00:02:19
signed to um a major label and there's
00:02:23
this uh a kind of a a rule of no major
00:02:27
label bands everything's got to be Indie

DIY why yeah did that feel kind of weird
00:02:32
yeah it was heartbreaking was it yeah
00:02:35
yeah it was just like kind of
00:02:38
lost like a like your home you know what
00:02:42
would you say you learned
00:02:44
here Community how to do things yourself
00:02:47
you know the importance of um knowing
00:02:51
you trusting in the people around you
00:02:52
and what is possible yeah you know yeah
00:02:56
no racism no sexism no homophobia it's
00:02:59
it's right there on the door yeah it
00:03:00
always has been yeah would this place
00:03:02
have been just packed to the gills I had
00:03:05
seen yeah for Green Day shows you know
00:03:08
eventually I mean sometime it was always
00:03:10
up and down it all yeah like sometimes
00:03:12
there's 20 people in the room yeah I
00:03:14
mean I've seen some of the best shows
00:03:16
I've ever seen in my life here yeah you
00:03:18
know to I mean Operation Ivy snfu and
00:03:21
Neurosis Neurosis you know a lot of you
00:03:24
know Crim Shrine all the like the that
00:03:26
was this was our scene you know it was
00:03:29
like we didn't
00:03:31
we didn't come from late
00:03:33
1977 stuff and we didn't come you know
00:03:36
we we didn't wasn't cbgbs for us it
00:03:38
wasn't like what with hardcore in the
00:03:41
early 80s it was like it was this was
00:03:43
our scene these was our bands you know
00:03:46
that we we grew up with it was
00:03:48
documented locally but never really out
00:03:50
there and a few years ago a lot of the
00:03:52
people from the scene um along with our
00:03:54
help uh we were able to make a Doc a
00:03:56
documentary about it called turn it
00:03:58
around and it's um really tells about
00:04:00
our scene and where it starts where it
00:04:01
comes from and what it meant to the
00:04:03
people here so what did it what did it
00:04:05
mean to be part of the community that
00:04:06
kind of created the music that came out
00:04:08
of
00:04:09
here yeah we were learning and we were
00:04:12
just kids you know learning so we were
00:04:13
taking our cues from people who were
00:04:15
already pointing in the right direction
00:04:16
yeah you know and um and really that's
00:04:19
what Billy is saying you know we in high
00:04:21
school I wasn't learning anything you
00:04:22
know um we were a lot of a lot of people
00:04:25
here were the kids were here were latch
00:04:26
key kids and stuff and so we learned
00:04:28
Community Family values you know but
00:04:31
also work I learned my short game right
00:04:33
over there on the basketball
00:04:35
court I'm gonna go in the
00:04:39
bathroom yeah it's so funny on the the
00:04:43
urinal there's a Green Day tribute band
00:04:46
they're called not Green
00:04:47
[Laughter]
00:04:49
Day so you guys have two major
00:04:52
anniversaries and a new album which in
00:04:55
just in reading it I was like I was
00:04:57
really upset to honestly that the Duke
00:04:59
he like 30 years old now you having a a
00:05:02
more acute sense of time with these
00:05:04
anniversaries facing you I don't know
00:05:06
like with like playing American Idiot
00:05:09
and and playing dookie it's like a it's
00:05:12
kind of honoring your past you know um
00:05:15
but yeah sometimes I I um my memories
00:05:19
can be pretty vivid you know obviously
00:05:21
going through Gilman Street and then uh
00:05:23
making dookie you know being on tour and
00:05:26
then 10 years later it's American Idiot
00:05:30
you know but I think it's like we've
00:05:31
just been able to always be making music
00:05:34
for so long it just kind of keeps you
00:05:37
know it's just a constant journal and
00:05:39
journey you in some respects you've
00:05:41
reinvented yourselves but everything
00:05:43
you've done has reflected on what you've
00:05:44
done before it feels like to me you know
00:05:47
I don't know what it feels like to you
00:05:49
yeah that that sounds about right I mean
00:05:50
I I think it's an evolution right yeah I
00:05:53
think saviors is
00:05:56
definitely a product of everything we've
00:05:58
learned throughout our entire career um
00:06:01
