Well another year has gone by, and Mike Dirnt was once again nominated for "Sexiest Vegetarian of the Year" by some group. We aren't going to ask people to vote because Mike is not a vegetarian. Sexy? Yes. But he's a sexy meat eater.
Many of you have been asking where to get the song "Favorite Son". Well since the song was part of the Rock Against Bush compilation, you can't get the song individually, you have to get the entire CD unfortunatnly. We put up in a link in the merch section to get the album.
We mentioned sometime last year that Green Day's name would be on Brian Vickers car, #25. Thanks to one of our visitors we got some pictures in of the car. Their name is on the hood and side (click the picture on the left), and their picture is on the back. If you so desire to purchase a small version of the car, you can do that here.
We have posted the results of last weeks poll, where a record amount of you (just over 12,000) voted. Be sure to vote in this weeks question: "How long have you been listening to Green Day?".
You'll notice the "Search" button on the right side. Be sure to use it often when looking for stuff throughout GDA. It does a good job, I promise.
Hey everyone, as I mentioned a few days ago I've been working on re-building the merchandise section. Well now it's up. For the most part all I did was re-organize stuff, but there's a lot of new stuff as well. For example, be sure to check out the music page for links to buy all of the albums through iTunes or Buy.com. On that page are also all the b-sides lots of you have been asking for; Shoplifter, Governator, I Fought The Law, and a few live versions of some songs.
Well HappyGreen Day to you potheads who have nothing better to do but look at Green Day sites and get high. Smoke one up for me.
As we mentioned on the 17th, Green Day landed three spots on Kerrang's top 100 Music Videos. 1st, 20th, and 92nd. Our thanks to Ros for sending scans in for this weeks Kerrang! Magazine. Check them out below:
There are some new kickass Green Day posters that came out recently, including one for Bullet in a Bible and a new tall door poster; Both of which I can't wait to get my hands on. I'm currently revamping the merch section, but click here to check out some of the other new posters.
GDA now has an affiliation with iTunes. Soon you'll start seeing direct links within GDA to download Green Day material from iTunes. We're still working on implementing it into GDA, but for starters we've put a link in the new Network section. You can purchase The Network's Money Money 2020 on iTunes: click here. And you can also view their page for Green Day with all the material they have up for download by clicking here.

Green Day is (unfortunately) in the newest 'Pop Star' magazine. We've scanned the pages Green Day is on so you don't have to buy the god-awful magazine.
