Billie Joe Armstrong

Sorry, I can do better, but for God's sake.. I'm tired.

Here you go:

We talked to Billie Joe Armstrong, the singer in Green Day. And we have waited forever by the phone while the dirty punk took a shit. But we also got to talk about choking presidents and Sesame Station.

Green Day’s last album, American Idiot, was a so called rockopera.. What the hell were you thinking?

- Well, you tell me.. I was nervous about publishing it, but at the same time I was really excited because we had made something that was so different from anything we’d done before.

Did you cry like a little girl when you didn’t succeed in kicking George Bush out of the Whit House?

- No, I wasn’t really suprised over the fact that he got to stay for four more years. The other candidate didn’t really say anything about what he wanted for the country, he just dissed Bush.

If we had managed to give you two minutes alone with mr. Bush, how would you spend that time?

- Hmmm. I don’t know. What could I possibly say to him?

Well, a punch in the face kinda says more than a thousand words..

- Honestly, when you asked me that question, the first thing that popped into my head was that I would love to strangle him. Strangle him! I thought I wouldn’t say it, but what the hell.. It would have been a nice feeling to strangle George Bush a bit. I would have grabbed him around the neck and shaken some sense into him. Though I worry not even that would have helped..

We could also imagine us selves making a rockopera about a politician. We could call it “Arnie - The Musical”. Do you think it would have become a sucess as big as your rockopera?

- I doubt it. But our record isn’t about a politician, it’s about a kid. That’s the way you have to do it if you don’t want your record to be a heavy book where you bore people with facts.

Consider that noted. I’m pretty sure that we would have gotten in trouble with Arnies securitystaff, or maybe even Arnie himself, if we had presented our idea for him. Have you had any similiar frightening or scary moments with people going through your trash or anything?

- You mean like CIA or something, right?

Yep.

- I can never be certain, but I’m pretty sure that someone is checking what I’m saying here and there. But I don’t really know, I’m not a killer, and I’m not asking anyone to kill anybody either.

Do you think someone is listening to this very conversation?

- That is fully possible, yes.

What do we tell them?

- You know, in the end I’m just a rocksinger.

Don’t you forget that FHM backed you up all the way. Have you ever done anything like standing outside a weapondepo wearing a black mask, just for fun?

- I have based a whole carrier on doing shit like that. I love to mess with people and piss them off. If they get mad I’ve apparently done something right.

You have existed for almost forever, aren’t you fucking sick of seeing your bandmates’ ugly faces all the time?

- No, not at all. We are actually having more fun now than we’ve ever had before. Our shows have been amazing. The success taste sweeter now than last time, and we have gotten better at knowing when people are just talking bull. We know how to stick together now.

But I know you want to hurt them sometimes? Especially the drummer with the strange face.

- It has definately been heated from time to time, but we’ve never actually beaten each other. I think we have been really close to sometimes, but I would never be so disresectful to the others. I’m intelligent enough to keep it cool.

Really? Your drummer slapped me in the face once when I tried to steal his drumstick at a concert once.

- I guess you met him on a bad day, he doesn’t hit people that often. But I have seen him freak out a time or two before, so maybe you got away easy..? Oh, no, can you, you know, hold the line for a while? I have to do something really bad. Just give me a second...

What? Hello??

[The sound of a rockstar walking away from the phone]

[Three minutes later]

Hello??

[silence]

[Eight minutes later:]

Okay, I’m hanging up now.

- Whoa, sorry dude! I had to go to the toilet. I had to poop really bad. Sorry. Let’s do this again. Where were we? The drummer hit you?

Yes. How much money does he have? Do you think it’s worth suing him for?

- I don’t know, dude. He’s already going through two nasty divorces in court, so I don’t think it’s goint to be much left when he’s done with that. Can’t you just leave him alone? Let it go.

Well, alright. Is it true that you hate the name Green Day?

- Yeah. But you know, I’ve started to like it a bit more now. It has grown on me. Lately I’ve been thinking it sounds like a political party, compared to that it before only was about smoking pot all day. That’s what the name came from, you know..

So Green Day is staying away from the dope these days?

- Pretty much. I prefer to drink lots of beer, it’s funnier. And one joint from time to time, but that’s all.

Are your fans still spitting at each other at your concerts?

- No.

How many litres of spit do you think have been sput during Green Day concerts through the years?

- Many. Way to many. I didn’t like it at all, it just got too sick. It doesn’t happen anymore, and thank God for that. I mean, who wants to get sput in the face? It was awful, especially when the fans tried to hit the band.

[bit of interview missing, you’ve read it before, it’s boring and I’m too lazy to translte it. It was about the Ernie thingy..]

The last time we talked, you had just fucked a 230 pound heavy lady in a Honda Civic. Have you been doing it with any more fatties lately?

- Hm, no, I haven’t. I guess I’ve been too busy being a rockstar.

I have the link for that somewhere, I will edit it back into my post for you

EDIT: The interview has been taken down from the website now, but here is that quote

FHM: Right, apart from that last story, when did you last completely shame yourself?

Billie: Oh boy, I don’t know, because everything I do, I mean to do. But I once had sex with a 250-pound woman in a Honda Civic, which, let’s be honest, isn’t a big car. I was only 18, but I don’t regret it, not for one second. What an experience.
