I try not to overplay, basically. I'm always leery of not crowding anyone and of not overplaying. I think less is more... As we play along, if it seems like it's fitting and if I keep hearing something in my head, I'll ask the guys what they think. A perfect example of that is "Minority" I had that bass note in my head and Billie wrote the song. At first it was just power chords. I had this melody in my head and we were playing it like a standard Green Day format song. I asked the guys if they minded if we tried something different and I played them the melody that was in my head. Billie really liked it; he changed the vocal melody at the end for a little turnaround. I asked Tre if we wanted to commit to the song being kind of Irish sounding, if he wanted to go to the snare and do a kind of marching drum roll. And he nailed it.