you know and to have these two massive
00:06:04
record uh anniversaries at the same time
00:06:06
is like it's just it's it's interesting
00:06:10
it's also you know kind of humbling too
00:06:12
it's like wow what a great career we've
00:06:14
had it is nice to be able to stop and
00:06:16
look back yeah I just appreciate the
00:06:18
moment but also the past moments as well
00:06:21
what makes you want to make music at
00:06:23
this point in your careers or is that
00:06:26
ever
00:06:27
present I mean for me making music um
00:06:31
and being in a band it gives me a sense
00:06:33
of purpose yeah for one thing it's all
00:06:35
I've done since I was 5 years old yeah
00:06:38
and I mean I get into other stuff it's
00:06:41
like uh constantly just sort of the
00:06:43
thought of just like you know I dream
00:06:45
and Melody and and Concepts and lyrics
00:06:49
and things like that so I I just keep on
00:06:52
you know if there's a m there I keep
00:06:54
following it down yeah with us like
00:06:57
making music is more of a natural
00:06:59
instinct than say
00:07:04
bathing true story true story Mike what
00:07:09
about you I'm just
00:07:10
curious I mean I think Billy's right
00:07:12
it's it's purpose you know it's
00:07:14
also some I mean like writing a great
00:07:18
record you just know that's going to be
00:07:20
around forever and we've always the
00:07:22
commonality we all have is that we all
00:07:23
know that this is the most important
00:07:25
thing we're ever going to do is
00:07:27
creatively we're going to leave
00:07:29
something that's going to out lust us
00:07:31
yeah that has weight to it so we try to
00:07:32
honor that and we it's always been
00:07:34
really important to us to be make
00:07:35
something you know everybody wants to
00:07:36
leave a mark right so I think we're
00:07:38
Natural Born Thrill Seekers you know
00:07:41
it's like you know instead of you know
00:07:43
jumping out of airplanes we play in
00:07:45
front of 60,000 people yeah that's still
00:07:48
a thrill mhm this is your 14th album
00:07:51
which is like also pretty amazing
00:07:56
um was what was that no I it's just
00:08:00
crazy to think that it's been we've been
00:08:02
we've made 14 albums I think that's what
00:08:05
I mean where it's like we we just keep
00:08:07
going and then all of a sudden someone
00:08:09
will point something out and then you
00:08:11
know every record is an an era of your
00:08:13
life yeah but a lot of bands get stuck
00:08:17
you know at a certain point going like
00:08:18
what have I got to say what am I going
00:08:19
to say now that's
00:08:21
natural doesn't seem to have happen to
00:08:23
you for me writing lyrics is always
00:08:26
trying to find the things and the
00:08:30
insecurities the vulnerabilities and you
00:08:32
know the looking at your viewpoints or
00:08:35
whatever of the world it's having the
00:08:37
guts to admit to yourself the things
00:08:40
that you won't uh you don't normally
00:08:42
admit to yourself and that's what like
00:08:44
music is and writing songs is for me MH
00:08:48
what is that process
00:08:50
like the process for me starts in my
00:08:54
brain with Melody yeah and just you know
00:08:57
it it there's not much has changed just
00:08:59
sitting around playing my guitar and
00:09:02
then something clicks I guess my
00:09:03
question is how do you take the melody
00:09:05
and marry it to whatever insecurity
00:09:07
you're going to deal with if that's what
00:09:08
you're talking about well sometimes the
00:09:11
the The Melodies and the songs like they
00:09:13
just sort of give way to like the
00:09:16
feeling and matching the feeling to what
00:09:19
the music is like conveying on the new
00:09:22
record there's a song like um Corvette
00:09:26
Summer which is kind of a song about
00:09:28
being like
00:09:29
very you know something very simple like
00:09:31
I you know I I just want to listen to
00:09:33
rock and roll and uh and and then
00:09:37
there's other things like the American
00:09:38
dream is killing me yeah the melody and
00:09:41
lyrics just all came out at one time
00:09:43
they did it yeah it's just uh and
00:09:46
there's no really explaining it it just
00:09:48
does MH where do you think it came from
