Billie Joe Armstrong Shares Unearthed ‘I Get Around’ Cover in Tribute to Brian Wilson
Billie Joe Armstrong has paid tribute to Brian Wilson by sharing a cover of the Beach Boys' 1964 classic "I Get Around."
The Green Day guitarist and vocalist shared his rendition of the song on Instagram on Wednesday (June 12), hours after the news of Wilson’s passing broke. Armstrong’s rendition of “I Get Around” isn’t exactly a left-field choice for the musician, especially given the influence that many bands of the pop-punk genre have taken from the Beach Boys’ approach to music and songwriting. While Green Day’s 2009 track “Last of the American Girls” was noted as containing harmonies reminiscent of the Beach Boys, Wilson himself showed an ignorance toward the punk genre in 2015.
