Notes:
- Billie Joe Armstrong: "And there was this backyard party that Sweet Children played, and the kid that was filling in at the time, me and Mike were looking for a drummer, and this guy was in this crazy band called Isocracy, his name is John Kiffmeyer, and he's a couple of years older and at the time he was a veteran in that community. John, thank you. Thank you so much. I love you and God bless your family. ...John Kiffmeyer from Isocracy came up and said, 'I heard you guys were looking for a drummer. My band's breaking up and I really want to be in your band.'"
- Jason Beebout: "John just decided this one day to join 'em. And that kind of broke up Isocracy. John and I had gone up to Willits to hang out with Larry and Kain and Tre, and got to know them pretty well. We came back and suddenly John had gotten hooked up with Billie and Mike. I remeber him telling me, "I got this great new band." I was like, 'Really?' 'Yeah, we're gonna be huge. The singer's a genius.' It was like, 'Okay, whatever.' John was always really full of shit about stuff. But then he started playing with them."
