Damn I'm getting old... I was a freshman in highschool when this aired, lol. The guys have changed a lot over the years, and the music has certainly changed quite a bit. The band grew up as I did, and I think the music still kicks ass. Billie Joe is one of the greatest songwriters of his generation.
Everyday is a Green Day to me! Woah, when I watch Green Day interviews I always find out that I'm a lot like them more and more. Like when he said he wrote his first song when he was 14 was weird because I just wrote my first song and I'm 14... Oh whatever. I love Billie Joe!
He said he was 23, but he looks like a teenager. A teenager who underwent hard times after his father died. He seems respectful and mature at the same time. Wise beyond his age. "You know." :)
No, they got married in 94, and the day after the wedding they found out she was pregnant with Joey. Then Billie had to go on and do the Dookie tour. He was born later that year.
"He was just hammering on it like un un un and then he threw it in the air and it slammed on the ground and everyone was already off stage and I was like yeahhhhhhh" lol billie
Y'know Billie is so funni I met them and they are so sweet and down to earth Cuz y'know they care about their fans that's awsome rock on green day! Billie Joe is the new god worship him daily May Billie be with you
@TheLynch100 lol, in the words of Tre: We have fans that are swimming around in people's testicles right now I hadn't even been conceived when this was filmed. I was born in '96, and I know Green Day fans that are a heck of a lot younger than me.
It's so weird having a sibling that much older than you (it's really cool, though). My only brother is 18 years older than me. Bless his mother for having 6 kids spread across that long a time!
Ok this will sound weird, but anyone know where I can get a shirt like that? Just the gray with the black around the neck and sleeves? Been looking everywhere but cant find the type. Crazy to think Billie Joe can make such a boring shirt look so cool
awe look at this! i haven't seen this one before thanks for adding it! (im about to send it out to my contacts). where did you find the video? record it off of TV and then put it on here a few years later? im always wondering how people get a hold of these old interviews =)
@artgirl1971 He ran out of his dads funeral because he couldn't handle it. His mom found him in his room, and asked him to come out. All he said was "Wake me up when September ends" (His dad died in Sept)
mm.. in my opinion.. It sounds GREAT to make FEB 17 , Green Day's DAY !.. Don't care abuot what Mike and Tre Feel.. I mean, I REALLY care, but they are not so childish to think about Billie Joe gets all the attention.. They just wanna rock it! YEAAH!.. Love Green Day so much!.
his speaking voice is so different from his singing voice
Billy Cobb he also sounds WAY different now that he's older
Yknow.
its similarly nasal, just he drops his larynx a lot when dinging
Hi billy
this is like the nicest ive ever seen him in an interview back then.
"It's not William Joseph, it's Billie Joe." IM DYING THIS IS HILARIOUS
I wish that I was a teenager in the early
90's so I could've grown up with these guys. :] I love them so much.
"did you learn anything from the book" "nuh lets just jam" omg😂
They’re actually talking about MUSIC. Note to interviewers, when you talk to musicians, talk about music!
Damn I'm getting old... I was a freshman in highschool when this aired, lol. The guys have changed a lot over the years, and the music has certainly changed quite a bit.

