omg people, i found this article about green day you have to read- it was on a billie joe fan site.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GREEN DAY were forced to dramatically change the way they functioned when BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG's controlling nature threatened to tear the band apart.
Tensions within the AMERICAN IDIOT band reached crisis point because bandmembers TRE COOL and MIKE DIRNT finally ran out of patience with Armstrong, who was failing to take their opinions seriously.
However, following a heated phone conversation with Dirnt, Armstrong accepted he needed to change tact to keep Green Day going.
Dirnt recalls, "Billie called me and said, 'Do you wanna do this any more?,' I said, 'Yes, but you got to let us in. We're not like, staff. You're the president but we're the cabinet and you've gotta consult us.'"
Armstrong remembers the point at which he realised they all had to change their attitudes.
He says, "It was stuff like Tre telling me WELCOME TO PARADISE was a sh**ty song, and me getting p**sed when they made fun of me."

bleeding_butterfly I think i've read thats somewhere before too. But I cannot remember where... It's from the British magazine "Q" I just read it today. I don't think that Mike nessecarily saved the band- I don't think it needed SAVING just committment and they all showed that. It was a good article though. 3nodding

ah stop, your going to kill me! how dare people write that, did they get it straight from the facts. i hope this has nothing to do with Billie writing most songs, well almost all the songs. But the band seems so cool with each other i hope that never happens, like Billie said, "the only way one of us is leaving the band, it's going to be in a body bag."

What if Billie were lieing, just so then people wouldn't think "HOMIGAWD NOES WAYZ THYR TINKIN OOF QUTIN!!!!"
