Green Day’s ‘Idiot’ Fueling Banner Year

The success of ‘American Idol’ has Green Day performing for big crowds on their current tour. “Our shows are bigger than they’ve ever been,” guitarist Mike Dirnt told Billboard.com. “We just played to 18,000 kids in Mexico City. I feel honored by our fans, especially those who have stuck around since the beginning. The fact that this album has done so well really verifies their belief in us.”
