[img=110311_kerrang.jpg]Green Day get a glowing review in the latest issue of Kerrang magazine. They are ranked 2nd out of 20 in the magazine's "Greatest Live Bands" - this time they're "the runner up, but the first one to lose the race" to German band Rammstein. The write up for Green Day makes you wonder how anyone can top them:

[quote]Really, the only thing missing from Green Day's live show is a singing kitchen sink. Otherwise, everything - and, really, we mean everything is covered. Want a bit in the show where fans from the crowd clamber on stage and form their own band? Check. Would you like a section where the musicians lay on the floor and play so quietly that Billie Joe Armstrong is able to lead the audience through parts of songs such as Hey Jude and Champagne Supernova? You got it. Wanna hoist your mobile phones and cigarette lighters in the air to compositions of the beauty and quality of Last Night On Earth and Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)? Sure thing, and would you like a 3 hour set that has the space for the band to spend almost an hour freestyling their way through older classics such as 2000 Light Years Away and Going To Pasalacqua? Well, you're in luck. Since returning to the world's largest venues with 2004's American Idiot, no band has quite mastered what it takes to perform in a stadium quite as well as Green Day. Not only do the Oakland Trio make what they do appear effortless, but better yet they understand as instinct that their show is only as good as it appears from the cheapest seats in the room. In this, they are the undisputed stadium kings.[/quote]
The magazine is mostly only available in the UK, but if you'd be interested in getting a copy, send an e-mail to tony@greendayauthority.com - we're looking in to the possibility of distributing these through GDA.
