Green Day absolutely smoked us on a lot of those shows. It was obvious from the first night that they’d come for blood. They were on top of their game, working out before the shows, lifting weights, jumping rope. They marched onstage and their set was tight. Meticulous. Rehearsed. Choreographed to the point I could mouth along with everything Billie said between songs. We realized we had probably taken our hit-record status for granted and had grown complacent.
