Billie Joe Armstrong reflects on his music career and some of his personal life experiences in a new episode of Audible's "Words + Music" series, titled "Billie Joe Armstrong: Welcome to My Panic."
The frontman and guitarist for four-time Grammy award-winning rock band Green Day holds nothing back as he tracks listeners though his deeply personal and artistic journey in raw detail.
"Matching his emotional storytelling with new, exclusive, recordings of Green Day's biggest hits including 'Basket Case,' 'Good Riddance,' 'Wake Me Up When September Ends,' and 'American Idiot,' Armstrong chronicles the seminal moments in his life: the trauma and triumphs that have come to define him. As we listen, Billie Joe reminds us punk rock is not about how hard you can play but how hard you can remain yourself," says a summary.
The hour-and-a-half-long audio experience, co-produced by Gunpowder & Sky and Audible for the recently expanded "Words + Music" musical storytelling initiative, was released on Thursday.
