Guitar World recently posted a new interview with Mike Dirnt where he talks about his collection of vintage basses, Green Day's 30-year career, and their latest album, Father Of All Motherfuckers.

He also talks about the pressure of following American Idiot:

“The follow-up to American Idiot was probably the hardest writing and recording cycle of our careers – because we’re just not built for mailing it in, and we could have done that. There was a lot of pressure, because there was nothing on the table ready to go."
