DPA From fun to punk rock opera - and back: Green Day release three new albums with party songs. Singer Billie Joe Armstrong said in an interview why he is still with 40 points, as his sons are they and why are political songs can not shake off the cuff. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Mr. Armstrong, the last two albums of your band Green Day were political statements and painted a critical picture of American society. Now you bring in the next few months out three new disks to simply be fun. Tired of politics? DISPLAY Armstrong: It was just time to get back to our roots, to the classic Green Day sound. Let's be honest: to bring out another rock opera, would have been pretty boring. Perhaps it is part of our evolution, or rather "¡Uno" With come full circle to early albums like "Dookie" and "Kerplunk", and from the forms, where we are as a band reading: in the classic three-minute songs. We wanted to bring back to the garage and a bit of joy into our lives. SPIEGEL: And that led to the unprecedented plan to release a triple album? Armstrong: Haha, yeah, we were quite relaxed going to the studio, after I had written two or three of these new songs and my wife said: Wow, how does that sound fresh? The announcement, which we did ourselves, but was: just start playing, just not a "Lord of the Rings" epic! At the end we had then but more than 30 new songs - and with the wrong idea of ​​publishing three consecutive albums, but then again a kind of concept. SPIEGEL ONLINE: straight on the re-turn to the sound had perhaps something to do that you have recently become 40? Armstrong: Certainly. But rather in a positive sense. I find it important and liberating to look into his past to find out what the next chapter might be in life. At the same time I dealt with a lot of younger bands like The Biters or Best Coast, which remind me of myself many, many years. That brought me back into contact with my passion for music: Just think too much about it! Just go out there and play! SPIEGEL ONLINE: Did you have lost that passion over the years? Armstrong lost, but "American Idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown" were very verkopfte albums. I did not let things become too political, too because I then yes all the time would have to behave politically correct. But I wanted to write again over partying and sex. And very personal memories. SPIEGEL ONLINE: The U.S. is in the middle of a heated election campaign, the country is politically divided and did not pass - and you release three albums with fun rock'n'roll. You must not be surprised because as a political head even a little? Armstrong: Well can be so completely I could then not, because on the third album there is a song called "99 Revolutions" and is about the Occupy movement. The original idea is genius: If more and more people are at risk, even in the middle class, lose their jobs or poverty, you have to tax the rich, easily. The Conservatives, for example, the Tea Party people find that unpatriotic. What they do not understand that someone who can not pay his medical bill, for example, not be in a position to start a business in order to turn contribute to economic growth. America is at the moment a very confusing country. SPIEGEL ONLINE: The Republicans even speak of socialism, when they talk about the health policies of President Obama. Armstrong: Oh, do not even know what socialism is at all! Just the lack of respect for the President makes me angry: Obama was interrupted during a speech by a Zwischenruferin, he is constantly insulted personally, yes, it is even doubted whether he is truly American. It has seldom been seen before, not even when George W. Bush was still president, and I have said plenty of bad things even after all. It is pure racism that manifests itself there. If Obama were white, he would not be addressed, I am sure. SPIEGEL ONLINE: But now you sound pretty angry and engaged. Nevertheless, there is only one political song on three albums? Armstrong: It has real inspiration for political songs exist, and "99 Revolutions" I had this right spirit. But what could I do? This time I wanted to just write about more personal things. I can fake my political furor as songwriters, that would give me of our fans to immediately cut right around the ears, according to the motto: Now you want to do with political attitude coal, or what We have made our point with the last two albums clear enough: We all know that we are a gang lefties. But what we do must always remain authentic. SPIEGEL ONLINE: One does not have to call it midlife crisis, but is not it a bit risky to want to continue the wild punk rock moments of their hit album "Dookie"? That's almost 20 years ago. Armstrong: Well, since that much time has passed, you can hardly deny that texts are also reflected a lot more than before. Respect, "Uno" rather the older cousin of "Dookie". It was our priority was to see if we can still go down to the exercise room, to jointly and rocked. With the same energy level as before. Turns out, we are now more than ever as a unit volume. We're best friends, almost like brothers. The children of Mike Dirnt has always call me Uncle Billy. And this family feeling heard on the new album, I think. SPIEGEL: You yourself have two sons in their teens. Who can not find it sometimes disconcerting when Daddy in a short leather jacket and punk hairstyle still makes on young rock star? Armstrong: Oh, in our house all the time anyway raging teenage Craziness, because I fall on hard. Joey Jacobs and friends hang around all the time with us and we do quite a lot of things together. For example I have in the garden built a skateboard ramp that we use all together. Both are musicians. Joey, for example, has a band, Emily's Army, and the boys often ask me for advice SPIEGEL ONLINE: Gar no generation gap in the home Armstrong? DISPLAY Armstrong: Not so far. I think it's great to make music that the two, because that allows us communication between fathers and sons, which would normally be more difficult. We grab just a couple of guitars and play along with each other, which creates a lot of commonality. SPIEGEL ONLINE: Nevertheless, as long as it is still credible? The rocker clothes, the punk attitude. Armstrong: Well, at the moment, it is even quite good ... if I do not drink too much! Is a problem, it really only when out of the angry young man a bitter old bastard. That's all for me the question! I definitely want to try to keep in touch with the boy, mitzukriegen, making the next generation, and to share our energy on them. A bit of a mentor, that would be a role that I like. As long as there is out there still bands out there that are older than us, I see no reason to stop. Last weekend was Billie Joe Armstrong admit to a rehabilitation hospital - reportedly to be healed of his drug or alcohol addiction. Trigger his Wutausbrucham end of the concert by Green Day at iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas was on 21 September. The interview with Armstrong was held before these events, the 40-year-old singer made it a very tidy and relaxed.

Lauren Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I don't like that Billie said if Obama was white, it wouldn't be the same. I am sure there are some racist people, but it happens more time than not when I hear someone criticize the President, someone else calls them a racist.

Asa. Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Here's an article from the Huffigton post on the best lyrics off ¡Uno! The only problem here is they list lyrics from the WEEZER SONG called Troublemaker, instead of Green Day's.

This guy clearly doesn't know much about Green Day or Billie in general, because some of the conclusions he reaches seem totally off base to me. For example, I think he missed the point with Sweet 16... and Kill the DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably just googled the lyrics for all of the songs and just posted what he thought sounded good. Pathetic, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzabillie Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's strange that when I look on the info area on my tv of Jimmy Kimmel, they still have Green Day listed as being on there. You think they would have changed that. It just makes me sad to still see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
