    It always amazes me how big of a change there is between his talking voice and his singing voice...

      KaptinSir its because when he sings he uses his gut or also known as his false vocals, that's why there is that big of a difference. He doesn't sing with his regular vocals.

    I know most of the you have realized that this interview does not have 10 questions because it was shortened. This is the transcript for the full interview:
    Rebecca: Why did "Green Day" decide to do a "Rock Band" game?
    Billie Joe: It was a new way of getting our music out there. Formats are constantly changing, and there are really no rules for the way you put your records out anymore. There are also so many people who are gamers. I am not, but I have played the drums [in "Rock Band"], and I am terrible.
    Rebecca: How do you respond to people saying that "Green Day" is not punk anymore? Have you changed your style in response to naysayers?
    Billie Joe: Our main goal is to write great songs, and that comes before genre. The thing about punk is that in any genre of music whether if it is punk, or blues, or jazz, or straight up rock and roll, there is purist on every side. So once you start getting outside of that, then they do not think what you are necessarily doing is quote on quote Punk rock. But for me, I want to be a great songwriter. So my range of songwriters, my favorites, goes anywhere from a band like the "Sex Pistols" all the way to Lennon-McCartney. That is what "Green Day" is. There are no rules.
    Rebecca: What do you think about the current state of punk rock?
    Billie Joe: There are always young bands playing in their garages. A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It is below the radar. The beauty of it is that you are not supposed to always know. It is subterranean.
    Rebecca: What makes you want to have a Broadway musical adaptation of "American Idiot"?
    Billie Joe: When we were first doing "American Idiot" and while we were making it, we always thought it was something very theatrical and it had a storyline to it. So we always thought it should be staged somehow whether it would be in the theater or would it be in something else. We really did not know how it was going to come up. So when Michael Mayer did a musical called "Spring Awakening", when he called, we took that call immediately.
    Rebecca: What is it like to be seeing your songs on stage?
    Billie Joe: It has been surreal. It has been amazing to hear the different voices, especially women to sing your songs. I did not really know that women can sound really that good singing your songs. They are even better than the way I sing them. So it was just great to see the story that you had in your head that was in the record for a minute and then suddenly it is on stage acted right in front of you and it was kind of like seeing the whole thing coming from fruition. It is like “This is what we have started with which was the album and now there is a stage production with the storyline” and it is pretty amazing.
    Rebecca: How did your band get its name?
    Billie Joe: I wrote a song called "Green Day" because I was smoking a lot of dope. Our drummer put "Green Day" on his jacket and said, "Maybe we should call the band that." And I said, "That is a good idea." We used to be called "Sweet Children".
    Rebecca: How do you create a setlist for live shows?
    Billie Joe: Setlists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the setlist at the drop of a hat.
    Rebecca: A while ago, in "Behind the Music" on "MTV", you said you regretted signing to a major record label. What do you think now?
    Billie Joe: I have no regrets at all. I did not know what head space I was in [when I said that]. Back then, I had a lot of time to reflect on my life and career. But no, I do not regret signing to a major. It was the right thing to do, and we have had no problems.
    Rebecca: Do you think that musicians have a responsibility to try to have a social or political message in their music?
    Billie Joe: I think that the only people that should have responsibility for singing about social issues or politics or anything like that are the ones that are not full of shit about it or the ones that are not preaching. If you are going to write a political song, it has got to come from the same place that you would write a love song. It cannot be some empty rhetoric where you are involved in a bunch of finger-pointing. You have to have yourself involved in it. So when it is like I have that song that says “Don’t want to be an American Idiot”, I am talking about myself and what is going on in my country at the same time and how I fit into it and how I feel alienated from it at the same time. So, it is self-deprecating, but it is also trying to empower yourself.
    Rebecca: What bands have influenced you?
    Billie Joe: When I first started getting into music that mattered for me, I would say that a lot of Minneapolis bands like "Hüsker Dü" and "The Replacements". Then after that, "The Ramones" and then the local punk rock scene that we came from in Berkeley which was bands like "Operation Ivy" and "Crimpshrine" and this great record compilation called "Turn It Around" which was like the first sort of wave of the "Gilman Street" punk band that was coming out of there. So, that was a pretty big record for me.
    Rebecca: Why do you never seem to age?
    Billie Joe: (Laughs) Age? Oh, I age. I definitely age every single day as this time goes on, I am aging. As soon as it is there, it would be in the past. So, I think trying to mentally keep yourself in a place where you still have excitement in your life and you are always in awe and you always have that thing about you of where you are dreaming the next dream and never resting on your laurels and not going through emotions and that is to me, that is the Fountain of Youth. I mean, it has nothing to do with the wrinkles on your face or how fat you get or if you get gray hair. It is just your zest for life.

    I'm not concerned with whether or not Green Day is still purely "punk".

I'm 21 now and just saw them in concert a few nights ago and it was incredible.

    I've always thought about Green Day as a mix of Sex Pistols and The Beatles. Anyone who have listened a lot of Pistols and Beatles can recognize influence of both in Green Day's songs. In this video Billie Joe confirmed that. Green Day are the best join of The Beatles and Sex Pistols in their unique way and I just love them.

      +Rick hickd I didn't say they are. I'm just saying - behave yourself. Who do you thin you are to talk to others like you did? An in my initial comment I said that Green Day sounds like a mixture of Sex Pistols and The Beatles to me. You can disagree, but that doesn't give you the right to be insolent.

    • @SimbaOS

    They might have been a punk band since Insomniac, but you gotta admit, they're still a great rock band and they still kept that punk attitude for a good, long time in their career, so that in itself is something to be impressed by. Cause if there's anything the media doesn't like, it's anything having to do with true punk at heart.
