Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has released a cover of John Lennon’s protest song “Gimme Some Truth.” Originally released on the Beatle’s 1971 solo album Imagine, the song was later covered by Generation X in 1978. Armstrong says the Generation X version was the first one he heard, and that his rendition lands “somewhere in between” Lennon and Billy Idol’s recordings. Take a listen below.

After canceling their 2020 tour dates, Green Day recently revealed the rescheduled dates for their Hella Mega Tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer. The band’s most recent album Father of All… was released earlier this year. In May, they also released a cover of Blondie’s “Dreaming.”
