Green Day: Bullet in a Bible

Now, as a green day fan, i didn't know what to expect while watching this. But after doing so, i can confidently say that was the most well-spent 1 hour and 30 minutes of my life.

This entire film sums up the 2000s pop punk scene. If you missed it, or weren't alive for it, all you need to do is watch one clip of this. There's billie joe masturbating on stage, fan interviews, both hilarious and thought-provoking behind the scenes insight from each of the band members, (see drummer tre cool's quote: "no man can eat 50 eggs) and did i mention the amazing music and infectious stage presence?

If you're out there reading this review, stop procrastinating. Drop what you're doing and watch this because trust me, you won't regret it. Well, if you can handle the "i said heyyyy-ohhhh!'s every 5 minutes from the frontman, that is.

The last comment about this live film kind of over shot it. This isn't specifically a momentous green day show as far as content. The only amazing out of the ordinary thing is how any people it's played to. This set is what they play just about every time out minus when I come around, jaded, she, and they cut out the portion when Billie pulls three fans from the crowd to play knowledge. It's a good surface live DVD and a good surface documentary. Perhaps they make a full on concert DVD next time and a full on documentary. Though the split in it's approach takes away from what it could be it's still good, but it's not insanely entertaining for anyone who has ever seen the band play live, on this tour at least.

This show is amazing!!! Bullet in a bible is the first ever official DVD to be distributed by Green Day. Green Day puts on a rock production filled with pyrotechnics, unbelievable energy, and nonstop action that would surprise even the most loyal green day fan. The concert takes place at Milton Keynes bowl in the U.K. in front of 65,000 fans, where only few other rock bands like The Rolling Stones and U2 have had sold out shows. The DVD features over 100 minutes of exclusive performance, behind-the-scenes footage, and candid interviews with each band member. It is definitely something every Green Day or Punk Rock fan needs to watch!!

I have been a massive Green Day fan since summer 2005, and since then my love for Billie, Mike and Tre has increased dramatically! After watching Green Day perform at Milton Keynes, I realise one of my main ambitions in life is to one day see my idols rock the world, to experience the overwhelming excitement, that only Green Day can promote. For me it's debatable if anyone can come close to Green Day's standard of performing live. The way Billie interacts with the audience is simply incredible, as the show progresses he builds everyone up until they burst into euphoric ecstasy. They perform every blockbuster hit to a new level and standard not seen before. Some people stereotype Green Day and underestimate them for promoting the Punk Image, but Green Day also promote people to stick up for themselves, and to not conform to rules and regulations, especially from any government, or any other corrupt higher power. The interviews with the band are also fascinating, as it gives you a deep insight to the preparation of the show and backstage area. Green Day have forever transcended the music scene, they have raised the barrier of limitations, and have shown the sky is the limit. Green Day Forever Rule!!

I was a little disappointed. I didn't like some of the camera angles. Some either took to much attention of what they were saying and other angles focused it to much on Billie Joe. It was good, the performance. But some things were just off. The DVD seemed a little rushed how it would just skip from talking to the concert. Sam Bayer is a good director but I think he tried to hard on this DVD, and was a little exaggerated. It was a little odd as in when Billie Joe talked it focused mainly on his mouth. I think they should have centered the cameras on Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool since you didn't see them as much. Sincerely
