Green Day corrects Linda Perry rumours

Posted by aubin on Wednesday, June 6, 2007 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

In a fairly quick turnaround, Green Day's management has reportedly denied Courtney Love's statement that the band was recording with Non Blond, Linda Perry. The band is apparently sticking with producer Rob Cavallo who has been with the band through their major label career.

After the massive commercial and critical success of American Idiot, anticipation for the band's next record is high. The band has not even confirmed whether it'll be another rock opera, however.

I propose that we start a rumour that the album will include nothing but covers of Elizabethan-era lute music. But no one would do that.

I wouldn't keep your hopes up.

Also, I hate to say this, but Spurs in 4....unless the refs are REALLY involved in helping the NBA money machine that is Lebron James, and then it's Cavs in 6.

tHere are rumors that the network is working on a new album.

The police siren on "Supermodel Robots" was the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard in my life. That album is hysterical.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

is Money Money 20/20 even still in print? I thought last time i checked interpunk to buy it it was not. anyone?

Someone (June 6, 2007)

It's on warner now and interpunk doesn't sell cds on major labels.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

ah that can't be right. they have tons of major label albums (fall out boy, blink 182, ramones, clash, every green day album on reprise).

mindfuckamerica (June 6, 2007)

No longer in print, but still sold by Adeline Records.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

Are you suggesting that a Devo pastiche band is anywhere near as good as Pinhead Gunpowder? Cometbus farting is better than the Network. Hell, and I even like that band.

notfeelingcreative (June 6, 2007)

I second that.

Wentz_Equals_Death (June 6, 2007)

me too!

Someone (June 6, 2007)

I wouldn't be surprised if Aaron finally lived up to his lifestyle and, like Mike did oh so long ago, disowned the band because of Jason and Billie's blatantly willful status as corporate superstars. I can see justifying the compromise up until Warning, but the mainstream whorage of American Idiot surely turned Cometbus off.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

I want them to correct the rumor about their recent appearance on American idol and them being sell outs.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

They did sell out

Selling out is a common slang phrase. Broadly speaking, it refers to the compromising of one's integrity, morality and principles in exchange for money, success or other personal gain

Someone (June 6, 2007)

gee thanks dante

doomcloud (June 6, 2007)

dood, greenday has been sellouts since their mtv debut in 94

you're just going to face the fact that if you like this band then you're just as bad as american idol watchers

Someone (June 6, 2007)

wiggidy whoooooo
that statement is a little over the top. If I like Greenday I am as bad as American Idol viewers? come on man

doomcloud (June 6, 2007)

10-4

leecorsoisapenis (June 6, 2007)

Remember that one time when they sold out and released a major label album called "Dookie?" Yeah, me too. Who knows where I'd be if I hadn't bought that album in 6th grade. Grow up with your sellout bullshit. That shit was old when I was 15.

Banal242 (June 6, 2007)

It'd be more effective if it were a "rumor."

I heard it was going to be 40 minutes of Gregorian chants.

JayTee (June 6, 2007)

Green Day are obnoxious. They usually end up saying fuck off, this is what you're getting from us (and end up pleasing the crowd). I vote for Insomniac Part 2. Raw, fast and not a single guitar solo.

It really doesn't matter what they claim their new album is about because I know I wrote it 10 years ago when I was working as a bagboy at Safeway.

That second part is actually true. However, the first part is a lie, I wrote Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight...and I'm sorry.

See, those assholes, I wrote that song when we started that popcorn chicken thing in the late 90s and I was curious.

I laughed

Ghost_of_D_Boon (June 6, 2007)

In a related sidebar, Courtney Love swore again and again that it was true, in between snorting lines of ground-up Percosets mixed with Ajax cleanser.

And that Sting album is pretty cool too.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

Yipee skipee!

I like Nested better than Thread.

fallingupwards84 (June 6, 2007)

agreed with the guy above me... the best thing this band could possibly do to follow-up American Idiot would be an Insomniac-sounding record - simple, snotty, and raw

if they try to make another American Idiot record, it will only disappoint
hopefully they realize this

Considering the enormous success of American Idiot, just about anything this band does on their next record is going to be called a disappointment.

Matt Riddle of No Use really hated American Idiot. He went off about it when I interviewed him last year. It's some funny shit! I don't wanna spam, but... cough... blog!... cough. Seriously funny shit!

there are only a few songs that are ripoffs and i dont really care about it. i never noticed a beatles or motley crue sound-alike, though. "Letterbomb" more than make up for them.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

I do know for a fact that Green Day recorded with Linda Perry, but only as a sort of "interview" type thing. I guess they decided to stay with Rob.

PS. Does she like hairy or shaved armpits?

Shorethang (June 7, 2007)

I have seen Green Day at Kung Fu Gardens Studio in Burbank, which is owned by Linda Perry......why is that?

Someone (June 7, 2007)

maybe... maybe if they DID record with ms. perry, they'd turn into a shitty one-semi-hit-blunder and disappear into the haze of this decade like her terrible excuse for a band did in the nineties...

oh, wait...

no.

then billie joe might come out of his crevice and try to produce some other band that will sell out in two years' time...!

holy shit. i'm clairvoyant.

history repeating itself...? this kinda shit only happens in movies.
