Green Day: Bullet in a Bible

I have been a massive Green Day fan since summer 2005, and since then my love for Billie, Mike and Tre has increased dramatically! After watching Green Day perform at Milton Keynes, I realise one of my main ambitions in life is to one day see my idols rock the world, to experience the overwhelming excitement, that only Green Day can promote. For me it's debatable if anyone can come close to Green Day's standard of performing live. The way Billie interacts with the audience is simply incredible, as the show progresses he builds everyone up until they burst into euphoric ecstasy. They perform every blockbuster hit to a new level and standard not seen before. Some people stereotype Green Day and underestimate them for promoting the Punk Image, but Green Day also promote people to stick up for themselves, and to not conform to rules and regulations, especially from any government, or any other corrupt higher power. The interviews with the band are also fascinating, as it gives you a deep insight to the preparation of the show and backstage area. Green Day have forever transcended the music scene, they have raised the barrier of limitations, and have shown the sky is the limit. Green Day Forever Rule!!

I was a little disappointed. I didn't like some of the camera angles. Some either took to much attention of what they were saying and other angles focused it to much on Billie Joe. It was good, the performance. But some things were just off. The DVD seemed a little rushed how it would just skip from talking to the concert. Sam Bayer is a good director but I think he tried to hard on this DVD, and was a little exaggerated. It was a little odd as in when Billie Joe talked it focused mainly on his mouth. I think they should have centered the cameras on Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool since you didn't see them as much. Sincerely

Bullet In A Bible is certainly a product of its time. It's a time capsule of the early-mid 2000s.

I wasn't a huge fan of the behind-the-scenes segments that take place between each song. It broke momentum in the show. Green Day were at their best when just playing their music. The musicianship was great and the energy infectious.

Billy Joe Armstrong pretty much jerks off in front of the audience, along with a whole heap of other moments doused in heavy cringe. The yelling of "ENGLAND!" every 5 seconds was tiresome - had we all forgotten where this was and needed reminding every so often?

Highlights for me were some of the old stuff from Dookie-era Green Day, as well as some of the closing songs. The ego (and music video background) of filmmaker Samuel Bayer was its downfall - far too many unnecessary scenes, and changeable camera angles, which was almost enough to give one an epileptic fit.

The music of Green Day will live on and never get old - but this concert (in parts) is going that way. It relies on heavy doses of nostalgia almost a little too much.

This show is amazing!!! Bullet in a bible is the first ever official DVD to be distributed by Green Day. Green Day puts on a rock production filled with pyrotechnics, unbelievable energy, and nonstop action that would surprise even the most loyal green day fan. The concert takes place at Milton Keynes bowl in the U.K. in front of 65,000 fans, where only few other rock bands like The Rolling Stones and U2 have had sold out shows. The DVD features over 100 minutes of exclusive performance, behind-the-scenes footage, and candid interviews with each band member. It is definitely something every Green Day or Punk Rock fan needs to watch!!

In my opinion in 'Bullet' they get a little addicted to massive hysteria, in excess: in almost every song from the show Billie Joe makes the audience shout different kind of chants, showing how much he controls his fans.

Without that, they could have added at least 5 more songs to the DVD, and maybe some from their earlier records. Their catalogue from the pre-Dookie era (e.g. 'Going to Passalacqua'!) is completely absent...

But anyway, I'm a huge fan of Green Day too, they changed my life from the first minute I listened to 'Dookie', and 'Bullet...' is a must-see for every fan.