00:09:51
I think that that song is just sort of
00:09:53
about the uh the stress and anxiety of
00:09:57
Living in America right now and being an
00:10:00
American and sort of How It's you're hit
00:10:03
every single day with the algorithm
00:10:07
of uh chaos yeah and and whatever is
00:10:12
happening in our country at the time you
00:10:14
know
00:10:16
politics uh you know the culture I mean
00:10:20
I'm thinking about that because there's
00:10:21
a song on the album father to a son yeah
00:10:24
um which which has a couple of really
00:10:26
great lines in it yeah I forget the one
00:10:28
about love and anger
00:10:30
yeah um um I never thought I never knew
00:10:33
a love could be like stronger than anger
00:10:36
like for me being a father was on the
00:10:37
job training like I didn't know
00:10:40
everything I did back then was impulsive
00:10:42
you know is for everybody pretty much I
00:10:44
think yeah yeah you know I got it's like
00:10:46
after dookie um I was
00:10:49
married just three months after the
00:10:52
record came out you know to Adrien and
00:10:54
then found out the day after our
00:10:57
marriage the day we got married that we
00:10:59
were having a kid and do you think
00:11:01
that's changed you musically in any
00:11:03
way oh yeah being a parent makes
00:11:06
everything more apparent you know yeah
00:11:09
well I mean for us being in a band and
00:11:14
stuff like that like sleep deprivation
00:11:16
we were already used to so that part of
00:11:18
parenting was wasn't that bad but uh
00:11:21
where where parenting helps probably is
00:11:22
you get that Dad strength you know just
00:11:24
carrying kids and strollers and all the
00:11:27
the crap that comes with the children
00:11:28
and you get this extra layer of of of
00:11:32
beef and so now me personally I hit
00:11:35
harder now yeah we went straight from
00:11:38
putting out Doogie to cleaning up
00:11:45
Doogie for the anniversary of Doogie did
00:11:47
you go back and listen to sort of the
00:11:49
original
00:11:50
demos yeah I had cassettes that uh demos
00:11:55
that we had made on a Ford track that
00:11:58
had been sitting around for for
00:11:59
preserved for 30 years yeah what did
00:12:02
what did you hear when you listened to
00:12:03
him I heard that we knew exactly what we
00:12:07
wanted yeah you know we went to Trey's
00:12:11
parents place where it was they lived up
00:12:14
lived up in the woods up in Menino
00:12:16
County yeah and um we record you know we
00:12:19
I was like I just brought my for track
00:12:21
with me and then we you know made these
00:12:23
demos and it was just kind of like we
00:12:25
wanted to be prepared but like when I
00:12:27
look back on it now I was like wow we
00:12:29
knew what we wanted you know but it was
00:12:31
just in a more of a low-fi kind of way
00:12:34
yeah some of that have some of that had
00:12:36
Evolution to it too you could see some
00:12:38
lyrical changes mhm you know you could
00:12:41
see oh that was a different Bridge or
00:12:43
whatever
00:12:44
but we you know as the demos progressed
00:12:47
right before it went in like Billy said
00:12:48
we wanted to be prepared that's that was
00:12:50
a big studio and we didn't want to waste
00:12:51
time you know or money yeah be before
00:12:53
that like you know to record a record
00:12:56
you had like a day so you'd better
00:12:59
rehearsed your your material knew
00:13:00
exactly yeah what you wanted to do so we
00:13:03
had rehearsed that and we came into
00:13:06
fantasy and then we kind of we didn't
00:13:08
have to like make things up so we're
00:13:09
kind of like soaking it up like oh what
00:13:11
does this do what does this do what and
00:13:13
I feel like we learned a ton on that you
00:13:16
know you with big 2in tape and and the
00:13:19
big lot of knobs a lot of lights yeah so
00:13:22
we were kind of like what's that what's
00:13:23
that what's that bigger room and we
00:13:26
didn't have to like really think about
00:13:27
like oh what's the song structure we
00:13:29
knew how to play the songs yeah at that
00:13:31
point were you thinking the stakes were
00:13:32
pretty high yeah we went in with just
00:13:36
like to go in and make the best record
