Green Day: Interview (Part 2)

Absolute Radio's Ben Jones speaks to Green Day about their new album 21st Century Breakdown, along with a whole load of fan questions from the greendaycommunity.org forum. This is part 2 of 2.

[@adelaidebarkhorn994]

I love how Billie is wearing a necktie as a scarf

[@leticiarollemberg]

everyone makes jokes about billie joe's "y'know"s but i noticed that actually the whole band does this specially mike! haha

[@TheABZROCKZ]

I'd also love the play with his hair. He' SO LUCKY he gets to mess with it whenever and Adie do as well.

[@AlexGMusic]

Great interview! I'm do glad to have found out that Restless Heart Syndrome was the hardest song on the album to write. It is pure genius. Just the chord progressions alone, Yum.

[@MoWuggets]

Tre only talks when he cracks a joke lmao

[@BLUEbalerbals]

His hair is actually curly and auburny red colour, he bleacheas his hair a lot. When he was younger before he started to dye his hair you could see it was a red colour but he's been dying it black since he was a teenager:)

[@Pazuzu82]

viva la Gloria is the best song on 21st century breakdown

[@salys4859]

billie joe has a ton of hair like im really distracted at some points his hair is so....wow!!!!!!

[@hermionexxx]

Yay I was one of the "lots of people who emailed about side-projects" :D Love these boys

[@karenrashkash]

I always liked Green Day, and loved them after American Idiot, then saw the 21st BD tour. NOW they are my favorite band ever. They got it all

[@nuke2625]

[@andyelectric1535]

OMG HE SAID THAT EXACTLY WHEN I READ THIS COMMENT

[@emmarocks]

props 2 u man green day r probably 1 of the harder bands to interview cause of their concentration spans

[@NurseNubia]

Tre is so freaking hilarious I can't stop laughing! Blow Job! I seriously think he has ADD! I LOVE GREEN DAY! Woo august 9 seeing them live!

[@SaintJimmy9742]

I'm hearing a lot of foreshadowing to Uno and Dos.. Billie keeps saying "Yeah, to just let it go" Somebody who asked a question's name was Amy

[@andyelectric1535]

Urmurgurd

[@brookmay8549]

I love green day to frickin much they r the greatest band that I know they inspire me to right my own song && be myself!!!!!!

[@JosephCee]

[@PrithviSinghhtk97]

LOVE GREENDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Louisa0009]

I love it when Billie says Y'Know...

[@hermionexxx]

I was one of the many people who asked about whether Foxboro Hot Tubs would ever play in England. I like to think I'm partly responsible for them playing that show last year hehehe :D

[@juliasassone]

I LOVEEEEE GREEN DAY I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO MEET THEM!!!

[@leslysisi6714]

Same, I would even do Only school and give up my iPad for them.

[@brittanythompson7809]

Billie Joe's hair looks really soft.. I wanna touch it.. That sounds really creepy........

[@GIMMEmyMUSIC24]

i agree they're ALL awesome!

[@NurseNubia]

Yeah San Antonio August 9th I'm really excited! I've seen a lot of bands and Green Day is by far the most fun, entertaining, scream your lungs out sort of concert that everyone should experience at least once. I am blessed because this will be my second time. Last time I was in the very front and got Billie Joe's tie. I wonder what will happen this time!

[@braxfan683]

[@MrBrett566]

Did anyone else notice he says "you know" a lot

[@tomdelongemarkhoppus]

2:10 billie's playing with his hands. he he 3:56 aww billie rustles his hair...aww... 5:01 billie looks sooo cute this was pretty rad!

[@VasoSKG2310]

ahahahah that just made me laugh out loud :)

[@TheABZROCKZ]

The amount of times he said y'know.....! Also proof the the UK rocks!!! WOO! I still love American though!!!!

[@zimpelskinsk]

@BaoTerminator thats true, something interesting to notice... but I think is just the way each one of them is used to the microfone, billie joe wears the guitar really low so I think he's used to getting really near from the microfone, that doesn't happen with mike thou... when I sing i usually press my mouth in the microfone too, but for me it's because it's easier for me...

[@MoWuggets]

I find myself going “te-he-he” the whole time

[@Epicness54321]

The book I read is how to write a book ....for dummies XD

[@Evica72]

Oh. My. Gosh. @ Billie's hair. I want his hair so badly. :( He looks so cute with the scarf thingy!

[@GreenDayGirl409]

Who doesn't wanna take a nap in his hair?

[@RoseonherShoulder]

I was sitting there admiring his scarf this whole time then I realized... it's a tie XD

[@JasmineEsMi]

[@greendrocks]

[@Lostonthisisland]

[@mistress80]

[@ismellliketeenspirit]

[@foreverdoesntlast14]

@222coliebear They just started working on a new album. they'll probably tour as soon as it's done.

[@409concussions]

no his hair is curly and it's blonde.. if you see videos from like dookie for instance, you'll see him with short curly blonde natural hair:) but he has gorgeous hair either way:)))

[@mariyam9861]

He actually has auburn-brown hair, he was dying it in Dookie (and pretty much forever now)

[@ImLaraaa]
