I know. But he's frowning in that picture and it makes him look grumpy.

John Lydon takes another jab at Green Day in Rolling Stone interview.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/john-lydon-and-his-rotten-past-20150429?page=7

"Do you like Green Day?

No, I've never been a fan of them, I just don't understand it. I think it's kind of a tinny, two-bob version of something that was far deeper and carried more significance. And, uh, that for me, as a band, they're not very significant. They're a mélange. They're closer to Billy Idol than myself.

This year they entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Did they?! Oh, no doubt they took that [laughs]. Itchy fingers [laughs]. I don't keep up with those kinds of things, so I wouldn't know.

Billie Joe to be featured on TV show "Junk Gypsies" on GAC TV

Junk Gypsies

Airstream Makeover For Greenday's Billie Joe Armstrong

Green Day front man and rock'n'roll hall of famer, Billie Joe Armstrong, and his wife, Adrienne, own an old airstream trailer and as a special surprise to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, Adrienne has asked the Junk Gypsies to renovate the trailer and make it into a 'surf shack on wheels' that Billie can take out surfing with his buddies. Amie and Jolie hit the road for inspiration and to find a surfboard for the airstream. They build a table out of a surfboard and turn the airstream into a 'Zen, rock'n'roll surf shack' for Billie Joe.

That's not a jab though, is it? And I've always liked Billy Idol for that one song.

Put it in context, that is coming from a man who is hocking his autobiography and sells butter.

All Time Low sound will lead the band to the next stage of its career. He points to acts like Green Day and Fall Out Boy — groups who took a raw sound and reconfigured it over time for the masses — as models to follow.

That iPad that Billie has on the stand in their studio there... I wonder if he was using it to look up lyrics for his own songs :lol:

Of course I meant @AmeliaLilyOffic will be in #AmericanIdiot @ArtsTheatreLDN .Thanks @nathanmatthews for spotting my senior moment!

14 Websites You Surfed In The Early 2000s (And What They Looked Like)

14. GreenDay.com

In 1997, Green Day digitized their Bay Area punk vibes into a dark black webpage that featured guitar tabs (because who didn’t want to learn how to play “Time Of Your Life”?), quotes, and their “Idiot Club,” which is now known as their fan club, Idiot Nation. This screenshot from March 27, 1997, takes us right back to that time.

There are two kinds of rock operas — there’s the Who’s Tommy or Pink Floyd’s The Wall, which have relatively easy-to-follow narratives, and there’s Hüsker Dü’s Zen Arcade or Green Day’s American Idiot, where the songs are thematically linked but the story is less clear.
