    This guy knows how to interview a full band. Kudos for calling each member out and showing their importance by directing questions to everyone.
  • @worldismyashtray
    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
  • @southcityman
    The album sounds immaculate, bursting with energy.

    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

    Another stellar interview by Tom Power with true rock icons. A great start to my day.

    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.
  • I love the fact that Billie Joe and Green Day came over to England to record the album 😍🇬🇧😍💚
  • Dilemma is now another of my favourite songs from my favourite band. Keep em coming!
  • @_.carlab._
    Father to a Son on repeat. What a great album.
  • @SeanPLangdon
    I remember when Green Day came out when I was in middle school, it was so awesome, sounds of growing up
  • @user-xn1qo8zf7n
    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.❤❤❤
