MEMBERS: Billie Joe Armstrong - Mike Dirnt (Mike Pritchard) - Tre Cool (Frank Edwin Wright, III) BIRTHDAY: Billie Joe Armstrong (February 17, 1972) - Mike Dirnt (May 4, 1972) - Tre Cool (December 9, 1972) BIGGEST POP SINGLE: "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" (2005) BIGGEST LP:Dookie(1994) GRAMMY AWARDS: 5 ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE: 2015 "Sometimes I think we've become totally redundant because we're this big band now, we've made a lot of money - we're not punk rock any more. But then I think about it and just say 'You can take us out of a punk rock environment, but you can't take the punk rock out of us.'" - Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day, 2005 Green Day consists of childhood friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitars, vocals) and Mike Dirnt (bass), along with Tre Cool (drums). The band got started in California when Armstrong and Dirnt formed a band named 'Sweet Children' while in their teens. When drummer, Al Sobrante (also known as John Kiffmeyer), was added to the mix in 1989, Green Day was formed (Tre Cool became the band's permanent drummer after the release of their first EP and after Sobrante decided to go to college). Green Day is often credited with some other similar groups for reviving interest in punk rock music. In a review of one of their LPs, Green Day was summed up by a Rolling Stone's Mark Coleman: "The beauty of classic punk rock lies in its utter simplicity: Crude rhythms, rude attitude, pumping adrenaline and a loudly pronounced point of view are key. Once you get sucked in by that formula, any punk band sounds good at first - because the musical rush is so basic, familiar and overwhelming. That's also the reason most punk bands - and records - ultimately turn out to be crap. In punk the good stuff actually unfolds and gains meaning as you listen without sacrificing any of its electric, haywire immediacy. And Green Day are a good as this stuff gets.
