go trash something. Boulevard of Broken Dreams is on the "Grammy Nominees" CD (track 2).
We got the newsletter working again (sorry for the delay in the last one), so be sure to sign up for here.

Green Day is in the newest "M" magazine. There's a full page picture of Billie (click the image to the left), and a page about Bilile and Adie. Click here. They also have his birthday on there coming up this month, and a stupid little "blog rumor" about Green Day and Fall Out Boy. Don't waste your money buying it. Editors, stop putting Green Day in little girl magazines.

Green Day is also in the February 13th issue of "People Magazine". The short article basically says what we already know, that Green Day should win "Record of the year" at the Grammy's. Read the scan here.
Don't know if you want to buy Live Freaky Die Freaky yet? Well I've written a review for the movie, you can make your own judgement.
Green Day is in the recent Kerrang in an article titled "Blink 182 vs. Green Day". The article talks about when the two bands toured together. Here's a nice quote from Tré. "We were worried Blink would quit the tour because they were getting smoked so badly."
Update: Our thanks to Ros for (again) sending us the scans. Page 1 | Page 2

Hey everyone. I'm here to give you something to celebrate. Twelve years ago today, Dookie was released. To all of us who bought Dookie that day and became Green Day fans, have a beer. Hell, if you became a Green Day fan before then, have a beer as well. :)
Happy February everyone. Live Freaky Die Freaky finally came out yesterday in the USA and Canada (the director is still working on getting the movie released elsewhere around the world). Be sure to buy your copy. We'll post a review of the movie in a couple days.
Let me introduce you all to to latest addition to GDA. We now have a toolbar for you all to add. The toolbar lets you check for any GDA news updates without even going to the site.

The GDA staff can also send messages with site updates, server information and all that information. Also, if you follow the installation instructions you can see how to use it to search GDA. Enjoy
update: The link for Firefox was incorrect, but it works fine now. Sorry for the trouble
The fan tattoo's layout has been updated to work with Firefox and Mac users.
Hey everyone, lets not forget tomorrow is the release for Live Freaky Die Freaky. This month's spin magazine has an article about the upcoming movie. Read the article. Thanks to 'Anna A' for sending it to us.
GDA now has an affliation with ebtm.com. With that new affliation we are adding more stuff to our Green Day Merch page. We've started by adding 5 new shirts. Though the prices are shown in £ (they are a UK based company), they do ship worldwide.
