Members Billie Joe Armstrong


Mike Dirnt
Tré Cool
Jason White

Past members John Kiffmeyer

Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie
Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, drummer Tré Cool and guitarist and backing vocalist Jason
White, who became a full member after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years. Cool
replaced former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990, prior to the recording of the band's second studio album,
Kerplunk (1992).
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California. The
band's early releases were from the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, its major label debut
Dookie released through Reprise Records became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in
the U.S. Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, Bad Religion, The
Offspring and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States.[2]
Green Day's three follow-up albums, Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997), and Warning (2000) did not achieve the
massive success of Dookie, though they were still successful, with Insomniac and Nimrod reaching double platinum
and Warning reaching gold status. The band's rock opera, American Idiot (2004), reignited the band's popularity with
a younger generation, selling five million copies in the United States. The band's eighth studio album, 21st Century
Green Day 2

Breakdown, was released in 2009 which achieved the band's best chart performance to date. In 2012, 21st Century
Breakdown was followed up by a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! released on September,
November and December 2012 respectively.
They are one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold over 75 million albums worldwide. The group
has won five Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, Record of
the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Best Rock Album for the second time for 21st Century Breakdown and
Best Musical Show Album for American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording. In 2010, a stage adaptation
of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. The musical was nominated for several Tony Awards, including Best
Musical and Best Scenic Design.

History

Formation and Lookout! years (1987–1993)


In 1987, friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, 15 years old at the time, formed a band called Sweet Children.
Its first live performance took place on October 17, 1987 at Rod's Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California. In 1988,
Armstrong and Dirnt began working with Sean Hughes and the former Isocracy drummer John Kiffmeyer, also
known as "Al Sobrante". As said in the film Punk's Not Dead, Armstrong cites the band Operation Ivy (which
featured Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman of Rancid) as a major influence, and a group that inspired him to form a
band.
In 1988, Larry Livermore, owner of Lookout! Records, saw the band play an early show and signed the group to his
label. In 1989, the band recorded its debut extended play, 1,000 Hours. Before 1,000 Hours was released, the group
dropped the name Sweet Children; according to Livermore, this was done to avoid confusion with another local band
Sweet Baby. The band adopted the name Green Day, due to their fondness for marijuana.
Lookout! would release Green Day's debut studio album, 39/Smooth in early 1990. Green Day would record two
extended plays later that year, Slappy and Sweet Children, the latter of which included older songs that the band had
recorded for the Minneapolis independent record label Skene! Records. In 1991, Lookout! Records re-released
39/Smooth under the name 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, and added the songs from the band's first two EPs,
Slappy, and 1,000 Hours. In late 1990, shortly after the band's first nationwide tour, Sobrante left the East Bay area
to attend college. The Lookouts drummer Tré Cool began filling in as a temporary replacement and later Cool's
position as Green Day's drummer became permanent. The band went on tour for most of 1992 and 1993, and played
a number of shows overseas in Europe. The band's second studio album Kerplunk sold 50,000 copies in the U.S.[3]

Breakthrough success (1994–1996)


Kerplunk's underground success led to a number of major record labels being
interested in signing Green Day, and the band eventually left Lookout! and
signed to Reprise Records after attracting the attention of producer Rob Cavallo.
The group was impressed by his work with fellow Californian band The Muffs,
and later remarked that Cavallo "was the only person we could really talk to and
connect with". Reflecting on the period, Armstrong told Spin magazine in 1999,
"I couldn't go back to the punk scene, whether we were the biggest success in the
world or the biggest failure ... The only thing I could do was get on my bike and
go forward."[4] After signing with Reprise, the band went to work on recording
its major label debut, Dookie.

Recorded in three weeks, and released in February 1994, Dookie became a commercial success, helped by extensive
MTV airplay for the videos of the songs "Longview", "Basket Case", and "When I Come Around", all of which
reached the number one position on the Modern Rock Tracks charts. At a September 9, 1994 performance at Hatch
Memorial Shell in Boston, mayhem broke-out during the band's set (cut short to seven songs) and by the end of the
rampage, 100 people were injured and 45 arrested.[5] The band also joined the lineups of both the Lollapalooza
festival and Woodstock '94, where they started an infamous mud fight. During the concert, a security guard mistook
bassist Mike Dirnt for a stage-invading fan and punched out some of his teeth. Viewed by millions by pay-per-view
television, the Woodstock 1994 performance further aided Green Day's growing publicity and recognition, and
helped push its album to eventual diamond status. In 1995, Dookie won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative
Album and the band was nominated for nine MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year.
In 1995, a new single for the Angus soundtrack was released, entitled "J.A.R.". The single debuted at number one on
the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was followed by the band's fourth studio album, Insomniac,
which was released in the fall of 1995. Insomniac was a much darker and heavier response to the band's newfound
popularity, compared to the more melodic Dookie. The album opened to a warm critical reception, earning 4 out of 5
stars from Rolling Stone, which said "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 as good as this stuff gets."[6] The
singles released from Insomniac were "Geek Stink Breath", "Stuck with Me", "Brain Stew/Jaded", and "Walking
Contradiction".
Though the album did not approach the success of Dookie, it sold two million copies in the United States. In
addition, the album won the band award nominations for Favorite Artist, Favorite Hard Rock Artist, and Favorite
Alternative Artist at the 1996 American Music Awards, and the video for "Walking Contradiction" got the band a
Grammy nomination for Best Video, Short Form, in addition to a Best Special Effects nomination at the MTV Video
Music Awards. After that, the band abruptly cancelled a European tour, citing exhaustion.[7]

Middle years and decline in commercial success (1997–2002)


After a brief hiatus in 1996, Green Day began to work on a new album in 1997. From the outset, both the band and
Cavallo agreed that the album had to be different from its previous albums.[8] The result was Nimrod, an
experimental deviation from the band's standard pop-punk brand of music. The new album was released in October
1997. It provided a variety of music, from pop-punk, surf rock, and ska, to an acoustic ballad. Nimrod entered the
charts at number 10. The success of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" won the band an MTV Video Award for
Best Alternative Video. The song was also used in the second "clip show" episode of Seinfeld and on two episodes of
ER.
The other singles released from Nimrod were "Nice Guys Finish Last", "Hitchin' a Ride" and "Redundant". The band
made a guest appearance in an episode of King of the Hill entitled "The Man Who Shot Cane Skretteberg", which
aired in 1997. In late 1997 and most of 1998, Green Day embarked on a tour in support of Nimrod. In 1999, the
guitarist Jason White began supporting the band on the concerts as rhythm guitarist.
In 2000, Green Day released its sixth studio album Warning. In support of the album, the band participated in the
Warped Tour in 2000. The band also had an independent tour to support the album in 2001. Critics' reviews of the
Green Day 4

album were varied. Allmusic gave it 4.5/5 saying "Warning may not be an innovative record per se, but it's
tremendously satisfying." Rolling Stone was more critical, giving it 3/5, and saying "Warning... invites the question:
Who wants to listen to songs of faith, hope and social commentary from what used to be snot-core's biggest-selling
band?" Though it produced the hit "Minority" and a smaller hit with "Warning", some observers were coming to the
conclusion that the band was losing relevance, and a decline in popularity followed. While all of Green Day's
previous albums had reached a status of at least double platinum, Warning was only certified platinum.
At the 2001 California Music Awards, Green Day won all eight of the awards that it was nominated for. The group
won the awards for Outstanding Album (Warning), Outstanding Punk Rock/Ska Album (Warning), Outstanding
Group, Outstanding Male Vocalist, Outstanding Bassist, Outstanding Drummer, Outstanding Songwriter, and
Outstanding Artist.
The release of two compilation albums, International Superhits! and Shenanigans, followed Warning. International
Superhits and its companion collection of music videos, International Supervideos!. Shenanigans contained some of
the band's b-sides, including "Espionage", which was featured in the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
In the spring of 2002, Green Day co-headlined the Pop Disaster Tour with Blink-182 which was documented on the
DVD Riding in Vans with Boys.

