Green Day Releases New Music as a Surprise
Green Day took their fans by surprise with the unexpected release of a new song, “Smash It Like Belushi,” just before their headlining performance at Coachella. The band revealed that the track is part of a forthcoming deluxe edition of Saviors, which will include five more new songs, as well as acoustic versions of some of their hits.
On social media, Green Day hinted at more surprises to come, promising their fans that there are more tricks up their sleeves in the following weeks. Fans can expect the deluxe version of Saviors to drop on May 23, adding more fuel to the excitement.
In addition to their music release, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong shed light on a past incident involving Perry Farrell, where the band faced opposition from Farrell who did not want them on the lineup for Lollapalooza 1994. Armstrong expressed his disappointment in Farrell’s assumptions about the band, which led Green Day to push even harder to prove their worth.
Armstrong revealed that Farrell thought Green Day was a manufactured band put together by a record executive, leading to tensions between the two parties. Despite this, Green Day decided to dedicate a song, “Chump,” to Farrell in response to his unfair allegations.
Reflecting on the situation, Armstrong expressed his frustration with Farrell’s actions, calling him out for his behavior and the misguided beliefs he held about the band. In true Green Day fashion, the band stood their ground and used their music as a platform to address the situation and respond to the criticisms they faced.
With the release of “Smash It Like Belushi” and the upcoming deluxe edition of Saviors, Green Day continues to prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their resilience in the face of adversity and their commitment to their art showcases their unwavering passion for music and dedication to their fans. Stay tuned for more surprises from Green Day in the coming weeks as they gear up for the release of their deluxe album and continue to make their mark on the music scene.
