Here we are for the second appointment dedicated to Green Day.

 

In 2001 and 2002, a new chapter in Green Day's history begins. In 2001, the band released a greatest hits album titled "International Superhits!", which includes two new tracks, "Maria" and "Poprocks & Coke," along with their most famous and top-selling singles. The following year, Green Day released another compilation titled "Shenanigans," this time consisting of B-sides. Among the tracks stands out "Outsider," a cover of the Ramones, and "Espionage," taken from the soundtrack of the film "Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me." The period between 2003 and 2006 marks a crucial moment for Green Day. After a brief hiatus, the band returns to the studio to work on a new album. Initially titled "Cigarettes and Valentines," the project was abandoned after the theft of the recording files. Instead of recreating the lost album, Green Day decides to start from scratch and work on a new project. In 2004, "American Idiot" was released, an album that quickly became an international success. Its complex narrative and powerful political statements make it a punk rock masterpiece. Singles like "American Idiot," "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" become instant classics and win numerous awards. After three years of touring and side projects, in 2009, Green Day returned to the studio to record their eighth album, "21st Century Breakdown," which debuted at the top of charts worldwide. This album, divided into three acts, showcases the band's continued experimentation both musically and narratively. The period between 2009 and 2011 sees Green Day continuing to innovate and explore new territories, including the musical "American Idiot." In 2011, they released the live album "Awesome as Fuck," recorded during their world tour for "21st Century Breakdown." This album captures the energy and enthusiasm of their live shows, showcasing the power and impact of their music in front of an audience.
