Green Day: Bullet in a Bible

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.

I absolutely loved Bullet In A Bible. Green Day is amazing live and they put on amazing shows. From beginning to end this was one enjoyable watch and listen. The behind the scenes stuff was very nice to see and this was the biggest concert done by a punk rock band to date. It has all there amazing breakthrough tracks off there amazing American Idiot record as well as many classic favorites such as Brain Stew, Longview, and Basketcase. They also even include a wonderful cover to the song Shout. Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool put on a phenomenal and enjoyable performance that i recommend to any Green Day or punk rock fan in general. This really shows why Green Day is one of them legendary bands that will go down as one of the best ever in punk rock..Green Day rocks!

The last comment about this live film kind of over shot it. This isn't specifically a momentous green day show as far as content. The only amazing out of the ordinary thing is how any people it's played to. This set is what they play just about every time out minus when I come around, jaded, she, and they cut out the portion when Billie pulls three fans from the crowd to play knowledge. It's a good surface live DVD and a good surface documentary. Perhaps they make a full on concert DVD next time and a full on documentary. Though the split in it's approach takes away from what it could be it's still good, but it's not insanely entertaining for anyone who has ever seen the band play live, on this tour at least.

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

Michelle

Now, as a green day fan, i didn't know what to expect while watching this. But after doing so, i can confidently say that was the most well-spent 1 hour and 30 minutes of my life.

This entire film sums up the 2000s pop punk scene. If you missed it, or weren't alive for it, all you need to do is watch one clip of this. There's billie joe masturbating on stage, fan interviews, both hilarious and thought-provoking behind the scenes insight from each of the band members, (see drummer tre cool's quote: "no man can eat 50 eggs) and did i mention the amazing music and infectious stage presence?

If you're out there reading this review, stop procrastinating. Drop what you're doing and watch this because trust me, you won't regret it. Well, if you can handle the "i said heyyyy-ohhhh!'s every 5 minutes from the frontman, that is.
