Billie Joe Armstrong Pitches Side Project in ‘This Is 40’ Outtake

Judd Apatow's This Is 40 has rolled out this deleted scene featuring Billie Joe Armstrong hawking a side project that he describes as "[taking] Norwegian death metal . . . and mixing it with, like, Belle and Sebastian." The Green Day frontman sits down for a face-to-face meeting with Paul Rudd's character, record label owner Pete, and makes a hard pitch for "music that you can cry to but also maybe burn a church down at the same time." The rocker has sold too many records and now wants to sell none – and that's why he picked Pete's label. Ouch.
