Green Day Confirms Birthday Reissue Of "Dookie," Shares Details: We recently shared a story that looked a lot like Green Day was teasing something special for the 30th birthday of their iconic album "Dookie,"... and we were right.

System Of The Down Singer Calls Out Imagine Dragons.

System Of A Down has never been a band that has kept their opinions to themselves, especially when it comes to global politics. And now singer Serj Tankian has called out of their fellow successful rock groups for their choice of performance venue.

Tankian spilled the beans on a letter he sent Imagine Dragons ahead of their scheduled September 2nd show in Azerbaijan, a country Tankian and company have taken aim at for their aggression towards Armenia. The singer explained his "kind letter" broke down the reasons they should "reconsider" so as not to "whitewash the dictatorial regime's image there."

However, Tankian says he received "no answer, no response." "As the humanitarian crisis worsens," he continued. "With starvation already being recorded, I am forced to publicize this letter and their disregard for this humanitarian catastrophe.

David Byrne Admits He Was "A Little Tyrant" In Talking Heads 

 

 

David Byrne is fessing up to some bad behavior back in the Talking Heads days.  He says, quote, "As a younger person, I was not as pleasant to be around.  When I was working on some Talking Heads shows, I was more of a little tyrant."

 

 

He adds, quote, "And then I learned to relax, and I also learned that collaborating with people, both sides get more if there's a good relationship instead of me telling everybody what to do."

 

 

As far as their breakup in 1991, he says, quote, "I think it wasn't handled well.  It was kind of ugly."  But he says he has a "cordial" relationship with his former bandmates now.

 

 

They're reuniting next month to do a Q&A to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their concert film "Stop Making Sense" . . . but they're supposedly NOT performing.
