Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is considering launching a solo career - because he and bandmates often get "sick of each other." The "Know Your Enemy" hitmakers have been rocking for more than 20 years, and Armstrong admits working in close quarters with bandmates Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt is sometimes a strain.

He tells People magazine, "You get sick of each other sometimes, so you try to allow each other some space. Maybe someday I'll do a solo record."

Armstrong is also grooming his two sons to follow in his musical footsteps.

The singer insists Joe, 14, and Jakob, 19, have inherited his talent and he enjoys regular jam sessions with the teens.

He tells People, "My oldest son is getting to be a very good drummer and my youngest takes guitar lessons. We've got a jam room in my house."

He claims they are already so good, they're rejecting his advice and tuition: "I teach them a little, but then they're like, 'Shut up!' When someone else teaches them, they tend to listen more.

Opinions on this?
I'd support him in everything he does, he just wouldn't be the same without Mike, Tre, and even Jason&Jason.

That typo, that's not my fault BTW. I know Jakob's not really 19; he's 11.

They've said recently that Green Day is forever. That doesn't stop them doing stuff away from Green Day as well though, like PHGP and such. But yeah, they've made a point of saying how well they get on and how 'no one leaves green day unless it's in a body bag' and such xD.

Plus gossip sites are terrible, never rely on them for your information. They'll take everything out of context for a headline they think is juicy.

Yeah. Wasn't there an article saying that they'd do Green Day till they die?

And also. If you're copy/pasting from a website why would you make a typo? AND, 9 isn't anywere near 1, usually typos are letters near each other.

AAAAND. In a Kerrang article it said they were still close friends and hung out. The only time they did have trouble was before American Idiot.

Yes. Silly silly gossip sites and gullible people.
