“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.”

“Whenever you write a record you run the risk of your ideas not appealing to certain sections of society, but there’s something about the energy we have that people get into and that’s never changed. There’s a lot more to punk rock than just a catchy song, it’s a deeper thing about community and connection - and I think we’re still part of that.”

“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.”
