Billie Joe Armstrong Honors Brian Wilson With Sizzling Cover of the Beach Boys’ ‘I Get Around’

Billie Joe Armstrong honored the late Brian Wilson with a cover of the Beach Boys' "I Get Around."

Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong paid tribute to the Beach Boys legend, dropping a cover of “I Get Around.” Armstrong shared his rendition of the 1964 classic on Instagram, which sonically veers into punk rock territory, featuring a killer guitar riff. Other rock greats have also penned heartfelt tributes, including Bruce Springsteen(“If there’d been no Beach Boys, there would have been no ‘Racing In The Street'”), Paul McCartney(“I loved him, and was privileged to be around his bright shining light for a little while”), and Bob Dylan (“Heard the sad news about Brian today and thought about all the years I’ve been listening to him and admiring his genius”).
