Bullet in a Bible
Bullet in a Bible is a live album from Green Day, released on 15 November 2005 by Reprise Records. It was recorded on the American Idiot World Tour, the road campaign that followed the band's 2004 studio album of the same name, and it also exists as a concert film.
The filming was directed by Samuel Bayer, who had made all the videos for American Idiot, so the look of the performance carries on from the clips fans already knew. For anyone who loved that record, it's a chance to hear the band take it to the stage, and a useful bridge between American Idiot and what came next in the Green Day story, 21st Century Breakdown in 2009.
