Green Day: ¡Tre! - coming 1/15 [Official Trailer With Album Cover]

Tre review from thecelebrityreview.com

Green Day is finishing up their recent trilogy of releases with Tre! set to release on December 11. It may be my personal opinion, but I feel this is the worst album of the trilogy.Uno! was okay, a little pop, but had its moments, Dos! I was a big fan of, definitely the best of the three, it set up a lot of anticipation for me to hear what Tre! had to offer and it simply fell short of expectations.

Listening through this album, it has the same vibe that a good portion of Uno!offered. Just some bland rock songs, nothing too standout. The only real standouts on the album include a piano ballad in “The Forgotten” which was released as the single way back to November 11. It’s something different from the band but it just doesn’t really hook me when I hear it.

The bright spot of this album has to fall onto the track “Dirty Rotten Bastards.” This song is an awesome gritty rock-along song. It may not be too deep but it’s enjoyable, and very high energy. In a bland album, this track stands out. It’s fun to listen to, and offers some solid solos from Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt.

Other notable decent tracks may be found in “X-Kid” and “Sex, Drugs & Violence,” but even those aren’t too standout.

I can’t say much more about the album, I’m a little let down. Not to take anything away from Green Day, they can really do whatever they want this far down the road of stardom and still sell. Tre! is the band's 11th studio album, and Green Day has such a wide variety of a fan base that this album will find a home in many a fan’s hearts, just not this one.

I say give it a listen regardless. Green Day is Green Day, you know what you’re getting most of the time. You may find interest in it, but I’d say really the only song you might need to hear off the album is “Dirty Rotten Bastards.” I still highly recommend Dos!, and Uno! is worth a listen. To come out with so much music in such a short span of time, it has to fall into weaker space at some point. However, it seems like Green Day’s never done, and I’m glad, and I look forward to what they eventually come out with next, but with personal troubles of members, it may not be for a while. I love Green Day, I don’t love Tre!.

Green Day – “Dirty Rotten Bastards”:

TRE! Album review by HitFix blog

After releasing two albums of raw and ready rock since September, the party’s over, or at least on its last legs, on “Tre!,” the third in Greenday’s trilogy, out today.

The exhilaration on " Uno, " released in September, and "Dos!,” out last month,  has been replaced with a certain weariness, but the dozen tunes here still have plenty of bite. Performed at a much slower, less hyper speed than the songs on the first two sets, “Tre!” provides some food for thought for those who have stayed too long too often, while also serving an an excellent showcase for Billie Joe Arnstrong’s often plaintive vocals.

Opening with country-tinged waltz “Brutal Love,” most of the songs on “Tre!” come with a tinge of regret whether it’s over a lost love on the horn-laced “Missing You” or a lost childhood (at any age) on the pulsing “X-Kid.”

The band’s familiar quick-tempo-ed bounce returns on the power poppy “Sex, Drugs and Violence,” which is doubly likable for the line:  “Well, I don’t want to be an imbecile, but Jesus made me that way.”

The most interesting cut is the six-minute “Dirty Rotten Bastards,” which is about four songs in one. The tune, which would have sounded right at home on “21st Century Breakdown,” opens with a sing-songy militant bounce before progressing to some serious guitar shredding bolstered by Tre Cool’s relentless drumming,  then shifting into a melodic mid-tempo lament to “all God’s losers,” before majestically bending into a slower section.

The album closes with a piano ballad, “The Forgotten,” which sounds like Green Day crossed with Oasis, and will be familiar with "Twight" fans for its inclusion on the soundtrack for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2."  Green Day doesn't do happy particularly well, but they've got pissed off, bittersweet, and disenchanted down.

The three albums work as a piece, but also stand confidently on their own individually. Of the three, “Tre” will appeal to Green Day fans who like their music a little more contemplative than mindless.

lime wire review for tre

Green Day have got love on the brain, while their toes are firmly dipped in the influences of eras gone by on ‘¡Dos!, the second album of their new trilogy. The disc even has a old-school pacing, clocking in at just under 40 minutes, but taking 13 tracks to get there. The quick-hitting nature of the songs makes the album a more immediate listen that seems to fly by.

‘¡Dos!’ comes across as a more cohesive collection than its predecessor (‘¡Uno!’) both lyrically and musically. The first part of the album follows the story of a man pursuing the girl that seems out of reach and the eventual comedown that follows, while the latter portion allows for a few steps outside the lyrical storyline.

