Posted October 10, 200816 yr Green Day are working on new material with former Nirvana producer and Garbage drummer Butch Vig, according to Vig's bandmate Shirley Manson. Manson confirmed that Vig was working with the band in an interview on 'MTV's Last Call With Carson Daly'. Asked whether Garbage were going to record any new material, Manson said: "I don't know, to be honest. We're sort of doing our different things. Butch is producing Green Day, so he's busy, so we'll see." No more details about the sessions have yet emerged. Green Day reappeared under the name Foxboro Hot Tubs last year. Their last album under their usual moniker was 2004's 'American Idiot' from nme.com
October 10, 200816 yr Author Can't wait for the new album now. Sounds so exciting Vig did a great job with the Subways' 2nd album, 'All or Nothing' earlier on this year. Hopeully this'll be just as good -_-

December 7, 200816 yr Hello! It seems it's true! I found this in www.nme.com, it's from Dec 2, 2008 (really new ^_^) Green Day speak about new 'power-pop' album Billie Joe Armstrong speaks about recording process Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has hinted that their forthcoming new Butch Vig-produced album could take a "power pop" direction. The frontman did not reveal song titles or details of the songs they are currently working on in the studio, but name-checked The Creation, The Who, The Beatles, Cheap Trick and The Jam as possible influences. "I really like f***ing with arrangements," Armstrong told Altpress.com. "I always try to look at the possibilities of how you write power-pop music. "How do you take something - and it could be anything from The Creation and The Who to The Beatles to Cheap Trick to The Jam - and try to expand on the idea of what is supposed to be three-chord mayhem? "How do you do it in a way where the arrangements are just unpredictable? So I'm pushing myself to be progressive in songwriting and being a songwriter. "The frontman went on to discuss working with Vig, who produced Nirvana's seminal grunge album 'Nevermind' in 1991. "He doesn't take for granted what we have here [in the studio]," he said, "but he uses everything to the best of his knowledge and the best of his ability. "I mean, he gets psyched on a f***ing microphone! That's inspiring. That's amazing. He's not a cheerleader type of producer; he's just a very hard-working, straightforward guy. "He's very Midwestern, too. For example, he'll turn around when you're working on something and just go, 'That's badass.' And you're like, 'What do you mean, 'badass?' Is that more bad, or is it, like, ass?'" Green Day posted video footage of them working in the studio with Butch Vig in October.