In the summer of 2003, the band went into a studio to write and record new material for a new album, tentatively
titled Cigarettes and Valentines.[9] After completing 20 tracks, the master recordings were stolen from the studio.
Green Day 5

Instead of re-recording the stolen tracks, the band decided to abandon the entire project and start over, considering
the material to be unrepresentative of the band's best work. It was then revealed that a band called The Network was
signed to Armstrong's record label Adeline Records with little fanfare and information. After the mysterious band
released an album called Money Money 2020, it was rumored that The Network was a Green Day side project, due to
the similarities in the bands' sounds. However, these rumors were never addressed by the band or Adeline Records,
except for a statement on the Adeline website discussing an ongoing dispute between the two bands.
Green Day collaborated with Iggy Pop on two tracks for his album Skull Ring in November 2003. On February 1,
2004 a new song, a cover of "I Fought the Law" made its debut on a commercial for iTunes during NFL Super Bowl
XXXVIII.
The resulting album, American Idiot (2004),
debuted at number one on the Billboard
charts, the band's first album to reach
number one, backed by the success of the
album's first single, American Idiot. The
album was labeled as a punk rock opera
which follows the journey of the fictitious
Jesus of Suburbia. The album depicts the
modern American life under the control Green Day live in Germany during the American Idiot tour.
from an idiot ruler who let people be
misinformed by media as well as inserted "redneck agenda". It gives different angles on an everyman, modern icons,
and leaders on the topic. Released two months before U.S. President George W. Bush was reelected, the album
became protest art. American Idiot won the 2005 Grammy for Best Rock Album. The band also won a total of seven
awards out of eight awards for which they were nominated, including the Viewer's Choice Award in MTV Video
Music Awards 2005.

Through 2005, the band toured in support of the album with nearly 150 dates (Longest tour in their career) visiting
Japan, Australia, South America and the United Kingdom. While touring for American Idiot, they filmed and
recorded the two concerts at the Milton Keynes National Bowl in England, which was voted 'The Best Show On
Earth' in a Kerrang! Magazine Poll. These recordings were released as a live CD and DVD called Bullet in a Bible
on November 15, 2005. This CD/DVD featured songs from American Idiot as well as songs from all its previous
albums, except Kerplunk and 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. The DVD featured behind-the-scenes footage of
the band, and showed how the band prepared to put on the show. The final shows of its 2005 world tour were in
Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, on December 14 and 17 respectively.
On August 1, 2005 Green Day announced that it had rescinded the master rights to its pre-Dookie material from
Lookout! Records, citing a continuing breach of contract regarding unpaid royalties, a complaint shared with other
Lookout! bands.
On January 10, 2006 the band was awarded with a People's Choice Award as favorite musical group or band.

Green Day 6

Green Day engaged in a number of other smaller projects in the time following the success of American Idiot. The
group released an album under the name Foxboro Hot Tubs entitled Stop Drop and Roll!!! In 2008, the Foxboro Hot
Tubs went on a mini-tour to promote the record, hitting tiny Bay Area venues including the Stork Club in Oakland
and Toot's Tavern in Crockett, California.[10]
In an interview with Carson Daly, Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson
revealed that Butch Vig would be producing Green Day's forthcoming
album. The span of nearly five years between American Idiot and 21st
Century Breakdown was the longest gap between studio albums in
Green Day's career. The band had been working on new material since
January 2006. By October 2007, Armstrong had 45 songs written, but
the band showed no further signs of progress until October 2008, when
two videos showing the band recording in the studio with producer
Butch Vig were posted on YouTube. The writing and recording

process, spanning three years and four recording studios, was finally

finished in April 2009.

21st Century Breakdown, was released on May 15, 2009. The album received a mainly positive reception from
critics, getting an average rating between 3 and 4 stars. After the release, the album reached number one in fourteen
countries, being certified gold or platinum in each. 21st Century Breakdown achieved Green Day's best chart
performance to date. The band started playing shows in California in April and early May. It was their first live show
in about three years. Green Day went on a world tour that started in North America in July 2009 and continuing
around the world throughout the rest of 2009 and early 2010.

Wal-Mart refused to carry the album as it contains a Parental Advisory sticker and requested that Green Day release
a censored edition. The band members did not wish to change any lyrics on the album and responded by stating,
"There's nothing dirty about our record... They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there. We
just said no. We've never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something."
In 2009, the band met with award-winning director Michael Mayer and many cast and crew members of the Tony
Award-winning musical Spring Awakening to create a stage version of the album American Idiot. American Idiot:
The Musical opened in the Berkeley Repertory Theatre during the end of 2009. The show features an expanded story
of the original album, with new characters such as Will, Extraordinary Girl, and Favorite Son. On April 20, 2010,
American Idiot: The Musical opened on Broadway, and Green Day released the soundtrack to the musical, featuring
a new song by Green Day entitled "When It's Time". In June 2010 the iTunes received the single "When It's Time".
During the Spike TV Video Game Awards 2009, it was announced that Green Day was set to have its own Rock
Band video game titled as Green Day: Rock Band, as a follow-up to the last band specific Rock Band game, The
Beatles: Rock Band. The game features the full albums of Dookie, American Idiot, and 21st Century Breakdown as
well as select songs from the rest of Green Day's discography.
During the second leg of the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour the band had said that they are writing new
material. In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Armstrong spoke about the possible new album: "We did some
demos in Berlin, some in Stockholm, some just outside of Glasgow and some in Amsterdam. We wanted get [the
songs] down in some early form." The band also stated that they were recording a live album during the entire tour
on the last date of the tour in Mountain View, California, also before playing the song "Cigarettes and Valentines".
In October 2010, Dirnt was interviewed by Radio W, mentioning that they have completed the writing process of the
ninth studio album. In the interview, Dirnt also mentioned that a new live album will "most likely" be released. The
live CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray entitled Awesome as Fuck was released on March 22, 2011.
Green Day 7

¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! (2011–present)


During the end of 2011, the band played several secret shows whose
setlists consisted almost entirely of previously unheard songs. Green
Day entered the studio and began recording new material in February
2012, later announcing a trilogy of albums titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and
¡Tré! which would be released in the fall of 2012. The trilogy marked
longtime touring guitarist Jason White's induction as the fourth
member of the band. That summer Green Day played several festivals
and promotional shows including the Rock en Seine festival in France,
the Rock am See festival in Germany, and the Reading Festival in the Green Day performing in 2011

United Kingdom.

¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! were released on September 21, November 9, and December 7, 2012 respectively and were
met with generally positive reviews. On January 22, 2013 the band announced that ¡Cuatro!, a documentary about
the making of ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, would premiere on January 26 in Aspen, Colorado as part of the X Games
FILM showcase, and would be released on DVD April 9, 2013. Another documentary was announced called
Broadway Idiot which focuses on the creation on the American Idiot musical and Armstrong's run as playing the
character of St. Jimmy. On March 10, 2013, Green Day began their 99 Revolutions Tour to support the trilogy.

Musical style and influences


Green Day's sound is often compared to first wave punk bands such as
the Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, and the Buzzcocks.
Citing the band's musical style prevalent on Dookie, Stephen Erlewine
of Allmusic described Green Day as "punk revivalists who recharged
the energy of speedy, catchy three-chord punk-pop songs." While
Armstrong is the primary songwriter, he looks to the other band
members for organizational help. Billie Joe Armstrong has mentioned
that some of his biggest influences are seminal alternative rock bands
Hüsker Dü and The Replacements, and that their influence is
Green Day performing "King for a Day," a
particularly noted in the band's chord changes in songs. Green Day has
ska-inspired song featuring saxophones and
trumpets. covered Hüsker Dü's "Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely" as a
b-side to the "Warning" single, and the character "Mr. Whirly" in their
song "Misery" is a reference to the Replacements song of the same name.[11] Among other influences, Green Day
have also cited The Who and power pop pioneers Cheap Trick. English rock musician Noel Gallagher of Oasis
complained about the band semi-jokingly, claiming that they ripped off his song "Wonderwall" with their song
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams".