Album opener ‘See You Tonight’ and closer ‘Amy’ perfectly bookend the album with a restrained Green Day dipping into what feels like ’60s era Everly Brothers territory. The disc digs in with the out and out pursuit of the young woman on ‘F— Time,’ a song that almost brings to mind teens dancing the twist and a Georgia Satellites guitar lick thrown in in for good measure while singer Billie Joe Armstrong begins the courting process.

‘Stop When the Red Lights Flash’ continues the process, with the boast, “Out of sight, out of mind, just give me one more time, I’ll make you surrender.” For those looking for radio singles, ‘Stop When the Red Lights Flash’ seems like an obvious choice. But the wheels begin to come off with ‘Ashley,’ a frenetic track about the young woman of the singer’s desires falling further out of reach both romantically and in his desired interest.

Highlights on the album include Armstrong’s exhausted lament on ‘Lazy Bones,’ a track that stands out from the rest of the disc and could potentially be its biggest single. Another standout, ‘Makeout Party,’ provides a showcase for drummer Tre Cool, who gets to steer away from keeping the beat to offer drum fills with reckless abandon while bassist Mike Dirnt fuels the song’s breakdown midway through.

Current single ‘Stray Heart‘ was an obvious choice for radio play as well, as the bouncy feel of the track reflects the sound of ’80s era The Jam or more recently Weezer’s poppy side. It’s straight-up ear candy that instantly connects and is the poppiest track of a very commercial sounding release.

For those looking for the hard-edged snarl of some of Green Day’s mid-2000s music, this album is not likely the place for you, but ‘¡Dos!’ does work extremely well as an infectious pop record with touches of early rock influences.

Green Day will put a bow on the trilogy with the release of ‘¡Tre!’ on Dec. 11.

Green Day Get In Touch With Inner MCs On Album Trilogy

'I'm not rapping ... I'm the hype man,' Billie Joe Armstrong says of hip-hop track on upcoming ¡Dos! album.

From the minute Green Day started talking about their ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tre!trilogy, they seemingly wanted to make one point clear: These albums were going to be nothing like American Idiot or 21st Century Breakdown.

"The last two albums ... sort of bookend each other, and it's the end of that era," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told MTV news last month. "I think with writing these three albums ... we just started writing songs, just getting back to basics."

And while that may be true about ¡ Uno!'s pro-party first single,  "Oh Love", even the guys in Green Day will admit that the new album hassome similarities to American Idiot ... mostly in the form of "Kill the DJ," a spiky slab of dance punk that, title aside, echoes many of the sentiments contained on that politically charged record.

"It's more [about] the static that's in the air ... it's kind of a subject matter that's always been a part of our songs; it's very similar to American Idiotin subject matter," Armstrong said. "Because you're just getting all this false information coming from all directions. And then there's sort of a decadent, party atmosphere that goes along with it, so there's that kind of static and noise that goes on. So it's sort of like walking through the noise, high as hell."

Then again, there are plenty of other moments on the trilogy that are about as far removed from Idiot or Breakdown as you can get. Take, for example, ¡Dos!'s explorations of hip-hop, which not only prove that Green Day are trying to move on from their political past, but that they're willing to try anything once.

"There's this band called Mystic Knights Of The Cobra, and they come from the same small town we do, around Crockett, California," Armstrong said. "[They have a singer] named Monica Painter, aka Lady Cobra ... and she's a good rapper, so we ended up collaborating with her. She's this punk girl, she's in his wild band that does anything from punk rock to hip-hop, so we collaborated with her and it ended up being great ... this is the first collaboration in a long time. I'm not rapping, though. She's rapping. I'm the hype man."

Green Day Ditch Politics To Party On Upcoming Album Triology.

'We didn't want to come across as politicians,' Bille Joe Armstrong tells MTV News following the premiere of Green Day's new 'Oh Love' video.

By now, you've no doubt gawked at Green Day's brand-new "Oh Love" video, which is heavy on models and light on, well, pretty much everything else (it does, of course, also rock).

And that was precisely what the band — and director Samuel Bayer — was going for, as Green Day explained when they sat down with MTV News's Sway Calloway for an in-depth interview following "Oh Love's" premiere. It seems the song isn't some high-minded political scorcher. Instead, it focuses on more, uh, important issues.

