Billie Joe stated that things were currently in a state of “total chaos” with no themes decided, but went on to say he’s been writing on a piano rather than a guitar. He continued by saying:
“We’ve been doing this for almost twenty years now. You want to make sure you’re being honest with yourself. I also have to ask myself, ‘What’s real out there?'” Right now it seems stagnant…So we’re only in our second year of bearing down and finding out what we want to do. I just want to put my head down and keep grinding at it.”
