In addition, Welcome to My Panic includes new acoustic performances of “Basket Case,” “Good Riddance,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” and “American Idiot.”
In a sample clip from Audible, Armstrong talks about meeting bassist Mike Dirnt for the first time.
“He wanted to be a stand-up comedian, even at a young age back when we were that young,” Armstrong says of Dirnt. “He had a routine, he had all these jokes, he got in a lot of fights, he pissed a lot of people off. And I just immediately liked him.”
