Earlier this year when Green Day was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Mike Dirnt sat down with Klipsch, one of the most well known companies for headphones and speakers.

It's a very short interview with Mike answering questions such as the first album he bought:

The soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I purchased it when I was five years old at Goodwill for 25 cents. Funny thing…in 2011, it was our stage walk-on music for the 21st Century Breakdown tour.


Or the one artist we can't live without on the road:

David Bowie
