This guy knows how to interview a full band. Kudos for calling each member out and showing their importance by directing questions to everyone.
No doubt, he probably worked for the CIA and has tortured hundreds of people so he knows how to get the information out of 'em
Yea. He did a great job!
Yo Agreed, Tom's the f🎉King best.
I've listened to him for years lol. Guy is humble and fair.
He's fantastic! What's his name? Knows his stuff
This is the most calm I've ever seen Tre
25:05 "You can get older, just don't stop caring." Best part of this interview.
caring about your 401k and sep plan. keep going.................
The fact Tom opened with a question for Mike says so much about his interviewing technique and his respect for all facets of a band.
19:00 'No-one was talking about mental health back then'. Cobain died in April, Basketcase came out in August 1994. Living through that time there was a huge void in alternative culture after the end of Nirvana, almost a collective depression. Im so glad Green Day were a positive force that got me (and many other 90's kids) into punk music and through difficult teenage years. Great people. 'Saviors' is really good. Great interview.
not to mention doug hopkins from gin blossoms committing suicide that year too
Me too. Saw GD for the first time at '94 Lolla. Loved them then, love them today.
what do u say to ppl who say that green day isnt punk rock or alternative
@@aaronshebloski All depends what circles you travelled in. This was the period of the college alternative rock scene. It was far from depressing. Hell, I hung out at The Continental in Buffalo at the height of the goth scene, even that wasnt depressing, it was more about tuning in to what is going on around you. As far as Doug goes. He was the Sid of his time. Depression didnt kill him, heavy drinking and drugs did. Kurt didn't commit suicide because he was sad. It was because of heroin use. LOL Well, probably more because his wife had him whacked, but nevertheless.
@@andy_182 Punk is just a genre of a wider category called folk. Its folk laced with anti establishment views. You hear it throughout many different cultures and time periods. Literally the same patterns you'd hear listening to an Irish folk tune, old Nordic Shanty, Grateful Dead tune, Ramones, Pistols, Early U2
9:07 they harmonize "you know" lol
whos the 2nd person saying you know lmao
That was the interviewer and he said yeah not you know.
I never clicked on an interview so fast
Same 😂❤
Same jajaja.
Cringe
@@river2352 haters
Actually same here
As a journalist (and a Green Day fan), this interview fills my heart with joy. I've been watching all of Green Day interviews talking about the new record, and this is, by far, the best one. I love how you push them to reflect on the song writing and how this connects to who they were, who they were, and who they want to be. The meaning behind the records. First time watching this channel, but I had to say thank you for the great points/questions. Wish the interview was even longer.
i literally time my break at work so i can sit in my car and listen to q. always great interviews especially with musicians. toms a great interveiwer
The album sounds immaculate, bursting with energy.
I agree this record does feel like a statement. I think rock fans needed something to huddle around this year and god damn is this album some of there best work in decades.
The new Rancid stuff is good too and Blink-182 have pumped out some decent crap as well
@@devilsoffspring5519don’t forget sum 41 my dude. What a great years 2023 and 2024 to be honest
@@gustavoalonsoramosrubio2440Agree 100. Tough times in the world inspire great music. 🍻☮️
@@devilsoffspring5519 Yes except for Blink though. I really tried to like it but apart from 1 or 2 songs its over produced garbage with their voices sounding like Robots.
@@theanthillmob1989 You could be right, but I always like it when Blink release new stuff because I'm fond of them. I like knowing they're still around and that their fans love them.
I was at a house party in early 90's (maybe 92?) in Victoria BC with an unknown band Green Day. The sound equipment was broken, so they found an acoustic guitar and a white 10L bucket and rocked it for couple hours!! It was a memorable punk rock experience.
Same.
Me too
In Victoria? I'm finding this one a bit hard to buy.
@@zachfarrell234yeah Victoria is quite small, what would they be doing over there lol
@@shamupeterson2874 Steel St?
Billy said it best... We want our music to sound like it does live! That's what makes a band great! That's how it used to be ages ago! No dubs no machines just instruments and a singer singing great music! What u hear on CD is what u hear live and for the price of concert tickets today that's what I as a music lover wants...them raw like it should be!
Yeh, I can agree with that!! I enjoy that kind of sound as well.
Dilemma is now another of my favourite songs from my favourite band. Keep em coming!
Another stellar interview by Tom Power with true rock icons. A great start to my day.
Father to a Son on repeat. What a great album.
Lets all appreciate Saviors, love this album💚
Awesome album 🌠
Brilliant interview. Great album. My 5-year-old has been getting into Green Day for the last 2 months. He cannot get enough. Love that he is feeling the music. I think he wants to be a drummer because he sits there air drumming. Although he does say that the cool one in the band is Mike.
That's about when my kid got into them. I can't play a lot of their music to my students for obvious reasons. But he can. And at Christmas, I got to watch him share one of their songs with his friend before a concert, and watch them listen to them for the first time. That was so rad.
