Green Day: Mike Drint talks

As Green Day's current North American tour begins to wind down, fans may only have one or two chances at the most to see the band perform its American Idiot album in its entirety. But while it could be a while before the trio plays the complete "punk rock opera" in concert again, bassist Mike Dirnt told us it will remain an integral part of their show:

It's just that's a special treat. I think it's really one of those things we really get to, you know, that we'll get to just pull out occasionally and it will be a real treat for us too."

The multi-million selling American Idiot was named Best Rock Album at this year's Grammy Awards.

The trio will release a concert DVD on November 15th, called Bullet In A Bible. It was filmed in June at the Milton Keynes Bowl in England, the band's first-ever headlining stadium show.

Green Day play on Friday, September 30th, in Sacramento, California. The band's last scheduled North American date of the year is October 17th in Dayton, Ohio.
