Notes:
Billie Joe Armstrong performing as second guitarist for Rancid
Billie Joe Armstrong: "That time I was in Rancid for a week."
"The first guy to try out for the job, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, played a Gilman show with Rancid, and although it worked well ('It was rad, it was great,' says Matt), Billie, as Tim puts it, 'had other things going on. Another band he was doing pretty well with.'"
Jason White: "The night after I moved here, we went to Gilman and saw Econochrist, D.O.A. and Rancid. Billie Joe was playing second guitar with Rancid that night. Todd [a.k.a. Michelle Cruz Gonzalez], my girlfriend at the time, said, 'The word around the town is that a major wants to sign them.' People were talking about it."
Wikipedia: "...Previously a three-piece, Rancid was in need of a second guitar player to refine their sound. They had briefly performed live with Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day as their second guitar player, but Billie Joe decided to stay with Green Day rather than become a full member of Rancid. Radio was written in the short time that Billie Joe was in the band, and he therefore was a co-writer of the song. After Billie Joe decided to leave, Frederiksen filled the spot..."
