61: Why American Idiot Hit Harder in Japan Than You Think w/ Taka & Rob Cavallo

On this episode of CD Burners, we're diving into American Idiot by Green Day, the album that blew open the doors for a new era of punk rock. We're joined by special guests, the legendary award-winning producer, Rob Cavallo and Taka from ONE OK ROCK, who tells the story of hearing the album for the first time in Japan without speaking a word of English, how it inspired him to leave pop behind, and why American Idiot still hits just as hard today. From political anthems to rock operas, this is the global legacy of Green Day’s most ambitious record. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