"It's kind of a tension ballad ... instead of pulling at your heart strings, it's like a noose pulling at your heart a little bit, and trying to keep your emotions intact," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong explained. "It's very lustful, which is kind of a subject we haven't gotten into in a long time."

"It's about tension between your heart and other parts of your body, and figuring out, or maybe not figuring out what those do to you," bassist Mike Dirnt added. "But you've seen the video, and I'm pretty sure you guys figured that out."

And if avoiding politics may seem like a bit of a departure for Green Day — especially considering the overtones of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, not to mention there's an election looming in November — well, you'd be right to make that assumption. On the upcoming ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tre! the band tried very hard to avoid the subject entirely ... they just wanna party.

"It was a time for us to step away [from that], because we didn't want to come across as politicians," Armstrong said. "We're in a band first and foremost, and we wanted to have a good time making music. So it was kind of a way of us getting back to basics."

"There's a lot of that in these records," Dirnt added. "It's kind of like getting ready and charging to the party on the first record, and then getting to the party on the second record and having an absolute great time and overstaying your welcome and doing a lot of damage, and then kind of looking for your car keys and doing some self-reflecting on the third record. "

Good News Folks ! We're gonna see Green Day Live soon \m/

Los Angeles: Punk rock band Green Day are planning to play 3,000 shows in support of their new albums - `Uno`, `Dos` and `Tre`.

The `Boulevard Of Broken Dreams` hitmakers band are releasing three records in four months and said that for such an ambitious project they will have to have a suitably sized tour to match, reported a website.

"The full tour, we`ll probably do about 3,000 shows. Right now, we`re just warming up and getting ready to go out there, start swinging. The sky is the limit right now," said bassist Mike Dirnt.

Fontman Billie Joe Armstrong, who completes the band with drummer Tre Cool, also said they always keep up with new music and let it evolve the direction of their own sound.

"For us, it was always a slow Evolution through time. It was always about taking the right kind of risks. But, not trying to do something where you`re pushing too hard to try to evolve into something that you`re not.

"It takes time, and we always listen to younger bands; we really like a band called the Biters, and Best Coast. It`s just a matter of letting yourself evolve," Armstrong said.

`Uno`, `Dos` and `Tre` will be released between September and January next year.

Tre Cool

Frank Edwin Wright III (born on December 9, 1972), better known as Tré Cool, is an American drummer, best known as the drummer for Green Day. He replaced the group's former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990. Cool has also played in The Lookouts Samiam and the Green Day side-projects The Network and the Foxboro Hot Tubs.

Cool has a daughter named Ramona Isabel Wright (born January 12, 1995), with his ex-wife Lisea Lyons, named after his idol, Joey Ramone. He also has a son, named Frankito (which means "Little Frank"), born in 2001 to then wife Claudia. He currently lives with his ex-wife, Claudia in California for their son, Frankito. However his daughter Ramona lives in New York. Tre and Claudia divorced in 2003. In March 2011, he got engaged to his girlfriend Dena.

Cool sang and played guitar on the tracks "Dominated Love Slave" and "All by Myself", from Kerplunk and Dookie, respectively, both of which he wrote and composed (on "Dominated Love Slave", guitarist and vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong played drums). He wrote and sang the subtrack "Rock and Roll Girlfriend" from the medley "Homecoming" featured on the album American Idiot. He also sang and composed the track "DUI" ("Driving Under the Influence"), which was recorded for Green Day's fifth studio album Nimrod (1997) and was due to be released on the compilation album Shenanigans in 2002, but was omitted and can only be found online.

During a radio interview at Washington DC's alternative station DC 101, Cool sang and played acoustic guitar on a short song entitled "Like a Rat Does Cheese," a song about the pleasure of fellatio.

Several live tracks also exist, usually from around 1993, such as "Food Around the Corner", a song from the 1943 Elmer Fudd cartoon An Itch in Time. Another live track, "Billie Joe's Mom" was also recorded.

Cool had also recorded a version of Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain." It was posted on YouTube on August 1, 2007. His cover was mentioned in several news journals.

Mike "Dirnt"

Billie Joe : "Mike Dirnt, a man i've been standing to for the last sixteen years. A man who looks really good naked and the best fucking bass player in the history of punk rock music."

Bille credits Mike at "Bullet In a Bible Live" Concert.

