Ashton Irwin: “I'm more a fan of Green Day’s live recordings. They're so amazing; I love that Billie can command a stadium. He and Dave Grohl have that power. I look at that and get really inspired. That's the way we perform, a lot of yelling and shit. We want to get a toilet paper gun for the next tour.”
Calum Hood: “I think that’s ("Jesus of Suburbia") one of the craziest songs that’s ever been written. At some point, you think you’d be like, ‘Okay, that’s enough,’ but the whole nine minutes is just so good. I love it.”
