Green Day Expanding The Mayhem
Green Day expects to return in 2009, but what will their new album bring? Singer Billie Joe Armstrong tells AlternativePress.com, quote, "I always try to look at the possibilities of how you write music. You know, it's like how do you take something -- and it could be anything from The Creation and The Who to The Beatles to Cheap Trick to The Jam -- and try to expand on the idea of what is supposed to be three-chord mayhem?" Armstrong says he tries to find ways to be unpredictable in the band's approach and is always pushing himself to be progressive as a songwriter. The group has been holed up in the studio in recent months working with producer Butch Vig. |
