American Edit is a mashup album released by Party Ben and team9 under the shared alias Dean Gray. Its primary basis is the Green Day album American Idiot. As an internet-only release with no intent of commercial gain, Dean Gray asked fans who enjoyed the album to donate to charities that Green Day have been known to support. Nevertheless, only 10 days after its November 18, 2005 release, the American Edit website was shut down, reportedly after receiving a cease and desist order from Green Day's label, Warner Records, despite the fact that Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong expressed an interest after hearing "Boulevard of Broken Songs" on the radio. The website returned online soon after, without the music. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
