Steven Seagull Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I understand a bit of Italian. He didn't say anything we didn't know already. I think he called republicans a racist party. He said the sound is more raw, Too Dumb To Die is about his father. The album started after that protest. He said why the wrong people are dying. Lemmy, Prince...

Anticipated by the song Bang Bang - played "by the crosshairs of a sniper, to tell the theater of shootings in the US" - Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, 65 million copies worldwide, publish on October 7 the album Revolution Radio after four years. political concept? "There is no time for the" concept. "We live between sciamannati right and left," says Billie Joe. "It takes an ode to rebellion against the former empire." They wrote: "Nothing more Democrats against Republicans. Now the match is normal versus abnormal." Think so too? "It is an America upside down. The Conservative Party has struggled to accept someone like Trump, let's face it. In the past there was always a small room reserved for racists, bigots and the ignorant. Today, with his candidate, the racists they came from lamp. I call it the Party of Racism. See the lapel pin of Loren? at the convention pins with insults to Hillary Clinton rained. That fate mocking Trump is so extreme as to make it look like Hillary a conservative. in two years the liberals Americans They make a conscientious bell'esamino.

From the debut album, "39 / Smooth", the boom of "Dookie" to this day, as it changed its way of composing? "The sound is more raw. Bang Bang, a bit 'eastwoodiana, speaks of mass shootings. It lacks a law that a more stringent regulations on the arms trade. My goal is to reflect on the political confusion without launching slogans. I am sad, not pissed off. " Who would win a guitar in your face? "To those who abuse social media, always glued to the phone. The desire to police the world at all costs is a bad addiction. And I addictions I mean ...

HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Here's a translation I made. I hope it's at least more readable than the google translation Green Day: “No more drugs, now we fight for justice”After the rehab Billie Joe Armstrong comes back with his band. “Revolution Radio” is an album inspired by the racial fights in the U.S. “Who can save us? Only Sophia Loren can do it.” After calling the Republican nominee Donald Trump a “fucking Hitler”, the Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, 44 years old, invites the young generations to have hope, putting a pin on his chest. It proudly shows an image of Sophia Loren, from the Vittorio De Sica’s movie “L’oro di Napoli”: “I love the Italian cinema and Sophia Loren is a honorary citizen of punk rock”. Anticipating it with the single “Bang Bang” - "played from the perspective of “a sniper’s gunsight, to recount the shooting’s show in the U.S.” - Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, 65 millions copies sold in the world, are going to publish “Revolution Radio” October 7th, after a 4 years break. A political concept album? “The time for “concepts” is over, we live among assholes of right and left”, says Billie Joe. “What we need is a rebellion anthem against the old empire”. Someone said: “No more democrats against republicans. Now the match is normal VS. abnormal”. Do you think the same? This is a messed up America. Let’s be honest, the conservative party had hard times to accept someone like Trump. In the past there was always a small room reserved for racists, bigots and morons. Nowadays, with him as presidential candidate, the racists are out of the bottle. I call it the “Racism Party”. Do you see the Loren’s pin? At the conventions pins with insults directed to Hilary Clinton were everywhere. What a mocking fate: Trump is so extreme to make Hilary Clinton looks like a conservative. In two years the American liberals will have to do a deep examination of conscience. Where does the inspiration of “Revolution Radio” comes from? Two years ago, in Manhattan, I was stuck in traffic coming back home. There was a protest march after the verdict of the Grand Jury of Staten Island, on the Eric Garner case. The country was facing again young African Americans killed by police. Did you join the march? I was told that the protest was "only for young people." But I'm still young, I want to face the new generations who discover Green Day for the first time. I joined the crowd, I played drums, bongos, while the students were repeating “No justice, no peace”. From your first record, 39/Smooth, passing by the Dookie's explosion and arriving today, how’s your composition method changed? The sound is more raw. Bang Bang, a song a bit eastwoodian, is about mass shooting. We miss a more straighten regulation on arms trade. My goal is to reflect on the political mess without speaking by slogan. I’m sad, not mad. To whom would you throw a guitar in the face? To those who abuse of social media, always glued at their smartphones. If you want to control the world at any cost, that is a bad addiction. And I mean, I should know about addictions… no one cares about privacy. They always told us “Punk is dead”. Punk? Privacy is dead! Did you miss privacy when you were in rehab? If my fall will help someone, especially teenagers, I will be happy. Detox myself and heal made me rediscover my passion for poetry and changed my language. Now, when I talk with someone, I go straight to the point, without getting around it. How is your life changed since then? This is a positive moment. I feel determined. I’ve never been so happy and concentrate. To survive is my favorite record. You sing “Too dumb to die” on a new song. It’s a song about my youth. In Oakland you went out on the street, to clean car glasses or buy some weed to smoke with your friends. The person of my family I’m most proud of is my father. A guy always on picket lines and protests, always on the street with workers. He wasn’t a soldier, neither a punk. He was a man trying to do the right thing, for his Billie Joe. Did your musical influences changed? Who matters died the 10th of January: the dead of David Bowie shocked me. And we lost also Prince and Lemmy from Motörhead. Why are always the wrong people those who die? How will Green Day celebrate the 40th anniversary of Punk? Punk to me means to look at the young generations, while they're finding their paths, inside a garage or on YouTube, through country or electronic music. I will celebrate listening to Otis Rush and Lead Belly, because Blues is the true Punk we have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks for the article, but something about that article just doesn't feel right. Maybe it is the translation, and I could be wrong, but I don't think Billie was stuck in traffic for the March. I thought it went past his apartment. Plus, people that live in Manhattan generally don't drive in Manhattan. I can't see a protest March telling someone they are too old to join the march. Plus, Billie never said that they told him he couldn't join before. I don't know, why would he do an interview for Rolling STone, Kerrang and an Italian magazine. This just seems odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually also on the RS interview they write "Two years ago, Billie Joe Armstrong was driving into Manhattan when he came across a throng of protesters. Outraged by a Missouri grand jury’s decision not to indict a police officer for the killing of Michael Brown, they filled the streets and backed up traffic for miles. Armstrong was inspired. "I got out of my car and marched with the people," he says. "It was a trip to see people rebel against the old order." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I don't think they built the whole part about Sophia Loren from nothing. This is a quite trustworthy newspaper, usually. From what we've gathered through social media, it seems like they're talking with press during these days. Maybe this is just one of the first articles to appear on the web.
