Green Day take us back in time in new music video for “2000 Light Years Away”

November 22, 2017

Green Day have taken us back in time in their new music video for “2000 Light Years Away,” taken from the band's album Kerplunk and featured on their new greatest hits compilation, God's Favorite Band.

The video compiles old footage of the band, and if anything’s clear, it’s that their stages now are slightly bigger than the ones they played when they were younger.

Give the video a watch below:

The new comp contains Green Day's “20 biggest hits, 2 new songs, 1 new music vid [and] a partridge in a pear tree,” that last bit seemingly the band's playful dig at the album's release just in time for the holiday shopping season.

One of the compilation's new songs, “Ordinary World,” features country singer Miranda Lambert; the other new track is called “Back In The USA.” The God's Favorite Band title originates from the band's performance of “Still Breathing” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, in which “God” makes an appearance to declare his love for Green Day.

This is the band's second greatest hits compilation, following 2001's International Superhits!, and their fifth compilation album altogether, after 2002's B-sides comp Shenanigans and 2014 demo collection, Demolicious.

God's Favorite Band is out now.
