[img=011112_mike.jpg]Green Day have once again been included in a Gibson Top-10 list. Today, they're counting down the ten best rhythm sections and Green Day's track "Longview" has made the cut. Coming in at number nine, Gibson gives props to Mike and Tré for their bass and drum tandem.

Green Day have never shied away from letting their rhythm section shine. Just listen to the opening riff of "Longview," dancing along with Mike Dirnt's buoyant walking bass-line and Tre Cool's shuffle. While Billie Joe Armstrong often is the face of Green Day, his anti-establishment croons and poppy melodies would have no oomph without Dirnt and Cool behind them, and songs like "Minority" and "American Idiot" would easily lose their punch.


The full list can be read over on Gibson's site by clicking here.

Yesterday, Gibson counted down the "10 Great Albums that were Shelved or Abandoned" and Cigarettes and Valentines was included. We posted that story here on GDA and you can check it out here.
