Green Day | ‘You Irritate Me’ [DEMO] (Official Audio)
Nimrod, Green Day’s fifth studio album, was originally released on October 14, 1997. The Billboard Top 10 LP was driven by the hit singles Hitchin’ A Ride, Redundant, Nice Guys Finish Last and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) the latter of which has sold 5 million copies in the US alone. The song was written as a spiteful ballad and has evolved into the soundtrack of everyone’s seminal life moments; even being featured in the Seinfeld series finale.
The Nimrod XXV 25th Anniversary Edition includes the original album, one disc of previously unreleased Nimrod demos, and a live set from Philadelphia recorded one month after Nimrod was released. The 14-track demos disc includes two unreleased Green Day tracks (You Irritate Me and Tre Polka), plus a cover of the classic Elvis Costello song Allison (previously unreleased). The live album was recorded at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on November 14, 1997. The 20-song set includes several songs from Nimrod, plus fan favourites from their previous albums and singles. Check out the exclusive, limited-edition silver vinyl box set below! Pre-order here.
