And even more from Billie's Instagram story May have missed one or two (he posted so many!)

These interviews feel like they last two minutes because they’re just so fun to watch. Was happy to hear Billie say he was surprised by how positively the new singles are being received. They seem super proud of the new material.

There’s a better interview here for iHeartRadio CA just in case no one’s seen yet.

I could not agree more, I can never get enough of these interviews, still hoping for something much longer, maybe at album launch 🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️❤️

My favorite part is the first ten seconds just watching them get settled. I love their dynamic Billie: Anyone want the middle? Mike: No we keep the most important guy in the middle. Billie: (laugh) Stop! Mike gives Billie his pillow and he keeps it between them so they can share it. 💚

They seem to have a really healthy relationship with their craft nowadays. They're doing what they love and putting real effort into it. If people like it, great. If not, they're content knowing they followed their passion. They also understand that, even if an album or a song doesn't get widespread acclaim, there will still be many who love what they're putting out (lots of people did like FOAM, and it's safe to say the Trilogy's finally been embraced by most of the fans). Anyway, that's a great way to approach life.

I like that one because you see them interact at the beginning, I can never get enough of them laughing together.

A fan asked Tre to write on/sign? her arm and the result was "Satan"! https://www.instagram.com/p/CzYtPsOMywj/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Here's another one!

i would just ask them about their favorite dinosaurs

A few surprise bits of info this time. Billie Joe does most of the talking as usual. Tre has a couple of interesting points to share. Then right at the end, mr quite man himself Mike issues a stunner. "Put the work in, and care about the song. People may not love every song, but they're gonna love a lot of it, if you put the effort in and time, give a shit and do it right." Woohoo! Holy shit. What an amazing statement. That says it all, what more can you ask for. That's what it's all about. Thats what GD are about. Nice one Mike. Love it, love it, love it. The vibes I'm getting off the band in these interviews, is telling me this Saviors album is gonna be huge.

He didn’t even seem aware that they released music in 2016. I wish we could get some actual fans asking questions sometimes.

I'm thinking maybe 1981 was originally titled 1972, and this would make sense when they were celebrating their 50th birthdays last year. Maybe the chorus went like this: We're gonna party like it's 1972 We're gonna party like it's 1972 We're gonna party like it's 1972 We're gonna party like it's 1972

What would you ask them? here's my questions: "why has this record taken so long to come together and how did 1972 die?" "Some bands leak stuff on purpose. Do you guys operate like that or does the label do that kind of stuff and how do you feel about leaked music?" "Was there any nefarious reasoning behind you guys putting out Father of All, and are there any of those songs you guys want to perform at a later date? Same for Trilogy songs" "What's up with these song titles? Did a certain Dude help with that part?"

Yes!! I love when little candid moments make the edit!

I just don't understand why the idiot interviewers can't ask more details about the album, obviously green day want to talk about it but these morons have very short attention spans and refuse to follow up on anything related to saviors no one cares about anniversary crap that's not important promoting saviors should be the main focus and any interview should be about that not favorite foods or anything mundane

Wow!! So TADIKM was originally written for FOAM but he didn't want to make that album political at all!!!

loving these interviews!

Lot of shit happening in my life and ended up having the most distant pre-release phase since I became a fan of this band in 2004. Kinda happy with it in the end since I didn’t over consume the two songs we got so far as I did with other releases in the past, and listening to them again today I still got that fresh excitement feeling. Might be because of this but my hype for the record is growing so much ❤️ Since I’ve been away from the fanbase conversation for a while, did we get any concrete hint on which song will be the next single and when it will be released?

Its the Wordle for me. That just sent me. 😆

Eh, not a big fan of this one. Good chat and all but a bunch of irrelevant subjects.

I suppose the next single release date & title has already been decided. And when and how that will be announced and promoted. They're not gonna answer that question in advance at a Interview. One question I'm sure they would be ok with is to tell us the journey to the new album? Starting in London. Was there originally an EP planned? And what happened to 1972 idea for instance.

Right, exactly!! They can't reveal too much about it until we actually get to hear it. On the other hand, we already have that track by track description thing where they say the Saviors song isn't noteworthy, but of course we'll be the judge of that!! Another thought I have is that maybe the description of Saviors somehow got lost in translation?

I am sure questions and all that are talked about before the interviews. What they can and cannot ask. GDC 🙄

I messed up. I'm releasing a song on Spotify December 14th, which will hopefully give Saviors enough breathing room to find success. I wouldn't want my meteoric rise to fame to take anything away from the boys. If I see them struggling from high atop my golden thrown on top of the music industry, I will thrown them a rope if they need. Lord know Green Day have helped me more than once, it's the least I could do. But I think we'll be okay. I kind of do a longshot type thing where it's a "band" but not really. Anyway. I got sick of American Dream is Killing Me, but now I'm back to listening to it and I'm not sick of it anymore. YAY! And I've never gotten sick of Look Ma, No Brains! He's really saying Mom and not Ma. My son loves it, my dad says he can't understand the words. And my dog is kind of neutral on it. Everybody's pumped for Father and Son up next, but I'm telling you there's other gems on the album that are INSANE and would get a lot of attention as a single. Maybe. Father and Son could be the fourth single after that. Then Bobby Sox as a final fifth?