Related projects
Since 1991, members of the band have branched out past Green Day and have started other projects with other
musicians. Notable related projects of Green Day include Billie Joe Armstrong's Pinhead Gunpowder (which also
features Green Day's guitarist Jason White), The Frustrators in which Mike Dirnt plays bass, and The Network, a
collaboration between Green Day and members of the band, Devo in which all members play under fake stage
names. Green Day has also released an album titled Stop Drop and Roll!!! on May 20, 2008, under the name
Foxboro Hot Tubs, they currently use this name to book secret shows. In late December 2011, Armstrong formed a
new side band called The Boo along his wife Adrienne and their two sons.
Green Day 8

In September 2006, Green Day collaborated with U2 and producer Rick Rubin to record a cover of the song "The
Saints Are Coming", originally recorded by The Skids, with an accompanying video. The song was recorded to
benefit Music Rising, an organization to help raise money for musicians' instruments lost during Hurricane Katrina,
and to bring awareness on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the disaster.[12]
In December 2006, Green Day and NRDC opened a web site in partnership to raise awareness on America's
dependency on oil.
Green Day released a cover of the John Lennon song "Working Class Hero", which was featured on the album
Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. The band performed the song on the season
finale of American Idol. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008 but lost to The White Stripes' "Icky
Thump". That summer, the band appeared in a cameo role in The Simpsons Movie, where they perform the show's
theme song. Their version was released as a single on July 24, 2007.
In 2009, the band collaborated with theatre director Michael Mayer to adapt their rock opera American Idiot into a
one-act stage musical that premiered at the Berkeley Rep on September 15, 2009. The show then moved to
Broadway on April 20, 2010.
The reviews of American Idiot: The Musical have been positive to mixed. Charles Isherwood of The New York
Times wrote an enthusiastic review for the Broadway production. He called the show "a pulsating portrait of wasted
youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions ... only to transcend them through the power of its music and
the artistry of its execution, the show is as invigorating and ultimately as moving as anything I’ve seen on Broadway
this season. Or maybe for a few seasons past." Jed Gottlieb of the Boston Herald enjoyed the premise of the show but
found that "the music and message suffer in a setting where the audience is politely, soberly seated".
Michael Kuchiwara of the Associated Press found the show to be "visually striking [and] musically adventurous",
but noted that "the show has the barest wisp of a story and minimal character development". Paul Kolnik in USA
Today enjoyed the contradiction that Green Day's "massively popular, starkly disenchanted album ... would be the
feel-good musical of the season". Time magazine's Richard Zoglin opined that the score "is as pure a specimen of
contemporary punk rock as Broadway has yet encountered [yet] there's enough variety. ... Where the show fall short
is as a fully developed narrative." He concluded that "American Idiot, despite its earnest huffing and puffing, remains
little more than an annotated rock concert. ... Still, [it] deserves at least two cheers – for its irresistible musical
energy and for opening fresh vistas for that odd couple, rock and Broadway."[13] Peter Travers from Rolling Stone,
in his review of American Idiot, wrote "Though American Idiot carries echoes of such rock musicals as Tommy,
Hair, Rent and Spring Awakening, it cuts its own path to the heart. You won’t know what hit you. American Idiot
knows no limits—it's a global knockout." The musical has been nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best
Musical and Best Scenic Design. It was also nominated for a number of Drama Desk Awards and Outer Critics
Circle Awards.
In October 2009, a Green Day art project was exhibited at StolenSpace Gallery in London. The exhibition showed
artworks created for each of the songs on 21st Century Breakdown, was supported by the band, and led by their
manager Pat Magnarella. He explained in an interview that "[Artists are] basically like rock bands. Most are creating
their art, but don't know how to promote it." For Billie Joe Armstrong, "Many of the artists... show their work on the
street, and we feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression."
On April 13, 2011, a film version of American Idiot was confirmed. Michael Mayer, director of the Broadway
musical, will be directing the film. It will be produced by Green Day, Pat Magnarella (Green Day's manager who
also produced Bullet in a Bible, Awesome as Fuck, and Heart Like a Hand Grenade), Playtone (Tom Hanks and
Gary Goetzman) and Tom Hulce.
On January 23, 2013, it was announced that a documentary showing Armstrong's journey from punk rock to
Broadway was to be released. Called Broadway Idiot and showing a lot of behind-the-scenes of the American Idiot
musical production, the movie was directed by Doug Hamilton, veteran television journalist for CBS News' 60
Minutes and PBS documentaries such as Nova, Frontline and American Masters. A trailer was released on January
Green Day 9

30, 2013. The documentary will premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 15, 2013.

Controversy
The band has generated controversy over whether the band's musical style and major-label status constitutes as "true
punk". In reaction to both the style of music and the background of the band, John Lydon, former front man of the
1970s punk band the Sex Pistols commented:
"So there we are fending off all that and it pisses me off that years later a wank outfit like Green Day
hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves. They didn't earn their wings to do that and if they
were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do."
Armstrong himself has discussed the group's status of being a punk band on a major record label, saying "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.'"
On September 21, 2012, while Green Day was performing at the iHeartRadio music festival, lead vocalist/guitarist
Billie Joe Armstrong stopped while performing Basket Case, because he believed their time was being shortened,
possibly in order to extend R&B artist Usher's performance. Angered, Armstrong began ranting while a screen in the
rear of the audience was labeled "1 Minutes Left", saying "You're not gonna give me one fucking minute? You've
gotta be fucking kidding me!". He also told the crowd he was not Justin Bieber and labeled the festival as a "joke".
When the screen went blank, Armstrong smashed his guitar, while bassist Mike Dirnt smashed his bass. Armstrong
then gave the finger, and declared that Green Day would be back before throwing his microphone down and walking
off the stage. Two days later, the band's representative apologized for the incident on their behalf stating that "Green
Day would like everyone to know that their set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those they
offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas" also adding that Armstrong will be headed to rehab, for abuse of
alcohol and prescription pills for anxiety and insomnia. However Mike Dirnt would later say in an interview with
Rolling Stone that he agreed with what Billie Joe meant by his rant.

Billie Joe Armstrong (born February 17, 1972) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and occasional actor.
He is best known as the lead vocalist, principal songwriter, and guitarist of the punk rock band Green Day, which
Armstrong co-founded with Mike Dirnt. He is also a guitarist and vocalist for the punk rock band Pinhead
Gunpowder and provides lead vocals for Green Day's side projects Foxboro Hot Tubs and The Network.
Raised in Rodeo, California, Armstrong developed an interest in music at a young age, and recorded his first song at
the age of five. He met Mike Dirnt while attending elementary school, and the two instantly bonded over their
mutual interest in music, forming the band Sweet Children when the two were 15 years old. The band changed its
name to Green Day, and would later achieve massive commercial success. Armstrong has also pursued musical
projects outside of Green Day's work, including numerous collaborations with other musicians.
He also co-owns the record label Adeline Records, with his wife Adrienne and skateboarder Jim Thiebaud, with the
collaboration of Green Day's guitarist Jason White and more recently Green Day's manager Pat Magnarella.

Early life
Billie Joe Armstrong was born in Oakland, California, and was raised in Rodeo, California, as the youngest of six
children to Andrew "Andy" Armstrong and Ollie Jackson.[1] His father worked as a jazz musician and truck driver
for Safeway Inc. to support his family. He died of esophageal cancer on September 10, 1982. The song "Wake Me
Up When September Ends" is a memorial to his father. He has five older siblings: David, Alan, Marci, Hollie, and
Anna. His mother worked at Rod's Hickory Pit restaurant in El Cerrito.
Armstrong's interest in music started at a young age. He attended Hillcrest Elementary School in Rodeo, where a
teacher encouraged him to record a song titled "Look for Love" at the age of five on the Bay Area label Fiat Records.
After his father died, his mother married a man whom her children disliked, which resulted in Armstrong's further
retreat into music.
At the age of 10, Armstrong met Mike Dirnt in the school cafeteria and they immediately bonded over their love of
music. He became interested in punk rock after being introduced to punk rock by his brothers. Armstrong has also
cited Minneapolis-based bands The Replacements and Hüsker Dü as major musical influences. Armstrong and Mike
Dirnt's first live performance was at Rod's Hickory Pit in 1987; their first performance under the name Green Day
was in Davis, a college town approximately an hour's drive northeast of the San Francisco Bay area.
Along with Hillcrest Elementary, Armstrong attended Carquinez Middle School and John Swett High School,both in
Crockett, and later transferred to Pinole Valley High School in Pinole. On his 18th birthday (February 17, 1990), he
dropped out to pursue his musical career.

