Auf Ultimate-Guitar.com findet ihr das verkürzte Interview mit Billy Joe Armstrong über das neue Album, welches 2009 erscheinen soll.

“I’m pushing myself to be progressive in songwriting and being a songwriter.

“I come from a culture where I’m into great albums, and I still believe in that. I’m fiddling more with the arrangements and writing songs.

“I think the way we make records is just kind of a classic way of making records. Everybody uses Pro Tools now, you know–we use Pro Tools, and we use tape.”

“In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom [Delonge], Travis [Barker], and I have all spoken together,” he writes. “First through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. They’ve all been great, very positive conversations. We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. It’s a good thing.”

Addressing possible reunion questions, Hoppus writes, “Obviously the first question for a lot of people will be “Does this mean a blink-182 reunion?” The answer is none of us know. We haven’t talked about it at all. Right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. The events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. Life is too short.“

Their last album, “American Idiot“, was a massive critical and commercial success and the band followed up the album with the “side project” Foxboro Hot Tubs who released “Stop Drop and Roll!!!” earlier this year.
