Thanks!!! I`ve read this interview a couple of years ago, it`s one of the better interviews I`ve seen.

[noodlesdec25]

Yeah its a damm good interview.........there we can see also the realation with offspring and green day

[Obie2trice]

Yes, I must say I agree with Dexter. But these guys of Green Day have a great comeback with American Idiot at the moment, they are number 1 in several countries and their album will become ( or is already ) multi-platinum. But I don`t like the image of Green Day, the singer is wearing make-up dude :eek:

[saska de o...]

yep! respect for Dexter!

[delboy]

yep, he's a cool guy :cool:

[mrconeman]

This interview is 10 years old! If Dexter was asked the same questions now, would his answers have changed at all?

[Venezuelan_Nightmare]

Dexter: ‘Cause think the guys at MTV are complete idiots, and so are people at other TV shows. We were invited to David Letterman’s show, but we refused, because we didn’t wanna see our faces on the screen. We make videos, because our record company demands them. We don’t even like to have our pictures taken. We think, that if we had our faces on the cover of every magazine like Green Day, then the magic of The Offspring would be lost. We don’t wanna become boring pop starts...
I like this part awesome part xDDD :D

Bravo: Despite all this you guys are real punks?

Dexter: What is a “real punk”? Somebody who lives according to the “No future” slogan? In that case probably not. Punk for us is a musical category, which is means a sound with tempo and huge amounts of energy. We were inspired by bands such as The Dead Kennedys and T.S.O.L. We do think about our future, we even think about what will happen after the Offspring. I doubt we’ll be around as long as The Rolling Stones. I had to put collage on hold because of music.






I see, he has no clue about what a punk is...doesen't surprise me either.
I like what he said about this a few years ago like "i consider myself punk beacause I do what i want and don't care what other people say". That's not punk but is closer.

The "No future" thing is a message to the society, to capitalism.

Because you're a real punk?

[CommonRider]

seriously, I dont wanna be mean, but give me a break about trying to think you know what real punk is or something. All that stuff is bullshit, its just fast energetic rock music like Dexter said, Ive always thought that, none of that lifestyle shit, man "punks" are such hypocrites...

[Leo_ARG]

Because you're a real punk?

Doesen't matter what I am...the point is he didn't had a clue back then.

[anita]

dexter said there that he doesnt wanan play at age of 40, he would prefer to teach math at a university... then i wanna go there and study O.o even tho i hate math lol.. but seriously - u think he changed his mind? i want offspring playing forever >.>

[Manic subsidal]

That's pretty cool interview. I never knew they played a song called "very sarcastic" back when they were manic subsidal.

[noodlesdec25]

Actually what dexter said is what offspring is now.......they are comercial cause the record companny

in a 2004 interview he also said the same .........that the comercial side of the band is cause of the record comapny

OFFSPRING STILL GOT THE MAGIC!

[offspringbaby2004]
