Rock rules as Green Day Hijacks Video Music Awards

Rock was resplendent at the MTV Video Music Awards today, as the veteran punk group Green Day took home seven moonmen and newcomers The Killers and Fall Out Boy won one each.

Green Day, who arrived at the Miami venue in the vintage green convertible from their gritty Boulevard Of Broken Dreams video, won best rock video and video of the year for the clip – two of their leading eight nominations.
