Green Day's Gaga Flattery

Green Day think it's ''awesome'' Lady Gaga was obsessed with their LP 'Dookie' as they are huge fans of the 'Poker Face' singer.

Green Day think it's "awesome" Lady Gaga was obsessed with their LP 'Dookie'.

The 'Know Your Enemy' rockers - consisting of frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool - are delighted at the 'Poker Face' singer's recent admission she was so infatuated with their best-selling 1994 album, she wanted to lick the CD's album cover.

Billie Joe said: "She's a good artist. She's a risk-taker. She's an original. It's pretty awesome!"

However, Tre admits he was surprised by the eccentric pop star's claims.

He to nme.com: "Usually when you hear the pages have been stuck together its from some other bodily fluid!"

Last week, Lady Gaga admitted she has preferred to buy CDs rather than download music ever since she bought the 'American Idiot' hitmaker's popular album.

She said: "You know, you can download an MP3 but you cannot download a lifestyle. And the culture of music - the visual behind the music and the dream of my show and what I believe in about performance and pop music - that's what compels young people to buy the hard album, and eat it, and smell it, and taste it.

"I remember when I bought Green Day's 'Dookie', I just wanted to lick the pages from the booklet! That particular album, I mean, it is iconic."
