Green Day's "Know Your Enemy" Kicks Off NCAA Finals
Tonight's NCAA Championship also served as the world premiere of Green Day's new single. Ninety seconds of it, at least. A teaser video that preceded UNC's victory over Michigan State mixed season highlights with a shots of Billie Joe, Tre, and Mike performing on top of flaming televisions. You could question the logic behind marrying a political punk opera to basketball programming, but it wouldn't be the first time Green Day benefited from an awkward TV montage. So if you were watching The Hills, here's what you missed...
(If that comes down try this .mov file.)
If that Tube gets taken down, you can hear 30 seconds at greenday.com.
A proper video for the Butch Vig-produced song arrives 4/24. The three-act 21st Century Breakdown is out 5/15 on Reprise.

I read Daltrey said "It's Hard" should have been scraped altogether...but it's not THAT bad...it's just the band was held to this incredibly high standard..."Eminence Front" is a chilly classic and "Athena" is a personal fave...
Score = 0

I don't recall him saying much about Bad Religion through the years but I do remember him admitting to be a Replacements disciple.

Judging by this I'm guessing we can expect the next record to be American Idiot 2.
They're lucky they got to write this record before Obama was President or else they'd have nothing to rage about.
Score = 1
Yes, it's another Rock Opera.

Worst green day video i have ever seen
Score = 0
If it came down to it, I would actually prefer to be ceaselessly bombarded by anything Katy Perry has done rather than Green Day.
Score = 0
I hope the announcer’s commentary will be in the actual song. I think it really adds to the whole rebellious preteen shtick.
Score = -1
sorry i missed that opening to the NCAA finals. wait, no i'm not. i was at a Dr. Dog show that night listening to good music instead of shit. i am sorry i missed the game though.
Score = -1
Ah sweet more Rage Against the Ma... wait a second, something is very wrong....
Score = 0
bad religion influenced green day? Wow. Try the ramones and the clash. And how could green day make a come back? With american idiot they were on top of the world, did you forget. You know, best rock album and everything. So before you start criticizing, get your facts straight
Score = 1
C'mon, (nearly) everyone liked Green Day at some point. I bet the majority of you die-hard hipsters get nostalgic when Good Riddance comes on the radio and still hum When I Come Around. This song is fun but has really no merit. And I despised the American Idiot album. That was garbage.
Score = 0
Green Day is a great band but unfortunately two very undeserving teams made it to NCAA finals. No amount of Rock and Roll spice could have helped that game!
