But here’s Bullet in a Bible just in time for the holidays, the commercialistic addendum to Idiot's supposed apathetic anthems. More than a decade later, their superstardom is a mascara-clouded mess of sloganeering, middle age, and punk rock lip service, and the firebrand moments in 2004’s American Idiot diminish with every millionth unit shifted. But American Idiot’s rage seems more like artifice now, especially when it’s performed from a stage of Stonesian proportions.In theory Green Day’s still singing to those suburban mudslingers, the ’90s kids who grew up to find only apathy, fear, and nothingness beyond the fast food wrappers and blaring televisions.
And the backstage access to where you can see what the band does before and after their performances was a nice touch.The band was supported by Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, and Hard-Fi during their American Idiot world tour. Bullet in a Bible documents one of the two biggest shows that Green Day have performed in their career; they played in front of a crowd of over 130,000 people at the Milton Keynes National Bowl in United Kingdom on June 18–19, 2005. They might have meant to beat against the Head Redneck’s agenda, might have wanted to bury a punk rock pipe bomb at the intersection between populist politics and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The perfect punchy low end with a vast soundstage and complementary, but not overbearing, crowd noise. The interviews really got in deep, and made it to where you can kinda get to know the band a little better.
