Q&A with Billboard

[Jack96]

I just noticed something: under the question American Idiot" scored Green Day its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. What do you think drove its popularity? Bj drops an F-Bomb and it goes uncenscored but under

How does it feel that "American Idiot" is being made into a musical? They write it as f*cking. Just an observation.

[TheBullwinkle]

[amy_runs]

Great interview, Tre, as always, is one of the best parts...

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I loved the interview, thanks for posting

[Mrs.Kerplunk]

great to read

[Radioactive1]

Ah that was a really good read! Thanks for posting

[CarmenPunkGirl]

it was nice to read it

[greenbear]

That was really good. I love the direct quotes from their own mouths rather than just a summary.

Billie;

Then it gets into "Christian's Inferno," which is when I was in the most diabolic state in my head, and vomited out this song

The thought of Billie vomiting out a song created an interesting mental picture.

And Tre's poor hands!

[Astrid.]

That was a nice read. Now I want the album

I always felt like Platypus was a 'vomited out' song. Anyway, great to read this - thanx for posting, Andres!!

Yes, I know what you mean about Platypus. I agree. Its like all these bad things just pour out of your mouth and you can't stop them.

[Kaddi.]

Very interesting, thanks for posting it.

But... Billie said he tought himself to play the piano to write some new songs. I always thought he has played it for years

[The Disappearing Boy]

no-body leaves this band unless it is in a coffin

love it.

also good to hear how foxboro came about.

[Hermione]

^ Your name is spelled right!

That was bloody brilliant, I agree it's such a treat to hear it straight form the boys' mouths. Love them

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

^ Your name is spelled right!

Indeed!

[GreenPunkPrincess]

Really interesting!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[Princess Consuela]

^ Your name is spelled right!

Was it ever spelled wrong?

E: Oh, wait. Dissapearing Boy, right?

[emmaILGD!]

I noticed they didn't put any of Billie's "y'know"s in Maybe there were too many. I loved the interview though, it's nice to hear things straight from the boys themselves.

[GreenPunkPrincess]

Sure!!

[klytaemnestra]

i was a bit disappointed that they left out billie's 'y'know's, but apart from that it was awesome. it's cool to be able to see what the band have to say, other than the interviewer's interpretation of their words.

[Green Jay]

Wow! Thanks Andres.

""Last Night On Earth" is a love song I wrote for my wife. I wrote it on piano and then sang it. It's one of those things where it's only directed toward one person, like an intimate moment."

That's lovely

And I'm even more excited for the new album after reading the answers!

[RebelofSuburbia]

that was a good read! Nobody leaves this band unless it's in a coffin

I love how Tre refers to timeperiods in his life by their records. I do the same when I come across pictures of the band
