Mike Dirnt wrote the bassline for "Longview" while on acid.

In a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the Green Day bassist told an interviewer:

"When Billie gave me a shuffle beat for “Longview,” I was frying on acid so hard. I was laying up against the wall with my bass lying on my lap. It just came to me. I said, “Bill, check this out. Isn’t this the wackiest thing you’ve ever heard?” Later, it took me a long time to be able to play it, but it made sense when I was on drugs." - Mike Dirnt (Green Day: Best New Band, Rolling Stone 1995)

Billie Joe would later go on to add "Mike's bass-line is probably one of the most played bass-lines in Guitar Center history." - Billie Joe Armstrong (Confessions of a Basket Case, VH1 2002)