I love that! GD is a band for all generations; kids will continue to discover them and love them and it warms my heart :)
My 6 year old is Green Day mad! I’m taking him to Wembley to see them in June 💚
@@EJLJ19 oohhhhjealous. I was looking for tickets too.
Mike doesn't get enough credit. He is a very Intelligent man. Very talented. Awesome bass player. I love this band. Forever. Seen them live 3 times. GREEN DAY FOREVER
I remember when Green Day came out when I was in middle school, it was so awesome, sounds of growing up
Broke my brain a bit when Billie said one of his sons just got married. I constantly forget he's 51 yrs old 😅
Beautiful interview. “We still care about making great music”. Love it!! Loved it for 30 years!!
I Love this new album obsessed with dilema !!! and so many others
I feel what is being said here, honestly. Im just so glad these 3 guys have such energy, such a bond with each other. I'm so glad they're still together making awesome stuff. It's so cool, sweet, in a way, and just all-around awesome. I can't wait to get the new album. This is my thoughts of course, that's just me.❤❤❤
Pretty much the same here!
Great album guys keep up the good work!
Such a good interview!
Wow. This popped up in my feed and after all my years of watching bands being interviewed, this was BY FAR the best. Not only was it thoughtful and intentional, but I felt like the band responded to a lot of questions in a way they wouldn’t normally because it was so obvious the interviewer actually cared and took the time and effort to pose thought-out questions. Well freaking done!!
One of the best Records of Green Day's career. A lot of fast paced Punk Rock on this album...
Interesting how people are all over the place on this one. After listening through it 5 times, I'd say this is my second least favorite of their albums
Same @@Nova-fh2et
Stoked about the new album but still heart broken that my best chance to see Green Day, Weezer, and more as part of the Hella Mega Tour in 2020 that was cancelled by Covid in Toronto. Maybe this time but only time will tell if that will happen.
The hella mega wasn’t that great. Green Day isn’t supposed to share stages. They are supposed to do full 3 hour sets. Hella mega was designed otherwise.
Can’t wait for that Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins show
@@gardensaladdude90I’m so jealous of the supporting acts in the US tour! Maid of Ace is pretty good too, but I would have loved to see the pumpkins!
@@kristianjohnsen7995Green day still had the longest set on that tour by far so it was alright
Woodstock 94 I was a 24 years old and totally into the deadhead world since I was 15. There were two stages and the smaller stage was more of the hippie bands. I believe that Green Day was not on the schedule for that stage. When they came out, most of the crowd were hippies and they hated them. At first a lot of the mud thrown at them was meant to make them go away but to me, the mud slinging showed that these punkers were hippies at heart. I think it was Basketcase that won me over and I have been a Green Day fan ever since. Im not sure if that would have happened until much later with American Idiot if I didnt experience them at Woodstock 94. Insane that was 30 years ago.
It’s a very well mixed album!!! Sound quality is great. Love the bass tone
Billie Joe dan yang lain terlihat awet muda 😊😊
This album is going to be huge just wait.
Saviors genuinely did end up being one of their best albums of all time. Kudos to them for taking their time on this and making something incredible
The fact that they record together definitely shows through and brings that authentic green day band sound
Great album, thanks for the effort.
See you at Wembley in June 🤘🏻
I've been a fan since a super cool fifth grader played me (a third grader) a bootlegged cassette of Kerplunk back in 1994. Saviors rips! I haven't loved a new Green Day record since Nimrod. So pumped to see them live for the first time in August.
I'm seeing them live for the first time in August too!!! It's my second ever concert and i can barely wait!!!
Green Day is the best live band ever.
It's a fantastic album!
To me honestly I still cannot believe Billie Joe has that distinct voice when he sings and when you hear him talk normal he sounds like a kid. That’s why he’s so fantastic. His singing voice is so enthusiastic and he intentionally changes his voice
Going to see them at Fenway with my son, daughter, and other family members. Can’t wait til August!!!!!! AWESOME band and AWESOME MUSIC.
Thanks for letting them speak and answer your question
I seriously love the new album, its amazing they're still making music. Great interview! Cheers! :)
This is how to conduct an interview. Really interesting and intellectual questions.
I love how we got to hear all of them equally, thank you nice sir!
These guys are my favorite rock stars! Great interview
Recently discovered these guys on New Years Eve. Love the punk sound(ala Ramones) and the fact that they are from the San Francisco Bay Area!
amazing interview, missed green day so much😢
Saviors is absolutely fantastic and matched with their best work
Really? I think it's their second worst. Crazy how music can be all over the place with fans
Absolutely delightful interview! Very interesting! Great work!
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen.
Such a great interview!!
Great interview love these Green Day interviews
Ive been in love with these 3 goofballs ever since 1st grade and to see them like this is just amazing im so glad theyre all still here 💚💚💚
Amazing interview and interviewer. I think Green day enjoyed these thoughtful questions as well.
Amazing interviewer! Very in depth!
Great interview and interviewer, love the new album
love this band and love tom power. he always asks great questions no matter who is on.
Its already one of my favourite albums ever. It's so good!
Really impressed with this interviewer. Enjoyed this so much.
