Green Day Film Explosive '21 Guns' Video

Green Day will release the video for their new single, '21 Guns,' next week, and Spinner spoke with drummer Tre Cool while on the set for the clip. Though tight-lipped about the clip, Cool did give a few hints as to what fans can expect. "[It's a] two-day shoot -- lot of explosions, good times and gunpowder," he says.

As for what's blowing up? Everyone will have to wait. "I can't give that up yet," Cool says. "It goes really well with the art on the record and we're really stoked. It's the perfect video for the song."

The video is directed by Marc Webb, who makes his silver screen directing debut with this summer's '500 Days of Summer,' starring She and Him's Zooey Deschanel. The Bay Area trio felt very comfortable leaving the video in Webb's capable hands. "It's Marc's vision," Cool says. "He was showing me some stuff that he did yesterday and it looks pretty awesome."

Besides explosions and gunpowder, Cool promises there's one more music vid essential: "There's a hot girl and a hot guy in it."
