KAISER CHIEFS has revealed how Green Day taught them how to behave on tour.
The Leeds band said they hoped there would be wild rock n' roll parties when they toured with the punk band, but were quickly told that wasn't going to happen.
Drummer Nick Hodgson said: "They're very ordinary. We thought that Green Day would be real rock 'n' roll divas until we went on tour with them from Ireland to Scotland.
"The manager told us we had to get off the tour bus when we boarded the ferry and we said, 'I bet Green Day don't have to.'
"But when we got off the bus we saw that Green Day were the first off, sat in a cafe at 6am."
But Hodgson admits he does use his rock star status to his advantage on occasion.
He added: "Sometimes you get last orders after last orders and that kind of thing. And I seem to spend a lot of time on the phone to (utility company) British Gas.
"As soon as they find out I'm a Kaiser Chief, they suddenly become much more helpful."
