Billie Joe Armstrong frasi celebri

“Il punk rock è morto… e io l'ho fottutamente ucciso!”

Billie Joe Armstrong

“Un giorno un ragazzo mi chiese "Cos'è il punk?" Allora io diedi un calcio a un bidone e dissi "Questo è punk!" E allora lui fece la stessa cosa e mi chiese "Questo è punk?" e io risposi "No, questa è solo imitazione!"”

Billie Joe Armstrong

A guy walks up to me and asks &quot;What&#x27;s Punk?&quot; So I kick over a garbage can and say &quot;That’s punk!&quot; So he kicks over a garbage can and says &quot;That&#x27;s punk?&quot; and I say &quot;No, that&#x27;s trendy!&quot; <br class="br">Origine: Citato in Paul Hiebert, What Is Punk? 25 Definitions From People Who Should Know http://flavorwire.com/99393/what-is-punk-25-definitions-from-people-who-should-know, Flavorwire.com, 21 giugno 2010.

“La prima cosa che abbiamo pubblicato è stato nel 1989 quando avevamo solo 16 anni, eravamo ancora nel bel mezzo della pubertà. Il fatto che abbiamo continuato a farlo per così tanti anni, che abbiamo continuato a credersi è stupefacente. Penso che sia un fatto unico iniziare da così giovani, eravamo solo dei ragazzi un po’ strambi che si sono inventati questa cosa chiamata Green Day. Da allora è stato davvero un viaggio molto strano.”

Billie Joe Armstrong

“Per me il termine "rock'n'roll" non è assolutamente obsoleto. Significa libertà, è stato il mio modo per riuscire ad esprimermi e sarò eternamente grato per il fatto che sono stato in grado di riuscire a farlo per gran parte della mia vita. Il rock non ha mai perso quel significato di libertà d’espressione. Credo che sia la cosa più liberatoria che esista al mondo.”

“I guess that’s my biggest fear for this band. I worry that if it stops, it’s going to break down and end up in the junkyard. You can hear it with some bands, man, and you can tell when they haven’t been playing together because they’re too busy resting on their laurels. Most of the time, those bands are the ones that end up losing it.”

“I remember getting ready to do 'American Idiot' thinking that people were either going to call us brilliant or crazy for doing it and I think maybe we got a little bit of both in the reaction. With any album, you put in the best you can and you dig further than ever before and then you put it out never really knowing what will happen…”

“After a while I started to realise that it is my passion to play live for people and it is on all levels - from a club show to playing at Milton Keynes, or something like that. It’s a thing that we love to do and I’m addicted to the adrenaline of it”

“Whenever you write a record you run the risk of your ideas not appealing to certain sections of society, but there’s something about the energy we have that people get into and that’s never changed. There’s a lot more to punk rock than just a catchy song, it’s a deeper thing about community and connection - and I think we’re still part of that.”

“I have been in Green Day for most of my life, we have been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I just love how this band has evolved from a bunch of 'slackers' to one of the most socially conscious bands out there. It is pretty groovy to see how things have changed and yet it has all been a very natural process for us.”