Literally neither of these are questions. Take it to random thoughts

It’s 1 million but to scale is the same impact as 10 million in the US market.

When will C&V drop? What is your opinion on Rush? Which song from American Idiot was the first one that was written? How different was it back then vs what we got on the album? Why was When It’s Time omitted from so many albums? Was Minnesota Girl and Things I Heard Today ever considered for C&V or any album before or after? It’s such a shit question. Why would anyone ever do something like a sequel to an album? It’s not a fucking movie. I can understand asking from the perspective of returning to that style or form of music but to make a sequel?? Yuck!

Another interview:

I don’t expect the average person to know, but I expect music journalists to know because it’s literally their job, particularly when you’re about to interview the band. I think the American Dream/American Idiot thing is what will cause every journo to ask if this is a sequel or similar thing so I’m sure they’re prepared to answer that question a lot. Personally I prefer an album that reflects a bit of everything they’ve done over thirty years to a rehash of one thing they’ve already done. I look forward to this album reflecting a range of styles like Nimrod versus something that’s all very samey like 21CB/Revrad

I really enjoyed this interview overall, but I died a little when he implied they didn’t release music in that time period. That’s a huge oversight as an interviewer — if you plan to make a comment like that, double check their discography first! Extremely polite of them to not say anything lol (especially because not only did they release music in 2016, but several songs on that album were political!).

I'm sure I can speak on behalf of everyone to say, nice to see you back. Sorry you've been in a bad place of late. Hope your life gets better soon. Take good care of yourself. Everyone on here is special. ❤️ I think we're all rooting for 'Father To A Son' as next single. Are you listening GD.

Yes 2023 y know billie is here!

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Apple Music and iTunes now show all of the album track names.

It's just promotion. Don't overthink it.

Keep pushing this so the have another alternative number 1.

Written after, he was making two separate statements

Goodness me, that one was nearly 10 minutes long! Did all the interviewers only get 10 minutes with them and some of them didn't come up with anything interesting so we are only getting a couple of minutes here and there?

Damn, at first I brushed it off as him meaning he wanted an American Idiot-esque album in 2016, but watching it again he clearly says he wanted some Green Day in 2016. Ugh, I wish I was there to immediately correct him haha

I am eating at Taco Bell because Green Day told me to. They don't have Green Day stuff, but they do use a pink front.

Wonder if he’ll still be blonde when the tour starts? He was blonde when I first saw them in 2009.

Better late than never. Amazon listed all tracks when albums up for presale orders over month ago, and included album summary "Right from “The American Dream Is Killing Me” — the first single and opening track from Saviors, Green Day is sending out a fiery SOS for these troubled times. Amazingly, Saviors represents Green Day's 14th studio album, yet somehow this enduring power trio -- Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool & Mike Dirnt -- remain devoted to their defiant craft that has fueled their career-long destruction of every boundary bestowed on the genre, and landed 3 East Bay punks in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. So even as the band acknowledges its illustrious past — such as with the 30th Anniversary of their now classic Dookie album and the 20th Anniversary of American Idiot coming 2024 — Green Day remains firmly focused on the here and now. Saviors features 15 tracks, and from the aforementioned opening track, "The American Dream Is Killing Me" to the blissfully ironic “Look Ma, No Brains!" to the fittingly emotional track, "Father To A Son,” this is a deeply felt song cycle that provides the soundtrack for our world on fire – the one we deserve, and the one that we need. The album was recorded in both London and Los Angeles under the audacious ear and rock prowess of Green Day's longtime friend & collaborator, GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo. Need a little inspiration to live on to fight the good fight another day? Fear not. Saviors is coming soon." Three songs mentioned, two already singles, so FTAS next?

Yeah you’re not wrong but i think it’s important to also say that harm reduction is important and sometimes it’s the best people can achieve. And even though attempting moderation/going to rehab when it eventually fails isn’t the ideal course of action, it’s much better than giving up.

Letterman talks the same thing about Tre to Billie Eilish on his show on Netflix

And it's an illness. As such every person with this illness should not be judged, but be supported and helped. It's lifetime struggle. Billie Joe looks so well, and really happy on stage at the moment. Take care of yourself Billie Joe we will always be with you in spirit. ❤️ "You'll Never Walk Alone"

It’s not a blanket statement it’s economics. but thats just my point, you either spend the cash or you don’t. Or you can or can’t. The price is the price. The same people complaining charge up the ass for their services when they’re collecting.
