• The mashup album American Edit by "Dean Gray" remixes tracks from American Idiot with an extremely diverse range of other songs, ranging from Bryan Adams and The Offspring to The Beatles, The Bangles, Queen and the Doctor Who theme. It's surprisingly good and expands on the plot of the album. The band's label objected to the mash-up, but Billie Joe Armstrong supposedly heard it and approved.

  • The music video for "Wake Me Up When September Ends" stars Jaime Bell and Evan Rachel Wood.
  • The video for "Jesus of Suburbia" has Lou Taylor Pucci and Kelli Garner from Thumbsucker as Jesus and Whatsername (Garner reprised the role for the unreleased video of Whatsername).
  • The musical has John Gallagher Jr. from Spring Awakening as Johnny/Jesus and Tony Vincent from We Will Rock You as St. Jimmy. Inverted when Billie Joe filled in for (and eventually replaced) Vincent as Jimmy.
