Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 So much to talk about in the world of Green Day and who better to do it with than Billie Joe Armstrong! We chatted on "It's Mike Jones" about why they didn't get political on the Father Of All Mothers... album, how they're going to figure out what to play on the Hella Mega Tour, bringing out their musical influences in the new songs, more music that could be coming as singles or EP's and how we might see Weezer's Rivers Cuomo as a backup dancer! The Hella Mega Tour with Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer is going to be a lot of fun this year! Make sure to get your tickets by clicking here. Here's my interview with Billie Joe Armstrong. Make sure to subscribe to the It's Mike Jones podcast so you can hear all of the conversations.

pacejunkie punk Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Similar to the Zane Low interview. Again he talked about the setlist being mostly hits with just a couple of new ones. He said even though they love them he thinks it would be pretentious and self indulgent to play too many of the new songs. I disagree! When the audience love them and the songs are as short as they are you can play more of them please! These songs are meant to be experienced live 😭 Even more painful that he listed his three favorite tracks and they’re the same as mine (MMOTR, Sugar Youth and Graffitia). I want to hear all three but I’m afraid they’re only gonna do the singles 😭😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 God, that's just embarrassing. The album came out a week ago and they're promoting it with promises they won't play it live? I'm sorry but that's just killing my excitement. I was looking forward to hearing the new material live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 He said here, something like “we’re unstructured right now” and talked about putting out EPs etc and how they were excited by it, I wonder if they have a new contract somewhere that’s freer?

I wouldn't be surprised if they stay off a label and be completely independent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If they announce they're going independent in any other way than by a dramatic return to Gilman, I'll be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'm wondering if it's because the songs have many studio effects so maybe they think they won't transfer as well live. But I'd like to hear organic live versions without the effects. 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
