"'''Jesus of Suburbia'''" is a song by the American rock band [[Green Day]]. It was released as the fifth and final single from the group's seventh studio album, ''[[American Idiot]]'', and the second song on the album. With the song running for 9 minutes and 8 seconds, it is Green Day's second longest song (with the band's longest song being fellow ''American Idiot'' song "Homecoming", which runs for 9 minutes and 18 seconds) and the group's longest song to be released as a single. The studio version of the song was considered unfriendly for radio, so it was cut down to 6½ minutes for the radio edit. The single has sold 205,000 copies as of July 2010.<ref>{{cite web|last=Grein |first=Paul |title=Week Ending July 25, 2010: It's Every Rapper For Himself |url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-july-25-2010-its-every-rapper-for-himself.html |publisher=Yahoo!

==Background==
{{quote box|align=right|width=350px|quote= "After you write a song like that, it was like, 'I can't turn back now.' You can't all of a sudden say, 'I want to write a normal record."|source=Billie Joe Armstrong, ''Billboard'', 2004<ref>Newman, Melinda, Teitelman, Bram, Brandle, Lars (2004-10-09), "A Smart Start For Green Day". ''Billboard''. '''116''' (41):67</ref>}}
''American Idiot'' is a concept album that describes the story of a central character named Jesus of Suburbia, an [[anti-hero]] created by Billie Joe Armstrong. It is written from the perspective of a lower-middle-class suburban American teen, raised on a diet of "soda pop and Ritalin."{{sfn|DiPerna|2005|p=26}} Jesus hates his town and those close to him, so he leaves for The City.<ref>Spitz, p. 165</ref>
== Composition ==
"Jesus of Suburbia" was the second multi-part song the group formed. Armstrong said it took "a long time" to write the song. Dirnt said that it came about from natural rehearsals between the trio.<ref name="kerrang05.2">{{cite journal|title=International Superhits|pages=52–53|date=June 18, 2005|journal=[[Kerrang!]]|___location=London|issn= 0262-6624|publisher=[[Bauer Media Group]]|issue=1061}}</ref> The song was an extension of Armstrong's desire to write the "[[Bohemian Rhapsody]]" of the future.<ref name=rs05.2>{{cite journal| author =Matt Hendrickson| date =February 24, 2005| title =Green Day and the Palace of Wisdom| journal =[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]]| issue =968| publisher =[[Jann Wenner|Wenner Media]] [[Limited liability company|LLC]]| ___location =New York City| issn =0035-791X| url =https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/green-day-and-the-palace-of-wisdom-20050224| access-date =June 3, 2015| archive-date =June 8, 2015| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150608015044/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/green-day-and-the-palace-of-wisdom-20050224| url-status =dead}}</ref>
Also, the opening bars of "Jesus of Suburbia", with their guitar-voice call and response structure, seem evocative of [[David Bowie]]'s "[[Moonage Daydream]]".
Because the song changes into different sections, Armstrong's guitars were recorded differently.{{sfn|DiPerna|2005|p=28}} The musicians would "split the signal from the guitar and send it into an amp while simultaneously going direct with it," to achieve a sound reminiscent of "[[Revolution (Beatles song)|Revolution]]" by [[the Beatles]] or the style of David Bowie guitarist [[Mick Ronson]]. In addition, an overdrive pedal was employed to accentuate gain from the instrument, producing a "punchy" sound to each chord.{{sfn|DiPerna|2005|p=28}} For the first two sections of the song, Cool emulated [[Ginger Baker]] and [[Charlie Watts]], two English drummers from the 1960s. For the final three, he drums in his style: "I'm tipping my hat to all these great drummers that I love, and then I kick the door down and do it... ''my style''."{{sfn|Zulaica|2004|p=64}} In addition to Watts, Cool pulled inspiration from [[Keith Moon]] and [[Alex Van Halen]].{{sfn|Zulaica|2004|p=64}}
The song was composed by Green Day (with [[Billie Joe Armstrong]] writing the lyrics), and was co-produced by [[Rob Cavallo]].<ref>{{cite AV media notes|title=American Idiot|author=Green Day|publisher=[[Reprise Records]]|year=2004|type=booklet|id=9362-48777-2}}</ref>
"Jesus of Suburbia" has five [[Movement (music)|movements]]:
* I. "Jesus of Suburbia" (0:00 – 1:51)
* II. "City of the Damned" (1:51 – 3:42)
* III. "I Don't Care" (3:42 – 5:25)
* IV. "Dearly Beloved" (5:25 – 6:30)
* V. "Tales of Another Broken Home" (6:30 – 9:08)
==Music videos==
Two versions of the "Jesus of Suburbia" music video exist, directed by [[Samuel Bayer]] (who also directed the music videos for the first four singles released from the ''American Idiot'' album). The official music video premiered on October 14, 2005, in the UK and on October 25, 2005, on the [[MTV]] network for viewers in the US. One version is a 12-minute edit, complete with a plot and dialogue; the other is a nine and a half-minute director's cut, inclusive solely of the music itself and devoid of additives. The video starred [[Lou Taylor Pucci]] as Jesus. Jesus' love interest (Whatsername) was played by [[Kelli Garner]]. Jesus' mother was portrayed by Canadian actress [[Deborah Kara Unger]]. Although Armstrong was originally tipped to provide the acting role of the main character, this was altered during pre-filming.
The plot of the video essentially follows that of the song. Despite the fact it is the second track, the video reveals Jesus' and Whatsername's relationship before it is revealed in the story. The video pays homage to "[[1979 (song)|1979]]" by [[Smashing Pumpkins]]—it also made use of the [[SnorriCam]] which created the video's notable up-close shots in the convenience store and party scenes.
==Critical reception and legacy==
Since its release, "Jesus of Suburbia" has received universal critical acclaim. ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine called the song "epic" and a "magnificent nine-minute rock opera." It is often recognized as one of Green Day's greatest songs.<ref>Charaipotra, Sona (September 27, 2004), "Green Day (Music)". ''People''. '''62''' (13):47</ref> It was voted the greatest Green Day song of all time in a ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' readers poll in September 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/readers-poll-green-days-best-songs-20120926/1-jesus-of-suburbia-0819254 |title=Readers' Poll: Green Day's Best Songs Pictures - 1.