00:13:39
that we possibly could yeah um you know
00:13:42
we we took a chance basically and we
00:13:45
knew that it was going to be a Breaking
00:13:47
Point from like what where we were at
00:13:50
when we were playing places like Gilman
00:13:51
Street yeah and then suddenly going into
00:13:54
a different world you know like um what
00:13:57
was what was the world you were going
00:13:58
into I mean the the way you saw it I saw
00:14:00
it as going into the main the
00:14:03
possibility of going into the mainstream
00:14:05
and which we've always flown under the
00:14:08
radar and we were a part of an like a
00:14:11
network of um people booking shows and
00:14:15
VFW Halls and backyards and garages all
00:14:18
throughout the country and we could play
00:14:21
you know anywhere from 200 to 500 people
00:14:24
but nobody knew that like in the
00:14:26
mainstream it wasn't like Spin Magazine
00:14:28
was covering us or like so when we came
00:14:31
out we had a pretty big following
00:14:34
already so it kind of took a lot of
00:14:36
people off guard we were like who are
00:14:38
these guys you know yeah were you
00:14:41
reaching for something at that point I
00:14:43
me we were trying to make a we were
00:14:45
trying to make a one a great record
00:14:49
something that sounded like us but in a
00:14:51
bigger sound yeah there was really no
00:14:53
looking back we were kind of outgrowing
00:14:55
a lot of the small clubs we were playing
00:14:56
in and you know we C I didn't want to go
00:14:58
back to work work for UPS again we want
00:15:00
flip Burgers um yeah so we wanted to
00:15:03
look forward and and do what we
00:15:07
basically at that point felt like we
00:15:08
were put on this Earth to do MH I wanted
00:15:10
to hear us on the radio yeah what did it
00:15:12
feel like it felt like I wanted to keep
00:15:15
hearing us on the
00:15:17
radio as soon as it was over it's like
00:15:20
okay well now what I I want to hear it
00:15:23
again like yeah it was it's you know
00:15:25
it's like crack yeah Rob cavalo um you
00:15:29
know producing dookie is like he had
00:15:31
done this band called The muffs he had
00:15:33
he he knew how to make great guitar
00:15:35
sounds and stuff and bigger sounds I
00:15:37
just remember really wanting to hear our
00:15:39
band like our song sound that big yeah
00:15:42
you know because it always been kind of
00:15:44
lowii before because we just couldn't
00:15:45
afford to you know record any in a big
00:15:47
Studio or a nicer yeah our first record
00:15:50
cost 700 bucks to make really yeah on
00:15:52
Lookout records yeah yeah Rob Rob did um
00:15:55
he did American Idiot too right yeah
00:15:58
yeah he's done a lot of records with us
00:15:59
yeah so when so it's like he's done all
00:16:01
three of these mhm saviors yeah we
00:16:03
definitely have chemistry with Rob he is
00:16:06
a um student of music and he's just a
00:16:09
lover of music and he's a very very um
00:16:13
vast knowledge of recording and the
00:16:17
music music history everything else and
00:16:19
that's something we all share a love for
00:16:21
yeah and he's an expert on us yeah yeah
00:16:25
which is is that a good thing or is that
00:16:27
a good thing or a bad thing you have to
00:16:29
ask him yeah well it's great cuz he he
00:16:32
knows how to get the best performances
00:16:34
out of us yeah you know he we can take
00:16:35
off the producer hat ourselves and he
00:16:38
can and just let him drive it was 10
00:16:40
years later with that album but the
00:16:41
stakes were pretty high for you guys
00:16:42
again because I mean some folks thought
00:16:44
at that point some folks thought you
00:16:46
guys were past your
00:16:47
Prime they were
00:16:51
wrong you make records and sometimes
00:16:55
it's like the metrics of what people
00:16:56
think is success is it's so strange
00:17:00
because soon as you sell like 10 million
00:17:03
records you know with with dookie
00:17:05
anything less than that is looked at
00:17:07
sort of not being successful so people
00:17:10
kind
00:17:11
of you know thought like maybe we were
00:17:14
over or over our Prime we wanted to make
00:17:17
our you know Tommy we wanted to make our
00:17:20
