Billie Joe Armstrong is a John fan
(Thanks to funkymonkeygirl from OHG forums)
In the February issue of Guitar Player, Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day singer/guitarist, talks about style, influence, direction, etc.
Do you rely on any specific influences?
I go for the classics-anything from the Beatles to Social Distortion. Specifically regarding guitarists, I love Steve Jones and Johnny Ramone, and I also love John Frusciante.
