Damn I'm getting old... I was a freshman in highschool when this aired, lol. The guys have changed a lot over the years, and the music has certainly changed quite a bit. The band grew up as I did, and I think the music still kicks ass. Billie Joe is one of the greatest songwriters of his generation.
Everyday is a Green Day to me! Woah, when I watch Green Day interviews I always find out that I'm a lot like them more and more. Like when he said he wrote his first song when he was 14 was weird because I just wrote my first song and I'm 14... Oh whatever. I love Billie Joe!
He said he was 23, but he looks like a teenager. A teenager who underwent hard times after his father died. He seems respectful and mature at the same time. Wise beyond his age. "You know." :)
@TheLynch100 lol, in the words of Tre: We have fans that are swimming around in people's testicles right now I hadn't even been conceived when this was filmed. I was born in '96, and I know Green Day fans that are a heck of a lot younger than me.
No, they got married in 94, and the day after the wedding they found out she was pregnant with Joey. Then Billie had to go on and do the Dookie tour. He was born later that year.
Y'know Billie is so funni I met them and they are so sweet and down to earth Cuz y'know they care about their fans that's awsome rock on green day! Billie Joe is the new god worship him daily May Billie be with you
Ok this will sound weird, but anyone know where I can get a shirt like that? Just the gray with the black around the neck and sleeves? Been looking everywhere but cant find the type. Crazy to think Billie Joe can make such a boring shirt look so cool
"He was just hammering on it like un un un and then he threw it in the air and it slammed on the ground and everyone was already off stage and I was like yeahhhhhhh" lol billie
It's so weird having a sibling that much older than you (it's really cool, though). My only brother is 18 years older than me. Bless his mother for having 6 kids spread across that long a time!
@artgirl1971 He ran out of his dads funeral because he couldn't handle it. His mom found him in his room, and asked him to come out. All he said was "Wake me up when September ends" (His dad died in Sept)
awe look at this! i haven't seen this one before thanks for adding it! (im about to send it out to my contacts). where did you find the video? record it off of TV and then put it on here a few years later? im always wondering how people get a hold of these old interviews =)
his speaking voice is so different from his singing voice
Billy Cobb he also sounds WAY different now that he's older
Yknow.
its similarly nasal, just he drops his larynx a lot when dinging
Hi billy
this is like the nicest ive ever seen him in an interview back then.
"It's not William Joseph, it's Billie Joe." IM DYING THIS IS HILARIOUS
I wish that I was a teenager in the early
90's so I could've grown up with these guys. :] I love them so much.
They’re actually talking about MUSIC. Note to interviewers, when you talk to musicians, talk about music!

The haircut he described at 2:04 sounds like a modern one
"did you learn anything from the book" "nuh lets just jam" omg😂
I had this on video like 20 years ago watched it all the time. Brings back memories.
What's the DVD/VHS called?
this is the most adorable interview i’ve ever seen in my life
I never could figure out why Billie Joe is so approachable. He’s working class. the best class. ;)
Everyday is a Green Day to me!

I love Billie Joe!
MaestroLeech aw you're 24 now that's crazy
Grow up idiots.
he's so adorable!
I love Billie , and he is so cute and young here .! "Oh, no Billie Joe" and his funny expresion !
what a crazy house of music that must have been. Country Music, Elvis, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal.
heres a fun game : count how many times billie joe says ya know
and “like” I talk the exact same way as him
72
Like an AA meeting ya know?
Do a bump of meth every time he says ya know. And stay up for a week
here's a drinking game :>
Why does bllie joe have to be so friggin awesome?
Working class, refinery town. wow. *moments of shiver*
It's really sad his father passed away...imagine being this guys father, watching him grow up to be who he is. Much Respect for Billie Joe
He seems really relaxed and calm
it's hard to see that cause he's always under pressure
He said he was 23, but he looks like a teenager. A teenager who underwent hard times after his father died. He seems respectful and mature at the same time. Wise beyond his age. "You know." :)
probably the best green day interview ever
i looooooooove this video hes so open and he makes hes life sound so funny without beeing this I-had-a-perfect-life guy.... thats why i love him
He sounds so young!!!!
i love him🥺🥺
"It's not William Joseph...it's just BILLIE JOE!" xD
this video is the reason I love him
Omg the interview i was looking for where they talk about Blue :D
this is honestly my favorite interview of him

Sweet young Billie with blonde hair and weird lokking teeth. You can never get enough of him!
I've been looking for this interview for a long time! I remember when I first saw it when I was in Junior High School.
Thanks for posting this!
Y'know
Billie is so funni I met them and they are so sweet and down to earth
Cuz y'know they care about their fans that's awsome rock on green day!
Billie Joe is the new god worship him daily
May Billie be with you
This is a really great interview!
So funny.
He is SO adorable
Ok this will sound weird, but anyone know where I can get a shirt like that? Just the gray with the black around the neck and sleeves? Been looking everywhere but cant find the type. Crazy to think Billie Joe can make such a boring shirt look so cool
Did you find one in these 4 years?
Anxietyicecream hahahaha 5 now
It's called a ringer shirt, you can find them for like 5 bucks by gildan
"Did you learn anything from the book""No""Well damn"One of my favourite parts.
This is the interview that was stated on Billie Joe's Wikipedia
AMAZING! words can't explain!
and he was just goin "UNH UNH UNH" just hammering on it... the face he makes when he says that is priceless....
"He was just hammering on it like un un un and then he threw it in the air and it slammed on the ground and everyone was already off stage and I was like yeahhhhhhh" lol billie
Billie is higher than the quality
I don't think he was high during this interview lol
For some reason I absolutely love how he says 'straight up aggression'. :P
It's so weird having a sibling that much older than you (it's really cool, though). My only brother is 18 years older than me. Bless his mother for having 6 kids spread across that long a time!
god i love billie
awe 23
it's the call letters for a Berkeley radio station here... it's known as "the people station" here.
This sounds like Billie, but an MTV interview from 94 featured a much deeper-voiced Billie.
it's funny, he still has a lot of the same mannerisms now as he did back then
this is going in my favorites
The Replacements! even better.
I was born in October '95! :D I feel blessed to be born in the same month as the infamous y'know.
billie joes "YEEEEEEEEAHH" is the cutes thing ever
does his shirt say korn? I can't find my pixel glass anywhere
Kpfa it's a Berkeley independent radio station
5:22 And I was like YEAHHH! It'll never gets old...
haha...I love his teeth! They´re adoreable and I also love the fact that he hasnt done anything about them since he got money ;)
I've been listening to green day for ages and I didn't know he listened to heavy metal!!
Dang, June '95.
Wow... this is the year I was born.
I'm born october 95':')
gd forlifetime !
@artgirl1971 He ran out of his dads funeral because he couldn't handle it. His mom found him in his room, and asked him to come out. All he said was "Wake me up when September ends" (His dad died in Sept)
