[pic=Billie Joe in Sydney]030214_greenday_sydney_australia.jpg[/pic]Green Day is preparing to play their final Australian show today as part of the Soundwave festival. To mark the occasion here's a review from VMusic.com talking about each of the bands that have performed this year. The review is based off the performances in Sydney last week.

Here's what they say about Green Day:

epic build ups, and huge crescendos - it was a master class of stadium festival rock. Billie Joe Armstrong's voice is more superb than it's ever been and their stagecraft was impeccable. They were like the Bruce Springsteens of punk rock. With a set full of classics from their 20-year career, including a fair smattering of Dookie songs, they didn't leave a single fan disappointed. And finishing their set/the day off with 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)' - punk rock perfection.


Check out the full review and what they had to say about other bands.
