Interesting. A lot of it looks like a standard Green Day set list, but the idea they would start a show with Nuclear Family feels like a giveaway. Plus, if they played last night, it wouldn't have flown over everyone's heads here.

The 9 Most Adorable Dads in Pop-Punk

Billie Joe Armstrong

Green Day's BIllie Joe Armstrong has a too-cute family of future (and present!) punks. Son Joey is in a band of his own these days...we're just waiting for him to play 924 Gilman Street.

Mike Dirnt

Billie Joe doesn't get all the daddy love from Green Day. Bassist Mike Dirnt also has a hilarious (and precious, never forget precious) family of his own.

This isn't really news, but my nephew just turned two a few weeks ago and my brother texted me this picture. It makes me so happy!

did Mike have any involvement with these albums? just seems weird if he doesn't to me it'd be like having say Justin Timberlake autographing copies of Purple Rain 

(i do hope the band raises the money needed for the campaign just wondering whats the tie in for Mike)

Here, I hope this helps? I asked on my IG repost of his pic: 
gdlot: @massgiorgini  what's the story on the Green Day / Lafayette connection? 
massgiorginimassgiorgini: Billie Joe and I co-produced the Riverdales' debut album, which was recorded at Sonic Iguana Studios in Lafayette. Mike Dirnt played bass for the Screeching Weasel "How to Make Enemies and Irritate People" album and did backing vocals for Squirtgun's debut album, which were both Sonic Iguana productions.

X's John Doe on Early L.A. Punk, Why Green Day Deserve More Respect

Billie Joe Armstrong wrote your book's preface, and he's from Oakland. What was it you wanted from his perspective?
A lot of people put down that version of punk rock, but I think that Green Day brought it to a whole other level of kids that could make up their own mind. I saw some of the influence of L.A. punk rock in Green Day.

How so?
It's not super-fast. It's not hardcore. It has a sense of humor about itself. He and the band don't really take themselves that seriously. They're just another fucking band and who cares.

Also, living in the Bay Area, I got to be pals with him and I thought, "Well, this is the next generation." And then an interesting thing happened, and I think it had something to do with punk rock in general and L.A. I met someone that's a friend of his who's a tattoo artist, and he said Green Day and punk rock – like, its second generation – gave him the courage and confidence to be a business owner. Like, "I can do this. Look at these people. They just made something out of nothing. I can do this." And I never in a million years thought of that.

You said that a lot of people put down Green Day's generation, but you like it. Last year, John Lydon told me he looked at Green Day as a "tinny, two-bob version of something that was far deeper and carried more significance." There seems to be a schism among first-generation punks.
Well, did John Lydon like much of anything? I don't know. I don't want to be hateful and grumpy. That's a bummer. It's no fun.

I actually saw Green Day play at Gilman Street about a year ago. It was a benefit for a small press that they had worked with that got burned down. And they were tight, man. They made some questionable records because of the producers, but they're a good rock & roll band. They're not just pop. So whatever. People can have whatever opinion they want. I just think, "Yeah, they're cool!" Some of the other bands that are associated with them I don't like, but I think they stand out.

Florence Welch on Covering Green Day

 

It's hard to imagine, but you were really into skate punk.
The first CD I ever bought was Green Day's Dookie. It was my first clue that there could be a whole identity around the music you liked. I had the shoes and the world's baggiest cords. The only thing I didn't have was a skateboard.

You even recorded a complete cover of Green Day's Nimrod a few years ago.
I was going to see punk bands, and [producer-artist] Dev Hynes and I bonded. We were talking about how we loved Nimrod, and we recorded it in his kitchen with just his guitar. It's out there on the Internet! Later, I met Billie Joe Armstrong, and he told me he liked it. My 13-year-old self's head was exploding somewhere in the past.
