| | Featuring Green Day's first live DVD, the CD + DVD Bullet in a Bible captures the explosive band on the biggest tour in its career, in support of the Grammy-winning, quadruple-platinum, #1 charting American Idiot punk-rock epic. From two performances filmed in June 2005 before 65,000 fans, both in Milton Keynes in England, to the DVD's documentary segments following the band members around that city as they visit a war museum and various pubs, and share in-depth insights on the making and meaning of American Idiot, Green Day is #1 with a Bullet in a Bible.
The DVD features a Video of the performance with documentary behind-the-scenes footage.
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Green Day: Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar); Mike Dirnt (vocals, bass guitar); Tre Cool (drums). | | Additional personnel: Jason White , Mike Pelino (guitar, background vocals); Ron Blake (horns, percussion, background vocals); Jason Freese (keyboards, background vocals). | | Despite the fact that they lifted nearly all their musical moves wholesale from 1970s and '80s punk-pop bands like the Undertones, the Descendents, and the Buzzcocks, Green Day proved a surprisingly vital and relevant force on the rock scene of the '90s and 2000s. The band's politically-pointed 2004 rock opera AMERICAN IDIOT showed the band to be more ambitious than previously thought, and this 2005 live album and DVD bear witness to a band rocking out at their commercial and creative peak. | | Despite the fact that they lifted nearly all of their musical moves wholesale from 1970s and '80s punk-pop bands like the Undertones, the Descendents, and the Buzzcocks, Green Day proved to be a surprisingly vital and relevant force on the rock scene of the '90s and 2000s.

Both the DVD and the CD--which include key selections from AMERICAN IDIOT and the band's breakthrough DOOKIE, among others--underscore not only what a tight, professional unit the trio has become, but the rabid enthusiasm of their fanbase (the audience sings along with practically every lyric). BULLET IN A BIBLE may be the sound of punk gone mainstream, but it's still plenty of fun. |