Career
In 1987, aged 15, Armstrong formed a band called Sweet Children with his
childhood friend Mike Dirnt. In the beginning, Dirnt and Armstrong both played
guitar, with John Kiffmeyer, also known as Al Sobrante, on drums, and Sean
Hughes on bass. After a few performances, Hughes left the band in 1988; Dirnt
then began playing bass and they became a three-piece band. They changed their
name to Green Day in April 1989, choosing the name because of their fondness
for marijuana. That same year, they released their debut EP 1,000 Hours through
Lookout! Records. They recorded their debut studio album 39/Smooth and the
extended play Slappy in 1990, which were later combined with 1,000 Hours into
the compilation 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours in 1991. Tré Cool eventually
became Green Day's drummer in late 1990 when Sobrante left Green Day in
Armstrong in 1994
order to go to college. California punk band Rancid's lead singer Tim Armstrong
asked Armstrong to join his band, but he refused owing to the progress with
Green Day. Cool made his debut on Green Day's second album, Kerplunk. With their next album, Dookie (1994), the
band broke through into the mainstream, and have remained one of the most popular rock bands of the 1990s and
2000s with over 60 million records sold worldwide.[2]

Apart from working with Green Day and side-band Pinhead Gunpowder, Armstrong has collaborated with many
artists over the years. He has co-written for The Go-Go's ("Unforgiven") and former Avengers singer Penelope
Houston ("The Angel and The Jerk" and "New Day"), co-written a song with Rancid ("Radio"), and sung backing
vocals with Melissa Auf der Maur on Ryan Adams' "Do Miss America" (where they acted as the backing band for
Iggy Pop on his Skull Ring album ("Private Hell" and "Supermarket"). Armstrong has produced an album for The
Riverdales. He has also been confirmed to be part of a side project called The Network, which released an album
called Money Money 2020. Money Money 2020 was released on Adeline Records, a record label co-owned by
Armstrong. Armstrong also provided lead guitar and backing vocals on 3 songs for The Lookouts' final extended
play IV (1989).
Hoping to clear his head and develop new ideas for songs, Armstrong traveled to New York City alone for a few
weeks, renting a small apartment in the East Village of Manhattan.[3] He spent much of this time taking long walks
and participating in jam sessions in the basement of Hi-Fi, a bar in Manhattan.[4] However, the friends he made
during this time drank too much for his liking, which was the catalyst for Armstrong's return to the Bay Area. After
returning home, Armstrong was arrested on DUI charges on January 5, 2003, and released on $1,200 bail.

In 2004, Green Day debuted American Idiot, their first rock opera. The album
has sold more than 15,000,000 copies worldwide, fueled by the hit singles
American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Wake me up When September
Ends. In 2009 Green Day published 21st Century Breakdown, the band's second
rock opera with a great commercial success too.
In 2009, their hit album American Idiot became a musical on Broadway.
In 2010, Armstrong joined the cast of American Idiot, which won two Tonys, for
one week in the role of St. Jimmy. He replaced the original Broadway cast
member Tony Vincent from September 28 to October 3. Armstrong returned to
the role of St. Jimmy for 50 performances beginning January 1, 2011.
In November 2010, the punk rock band that Armstrong's son Joey is drummer in,
Emily's Army, released their first album titled Don't Be a Dick through Adeline
Records and Armstrong's musical production. Armstrong in 2013

On July 26, 2012, it was announced that Armstrong would join Season 3 of NBC's The Voice as an assistant mentor
for Christina Aguilera's team.
Armstrong is scheduled to write songs for These Paper Bullets, an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing with
rock-and-roll music. The Yale Repertory Theater will premiere the show in March 2014.
Armstrong also collaborated with the Comedy hip hop group Lonely Island in their song I Run NY from The Wack
Album released on June 7, 2013. He will star alongside Leighton Meester in Frank Whaley's film Like Sunday, Like
Rain, which began filming in September 2013.
In October 2013, it was revealed that Armstrong and singer-songwriter Norah Jones would be releasing a duets LP.
The album, consisting of covers from an Everly Brothers' album called Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, will be titled
Foreverly and will be released on November 25, 2013. The first single of this album, Long Time Gone, was
published on October 23 through Soundcloud and the official album website [5].

Instruments
Armstrong's first guitar was a Cherry Red Hohner acoustic, which
his father bought for him. He then received his first electric guitar,
a Fernandes Stratocaster that he named "Blue" when he was
eleven. His mother got "Blue" from George Cole who taught
Armstrong electric guitar for 10 years. Armstrong says in a 1995
MTV interview, "Basically, it wasn't like guitar lessons because I
never really learned how to read music. So he just taught me how
to put my hands on the thing." Cole bought the guitar new from
David Margen of the band Santana. Cole gave Armstrong a Bill
Lawrence Humbucking pickup and told him to install the pickup
in the bridge position. After the pickup was destroyed at
Woodstock '94, Armstrong then used a Duncan JB model.
"Armstrong fetishized his teacher's guitar, partly because the blue
instrument had a sound quality and Van Halen–worthy fluidity he Armstrong performing in 2009 with "Blue".

couldn't get from his little red Hohner. He prized it mostly,

however, because of his relationship with Cole, another father figure after the death of Andy." He toured with this
guitar from the band's early days and still uses it to this day.[6] "Blue" also appears in a number of its music videos
Billie Joe Armstrong 16

such as "Longview", "Basket Case", "Brain Stew/Jaded", "Hitchin' a Ride", and most recently in "Minority".
Today, Armstrong mainly uses Gibson and Fender guitars. Twenty of his Gibson guitars are Les Paul Junior models
from the mid- to late-1950s. His Fender collection includes: Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, Telecaster, a Gretsch
hollowbody and his copies of "Blue". He states that his favorite guitar is a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior he calls
"Floyd". He bought this guitar in 2000 just before recording their album Warning.
Armstrong also has two of his own Les Paul Junior signature models from Gibson. The first has been in production
since 2006 and is modeled closely after "Floyd", Armstrong's original 1956 Les Paul Junior. The second began
production in 2012 and is a TV Yellow double-cutaway Junior. Both models include a Gibson "H-90" pickup,
exclusive to Armstrong's models. Gibson has also released an extremely limited run of acoustic signature guitars.
He plays several other instruments as well. He recorded harmonica and mandolin parts in the past (Nimrod and
Warning), piano parts on 21st Century Breakdown (2009), American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording
(2011) and ¡Tré! (2012), and plays drums live from time to time.

Personal life
In 1990, Armstrong met Adrienne Nesser at one of Green Day's early performances in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
They married on July 2, 1994; the day after their wedding, Adrienne discovered she was pregnant. Their first child,
Joseph Marciano Armstrong, who was born on February 28, 1995, plays drums in a Berkeley-based band named
Emily's Army. Their second child, Jakob Danger Armstrong, was born on September 12, 1998.[citation needed]
Armstrong is the co-owner of Adeline Records, along with his wife.
Armstrong has identified himself as bisexual, saying in a 1995 interview with The Advocate, "I think I've always
been bisexual. I mean, it's something that I've always been interested in. I think people are born bisexual, and it's just
that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't.' They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in
our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing." In a later interview for Out magazine's
April 2010 issue, Armstrong stated: "There were a lot of people who didn't accept it, who were homophobic."
Armstrong continued, saying, "The fact that it's an issue is kind of phobic within itself. At some point, you gotta
think, this should be something that's just accepted." Armstrong added: "I don't really classify myself as anything.
And when it comes to sex, there are parts of me that are very shy and conservative. I want to respect my wife."
Armstrong was arrested in January 2003 for drinking and driving after being pulled over for speeding.[7] He received
a breathalyzer reading of 0.17%, more than twice the state's legal limit of 0.08%.
Billie Joe Armstrong 17

In April 2007, Armstrong and his wife Adrienne sent photos of their
spring break working with Habitat for Humanity and a diary to
GreenDay.net.
Armstrong supported Barack Obama during the 2008 and 2012
presidential election.
On September 1, 2011, Armstrong was kicked off a Southwest Airlines
flight for wearing his pants too low. Armstrong tweeted "Just got
kicked off a Southwest flight because my pants sagged too low!"
According to an eyewitness on the flight, who also happens to be a
television news producer, a flight attendant asked Armstrong to pull his
pants up. Armstrong said, "Don't you have better things to do than
worry about that?" The flight attendant's response was, "Pull your
pants up or you're getting off the plane." Southwest Airlines saw his
tweet, rebooked Armstrong on another flight and released this
statement, "We reached out to apologize. We followed up ... and
understand from the customer the situation was resolved to his
satisfaction."
On September 2, 2012, Armstrong was rushed to the hospital before Armstrong performing at the Fox Theatre in
March 2013 during Green Day's first show since
the band was scheduled to perform at the I-Day Festival in Bologna,
Armstrong left rehab.
Italy. Armstrong was released from the hospital on September 4,
reportedly suffering from gastric problems.
On September 21, 2012, during a Green Day performance at Las Vegas' iHeartRadio Music Festival, Armstrong
became agitated onstage and stopped the band's set midway through their performance of the 1994 hit song "Basket
Case". In an expletive-filled rant, Armstrong criticized the event's promoters for allegedly cutting short the band's
performance before smashing his guitar and storming off stage. The band later issued a statement apologizing for the
incident and clarifying that their set had not actually been cut short. The incident occurred just four days prior to the
release of Green Day's ninth studio album, ¡Uno!

