“We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we're not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world”Billie Joe Armstrong Reported in Q Magazine interview - Jan 2015
“I guess that’s my biggest fear for this band. I worry that if it stops, it’s going to break down and end up in the junkyard. You can hear it with some bands, man, and you can tell when they haven’t been playing together because they’re too busy resting on their laurels. Most of the time, those bands are the ones that end up losing it.”Billie Joe Armstrong
“Being in a band is a lot like having a classic car. You have to constantly tune it and care for it, because if you don’t then it’s going to rust and fall apart.”Billie Joe Armstrong
“I have been in Green Day for most of my life, we have been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I just love how this band has evolved from a bunch of 'slackers' to one of the most socially conscious bands out there. It is pretty groovy to see how things have changed and yet it has all been a very natural process for us.”Billie Joe Armstrong
