Green Day’s next album is not likely to arrive until 2008, according to a new interview with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in British rock magazine Kerrang!. When asked whether the band’s follow-up to its enormously successful American Idiot CD would surface in 2008, Armstrong replied, “That’s probably a fair estimation, yeah.” Armstrong did say, however, that the punk trio has been working on songs since the summer, adding that the new material is “pretty mind-blowing…we’re getting moments where the stuff is so good that it gives us the chills.”

Armstrong added that the band wants to make an album that isn’t “in any way a reaction to American Idiot…in no way do we want to make music that feels like we’re cashing in on our past success.”

Green Day’s upcoming re-issues of their early albums “1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours” and “Kerplunk!” have both been delayed.

The records were originally supposed to drop December 19th, but for reasons unknown, they will be available starting January 9th.

It has also been reported that the band is busy working on the follow-up to their hit album, “American Idiot.”

The rock hero has claimed in a new interview that the global smash “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” is based around his own “Wonderwall.”

Gallagher–himself credited with recycling the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and others during his Oasis career–is upset by the timing of the punk-pop group’s song.

“They should have the decency to wait until I am dead. I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy”, he told Stuff magazine. (source: Yahoo News)
