Green Day have released a Jesus Of Suburbia demo… and it's…

Green Day have just released an old Jesus Of Suburbia demo… and you can't believe it, it's only two minutes long!

The band's nine-minute, five-movement epic – taken from “American Idiot” – has become a firm fan favorite since its release 20 years ago, and many consider it to be Billie Joe and company's best song of all time.

And now you can hear how it started, because Green Day have shared a demo of their upcoming American Idiot (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition).

This version of Jesus Of Suburbia still features that iconic beginning – “I am the son of anger and love / The Jesus of Suburbia' – and the first few minutes are pretty much what we all know and love, but the demo misses the four movements after that: City Of The Damned, I Don't Care, Dearly Beloved and Tales Of Another Broken Home . Still, it's extremely cool to hear what would come of it!

On the actual 20th anniversary of American Idiot last month, Green Day wrote: “And just like that: 20 years, happy anniversary, American Idiot.” We had no idea what this album would become, but we knew that it meant something to us and it obviously resonated with you too. To anyone who sang it in their car, sang it with their hearts, or found a piece of themselves in these songs – thank you.”
