Green Day Go To Town On Trump With New Music Video

You could say a lot about Green Day’s transformation since the early ‘90s, and although the progression of their sound has shifted somewhat, their political beliefs remain passionate, as evident in the blistering attack on President Trump through their latest film clip, Troubled Times.

Released on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US, the video comes from the band’s twelfth record, Revolution Radio, and features a series of prominent political figures, including King Jr., who is crying in numerous shots, while images of the Ku Klux Klan and more are associated with Trump.

“Today we celebrate love and compassion more than ever,” Green Day said via Facebook when unveiling the video.

Back in November, Green Day altered the lyrics in Bang Bang for their American Music Awards performance, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong chanting "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” in middle of the song.

Meanwhile, fellow ‘90s rocker Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame has made headlines again after defending Trump and calling into question mainstream media in a new interview.

The cast for Green Day's American Idiot musical dropped yesterday, with Chris Cheney and Phil Jamieson leading the Aussie production.
