Ultimate Guitar.com has been running a series of "Complete Guides" to individual songs and they've featured Green Day's "Holiday" off American Idiot for their 3rd feature. The feature talks about the song's chart history (#1 Mainstream Rock Jun 2005, #19 Billboard 100 May 2005), the meaning behind the song, and much more information. Also with Green Day's performance of the sound at the KROQ Sound Space.



They also feature a section about instruments, amps, and pedals used to get a similar sound for the song and videos of how to play. It's a very in-depth article and I'm very happy with this coming from Ultimate Guitar.
