06/23/2009	21st Century Breakdown Easter Eggs By eliu What's the common point between Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown, the Revolver album from The Beatles, and even Britney Spears' Baby One More Time? They all contain hidden backmasked messages! Backmasking is a recording technique in which a sound is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. This technique was first used in 1966 by The Beatles on their album Revolver. Other notable examples include Led Zeppelin whose Stairway to Heaven if played backward seems to talk about Satan, Queen, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, and The Rolling Stones. Green Day was missing on this list, but today we can add it! Read more...
06/19/2009	21 Guns CD Single By François The second single from 21st Century Breakdown is 21 Guns. A CD was already released, at least as a promo item for radio airplay. It's a 1 track CD-R from the UK with a shortened "Radio Edit" version of the song, length 4:37 versus 5:21 on the album. Thus, almost a full minute was removed to make it fit in a radio-friendly song. First time I see such a cut in a Green Day radio edit, and I don't like it. It's like killing or censoring the song! In detail, the intro with strings is removed (17 sec), starting straight with a clean acoustic guitar. One chorus in the end is cut, as well as the repeated intro after the bridge. Here are exclusive photos, click the thumbnails to enlarge! Thanks to n0name0 for them. The 21 Guns music video premieres in two days, June 21, on Green Day's MySpace page.

It's already starting now, with Q, the top-selling music magazine in the UK. It features Green Day on this month's cover. This issue of Q contains a world exclusive Green Day feature in which: "The socially conscious, politically aware punk rockers discuss the making of their new album, 21st Century Breakdown, the breakthrough success of the 13-million selling American Idiot, and their persistent refusal to conform to mainstream ideas. Q travels to Oakland, California to photograph the band at home, discuss the most important songs and albums of the 21st century, and, of course, cover the subjects of chaos, protest, and revolution."
