Green Day Diss the Devil and Defy Death on New Song ‘I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.’

Green Day are back with a rollicking new song, “I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.,” which will appear on the soundtrack for the band’s upcoming coming-of-age comedy, Nimrods . “I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.” harkens back to the earliest days of rock & roll with its “Rock Around the Clock”-style groove, but the crunchy guitar tones and bratty, invincible lyrics are pure Green Day. “The devil’s on my tail but he’s chasing a ghost,” Billie Joe Armstrong wails before launching into a final chorus: “I’m never gonna R.I.P/I’m never gonna R.I.P/Might go down in history cause/I ain’t ever gonna R.I.P.” Along with releasing “I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.,” Green Day shared the full 30-song track list for the Nimrods soundtrack. The album will feature a plethora of Green Day classics , as well as four previously unreleased live recordings from the band’s performance at the Palladium in Los Angeles that’ll be featured in the movie. Additionally, the soundtrack will boast new music from the fictional group at the heart of Nimrods , Analog Dogs. There’s also music from some of the actual artists appearing in the film, including Ultra Q, the Paradox, and McKenna Grace. The Nimrods soundtrack is set to arrive July 31 and will be available on CD, cassette, and streaming, with several vinyl variants to boot. The album is available to pre-order on all formats now. As for Nimrods the movie, it’s set to hit theaters on Aug. 14. The film centers around Analog Dogs, a young pop punk band who travel to Los Angeles under belief that they’ve won the opportunity to open for Green Day at a special New Year’s Eve show. Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust star as the members of Analog Dogs, while the cast also boasts Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, and Fred Armisen. The members of Green Day will, of course, all appear in the film, too.