Michael Ryan Pritchard (born May 4, 1972) is an American musician, best known as the bassist, backing vocalist and co-founder of the American rockband Green Day. While at school, he would play "air-bass." While pretending to pluck the strings, he made the noise, "dirnt, dirnt, dirnt". As a result, his schoolmates began to call him "Mike Dirnt".

Dirnt was born and raised in California. Mike's mother was a heroin addict. He was given up for adoption when he was a baby to a Native American mother. He has one sister, Myla. When he was seven, his adoptive parents got a divorce. Mike lived with his father for a while, but confrontations sent him back to his mother. He lived there on the borderline of poverty, his sister left home at the age of thirteen. "There were all sorts of things happening," says Mike. "When I was in fourth or fifth grade, my mom stayed out all night, came home the next day with a guy, and he moved in. I'd never met the guy before, and all of a sudden he's my stepdad. We didn't get along for years. Later on, when I hit high school, my mom moved away from us, and me and my stepdad got real close. He instilled a lot in me. The one thing my family did give me is blue-collar morals. But then he died when I was 17."

Dirnt had left home when he was 17 to live out of his truck, but later rented a room in Billie Joe Armstrong's house. He attended Salesian High School(where he briefly played with the band Helder and the Heldernauts), John Swett High School, and ended up graduating from Pinole Valley High School in 1990; Green Day went on its first tour the day after graduation.

However, Dirnt almost didn't graduate. He had missed school because of work, and his mother wasn't around to sign absentee forms. Two unexcused absences caused him to lose a full grade point; and at the end of senior year, he had poor results instead of the grades he'd worked to achieve. "I took my mom aside", Mike says. "I said, 'This is how it is. You have so much shit going on in your life, so if once every semester you ask me if I've done my homework and jump all over my case, that's not right. Have I failed yet? No. And I'm going to graduate if you stay off my back. The one time in your life you chose to have morals, and it's going to fuck me up."

Dirnt met Billie Joe 1982 at age 10 in the Rodeo Elementary School cafeteria, a few months before Armstrong's father died of cancer. He and Armstrong first founded Sweet Children in 1987 at age 15, and they then started their current band Green Day with former Isocracy drummer John Kiffmeyer(a.k.a. Al Sobrante) and then switched to their present drummer, Tre' cool. Some years before, Dirnt moved in with Armstrong because his mother and sister moved away from Rodeo. Dirnt did not want to move away from his new-found best friend and love for music.

Green Day's Woodstock '94 gig was one for the history books: a huge mud fight ensued between the band and the audience. So many mud-covered fans got up on stage by the end of the set that one of the security guards mistook Dirnt for a marauding fan, tackled him, and broke several of his teeth while attempting to haul him off the stage.

He used to play a Gibson G3 bass, but during Nimrod., Tre Cool accidentally broke it on stage trying to show fan Brendan Taylor how to spin a bass around his back. Armstrong then sent Dirnt's bass tech out to get him a new bass. It resulted in a '69 Fender Precision Bass. He later asked Fender to make him a custom P-Bass, and the result is modeled after the '51 P-Bass with a '59 Custom Shop "Hot Rod" Split-Coil Pickup, a BadAss II bridge and a thinner neck. It was released in early 2004.

All about Billie Joe Part 2

Billie Joe is also a guitarist and vocalist for the punk rock band Pinhead Gun Powder and provides lead vocals for Green Day's side project Foxboro Hot Tubes.

Apart from working with Green Day and side-band Pinhead Gun Powder, Armstrong has collaborated with many artists over the years. He has co-written for The Go-Go's ("Unforgiven") and former Avengers singer Penelope Houston ("The Angel and The Jerk" and "New Day"), co-written a song with Rancid ("Radio"), and sung backing vocals with Melissa Auf der Maur on Ryan Adams' "Do Miss America" (where they acted as the backing band for Iggy Pop on his Skull Ring album ("Private Hell" and "Supermarket"). Armstrong has produced an album for The Riverdales. He has also been confirmed to be part of a side project called The Network, which released an album called Money Money 2020. Money Money 2020 was released on Adeline Records, a record label co-owned by Armstrong. Armstrong also provided lead guitar and backing vocals on 3 songs for The Lookouts' final extended play IV (1989).

