at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, to benefit the

hospital," says Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong. "Children's
Hospital and Research Center is a hospital where any child can go and
get the best care, regardless of whether or not their families have
insurance."

children from throughout Northern California, is a global research
leader, and has one of the most active designated Level I pediatric
trauma center in the western United States.

This game has great presentation, capturing the enthusiasm of energy of the band's concerts as well as the look of the venues - the recreation of the Fox Theater in Oakland is realistic. And having Green Day's catalog of songs to play is an added bonus.

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 29 June, 2010 : Irvine -- As the Rusty Wired Series hooded apparel collection hits stores this month, excitement is also building for the upcoming release of Rusty's Wired Series capsule collection with legendary award-winning rock band, Green Day.
Fully equipped with HB3-powered, machine-washable headphones in the drawcords and a music player jack in the pocket, Rusty's Wired Series Green Day Collection includes two men's and one women's style, with original artwork from the group's classic albums.
The Green Day Collection will be available at PacSun stores nationwide starting July 17th, celebrating Rusty's Wired Series Listening Tour and Green Day's highly successful Tony Award-winning Broadway musical "American Idiot," based on the band's 2004 album of the same name. As part of the launch, PacSun and Rusty will be hosting numerous summer promotions.

Green Day fans will also have the opportunity to play MTV Games' all-new, recently released Green Day: Rock Band game and compete against others to win Wired Series and other Rusty products during Rusty's Wired Series Listening Tour, currently visiting concerts and events in Southern California, now through August 8th.

Green Day play the biggest show of their 'fucking lives' at London's Wembley Stadium
American pop punk trio also get into the World Cup spirit
The American punk pop trio played a mammoth two hour and 50 minute set from their 20 year backcatalogue featuring tracks and hits from seven of their eight albums as they peppered their set with pyrotechnics and shooting flames.
Arriving onstage to huge cheers, drummer Tre Cool charged down the catwalk before launching his drumsticks onto the main stage as the band kicked off the show with '21st Century Breakdown' opener 'Song Of The Century'.
Then singer Billie Joe Armstrong ordered the whole of the stadium to stand up as he declared: "This is the biggest fucking show we have ever had in our lives. This is going to be the best rock 'n' roll show Wembley has ever seen."
Throughout the gig, the singer declared his love for England and wrapped himself in the St George's flag and wore a wig with the cross on, on a number of occasions.
'Green Day: Rock Band' got it right!
New 'Green Day' game has no filler songs - are you listening, 'Guitar Hero'?
