Kerrang! Magazine has a 5 page feature on the making of American Idiot, which came out last week - just in time for the albums 6 year anniversary.

They talk to Billie Joe, Mike, Tre and Rob Cavallo about what into making this album. It's actually a pretty great read, with Billie Joe spending some time reflecting on writing and recording the album, as well as the subsequent success of it.

The font is a little small to read, but just zoom in a bit and it's completely readable. Thanks to Cazzaline for posting the scans on the forum.