On September 23, 2012, two days following the incident at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, Green Day announced
that Armstrong was seeking treatment for an unspecified substance abuse problem. As a result, scheduled
appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Ellen DeGeneres Show were canceled. According to Claudia Suarez
Wright, Tre Cool’s ex-wife and the mother of Armstrong's godson, Armstrong had been drinking heavily in Las
Vegas prior to the iHeartMusic Festival, following approximately one year of sobriety. Green Day subsequently
canceled all remaining concert dates for 2012 and early 2013 as Armstrong continued dealing with his personal
problems. In late December, the band announced they would return to touring at the end of March. Armstrong later
admitted that the substances he had been abusing were alcohol and prescription pills for anxiety and insomnia.

Michael Ryan Pritchard (born May 4, 1972) is an American musician, best known as the bassist, backing vocalist
and co-founder of the American Punk rock band Green Day. He has also played in several other bands, including
The Frustrators. During grade school, he would constantly play "air-bass", and while pretending to pluck the strings,
he made the noise, "dirnt, dirnt, dirnt". As a result, his schoolmates began to call him "Mike Dirnt".
Mike Dirnt 21

Early life
Dirnt was born on May 4, 1972, in Berkeley, California. He was given up for adoption by his biological mother, who
struggled with heroin addiction.[1] At six weeks of age, Dirnt was placed in foster care with Cheryl Nasser and
Patrick Pritchard of El Sobrante, a couple who subsequently adopted him.[2]
As a child, his father was often away obtaining a degree at UC Berkeley, while his mother stayed at home to care for
him and his sister Myla.[3] Dirnt excelled in school despite missing classes often as a result of various illnesses
believed to be caused by his biological mother's drug use. After an argument between his parents resulted in a call to
the police, the couple divorced. His mother and sister moved to Rodeo, while he stayed in El Sobrante with his
father. However, missing his mother, he eventually moved in with her and Myla. Having been previously described
as bright and fearless, Dirnt became sullen and withdrawn after the divorce.
In the cafeteria in Carquinez Middle School, ten year old Dirnt met Billie Joe Armstrong, with whom he bonded
instantly. Armstrong began to teach Dirnt how to play guitar, and the two spent much time in Armstrong's bedroom
learning to play songs by Ozzy Osbourne and Van Halen.[4] They formed a group with fellow students Raj Punjabi
on drums and Jason Andrew Relva on bass, with Armstrong playing lead guitar and Dirnt playing rhythm guitar.[5]
After attending Salesian High School, an all-boys Catholic school for his freshman year, Dirnt transferred to Pinole
Valley High School, where Armstrong had also recently transferred from John Swett High School. Dirnt's family
struggled with financial troubles; in an effort to help out, he worked as a chef at Nantucket, a seafood restaurant in
Crockett.[6]
He eventually saved up enough money to purchase a used pickup truck that he and Armstrong often drove to
Berkeley to attend shows at 924 Gilman Street, an influential DIY punk club. The pair got jobs at the club as security
guards, despite their small physiques. Dirnt recalled, "We lived and died for that place. At that time, it meant
everything."[7]

Career
While at Pinole High School, Dirnt, Armstrong, and classmate Sean Hughes formed a band called Sweet Children.
Dirnt's mother struggled to provide for him and his sister as a single parent, and eventually had to leave Rodeo in
1987 to look for work. Unwilling to leave Sweet Children, Armstrong and Dirnt convinced each other's parents to
allow Dirnt to move into Armstrong's garage.[8] After drummer John Kiffmeyer, who was also known as Al
Sobrante, joined the group, Sweet Children began performing at 924 Gilman Street. The band performed several
well-received sets, which encouraged Armstrong to drop out of high school to focus his energy on music.[9] Dirnt,
however, worried that he needed a backup plan and continued his studies.[10] Hughes, who was not as dedicated to
the group as the other members, left Sweet Children, leaving Dirnt to play bass. Dirnt often brought his bass to
school, and the plucking noise of the unamplified strings led classmates to jokingly call him by the onomatopoeia
"Dirnt".[11] After changing its name to Green Day, the band recorded its debut album 39/Smooth over the 1989
Christmas holiday break and went on its first van tour in June 1990, leaving the day that Dirnt graduated from high
school.[12]
At Green Day's Woodstock '94 gig a huge mud fight ensued between the band and the audience. So many
mud-covered fans got up on stage by the end of the set that one of the security guards mistook Dirnt for a marauding
fan, tackled him, and broke several of his teeth while attempting to haul him off the stage.[citation needed]
While performing at the 1998 KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, California, Third Eye Blind bassist Arion Salazar ran
onstage and "bear-hugged" Dirnt, who was caught off-guard.[13] The incident escalated into an on-stage scuffle
before security took Salazar away. After the performance, Dirnt confronted Salazar backstage, and as the two argued,
a beer bottle struck Dirnt in the head, causing a small fracture in his skull. Eyewitnesses later attributed the bottle
throwing to a fan of Third Eye Blind. Salazar and the band's management soon released a statement: "I am sorry that
my attempt at doing something I thought would be funny escalated into Mike getting hurt. That was never my
Mike Dirnt 22

intention. I simply had too much to drink and made a very bad decision. If I had been in Mike's place, I am sure I
would have acted similarly. My heart goes out to him and I hope he recovers quickly."
In the live album, Bullet in a Bible, Armstrong calls Dirnt "The best bass player in the history of punk rock."

Songwriting and lead vocals


Although Armstrong is Green Day's primary lyricist, Dirnt has written lyrics for "Emenius Sleepus," "J.A.R. (Jason
Andrew Relva)", "Scumbag", "Ha Ha You're Dead," the subtrack "Nobody Likes You" from the medley
"Homecoming" and the b-side "Governator," He also co-wrote the lyrics to "Best Thing in Town," "The One I
Want," and "Panic Song" with Armstrong, and writes all the bass lines for Green Day songs.
Dirnt sings lead vocals on "Governator," part of the third verse of "Outsider" on the Shenanigans album, the
"Nobody Likes You" subtrack of "Homecoming." He also sings the subtrack "Modern World" from the medley
"American Eulogy" from 21st Century Breakdown and sings lead for exactly 10 seconds in "Sex, Drugs, and
Violence" from ¡Tré!. Examples of prominent bass lines by Dirnt are "Welcome to Paradise," "Stuart and the Ave.,"
"Castaway", "Panic Song," "Longview," "No One Knows," "Stuck with Me," "409 in Your Coffeemaker," "One for
the Razorbacks," "Makeout Party," "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)," "Dirty Rotten Bastards," "Missing You,"
"Nightlife," "Stray Heart," and "Jesus of Suburbia."

Personal life
Dirnt has a daughter, Estelle Desiree, who was born in April 1997 (with first wife Anastasia) and has the nickname
"Hero." He won full custody of her in the summer of 2008 and took her to live in Oakland. In 2004, he married his
then girlfriend Sarah. The two divorced that same year because he was spending too much time in the studio
recording American Idiot[citation needed]. On March 14, 2009, Dirnt married Brittney Cade (b. Aug 25, 1982). Their
wedding was a private ceremony in Brittney's hometown of Ojai, California. Dirnt has two children with Cade—a
son, Brixton Michael, born on October 11, 2008, and a daughter, Ryan Ruby Mae, born on November 29, 2010. On
the first day of 2014 Mike's brother Chris gave birth to Myla Jean Smith.[citation needed]
Dirnt is a Star Wars fan; he stated in an interview "I base most of my religious beliefs on Star Wars."
Dirnt is part owner of Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, a diner in Emeryville, California and Oakland, California.[14] The diner
gets its name from a song by punk band The Clash entitled "Rudie Can't Fail," off of their album London Calling.
The menu item names are loosely based on punk themes such as "God Save the Chicken," which is a reference to
"God Save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols and "Give 'Em Enough Meatloaf," which is a reference to Give 'Em
Enough Rope by The Clash.
After the album Warning was released, Dirnt needed surgery for Carpal tunnel syndrome.[15]
Dirnt's biological mother died on January 9, 2013. Dirnt only managed to meet her one month before her death.[16]

Tré Cool (born Frank Edwin Wright III; December 9, 1972) is an American drummer, best known as the drummer
for Green Day. He replaced the group's former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990. Cool has also played in The
Lookouts, Samiam and the Green Day side-projects The Network and the Foxboro Hot Tubs.

