An interview with Simple Plan's bassist David Desrosiers was posted on Atalantic Records website, and he talks about how "Dookie" was the first album he bought and how Green Day inspired him to play.



It is always great to hear from other musicians who mention Green Day as the band that inspired them. No doubt there countless of others out there who saw Green Day and felt the same urge to play along.
