Billie Joe Armstrong Rocks Quotations

A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.

For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on 'Madden'.

I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.

I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.

I think we have the worst name in rock, I really do. It's the worst name in the world

Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.

Punk rock isn't supposed to be for everyone. There is that sort of private club mentality, which is necessary. It keeps things from getting watered down and boring.

I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else

To me, it doesn't feel like it's just another rock record that somebody put out. It feels like we taped into the culture a little bit

It would be great to do a rock opera, but using more low-fi technology. I love shitty-sounding records.

My job description is that I'm a rock star. And I'm good at it.