Life and career


Frank Edwin Wright III was born in Frankfurt, West Germany. He lived in Willits, California with his father and his
elder sister Lori. His father was a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War.[4] Wright's closest neighbor was Larry
Livermore, who at the time was the singer of the punk band The Lookouts. When Wright was 12, Livermore
recruited him as the drummer of The Lookouts. And Tre took on the name of "Tré Cool", relying on both the French
word "très" (meaning "very") and the English word "cool" as a way of saying he was "very cool". However, the
silent "s" has been dropped in the spelling, as a play on the "third" in his name. A common misconception is that
Larry Livermore gave Tré Cool his full nickname; however, he was known as "Tré" long before he joined The
Lookouts.[5]
When Green Day's drummer, John Kiffmeyer, left the band, the group recruited Cool to be its drummer. In his
sophomore year, Cool dropped out of high school and opted to earn a GED. He began taking classes at a local
community college but would later drop out as well as the band became a more time consuming priority. During this
time the band considered breaking up because it took a long time to adjust to playing with Cool. He is the godfather
Tre Cool 26

of lead singer/guitarist of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong's children.


Cool's father was supportive and overhauled a bookmobile to transport the band. He would later say: "I watched
them go from a bunch of kids to a group of musicians with work ethic", also adding: "On their first tour or two, it
was more of a party than anything else. I still scratch my head and say, 'How in the hell did they make it?' They used
to practice in my living room here – a lot of the songs they did on Dookie. You hear it coming together, and you
don't expect people are going to go out and buy it. But when it does, you just say, 'Wow that's so cool.'"[6]
In 1998, after Green Day won a "Moon Man" Trophy at the MTV Music Awards, Tré Cool famously scaled the
Universal Globe at Universal Studios, but escaped with no punishment, only compliments and cheers. Cool has been
the only person to ever do so.
In December 2012 Green Day released the third of their trilogy albums entitled ¡Tre! in honour of the drummer. The
song Fell For You on Green Day's album ¡Uno! (September 2012) was originally entitled Fell For Snoo (Snoo being
Cool's nickname) as seen on Cuatro (Documentary making of the trilogy).
Tré Cool won "Best Punk Drummer" in DRUM! Magazine's 2011 Drummies, which recognizes some of the best
drummers across music genres.[7] He was also featured in the Nitpick Six: The Six Best Drum Fills and ranked in at
number 6 for the intro to "Basket Case".[8]

Musical style
Before joining Green Day, Cool employed a more intricate drumming style. He explained that "When I started, I had
too many drums. I was a little reggae-happy and into fancier beats than was needed. It took me awhile to get it: Play
the song, don't play the instrument. I started figuring out how to make the band a stronger unit, to make it jump."
After playing with Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt, Cool adopted a more rhythmic style with fewer drum fills to match
Dirnt's bass riffs.
Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune referred to Cool as "Green Day's most potent weapon", adding that "His monstrous
kick-drum wallop evokes John Bonham, while his manic fills make him punk's answer to Keith Moon." His stage
persona has also been compared to Moon. Sound engineer Neill King, who worked with Green Day on Dookie,
noted that Cool shares Moon's "wild animal approach" to playing drums, and explained that the band encountered
difficulties while recording "Basket Case" due to his unpredictable style: "It’s not that Tré wasn’t a good drummer,
but in terms of his performances we wanted the best of the best...So, although we wanted him to do all of his wild
fills and crazy drumming, we couldn’t just let him go. He’d drift in and out of time, which is terrific live, but which
was unacceptable on radio at that time."

Personal life
Cool was the first member of Green Day to become a father on January 12, 1995 with the birth of his daughter
Ramona Isabel. Ramona recently appeared as a Kit Kat girl in the Brandeis Theater Company's production of
Cabaret. Cool's second child Frankito (meaning "Little Frank") was born on March 26, 2001 and is the godson of
Billie Joe Armstrong. Tre Cool is also the godfather of Billie Joe Armstrong's two children Jakob and Joseph. The
usually very private Armstrong and Cool spent summer of 2013 in Newport Beach with their children between
touring and sent pictures of themselves with their kids to Green Days Facebook page. Frankito also joined Tre and
Billie Joe on the pitch while Tre threw out the first pitch at the A's game on Green Day's firework's night in Oakland
on August 31, 2013.[9]

Singing and songwriting


Cool sang and played guitar on the tracks "Dominated Love Slave" and "All by Myself", from Kerplunk and Dookie,
respectively, both of which he wrote and composed (on "Dominated Love Slave", guitarist and vocalist Billie Joe
Armstrong played drums). He wrote and sarsion of Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain." It was posted on YouTube on
August 1, 2007. His cover was mentioned in several news journals.

Jason White (born November 11, 1973) is an American musician best known as a guitarist for the American punk
rock band Green Day. He was a touring member of Green Day from 1999, until he was announced as a full member
of the band in early 2012. Before being inducted as a full member, White played lead guitar in the majority of their
live shows. He is also the guitarist and vocalist for the Californian punk band Pinhead Gunpowder, and co-founder
of Adeline Records alongside Billie Joe Armstrong.

Career

Other musical acts (1992–present)


In the Summer of 1992, White filled in guitar duties at the last minute
for Bay Area punk band Monsula, who were performing at Little Rock,
AR club Vino's. After the performance, Jason toured as guitarist for the
band and eventually relocated to the Bay Area after the breakup of
Chino Horde in summer 1993. White joined The Big Cats in 1996,
after the temporary departure of bassist Josh Bentley, and took over
guitar duties in 2000 after the death of guitarist Shannon Yarbrough.
The group is a side project of many musicians, playing live very rarely.
Their newest record, On Tomorrow, was released in 2007.

Because of Pinhead Gunpowder's infamy for sporadic get-togethers,


White and Gunpowder bassist Bill Schneider began looking to form
another band that would be a group the two could focus on. After
recruiting Schneider's brother Greg Schneider to join and finally
convincing Willie Samuels to play drums, The Influents were formed.
White and Greg would become the focus of the band, splitting
songwriting duties, as well as singing time. Bill Schneider left the band
on good terms after the group's first album Check Please to focus on
White performs with The Big Cats.
his drum shop and was soon replaced by Johnnie Wentz. The new
line-up soon recorded a follow up, Some of the Young, and went on
tour. Due to personal and creative differences, as well as White's growing dedication to Green Day, The Influents
dissolved in 2003. [citation needed]

In 2006, Jason recorded a cover of The Replacements "Torture" for the Replacements Cover compilation, "We'll
Inherit the Earth". He's also featured in the May 2007 release, Towncraft, a documentary covering twenty years of
the punk music scene in Little Rock, AR, White's home. That same year, White played with Green Day in the video
for the cover of "Working Class Hero."

Green Day and related work (1994–present)


As a friend of punk rock trio Green Day, he appeared in the "When I Come Around" video, where he is seen making
out with a girl (his real-life girlfriend at the time). In 1994, White joined punk quartet Pinhead Gunpowder after the
departure of singer/guitarist Mike Kirsch (with whom White had played the previous year in Sixteen Bullets). When
Green Day/Pinhead Gunpowder frontman Billie Joe Armstrong founded Adeline Records in 1997, White helped him
run it. He re-appeared with Armstrong for two Green Day shows in 1999, both of which raised money for the Bridge
School Benefit. After making Warning, Green Day asked him to assist them on their tour as a second guitarist.[citation
needed]
In 2003, allegedly under the name Balducci, White joined the members of Green Day for their side-project
The Network. The band released one album, called Money Money 2020.
With the release of American Idiot, White was required again to play with the band during the supporting tour of the
album. In February 2005, Jason got married. That year, he played with Green Day in their video, "Wake Me Up
When September Ends" – the first time that any musician outside the trio appeared as a performer in a Green Day
video. He also appears along the band in their 2005 live CD/DVD Bullet in a Bible. In April 2007, White and his
wife joined Armstrong and his family in their Spring Break working with Habitat For Humanity and writing a diary
for fan site GreenDay.net.
Jason White 32

In 2008, White joined Green Day's side project Foxboro Hot Tubs as lead guitarist along with Kevin Preston of
Prima Donna on rhythm guitar. In 2009, he toured with Green Day in support for their latest record, 21st Century
Breakdown. White made his fourth appearance on a Green Day video for "21 Guns" and his fifth in "Last of the
American Girls"; prior to this, and not including his live appearances on "Jesus of Suburbia" and "East Jesus
Nowhere", he had appeared in three videos: "When I Come Around", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and
"Working Class Hero".
On July 13, 2010, Max Recordings released White's debut 45 single - "Hungover" b/w "I'm A Mess". He appeared
once again as Green Day's sideman for their 2011 live album Awesome As Fuck. White is credited with contributing
"Guitar" in the press release of Green Day's ninth, tenth, and eleventh studio albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! In
addition, he appears in photographs with the band. It was announced that White would feature on the cover of the
soundtrack for a documentary on the making of the trilogy called ¡Cuatro!
In early 2012, it was announced that Jason White would no longer be a touring member of Green Day and that he
would now be an official member.

