Green Day Hit The Road

Filed under: Music Minute

wenn639451.jpg

First the first time ever, Green Day's "alter-ego" side, the Foxboro Hot Tubs, is set to hit the road.

Starting next Monday, May 19th, Foxboro Hot Tubs are going on tour. They will begin performing in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The eight day trek will have tickets for sale but will only be available at the venue's box office on the day of the show.

Tickets are $20 and cash only.

We have no problem with cash, but sucks to show up to the concert and not get in because tickets sold out.

The single, Stop Drop and Roll, from the band's new album, Mother Mary, has peaked at number 16 on the Billboard's Modern Rock chart.

The single will go on sale on May 20th.

      Maybe its so scalpers cant buy them all in advance and sell them for more profit that the band cant get a cut of…

      24

      Well, they played support acto in the 90s in Germany for DIE TOTEN HOSEN, Germany's most successful (punk)rock group….and Green DAy were definitely punk - and their live performances were GREAT (they were still completely unknown in Germany back then) and I just love their song and video "American Idiot"! I never miss their concerts when they come to Germany. :-) )

      What, no Bay Area show, and they live here. I see Billy Joe and his son at the market all the time. I love their new stuff.

      OK, since when do bands have alter-ego's???? Why can't they just play as themselves. Um, does anyone remember when Garth Brooks did this?? Look how well that turned out. C'mon Green Day…you can do better than Garth Brooks! I'm very disapointed!

      BillyJoe…best neighbor I have ever had. The guy is cool! The rest of the country don't know about what it is like to grow up in the east bay and make it……BIG! Always will be a fan

    47. YOURMOM says – reply to this


      47

      as a matter of fact i am a green day, and i also like this alter ego of theirs. Its different and pretty good. I didn't know Green day had it in them to create a new type of Beatle music.

      Okay WOW wearing EYELINER IS GAY! How does that get to do with anything? Atleast they don't care what you think and have GUTS to wear what they want. Apperance is something you see its not something that DEFINES you.

      if punk music never changed then there would be NO punk music it'll all be done. SO yeah, maybe green day's punk music isn't "real" punk to you but WHO CARES. ITS A GENRE! Its IRRELEVANT to the situation people. Geesh.

      They look so old! It's horrible and scary. Please put the make up away and focus on making a different record to the one you've been releasing and re-releasing over again for the last 10 years.

      just so everyone knows…
      their albums came out a few months ago, for FREE dl, on their website..
      i don't know if it's still up…
      but yeah, the entire album was free.

      luv ya perez!~

      55

      What the fuck happened to them?

      And the scalpers thing — not that I care, but give it a break. I wouldn't spend a newly printed dollar on Green Day, let alone twenty bucks — cash or credit. Green Day supposedly started because they love to perform & make music & all that cliche crap that every band says until they make it big. Greedy much?

      THANK YOU Perez. You are so groovy for that. I live in Little Rock and would have never known that was them. I have since visited their myspace page, bought and downloaded their new rockin' album and will be there at Juanita's on the 19th. I am listening now and you have made my day!!!!!

      66

      you have since heard about them? damn…I was in their first 300 friends on myspace before it became 16 000 in just a few months. PEREZ! "Mother Mary" is the SINGLE and "Stop Drop and Roll" is the ALBUM! gosh! please get your info right next time you post news about a great band…uch…shame…and stop it with the homophobic shit people. grow up. seriously. If they sucked, they wouldn't be at the top of the charts all the time and selling millions of records. They deserve it. AI was a masterpiece in more ways than one.

    67. Billie Joe's Entourage says – reply to this


      67

      Also, they ARE playing a show in the Bay area. It's the first date on the tour. It was announced just the other day on GDA so Perez didn't know.

      The Foxboro Hot Tubs
      May 15th - Stork Club - OAKLAND

      and there's another on the 16th at Toot's Tavern in CROCKETT California
      (dunno if that's bay area or not, I live in Canada)

      Re: Ashley –

      GREEDY!? Madonna charges $300 FUCKING DOLLARS to see her, and no offense, but she can't sing live for SHIT! only 20 dollars to see Green Day? That's less than any big bands. Heck I paid 50$ to see a smaller canadian band in Febrauary. You're such a fuktard. Also, they released half of the FHT album for FREE!!! and what about Billie Joe's sideband? It was only SIX DOLLARS to see them live! god. how selfish can YOU be!? asshole.

      Re: hardly –

      Do you know ANYTHING about them? Avril grew up in a small hicktown in my province. She sang choir in church and shit. She doesn't know what real punk is, shes just pop shit. Green Day grew up playing with real punk bands (bad religion, rancid, dead kennedys etc) at 924 Gilman in the underground punk scene in Cali. Do your research before trying to say something that you think will make you smart.

      Re: ha ha –

      Any fan would know that they aren't married to any celebrities and certainly not those two. (of course you're just a hater who knows nothing about them) It's fucking Derek Whibley from shit41 who is married to that retard. BJ is the only one married, and his wife is more gorgeous than both of those two put together and photoshopped LMAO.

      Re: jaysus – It's like a newspaper starting a story on the first page and then running across three other pages. You see a lot more ads in the paper that way. The more clicks you make, the more hits and impressions perez's site and the advertisers can have. After the jump is just to show you more ads.