Ziggy Stardust we wanted to make our
00:17:23
Sergeant peppers a lot of bands feel
00:17:25
that way we wanted we felt that way from
00:17:27
the very beginning and that was our
00:17:29
opportunity when it came to idiot that
00:17:31
we're like okay Now's the Time Yeah well
00:17:34
like when insomnia came out I remember
00:17:36
some uh interviews like so are you guys
00:17:39
disappointed that it's only four times
00:17:42
platinum and it's like yeah what a drag
00:17:45
yeah I don't find a lot of artists
00:17:47
necessarily measure their albums that
00:17:49
way do you guys I mean against each
00:17:50
other do you do
00:17:52
that I I think they um they sort of all
00:17:57
work together really like I don't think
00:17:59
that um there's one record that reacts
00:18:03
against another record they all sort of
00:18:05
yeah are ingredients to you know what
00:18:08
we've got going now which I think is
00:18:10
pretty tasty treat how would you say you
00:18:12
got here to this
00:18:15
album it's strange first I just wanted
00:18:17
to make like a a punk record that was
00:18:19
more like you know songs like look mono
00:18:21
brains Cola City uh living in the 20s
00:18:25
now I want to make something that sounds
00:18:26
more Stadium something big like good
00:18:29
night
00:18:30
Adeline uh and saviors and American
00:18:34
dream is killing me by the time we we
00:18:36
got together and I we're like you know
00:18:39
we're like well we have like six 16 17
00:18:42
songs I think it's time to go in the
00:18:43
studio and I was like really okay let's
00:18:46
go by that time it was like we were like
00:18:49
and then I was like oh now I know what
00:18:52
this thing is like pulled everything
00:18:54
together like like what Mike was saying
00:18:56
about the knowledge that we a Through
00:18:59
The Years mhm and uh oh I see what
00:19:01
you're saying you're saying that you
00:19:02
realized that this album was kind of
00:19:04
pull pulling everything you've done
00:19:06
together yeah it just happened to be
00:19:09
that it it landed cohesive with this uh
00:19:13
we TR you know whatever we're writing
00:19:14
we're trying to write the best version
00:19:16
of that that we ever can or that we you
00:19:18
know that we can and and you know so
00:19:21
you're kind of getting a little bit of
00:19:22
everything that we've ever done in this
00:19:23
but I think you're getting it at the
00:19:25
highest quality that we've ever done it
00:19:27
you know there's a song on this called
00:19:28
the which I I love it maybe my favorite
00:19:30
song in the record but oh thanks um I
00:19:33
think I read that you you said that it's
00:19:35
some of the most personal writing you've
00:19:37
done yeah I mean the first line is of
00:19:42
dilemma is welcome to my problems it's
00:19:45
not an invitation yeah it sort of kind
00:19:47
of works in two ways where it's like uh
00:19:50
it's very personal when it comes to like
00:19:52
talking about sobriety and um falling
00:19:54
off the wagon wagon coming back on you
00:19:57
know and then um it's but it works in
00:20:00
another way where it's like the people
00:20:03
that are actually partyers in the crowd
00:20:05
are like I was sober now I'm drunk again
00:20:08
you know yeah you know and I'm like oh
00:20:12
you know so it's uh yeah it's kind of
00:20:15
the the way that it works is uh uh just
00:20:20
I don't know I love that song it's one
00:20:21
my favorite song The Record what took
00:20:22
you to that
00:20:24
subject it kind of the same thing as uh
00:20:27
American Dream where it just all
00:20:30
happened right at once m is
00:20:33
the um the melody hit the lyric hit yeah
00:20:36
and then um you know I have I make voice
00:20:39
notes of like different Melodies on my
00:20:41
you know I I put on my phone right um
00:20:44
and then um and it just that that
00:20:47
happened it just write itself in like 20
00:20:50
minutes you mentioned Melodies and
00:20:52
dreams how often does that happen it's I
00:20:55
wouldn't say dreams I say more like
00:20:56
Daydreams okay yeah yeah so they just
00:20:59
float stuff just floats into your head
00:21:01
yeah yeah and we see it happen to him do
00:21:04
yeah we'll be like hanging out just
00:21:07
