NME<\/a>, Perry revealed that the long-running punk rock group had reached out to her about their record.<\/p>\n\u201cI had a full calendar and canceled six months of work to do it,\u201d she shared. \u201cI met with Billie Joe [Armstrong], and we talked for three hours. Like every artist, I think he had got to the point where you feel like I have nothing to say and need help \u2013 there\u2019s a therapy aspect to producing too.\u201d <\/p>\n
Courtney Love reportedly leaked the information about Perry\u2019s involvement in producing the album. The news led to some backlash towards the band because of who Perry previously worked with. <\/p>\n
\u201cSuddenly they started getting backlash from their fans, upset they were \u2018bringing in Linda Perry, who produced Pink and Christina Aguilera,’\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then those guys just stopped calling me.\u201d <\/p>\n
Perry accused the Green Day bandmates of ghosting her after the backlash. \u201cI would reach out to figure out what was going on,\u201d she said. \u201cNobody called. I lost six months of scheduled work. That was f\u2014ed up.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then called Armstrong a \u201clittle p\u2014y\u201d because he didn\u2019t like the backlash he received about her involvement.<\/p>\n
Green Day\u2019s management previously denied claims that Perry was involved in the project. The bandmates ultimately worked with Butch Vig for 2009\u2019s \u201c21st Century Breakdown.\u201d <\/p>\n
Perry Doesn\u2019t Have Any Hard Feelings Towards the Green Day Bandmates<\/h2>\n
Despite her harsh criticism of Armstrong, Perry no longer has any hard feelings toward the Green Day bandmates about the situation. However, she didn\u2019t appreciate how the band handled everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust call me and say, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re going to go a different way. I\u2019m not digging this backlash we\u2019re getting,’\u201d she noted. \u201cJust balls up, man. Not returning my calls was such a p\u2014y move, and I lost a lot of respect for Billie Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then accused the band\u2019s fans of being upset about her potentially producing the album because she was a woman and she had written pop songs. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was disappointed in those guys, and then I was mad at Courtney because if she would have just shut up, we would have made the record and it would have come out and it would have spoken for itself,\u201d she said. \u201cI had a vision and knew I was going to kill that record. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
