Green Day drop three more songs from their American Idiot 20th anniversary release

Green Day have just unleashed a triple-whammy of new stuff from their upcoming American Idiot 20th anniversary release.

Ahead of the deluxe album’s arrival on October 25, the punk legends have given fans three more (very different) looks at what to expect from the whole thing: there’s a demo version of their classic single Wake Me Up When September Ends, the B-side Governator, and a live version of St. Jimmy from the band’s VH1 Storytellers performance in 2005.

There’s still loads to come in October, though, including Green Day’s previous Heart Like A Hand Grenade film, and a brand-new 110-minute documentary entitled 20 Years Of American Idiot.

In a 2005 interview with Kerrang!, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reflected of the instant success of the album: “I think what American Idiot has done for us is really change our history in a lot of ways. It created a new future for us. It’s made all of our albums since Dookie make sense for people who weren’t up to speed with what we were doing. Obviously having all this critical acclaim is a first, but that’s all.”

“Back then [in 1994] success was so new to us that we didn’t know what to do with it,” added Mike Dirnt. “We just wanted to prove we weren’t a flash in the pan. We’ve proved that. Back then I thought we had something to prove; now I think we’ve proved something.”