Armstrong's first guitar was a Cherry Red Hohner acoustic, which his father bought for him. He then received his first electric guitar, a Fernandes Stratocaste rthat he named "Blue" when he was eleven. His mother got "Blue" from George Cole who taught Armstrong electric guitar for 10 years. Armstrong says in a 1995 MTV interview, "Basically, it wasn't like guitar lessons because I never really learned how to read music. So he just taught me how to put my hands on the thing." Cole bought the guitar new from David Margen of the band Santana. Cole gave Armstrong a Bill Lawrence Humbucking pickup and told him to install the pickup in the bridge position. After the pickup was destroyed at Woodstock '94, Armstrong then used a Duncan JB model. "Armstrong fetishized his teacher's guitar, partly because the blue instrument had a sound quality and Van Halen–worthy fluidity he couldn't get from his little red Hohner. He prized it mostly, however, because of his relationship with Cole, another father figure after the death of Andy". He toured with this guitar from the band's early days and still uses it to this day."Blue" also appears in a number of its music videos such as "Longview", "Basket Case", "Brain Stew/Jaded", "Hitchin' a Ride", and most recently in "Minority".

Today, Armstrong mainly uses Gibson and Fender guitars. Twenty of his Gibson guitars are Les Paul Junior models from the mid- to late-1950s. His Fender collection includes: Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Telecaster, a Gretsch hollowbody and his copies of "Blue". He states that his favorite guitar is a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior he calls "Floyd". He bought this guitar in 2000 just before recording their album Warning.

Armstrong also has his own line of Les Paul Junior guitars from Gibson, modeled closely after "Floyd", Armstrong's original 1956 Les Paul Junior.

He plays several other instruments as well. He recorded harmonica and mandolin parts in the past, piano parts on 21st Century Breakdown, and plays drums live from time to time.

All about Billie Joe

Billie Joe Armstrong was born in Oakland, California on February 17th, 1972. He was the youngest of six children in a family of wide musical talent. His mother worked as a waitress in a local diner, Rod's Hickory Pitt, and his father worked as a jazz musician and Safeway truck driver.

Billie Joe always shone above his siblings with his clear musical ability. From a young age, he was cheering people up at local hospitals with his beautiful singing. He attended singing lessons and was always destined for greatness. The first clear sign of this was when at the age of only five, he recorded his very first song at a recording studio in Berkeley. The song was called "Look For Love" and found him an interview with a local radio station, a clip of which can be found as the introduction of one of Green Day's songs: "Maria."

At the age of 11, Billie Joe's mother, Ollie, gave him his very first electric guitar, which he named Blue because of its pale blue color. Billie Joe treasured this guitar, a Fender Stratocaster; although little did he know, it was the beginning of a lifetime career in music. He continues to use the guitar today, and has had many replicas made.

Billie Joe formed a very strong relationship with his father, who died of cancer of the esophagus in 1982. His mother soon found herself a new husband whom none of the six children liked and caused Billie Joe to write his first song "Why Do You Want Him" which appears on Green Day's debut album, "1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours". He released a lot of his anger out on his guitar playing the hardcore punk rock songs he still sings today; unfortunately, he also released a lot of his anger with physical violence, both at school and at home, with his stepfather.

The creation of American Idiot (what really led to its creation ?)

Cigarettes and Valentines was an unreleased studio album from punk rock band Green Day that would have been the proper follow-up to 2000's Warning.In the summer of 2003, the album was nearly finished when the master recordings of 20 tracks were stolen from the studio. Instead of re-recording the album, the band decided to start from scratch, leading to the creation of American Idiot.

Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said the album's material was "good stuff." Musically, the material on Cigarettes and Valentines was hard, "quick-tempoed punk" songs in the vein of Green Day's Kerplunk and Insomniac. This sound would have contrasted the group's previous two studio albums,Nimrod and Warning, which displayed more rock/ska and folk punk genres respectively. Bassist Mike Dirnt described the band's decision of returning to the sound found on their older albums, stating, "We've had a nice break from making hard and fast music and it's made us want to do it again." However, Green Day would later call the theft a "blessing in disguise," believing the album wasn't "maximum Green Day". Dirnt admitted that backups of the tapes were made but claims that "it just wasn't the same as the originals." Cigarettes and Valentines was never even roughly mixed, according to various interviews with the band, hence no "legitimate" versions of songs, track lists, artwork, etc. exist.
