Green Day Debut 15 New Tracks At Surprise Show

Green Day performed fifteen new tracks at a surprise last minute show for fans at the Tiki Bar 1700 Placentia in California last week.

The band, who are currently working on the follow-up to 2009's "21st Century Breakdown," played almost an entire set of previously unheard songs.

Among the new tracks were "Nuclear Family", "Carpe Diem" and "8th Avenue Seranade" as well as a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Goodbye To Romance".

In a recent message on Twitter, singer Billie Joe Armstrong said they had "a tonne of new songs", adding that they were "fresh and hi-energy".

Along with playing a slew of previously unheard tracks, Green Day honored the late Amy Winehouse by debuting a new song, "Amy". Check it out below.

Goodbye To Romance should be interesting seeing as Armstrong already sings like an Englishman.

As much shit as Greenday gets...this sounds ****ing awesome!!!

[Shawn1379]

I've been writing a song called "Gabriella". Damn you, Green Day!

I knew it wasn't a very original title from the start, but if Green Day's song sounds even remotely like mine, I'll be shocked, flattered, and disappointed all at once.

[USCENDONE BENE]

I've heard two of these new songs (inc. Amy) and they sound a lot like some songs from Nimrod. The first line from the verses in Amy sound a lot like the first line from the verses in Walking Alone

[Holoogamooga]

I wonder if this little show was just the three main guys or if it was Green Day + stage crew.

Regardless, looking forward to their new stuff.

One thing I've liked a lot of the post-American Idiot Green Day are the lyrics. Not because they're not about masturbating or sex or drugs; but because they're really a whole lot more mature, more polished. I enjoyed quite a lot Amy's lyrics. Can't wait to see what these guys have been up to.

[Murf08]

I really can't wait for them to release a new album so they can go out on the road again, their live show is really something to behold, I can't wait to see them again

[guitargodgary13]

I'm loving this, I was really satisfied with 21st Century Breakdown and I really am looking forward to this

[Frankeer]

not really sure its an okay song but it would be great if they did the next album a little bit more PUNK

[shreducator]

Has more of the Foxboro Hot Tubs sound, which is awesome, lol. I'm ready for a new album.

[eljono123]

and they all sounded like the 15 from the last album :p

[Iliekgitaz]

Maybe the reason why Green Days songs sound so familiar is because they keep ripping off older british invasion songs... Amy sounds like time of the season by the zombies in some parts.

[Ghost4119]

Lucky bastards...

[slaveskinJACKET]

That was better than anything from 21st Century Breakdown.

Sounds very old school rock and roll, mixed with Green Day. I like it. I hope when they record it in the studio, it winds up sounding good, because it's not a bad song.

It reminded me of Let's Live for Today by the Grass Roots, in the choruses.

[FlyingPirahna]

That's pretty awesome of them. That would be one hell of a surprise if you go to see your favorite band and get a whole album's worth of new material that night.

[Mr Ime]

quite liked that song actually, excited for their new material now, thought it was definate downhill from 21CB but my hopes are high now.

[slipknot5678]

It's pretty good. I didn't even bother with their last album, I think I listened to it once.

Hmmm try seeing them more than twice and you will realise his patter and antics never change and actually iritates you more than entertains you.Seen them 4 times live and never again.

This. I saw them twice with their last tour and the second time it just annoyed me how much he dragged out songs by getting the crowd to chant etc. Plus it was a three hour setlist that was identical to when I saw them in 2005 except with some 21st Century songs in there. Quite weak tbh. Great band though!

[Eagerest]

Amy sounds like Walking Alone off Nimrod..

glad im not the only one who thought this!

[joshdski]

Amy's chorus is identical to "Shoplifter"

[bguitarj]

Cant wait, hope its good, and more like the older green day

[PorkRocker]

Loved Green Day for 17 years, but that Amy song sounds terrible. Would you like that same song if someone else had done it?