hanging in make conversation and
00:21:09
then oh you're you don't know what I'm
00:21:13
saying right now you're you're writing a
00:21:15
song aren't you like H and then and then
00:21:17
he'll like huh what it's like no no keep
00:21:19
doing that we put the sign on him and
00:21:22
says he'll be back in a half an
00:21:24
hour you played American Idiot New Year
00:21:26
Eve you change you changed the lyrics
00:21:28
which as you know seemed to upset some
00:21:31
people I've been saying Maga agenda for
00:21:34
the past since 2016 and then um and it
00:21:39
said magga agenda I one word it wasn't
00:21:41
even a word it was a hyphen
00:21:44
yeah and then like and then everybody
00:21:48
picked up on it yeah you know so I uh
00:21:51
but I'm I'm proud of what I said I stand
00:21:53
behind it a th% yeah what do you make of
00:21:57
that the chaos that comes out of
00:21:59
something like that I think I think it's
00:22:00
very telling of the temperature of the
00:22:02
world right now yeah what I'm really
00:22:04
proud of is I I didn't tweet it I sang
00:22:07
it yeah you know that's like it's easy
00:22:09
to go up and like tweet something at the
00:22:13
top of your head and you know it's like
00:22:16
for me saying it comes more from the
00:22:18
heart it goes to show you that music um
00:22:21
is powerful and can be dangerous and can
00:22:24
be it can you know tip the needle that's
00:22:26
still the power of music isn't it that's
00:22:28
kind of refreshing in some ways I think
00:22:30
yeah all of my favorite bands and
00:22:32
singers have always been some form uh
00:22:36
they've all been Rebels and they've all
00:22:38
been yeah some form of protest music but
00:22:42
Love Will Keep Us Together love will
00:22:45
tear us
00:22:46
apart is it important for you to still
00:22:50
be a protest band in some way do you
00:22:52
think is that what sort of the punk part
00:22:54
of it has always always been about I
00:22:56
think it you know we've always wanted to
00:23:00
keep our Edge yeah you know I think that
00:23:03
that's why we work so hard and and have
00:23:07
the patience and to wait for those
00:23:09
inspired moments where it it feels like
00:23:11
it's like a new idea it's a fresh idea
00:23:14
it's not something that is uh you know
00:23:16
like I like I said this record I feel
00:23:18
like for saviors is years in the making
00:23:22
because you you know there was a much
00:23:24
bigger story that needed to be told
00:23:26
about where where America was heading
00:23:29
from after Obama yeah you know through
00:23:31
the Trump era and sort of the
00:23:33
divisiveness that was coming on like
00:23:35
coming through in America like the from
00:23:38
the right and the left a lot of just
00:23:39
like you know it's just like people just
00:23:42
shouting uh so I I think just watching
00:23:46
the world evolve and or devolve and uh
00:23:50
write write the
00:23:52
lyrics um you're going out on tour yeah
00:23:56
we're doing the savior's tour and and uh
00:23:59
we're going to be playing dookie in its
00:24:01
entirety and American Idiot in its
00:24:03
entirety it's just so wild to have those
00:24:05
two records to
00:24:07
be exactly 10 years apart yeah I don't
00:24:10
think anybody ever has ever had the
00:24:14
those kinds of records that come you
00:24:16
know at that particular time and uh I
00:24:19
think it's it's a once- in a-lifetime
00:24:22
yeah opportunity to come see those two
00:24:24
records we don't know if we're ever
00:24:26
going to do them again I think it's
00:24:27
going to be
00:24:28
some really special shows you know we're
00:24:31
obviously going to throw some other
00:24:32
things in there too we've got a new
00:24:33
album and so it's a kind of a trifecta
00:24:35
moment you know it's really neat to see
00:24:37
these three albums come together and be
00:24:40
able to go up there and and uh yeah and
00:24:42
just celebrate our past we never really
00:24:44
looked back a whole lot uh we or too far
00:24:47
forward we kind of stayed in the moment
00:24:48
but this is a I want to savor this
00:24:51
moment you know yeah I think we all can
00:24:53
I want to save this moment I knew that
00:24:55
was
00:24:57
coming hey
00:24:58
where's your dad
