Green Day discussed their upcoming album, revealing that the title was inspired by Slayer’s Kerry King.

When discussing their new 2020 release, Father of All Mother Fuckers, Billie Joe Armstrong revealed that Slayer’s Kerry King influenced the title. “I think it was Kerry King from Slayer,” Armstrong explained. “They have an album called God Hates Us All, and someone asked, ‘Do you really think God hates us all?’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know! It’s just a badass title!’ As soon as the title came up, I was like, ‘Oh man, this is good.’”

Talking about the content of the album, Tre Cool said, “We don’t want to do what everyone would expect us to do, so it was just kinda mischief and making it fun. That was the bottom line of it.”