These guys are a GREAT band...!!
Brilliant interview
Great interview. I've loved Green Day since the 90s. Absolutely brilliant record
Glorious interview. Love these guys so much. My music heroes.
Glorious lol
Probably the best Greenday interview ever and I’ve watched allot! Awesome 👏
man, this's such a great interview, well done to the interviewer
Incredible interview!
This record blew me away. A breath of fresh air! Fancy Sauce on repeat please!
Was definitely a pretty good/solid album.
I love Fancy Sauce!! I've been putting Goodnight Adeline on repeat the most I think 😂
Great interview, thank you 🙏
American Idiot blew my mind. I played it over and over until I got sick of it. Except I never got sick of it. Definitely checking out the new album. Great interview💯
Green Day - what a great band! I have seen them live and they have timelessly performed and recorded adapting to each of the decades as they have passed! I was 14 when American Idiot was released and came out and i was hooked since then! I love their older stuff even their later material in the middle portion of their careers and now i have downloaded their newest album Saviors and it rocks!!! Long live these legends and their fantastic work as a group called Green Day!
Yes mike said firing on all cylinders!!!
He says that every album I feel like, whether it's true or not
Really cool interview
Great interview! Well done.
Sheesh… that interview was amazing!
Can’t wait to see you guys for the first time!! I hope to hear a few songs from the new album and from FOAM and revolution radio. Great albums!
I absaloutley adore the new album its so good, the first time I listened to it, it was instant love it's just so amazing honestly I love every song and how much they praise it as a good album is so great to hear knowing they're proud of their work and still continue to put out what they always have, never changing to fit the mainstream ,it's why they're so loved.
What a great interview. Cool to see how he engaged every member of the band e most important, he knows what he's talking about because it's seens to be part of his life.
Great interview with a great interviewer!
Great interview
As a Green Day fan. Excellent interview. Subscribed. Well done Tom.
This interviewer asked great questions. Awesome interview!
I just love them so much. Been listening to them since 2010, I was ten :')
This interview really moved me.
Kisses from Italy ❤️🔥
I agree. Clear clean crisp reminiscent ❤
The band looks great! Never bought a Green Day album before but that will change. A perfect evolution of this band. They look on fire!
What an awesome album I played through it the first time just last night 🎉
Timeless 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Green Day recording and playing together will always show up as quality with the energy and tightness when playing live on stage. It's becoming a forgotten art that many bands are losing. Keep up the amazing work boys.
I needed this album
I feel like this is the best record SINCE American Idiot. Not their best but well rooted. So stoked.
No way. 21st Century Breakdown completely blows this bland record out of the water
@@Nova-fh2etYeah people just glaze over recency bias
@@Nova-fh2etI agree idk how greenday thinks this is one of the best
In my opinion it's the best since 21CB but i know opinions on that one can be pretty mixed
@@alim.9801 it's on par with revolution radio but yeah you can still say it's the best since 21st cb
I'm obsessed with this album and they have only gotten better with age. Some of us have been with GD since the beginning of the ride and bringing the adult kids to the concert!
Unbelievable how my ears of loving Green Day..and being 54, with a 22 year old son. Well I was so thrilled this album is just what we needed. He was the first grader with the American Idiot tshirts and razor walk tshirts..like the 2000 born k8d he is. He is now a brilliant musician and writer. I'm so thrilled that he loved those albums..and he really started to devor history after bullet in a bible. I was absolutely in TEARS when I saw the cover. I was listening to Zombie cranberries and thinking if the world would always feel like guns and bombs and wars...
I'm in awe of the cover choice honestly says everything. As a visual artist..I do love some great covers. But for 2024...living in the 20s with Brexit and gaza and rump and we'll it's the best photo...
Thank you for sharing the world with myself and my children and helping us get through it...all. you guys nailed it all Bowie ❤ and the American Idiot none of us wanting to be now we are not going to be able to disagree that the American Dream is killing is all....thank u thank u thank u and your families and children
Amazing Interview! THANK YOU GREEN DAY, For the soundtrack to my life.
Brilliant Comment. 🍻☮️
legends
No way! Muse was in the other room?!
Just listened to the new album. I'm so happy that it's this good. 2024 is the year of green day
That's what plenty of people said in 2004 and 2009 :)
Its amazing how much better a record sounds when the whole band plays together in the same room at the same time.
Love the new album !! My favorite songs are Dilemma, 1981, Living in the 20s and Look ma no brains!! 🤘🤘
I could listen to them all day! They just get you energized! Punk should continue and Green Day should continue! ❤
Listened to it last night and fully agree it’s a great album
Just getting into Green Day now. Only 30 years too late. Wow, ‘Saviours’ blew me away. Best album I’ve heard from any artist in years. Now I’m going to see them live. Hopefully, they’ll be as good as I enjoyed the album.
They put on an awesome show. I've been lucky and gotten to see them twice. The crowd is super positive and supportive, too.
When i first heard "american dream is killing me" on Triple M Melbourne when it was fresh off the press, i loved it!
