Green Day filmed their episode, “The Wrong Number,” in Vancouver, British Columbia, several weeks ago. Although the full details are still under relative wraps, Isaak says that episode finds the punk triad behaving in typically punk fashion. “They pretty much destroy my amps,” he says. “They wreck my house. I have to throw them out, but [Green Day singer] Billie [Joe Armstrong]… Read more »
