Last month, we got the <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2501951\/green-day-road-trip-comedy-nimrods-unveils-trailer\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">official trailer<\/a>, and then a few weeks later we got a new Green Day song, &#8220;I&#8217;m Never Gonna R.I.P.,&#8221; featured in the movie and more information about the soundtrack. Today, there was a surprise event promoting Nimrods at the San Diego Comic-Con where Iron Maiden joined Green Day on stage.<\/p>\n<p>The event hosted The Coverups, which is basically Green Day performing a bunch of rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll classics that are not their own. This past Monday they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YH2aRa1-Fys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">played<\/a> Nirvana&#8217;s &#8220;Drain You,&#8221; and dedicated it to the late L7 bassist <a href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2505697\/jennifer-finch-l7-bassist-dead-at-59\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jennifer Finch<\/a>, who passed last weekend. During today&#8217;s performance, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson joined them onstage to play &#8220;All the Young Dudes,&#8221; the David Bowie-penned hit that Mott the Hoople made famous. Dickinson also featured his take on the song on 1990&#8217;s Tattooed Millionaire.<\/p>\n<p>Check out clips below. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Day road trip movie Nimrods, that we&#8217;ve been hearing about for ages, is finally seeming more&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-821489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
