Green Day: ‘21st Century…’ Is Our Most Hopeful Record
Billie Joe Armstrong tells Ian Camfield that the band’s eighth album is their most optimistic to date.
Green Day’s new album, ‘21st Century Breakdown’, is the band’s most hopeful record yet according to the band. Singer Billie Joe Armstrong was in conversation with Xfm’s Ian Camfield when he made the revelation.
“When you listen to the record, it’s about trying to find a deeper meaning”, said the frontman. “It’s about trying to make sense of natural disasters or religion, or trying to rally yourself at difficult times.
“It’s hard to tell, but this is our most hopeful record we’ve ever made. You really have to sit down and listen the whole way through to understand that”.
Billie Joe Armstrong was being interviewed with bandmates Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool for Ian Camfield’s Green Day Special, set to be aired on Xfm tomorrow (Saturday, May 15) at 11am. As well as being able to listen live on-line, xfm.co.uk will also be giving you the opportunity to listen back to the hour-long programme from midday.
