Matika's role seems pretty thankless. Just always in the back, basically there to give Billie some freedom from playing to run around and do crowd work. Sometimes I forget he's even there. I'm sure he doesn't care though. He gets paid to tour the world in the biggest rock band on earth. Way better than working in a cubicle. His sense of humor never bothered me. Mostly though I just miss them as a 3 piece. It obviously didn't sound as polished, but thats what I loved about it. It'd be rad if they'd do smaller shows as a three piece, and then their huge arena shows with all 6 of them. But I doubt they ever will. Oh welllll

He should be just grateful, as he is. He isn't really needed, I especially hate when he sings and doesn't do anything else because it looks totally ridiculous and the only time he's really NEEDED is when Billie doesn't play guitar, I used to call him Billie's bitch, but he does serve a purpose. Extra guitar and vocal is great for the opera stuff but he can be replaced by anybody, so he is just extremely lucky to be in Green Day and I am sure he knows it. They could probably pay him 10 bucks a show, plus meals and lodging and I'm sure he'd still be happy to do it. I would!!