John Kiffmeyer (also known as Al Sobrante), (born July 11, 1969) was the original drummer of the punk rock band
Green Day. He was given his nickname in reference to his hometown, El Sobrante. His work with Green Day
resulted in about 1 million albums sold, which are mostly from the compilation album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy
Hours.

Biography
John Kiffmeyer was born in California on July 11, 1969. His first exposure in the punk scene was as the drummer of
the band Isocracy. The group was popular in the East Bay, and mainstays at the famed club, 924 Gilman Street.
However, Kiffmeyer is most well known for his time in Green Day. After the end of Isocracy, Kiffmeyer helped
form Green Day. Because of his experience and knowledge of the underground community, Kiffmeyer was able to
get the young band on its feet by placing calls to friends, among them prominent figure of the East Bay Larry
Livermore. The first few performances took place at Contra Costa College, where Kiffmeyer was a journalism
student. On the strength of an early performance, Livermore vowed to release a Green Day record on his Lookout!
Records. The group's first full-length effort, 39/Smooth, would feature a Kiffmeyer original, "I Was There", which
documented the band at that place in time. Being a fan of Ozzy Osbourne, it was he who inspired the mini-covers of
some famous songs, such as "I Don't Know" by Ozzy Osbourne and "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
during the bridge of "Disappearing Boy," a practice that is still carried out today.
In 1990, he left the band to attend college at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. Kiffmeyer later joined
the band The Ne'er Do Wells, leaving abruptly in 1994. Following a stint with punk band The Ritalins, he became
manager of The Shruggs until their split. In 1998 he was the Executive Producer of "The Great Lost Trouble Makers
Album" by The Troublemakers, a garage band from Sacramento, California.
He now lives in San Francisco, California and is married to experimental filmmaker and San Francisco State
University professor Greta Snider. He works as a Director of Photography, specializing in green screen and
producing mainly commercial work.

Hours (1990) (1990)
(1989)

39/Smooth is the debut studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released on April 13 (Good
Friday), 1990 through Lookout! Records on vinyl (black, green, and clear) and cassette. This is the band's only
studio album to feature John Kiffmeyer on drums.[1]
Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy contributed the artwork on the album. The inner sleeve shows handwritten lyrics by
Billie Joe Armstrong and letters by drummer John Kiffmeyer and Lookout! owner Larry Livermore to I.R.S.
Records, rejecting an offer to sign to the label and declaring their loyalty to Lookout! Records (however, the band
would later leave Lookout! and move to a major label, Reprise Records).
39/Smooth was later featured in its entirety, along with the group's two previous extended plays Slappy, 1,000 Hours
and the song "I Want to Be Alone" (from The Big One, a compilation album released by Flipside Records in 1990)
on the compilation album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours in 1991.

Release
The album was released in 1990 and the first few releases were black vinyl. It was later released in green vinyl and
only around 800 exist on green. The old pressings of the LP have the old Lookout 'Laytonville' address on the back.
Since moving from Laytonville records to Berkeley in 1992, the new address was added. The LP's contents were
later featured on the compilation album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, which was released 1991. The
compilation was re-released in a remastered form in 2004. It was re-released on CD on January 9, 2007 by Reprise
Records, the label Green Day has been signed to since leaving Lookout!. Note that in Europe, the album was already
re-released by Epitaph Europe, and has remained in print. It was reissued on vinyl on March 24, 2009 by Reprise in a
package containing the original 10-song 39/Smooth LP along with reissues of the 1,000 Hours and Slappy EPs.

Allmusic rated the album 3 out of 5, commenting that "1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours isn't a truly great album in
the first place. It's not bad, by any means, and quite arguably just about everything on it could be transposed with a
slight aural tweak here and there to Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac or Nimrod without anyone batting an eye."
Pitchfork said that "It's raw stuff, but even at this point Green Day's records were at least halfway decently recorded,
unlike most of their peers' tin-can-and-twine set-ups, and songs like 'At the Library' and 'Don't Leave Me' were
downright hummable."

Hours (1992) (1994)
(1991)

Kerplunk is the second studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released on January 17,
1992 through Lookout! Records. Kerplunk was their last release on an independent label and was also the first album
to feature their current band lineup, with Tré Cool on drums. The album has gone on to be among the best selling
independently released albums of all time. Major labels took notice of Kerplunk's phenomenal popularity and many
approached the band. Green Day realized that they had outgrown their record distribution capacity with Lookout!
and eventually signed with Reprise Records. With Reprise, Green Day recorded and released their next album
Dookie (1994).
The album officially includes only 12 tracks, but the versions released on CD and cassette also include the 4 tracks
from the Sweet Children EP. One of those tracks is a cover of The Who's "My Generation". The song "Welcome to
Paradise" was re-recorded for Dookie.
Like Dookie, Kerplunk was banned from certain stores because of the cover art. The cover features a mostly white
picture (with some green added in) of a high school girl with a gun that has been fired.
Kerplunk 42

As of November 2013, Kerplunk had sold 1,000,000 units in the United States and 4,000,000 units worldwide.
In August 2005, Green Day pulled the album, as well as all of their other material released through the label, from
Lookout! due to unpaid royalties.[1] It was reissued on CD by Reprise Records, who Green Day has been with since
leaving Lookout!, on January 9, 2007.[2] In Europe, the album was released by Epitaph Europe, and has remained in
print. It was reissued on vinyl on March 24, 2009 by Reprise Records and includes a reissue of the Sweet Children
EP.[3]

Allmusic regards Kerplunk as the "perfect dry run" for the band's later mainstream appeal, saying it contains "both
more variety and more flat-out smashes than previous releases had shown." Pitchfork Media states "All in all, it's a
magnitude better than its predecessor and only a hair behind the follow up."
In December 2007, Blender magazine ranked the album number 47 on their "The 100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums
Ever" list.

Dookie is the third studio album by American punk rock band Green Day. The album was released on February 1,
1994 through Reprise Records. It was the band's first collaboration with producer Rob Cavallo and its major record
label debut. Dookie became a worldwide commercial success, peaking at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 and
charting in seven countries. The album helped to propel Green Day into mainstream popularity.
Dookie produced five hit singles for the band: "Longview", "When I Come Around", "Basket Case", a re-recorded
version of "Welcome to Paradise" and the radio-only single "She". As of 2013[1], Dookie is the band's best-selling
album, with more than 20 million copies sold worldwide. Dookie won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative
Music Album in 1995. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Dookie at 193 on the list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All
Time.

Background and recording


Following the underground success of the band's second studio album Kerplunk (1992), a number of major record
labels became interested in Green Day. Representatives of these labels attempted to entice the band to sign by
inviting them for meals to discuss a deal, with one manager even inviting the group to Disneyland. The band
declined these advances until meeting producer and Reprise representative Rob Cavallo. They were impressed by his
work with fellow Californian band The Muffs, and later remarked that Cavallo "was the only person we could really
talk to and connect with".
Dookie 45

Eventually, the band left their independent record label Lookout! Records on friendly terms, and signed to Reprise.
Signing to a major label caused many of the band's original fans from the independent music club 924 Gilman Street
to regard Green Day as sell-outs. The club has banned Green Day from entering since the major label signing.
Reflecting back on the period, lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong told Spin magazine in 1999, "I couldn't go back to
the punk scene, whether we were the biggest success in the world or the biggest failure [...] The only thing I could do
was get on my bike and go forward."
Cavallo was chosen as the main producer of the album, with Jerry Finn as the mixer. Green Day originally gave the
first demo tape to Cavallo, and after listening to it during the car ride home he sensed that "[he] had stumbled on
something big." The band's recording session lasted three weeks and the album was remixed twice. Armstrong
claimed that the band wanted to create a dry sound, "similar to the Sex Pistols' album or first Black Sabbath albums."
The band felt the original mix to be unsatisfactory. Cavallo agreed, and it was remixed at Fantasy Studios in
Berkeley, California. Armstrong later said of their studio experience, "Everything was already written, all we had to
do was play it."

Writing and composition


Much of the album's content was written by Armstrong, except "Emenius Sleepus" written by bassist Mike Dirnt,
and the hidden track, "All by Myself", which was composed and written by drummer Tré Cool. The album touched
upon various experiences of the band members and included subjects like anxiety and panic attacks, masturbation,
sexual orientation, boredom, mass murder, divorce, hobos and ex-girlfriends.
The single "Longview" had a signature bass line that bassist Dirnt wrote while under the influence of LSD. He
originally forgot much of it, but the remembered portions were included in the song. Armstrong stated that the song
was mainly about boredom, masturbation, and smoking cannabis, as evident in some of the lyrics ("When
masturbation's lost its fun/You're fucking lonely", inaccurately quoted as "You're fucking breaking" in the liner
notes).

