Green Day have responded to Lady Gaga's claims she was so obsessed with their 1994 album 'Dookie' that she wanted to lick the album's artwork.
In a video interview for MTV – which you can watch by scrolling down now – the band's Billie Joe Armstrong called Gaga's admission "bizarre", though he later expressed his approval.
"She's a good artist. She's a risk-taker," he said of her obsession. "She's an original. It's pretty awesome."
Drummer Tre Cool was more surprised by Lady Gaga's claims, explaining: "Usually when you hear the pages [have] been stuck together it's from some other bodily fluid."
The band also praised Kings Of Leon in the video interview, stating that they've been following the Followill's career closely.
