Kerrang

Tomorrow, Billie Joe will be featured in the latest issue of Kerrang Magazine as apart of their "rock's greatest lyrics" feature.

"So much more than just words, lyrics are at the heart of music. They provide a glimpse into the mind of a rockstar and invite you in to bond with them. We look at the best of the best, including the likes of Kurt Cobain, James Hetfield, Billie Joe Armstrong and more tell us their favourite lyricists, favourite lyrics and what they mean to them. "

If you're in the UK you can pick up this issue of Kerrang from your local news stand now, or order a subscription online. Hopefully we'll be able to get scans of the article up by next week for those of you who are outside of the UK.
