In a recent interview with Alternative Press, Billie Joe of Green Day talks about the upcoming album, the follow-up to American Idiot. He talks about working with producer Butch Vig, bucking rock-star stereotypes, and pushing himself to write the most powerful songs of the band's 20-year career.

"I'm pushing myself to be progressive in songwriting and being a songwriter. I come from a culture where I'm into great albums, and I still believe in that. I'm fiddling more with the arrangements and writing songs. I think the way we make records is just kind of a classic way of making records. Everybody uses Pro Tools now, you know--we use Pro Tools, and we use tape."
