Green Day/Third Eye Blind Feud Officially Ends

The conflict between Third Eye Blind and Green Day is officially over, says 3EB singer Stephan Jenkins.

What started with a few onstage antics at a Los Angeles radio station-sponsored concert last summer quickly escalated after a bottle got cracked over Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt's head (see [article id="1429738"]"Green Day Hires Private Investigator To Examine KROQ Bottle Attack"[/article]), but the feud has now ended with a kind, dual-band gesture to another victim of violence.

The 3EB frontman stopped by Skywalker Ranch in Northern California this past weekend to attend a private screening of "The Phantom Menace," and MTV News' Chris Connelly pulled the singer aside to talk a bit about the rather serious topic.

[article id="1445139"]"Have I heard that you guys have patched it up with the Green Day guys?"[/article] Connelly asked.

[article id="1445139"]"Yes, we did,"[/article] Jenkins replied. [article id="1445139"]"Kevin

[Cadogan], our guitar player, and Mike, their bass player, ran into each other at a flower shop, of all places. How punk rock is that? And Kevin was getting a card for this kid who got stabbed in the face in Kevin's old neighborhood in Berkeley and he told Mike the story.

Mike was really moved by this whole thing,"[/article] Jenkins continued, [article id="1445139"]"so Mike signed a card for him and we gave the kid a guitar that was signed by everybody in the band, and it was really sort of this example of much greater strife ending much smaller strife. So it was a good thing." [RealVideo][/article]
