Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction and mow down
any bullshit that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to nothing...
"We’ve been a band now for 22 years. The one thing I always commit to, and I’ve been in this band since I was 15 years old, I said ‘I will never ever ever leave this band ever!’. You know your favourite bands break up, some of your heroes, they die, your parents divorce. The only way you’re getting me out of this band is if you’re rolling me away in a fucking coffin, I’ll tell you that."
Billie Joe Armstrong (introducing When It’s Time, Marlay Park, Dublin, 23/6/2010)