I never could figure out why Billie Joe is so approachable. He’s working class. the best class. ;)
this is the most adorable interview i’ve ever seen in my life
I had this on video like 20 years ago watched it all the time. Brings back memories.
What's the DVD/VHS called?
The haircut he described at 2:04 sounds like a modern one
heres a fun game : count how many times billie joe says ya know
and “like” I talk the exact same way as him
72
Like an AA meeting ya know?
Do a bump of meth every time he says ya know. And stay up for a week
here's a drinking game :>
he's so adorable!
I love Billie , and he is so cute and young here .! "Oh, no Billie Joe" and his funny expresion !
Everyday is a Green Day to me!
Woah, when I watch Green Day interviews I always find out that I'm a lot like them more and more. Like when he said he wrote his first song when he was 14 was weird because I just wrote my first song and I'm 14... Oh whatever.
I love Billie Joe!
MaestroLeech aw you're 24 now that's crazy
Grow up idiots.
It's really sad his father passed away...imagine being this guys father, watching him grow up to be who he is. Much Respect for Billie Joe
what a crazy house of music that must have been. Country Music, Elvis, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal.
Why does bllie joe have to be so friggin awesome?
He seems really relaxed and calm
it's hard to see that cause he's always under pressure
probably the best green day interview ever
He said he was 23, but he looks like a teenager. A teenager who underwent hard times after his father died. He seems respectful and mature at the same time. Wise beyond his age. "You know." :)
Working class, refinery town. wow. *moments of shiver*
i looooooooove this video hes so open and he makes hes life sound so funny without beeing this I-had-a-perfect-life guy.... thats why i love him
this video is the reason I love him
Omg the interview i was looking for where they talk about Blue :D
i love him🥺🥺
this is honestly my favorite interview of him
He sounds so young!!!!
"It's not William Joseph...it's just BILLIE JOE!" xD
"Did you learn anything from the book""No""Well damn"One of my favourite parts.
This is a really great interview!
So funny.
He is SO adorable
Sweet young Billie with blonde hair and weird lokking teeth. You can never get enough of him!
No, they got married in 94, and the day after the wedding they found out she was pregnant with Joey. Then Billie had to go on and do the Dookie tour. He was born later that year.
I've been looking for this interview for a long time! I remember when I first saw it when I was in Junior High School.
Thanks for posting this!
"He was just hammering on it like un un un and then he threw it in the air and it slammed on the ground and everyone was already off stage and I was like yeahhhhhhh" lol billie
Y'know
Billie is so funni I met them and they are so sweet and down to earth
Cuz y'know they care about their fans that's awsome rock on green day!
Billie Joe is the new god worship him daily
May Billie be with you
and he was just goin "UNH UNH UNH" just hammering on it... the face he makes when he says that is priceless....
@TheLynch100 lol, in the words of Tre: We have fans that are swimming around in people's testicles right now
I hadn't even been conceived when this was filmed. I was born in '96, and I know Green Day fans that are a heck of a lot younger than me.
AMAZING! words can't explain!
This is the interview that was stated on Billie Joe's Wikipedia
For some reason I absolutely love how he says 'straight up aggression'. :P
Billie is higher than the quality
I don't think he was high during this interview lol
I was born in October '95! :D I feel blessed to be born in the same month as the infamous y'know.
haha...I love his teeth! They´re adoreable and I also love the fact that he hasnt done anything about them since he got money ;)
It's so weird having a sibling that much older than you (it's really cool, though). My only brother is 18 years older than me. Bless his mother for having 6 kids spread across that long a time!
Ok this will sound weird, but anyone know where I can get a shirt like that? Just the gray with the black around the neck and sleeves? Been looking everywhere but cant find the type. Crazy to think Billie Joe can make such a boring shirt look so cool
Did you find one in these 4 years?
Anxietyicecream hahahaha 5 now
It's called a ringer shirt, you can find them for like 5 bucks by gildan
5:22 And I was like YEAHHH! It'll never gets old...
This sounds like Billie, but an MTV interview from 94 featured a much deeper-voiced Billie.
This is the greatest answer i ever read for the explanation of the song.. haha.. ! thanks =P
this is going in my favorites
does his shirt say korn? I can't find my pixel glass anywhere
Kpfa it's a Berkeley independent radio station
billie joes "YEEEEEEEEAHH" is the cutes thing ever
god i love billie
it's the call letters for a Berkeley radio station here... it's known as "the people station" here.
it's funny, he still has a lot of the same mannerisms now as he did back then
I've been listening to green day for ages and I didn't know he listened to heavy metal!!
The Replacements! even better.
awe 23
awe look at this! i haven't seen this one before thanks for adding it!
(im about to send it out to my contacts).
where did you find the video? record it off of TV and then put it on here a few years later? im always wondering how people get a hold of these old interviews =)
Well he said he wasn't the soloing type but you should here him in paper lanterns in 94 frickin great skillz he got there :)
Wow... this is the year I was born.

i really really like him

You end up a multi millionaire singing songs and your brother ends up in the refinery.

Pretty Cool dude

good interview.
he's so cute!
I have this interview on vhs somewhere. 😅 i recorded everything i could because i was an obsessed 14yr old.
2008 was 13 years ago wtf what even is time fuck time just slow tf down and even thinking about 1995 it’s way longer
The story he told at 4:58 is so funny !
5:22 .. " And I was like "Yeahh !" Thta was the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life! "
Man Billie Joe is awesome:)
ahh, he was SO cute
mm.. in my opinion.. It sounds GREAT to make FEB 17 , Green Day's DAY !.. Don't care abuot what Mike and Tre Feel.. I mean, I REALLY care, but they are not so childish to think about Billie Joe gets all the attention.. They just wanna rock it! YEAAH!.. Love Green Day so much!.
billie joe rocked then and still rocks and nobody EVER fuckin tell me that green day sucks now unless you want to be spammed very intensely. :3
he seemed much simpler than today
it was blonde when he was born but then it became brown. He dyes it black.
Lol. He did have a song about it on Dookie called, Coming Clean.
69,000 views! hells yeah!
yay Billie Joe!!!!!
Have you ever noticed that almost in every interview that Billie Joe is in he scraches his nose??? its weird but kinda cute! XD
does anyone know what this is an interview from? like what show? 'cause i know it's in '95, but it'd be cool to know what exactly..
