Article Summary

  • Billie Joe Armstrong reflects on sobriety and the origins of new song "Dilemma".

When they're not taking time out on New Year's Eve to piss off a whole lot of Donald Trump worshippers and MAGA whackjobs on network television, Green Day has been getting the word out about their new album. With the band's 14th studio album dropping this Friday, the band has been making the rounds – playing a mix of new tracks from Saviors with hard-hitting hits from an impressive musical career. Earlier this week, Green Day stopped by SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show to catch up with Howard Stern and the gang – and that included some funny & heartfelt annecdotes as well as three jaw-dropping performances. While we can expect to see a whole lot more of the band over the next few days & weeks, kicking things off with a look at Green Day in a much more open yet intimate setting just felt like the right thing to do – enjoy!
