The general impression of your childhood is that you, Billie and Mike all came from stressed-out homes. But you all have rich family lives and speak honestly but respectfully of your parents.
I didn't have a normal childhood by any means. But it was what it was, and I appreciate what my parents did for me.
Such as letting you join a punk band, the Lookouts, at the age of 12.
Back in '93 and '94. when Dookie was being made, my dad built this tour bus for us, out of a bookmobile. We toured in it for the first year. It was a really bad idea, by the way. Kids, if you're listening to this at home [leans towards the tape recorder], if you're gonna go on tour, don't build your own tour bus. It was super-bouncy.
But it was awesome. We rolled up to Lollapalooza next to 20 tour buses with a ****ing bookmobile. We were parked in Oregon one time, buying a bag of weed off some guy. Some woman pulls the [back] door open, and goes 'Woah! This isn't a bookmobile! Sure smells good in here, though."
We still have the bookmobile. It's on my dad's land. Maybe we'll do something with it someday. He was really supportive. When we were in pre-production for Dookie, we all went up to my dad's house — he still lives in the woods — and set up our gear in his living room. I remember going through 'Welcome to Paradise" and perfecting the middle part up there. Me and Billie got lost in the woods on a hike — seriously lost in the deep-ass woods. We finally found a strip of road to walk down. That was fun.
I thought it was interesting that in a soundcheck yesterday, you were playing "Shakin' All Over." And there are Who-ish references all over your new album.
I saw the Who last year, and they were so awesome. I'd never seen them before. I wanted to go see them as a kid. I was invited, and my parents were like, "You don't need to see the Who with those people." So I didn't get to go. In hindsight, they were right [laughs].
What impressed you the most about that show?
That Pete Townshend can play the ****ing guitar! It's incredible. The records are great, but to see him do a solo live — it's like he's yelling, "Yeah, **** you!" at the crowd as he's bashing his instrument. He is not a young man anymore. But he has that teenager spirit. "My Generation" still speaks to my generation. It speaks to my kids' generation. Pete is timeless like that.
