When it comes down to it, the whole DVD is a poor disguise for cynical marketing, designed to make as much money out of Green Day before they go off and do something stupid like make another Warning.
Not to mention the time consuming, but nonetheless, pointless and un-amusing "behind-the-scenes" footage of Billie Joe's arse, and the overly-serious and unenlightening interview excerpts. Predictable color to black and white fades, excessive migraine-inducing soft focus wipes, and sometimes the deliberate lack of focus doesn't look all that deliberate. The whole DVD reeks of being put together far too quickly. Maybe it's the fact that, after seven albums, half of the set list is taken from American Idiot? Maybe it's the fact that there's a "Brainstew" and no "Jaded?" Maybe it's that the setlist is missing so many classic songs, from "When I Come Around" to "Welcome to Paradise?" The fact that it includes "Are We the Waiting?" Maybe it's that the DVD is nearly 40 minutes old before something that isn't from American Idiot gets played? Maybe it's the fact that Tre Cool constantly looks like the bad guy from The Incredibles. There's something about Bullet in a Bible though. With fourteen songs recorded in front of 60,000 or so fans in merry old England and with random excerpts of interviews and tour footage, Bullet in a Bible is every other generic rock band DVD since the rock band DVD was invented a few short months after the DVD itself. Love them or hate them, you just can't get away from them right now, and suddenly, it seems, Reprise have noticed that their dying cash cow isn't so dying anymore and the milking machines are once again pumping away.
BULLET IN A BIBLE TV
Returning like revenants, Green Day has found themselves the darlings of every commercial TV and radio station from Anaheim to The Middle East. Bush found his way back to the White House and American Idiot was born. Somehow, when all had turned their back, and when some mental aberration caused the Democrats to choose John Kerry as their candidate, George W. Then, in 2004, a decade after Green Day resurrected a scene, kept alive only by Epitaph and the annual release of a Bad Religion album, something happened. A "best of" collection and then the certain doom of the "rarities" compilation followed in quick succession and it seemed that a dying cash cow was being milked for its last, acrid drops. You could almost imagine the epitaph on Green Day's headstone from the moment Reprise got into the whole contract-fulfilling kiss-of-death releases that beset Green Day just this side of the turn of the millennium.
