Meantime, here's the awesome story of Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar. His mum bought it for him for $300 from her tips and it's still the same one he's performing with now - "even after like a billion gigs". 

As he says "it's a kick-ass guitar for $300".

That came from the exclusive interview Green Day gave Triple M's Becko in LA where they talked about their whole career, their latest record, the state of US culture, and the love we all feel for them: "our fans rule"
