The full story of the rise and spectacular comeback of the band hailed as the saviors of punk rock Its hard to believe that in early 2004 Green Day was considered over -- the band was still together, but they were dismissed as a strictly 90s phenomenon, incapable of re-creating the success of their groundbreaking album Dookie. Then American Idiot debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, stayed on the charts for nearly 18 months, and went on to sell more than four million records and to win Record of the Year (for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams") at this years Grammys. Combining unique access to Green Day with a seasoned journalists nose for a great story, Marc Spitz gives the complete account of the band, from their earliest days to their most recent explosion of popularity and critical acclaim. Foremost, Nobody Likes You is a story of friendship and the transporting power of playing very loud music. It is the story of how high school dropout Billie Joe Armstrong came to write song lyrics that inflamed the political conscience of fans in a way that two Yale graduates couldnt. Green Days story -- from rise, to fall, to rise again -- has never before been fully told.

高中时的生日礼物,翻着英汉词典艰难阅读,完全是靠着对绿日这三个老男人的爱坚持下去的,如今学日语后英语水平直线下降,我大概是不会读上第二遍了😂

虽然高二就吵着买下了这本书(花了差不多240,现在发现卓越才140),但现在大一了还没看完~有些地方可能因为文化的差异看不懂,但看得懂的地方绝对会给以启迪。任何成功的背后都埋藏艰辛,即使是Green Day,那些动荡的时代赋予他们的,都在音乐中一一呈现。
