Green Day - Dookie


I could almost use the same review that I used for Offspring.  Are Green Day punk?  I know they certainly think they are. To be honest this is more of a straight-ahead rock album than a punk album.  It’s got a whole lot of really good rockers and overall it’s pretty good. 

One of my favourite memories of Green Day was when they were on the TV show Recovery.  The band looked bored out of their brains.  They obviously didn’t want to be there and couldn’t be bothered with the inane interview.  They looked across at the house band – asked if the equipment was plugged in – walked across and just played a song.   It was very cool.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet you can watch it here…

It’s about 8 minutes into this clip…
