stories and songs Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "Good, bad, or ugly, I gotta support my boy." Be right back, bawling my eyes out. I can't say enough about Mike during these last few months. He has been awesome with handling interviews and what not while the band was on hiatus. He's been protective of Billie's privacy, not really letting anyone in on what was going on. He's a great guy. I feel like I never truly appreciated that before this whole ordeal. I have so much respect and love for him. He seems like a phenomenal friend. The love you have for a friend you've had since you were very young is different from any other friendship you have. Its special. They seem like they have a really great relationship. He didn't really say anything specific about how Billie is currently in the interview, even when asked. That's a little weird, but at the same time, I suppose he's just trying to be respectful and not analyze Billie's current behind his back in an interview. It seems as though even though Billie has been struggling with addiction for a long time, that things really worsened significantly during this recent press tour. As Mike said, his behavior wasn't like him. I'm glad that both Billie and Mike have said that. That person we saw at iHeart - that wasn't him. He's not that guy.
kerplunkerr Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "Good, bad, or ugly, I gotta support my boy." He is the best best friend :') Im so happy he is there to support Billie
Judges daughter 93 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I've always dreamt of a friend like Mike... I actually had a friend like him - died of cancer...
kerplunkerr Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I've always dreamt of a friend like Mike... I actually had a friend like him - died of cancer... I had a friend like him too..he also passed away ..
It's Splash Time Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I really want to hug them all right now. Aren't we all glad that Billie has such wonderful people to support him.

Lauren Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 that last quote was pretty freaking great. Mike is a great friend. Billie is so lucky to have him.
Strayheart1219 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Mike is seriously my favorite person <3 He is so sweet and honest. I hope to have a friend like mike some day.
desecrator09 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I can't wait for the inevitable Tre interview!
Fuzz Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 It's interesting how much stuff fell on Mike's shoulders during all of this. he was the one doing the press announcements, showed up at some events, a few interviews, all while dealing with something so incredibly personal to him while much of the world watched. My respect for Mike has always been very high, but it's gone up even more. Also, having him call Billie "my boy" made me all warm and fuzzy.
Daddy. Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I can't wait for the inevitable Tre interview! I don't Tre will, personally. I think he'll continue being the same goofy fun-loving person.
Yaz. Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 The last few sentences did it for me , Mike is an incredible friend. So many feelings right now
Todd Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 What the fuck Mike? Trying to take credit for The Network and their awesome music? You're just jealous because Green Day sucks
moonflower93 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Mike is a very wonderful best friend to Billie. I'm glad he's very concerned over Billie's wellbeing
MaraGreenDay Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "My thing is, good, bad or ugly, I gotta support my boy. This was beautiful and very touchin i wish i can have a friend like Mike. And after this, now i relly can picture Billie and Mike like those two old friends on a park bench saying: "remeber when......"
Mykee Mexx Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "My thing is, good, bad or ugly, I gotta support my boy. I'm gonna back him up, and then I'm going to take it the next step further with him. And we're gonna do it offstage, too." Yes... as sweet as the thing with feeding fucking birds when Mike and Billie are growing old... so sweet... Mike is really loyal, a true friend. They are real(ly) soul-and-heart-brothers.
whatsername Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "My thing is, good, bad or ugly, I gotta support my boy. This was beautiful and very touchin i wish i can have a friend like Mike. And after this, now i relly can picture Billie and Mike like those two old friends on a park bench saying: "remeber when......" My thoughts exactly. I love this interview and Mike is such an amazing person!
Mykee Mexx Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "Because we were working so hard, since [2004's] American Idiot. We haven't stopped moving forward: the [2003] Network record, Foxboro Hot Tubs, the [American Idiot] musical, the live records, 21st Century Breakdown." Did he just finally confirm that? (Even though we knew) Made me laugh... yes...oooops...
alaniluau Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well it's about time Mike admitted that they've been stealing the Network's performance royalties for years. In all seriousness, this interview caught me in a vulnerable moment--I couldn't help but tear up. Mike has been so strong throughout this ordeal, and it obviously hasn't been easy for him. If only every person struggling with substance abuse had a friend and supporter like the Dirnt.
Mykee Mexx Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Also, having him call Billie "my boy" made me all warm and fuzzy. That was the most touching part, so tender, so loving, so warm. He´s a caring mother...
AfterShock Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I'd honestly really love to hear a serious Tre interview. It'd be interesting to get his perspective. Anyway, Mike's the fuckin' man, we all knew that already
