The Story Behind: Green Day - Dookie, Ep. 256

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Green Day had built a steady following on the Berkeley punk scene when they (gasp) signed with a major label and spent lots more time and money to make Dookie. Rob, Tom, and Adam welcome a special guest to talk about selling out, exercising preternatural restraint, and of course, lead bass.