"Longview"
Sample of "Longview", the first single from Dookie, which combined a memorable bass line with a guitar riff and drums
introduced in the chorus.

"Basket Case"
Sample of "Basket Case", the third single from Dookie, which was about Armstrong's panic attacks.

Problems playing these files? See media help.

"Welcome to Paradise", the second single from Dookie, was originally on the band's second studio album, Kerplunk.
The song was re-recorded with a less grainy sound for Dookie. The song never had an official music video; however,
a certain live performance of the song is often associated as a music video. The video is located on Green Day's
official website.
The hit single "Basket Case", which appeared on many singles charts worldwide, was also inspired by Armstrong's
personal experiences. The song deals with Armstrong's anxiety attacks and feelings of "going crazy" prior to being
diagnosed with a panic disorder. The music video was filmed in an abandoned mental institution. This is one of the
band's most popular songs.
The radio-only single, "She", was written by Armstrong about a former girlfriend who showed him a feminist poem
with an identical title. In return, Armstrong wrote the lyrics of "She" and showed them to her. She later moved to
Ecuador, prompting Armstrong to put "She" on the album. The same ex-girlfriend is the topic of the songs "Sassafras
Roots" and "Chump".
The final single, "When I Come Around", was again inspired by a woman, though this time being about Armstrong's
wife, then former girlfriend, Adrienne. Following a dispute between the couple, Armstrong left Adrienne to spend
Dookie 46

some time alone. The video featured the three band members walking around Berkeley and San Francisco at night,
eventually ending up back at the original location. Future member of Green Day, Jason White, made a cameo in the
video with his then-girlfriend. Although not at popular as "Basket Case", the song was actually more successful in
the U.S. being the band's first top ten single at number 6 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and staying number 1 on the
Modern Rock Tracks chart for 7 weeks or 2 weeks longer than "Basket Case", it also hit number 2 on both the
Mainstream Rock Tracks and the Mainstream Top 40 charts.
Another song, "Coming Clean", deals with Armstrong's coming to terms with his bisexuality when he was 16 and 17
years old. In his interview with The Advocate magazine, he says that although he has never had a relationship with a
man, his sexuality has been "something that comes up as a struggle in me".
Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the song "In the End" about his mother and her husband. He is quoted saying: "That song
is about my mother's husband, it's not really about a girl, or like anyone directly related to me in a relationship. In the
End's about my mother."
Armstrong also wrote the song "Having a Blast" when he was in Cleveland in 1992.

Packaging and title


The name of the album is a reference to the band members often suffering from diarrhea, which they referred to as
"liquid dookie", as a result of eating spoiled food whilst on tour. Initially the band were to name the album Liquid
Dookie; however, this was deemed "too gross", and so they settled on the name Dookie.
The cover art is an illustration by Richie Bucher, which depicts bombs being dropped on people and buildings. In the
center, there is an explosion, with the band's name at the top. Armstrong has since explained the meaning of the
artwork:


I wanted the art work to look really different. I wanted it to represent the East Bay and where we come from, because there's a lot of artists in
the East Bay scene that are just as important as the music. So we talked to Richie Bucher. He did a 7-inch cover for this band called Raooul
that I really liked. He's also been playing in bands in the East Bay for years. There's pieces of us buried on the album cover. There's one guy
with his camera up in the air taking a picture with a beard. He took pictures of bands every weekend at Gilman's. The robed character that
looks like the Mona Lisa is the woman on the cover of the first Black Sabbath album. Angus Young is in there somewhere too. The graffiti
reading "Twisted Dog Sisters" refers to these two girls from Berkeley. I think the guy saying "The fritter, fat boy" was a reference to a local
cop. ”
The back cover on early prints of the CD featured a plush toy of Ernie from Sesame Street, which was airbrushed out
of later prints for fear of litigation; however, Canadian prints still feature Ernie still intact on the back cover. Some
rumors suggest that it was removed because it led parents to think that Dookie was a child's lullaby album or that the

Rolling Stone [3]

Dookie was released to acclaim by music critics. About.com regards it as an album that only gets better with time,
calling it "one of the landmark albums of the 1990's". Allmusic described Dookie as "a stellar piece of modern punk
that many tried to emulate but nobody bettered". In 1994, Time claimed Dookie as the third best album of the year,
but the best rock album of 1994. The New York Times, in early 1995, described the sound of Dookie as, "Punk turns
into pop in fast, funny, catchy, high-powered songs about whining and channel-surfing; apathy has rarely sounded so
passionate." Rolling Stone described Green Day as "convincing mainly because they've got punk's snotty anti-values
down cold: blame, self-pity, arrogant self-hatred, humor, narcissism, fun".
The New York Times, while complimentary on the album's overall quality, noted that Dookie's pop sound only
remotely resembled punk music. The band did not respond initially to these comments, but later claimed that they
were "just trying to be themselves" and that "it's our band, we can do whatever we want". Dirnt claimed that the
follow-up album, Insomniac, one of the band's hardest albums lyrically and musically, was the band releasing their
anger at all the criticism from critics and former fans.
Dookie has been credited for helping bring punk rock back into mainstream.

Live performances
Immediately following the release of Dookie, the band embarked
on an international tour, beginning in the United States, for which
they used a bookmobile belonging to Tré Cool's father to travel
between shows. An audience of millions saw Green Day's
performance at Woodstock '94 on Pay-per-view, helping the band
attract more fans. This event was the location of the infamous[5]
mud fight between the band and the crowd, which continued
beyond the end of Green Day's set. During the fight, Dirnt was
mistaken for a fan by a security guard, who tackled him and then
threw him against a monitor, causing him to injure his arm and
break two of his teeth.

The band also appeared at Lollapalooza and the Madison Square


Garden charity event, where Armstrong performed the song "She"
naked. Having toured throughout the United States and Canada,
the band played a few shows in Europe before beginning the

recording sessions for the subsequent album, Insomniac. During
the tour, Armstrong was quite homesick. His wife, Adrienne
Armstrong, whom he had married shortly after the release of Dookie, was pregnant during most of the tour, and
Armstrong was upset about being unable to help and care for her.

In August 2013, Dookie was played in its entirety at the Brixton Academy in London and at 2013's Reading and
Leeds Festivals as a celebration of the album's upcoming 20th anniversary.

Insomniac is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released on October 10,
1995 through Reprise Records. Though it peaked at number two in the United States and went double-platinum
(according to the RIAA)[1] by 1996, Insomniac did not have the sales endurance of its predecessor, Dookie, largely
due to its slightly darker lyrical tone and heavier, more abrasive sound.[2] Insomniac is the band's third-best selling
album behind Dookie and American Idiot with sales at over 10 million worldwide and 2,100,000 copies in the US
alone.[3] The album was reissued on vinyl on May 12, 2009.

Background
Before the name Insomniac, the band considered naming the album Tight Wad Hill (after track 13 on the album).
After visiting collage artist Winston Smith for the album cover, Billie Joe Armstrong asked him how he managed to
make such intricate pieces in such short times. Smith answered: "It's easy for me. I am an insomniac."[4] Armstrong
himself has said that the album title comes from his own insomnia, after having been woken up frequently during the
night due to his son's screams. Armstrong also mentions his insomnia in the song "Brain Stew."
"Panic Song" was inspired by bassist Mike Dirnt's panic attacks he has suffered as a result of being born with an
enlarged mitral valve in his heart.[5]

Cover art
The collage on the album cover was created by Winston Smith [6] and is called God Told Me to Skin You Alive, a
reference to the Dead Kennedys song "I Kill Children". Interestingly enough, the cover art contains an image (the
dentist) that was originally used in a collage featured in the inside cover art of Dead Kennedys' album Plastic
Surgery Disasters (1982). Smith knew drummer Tré Cool from Green Day's time at Lookout! Records and told Cool
that if he ever needed album artwork that he should call him. The cover art features several hidden images: a naked
woman, three fairies, and several other ghostly faces in the flames. There are also three skulls on the entire album
cover and back, one for each member of Green Day. One of the skulls requires you to view the piece at an angle. The
hidden skull is taken from Hans Holbein's 1533 painting The Ambassadors. Green Day's version, however, is slightly
different from the original, with the woman holding Armstrong's sky blue Fernandes imitation Stratocaster rather
than an acoustic guitar.

Spin [9]

Insomniac did not have the big sales or airplay as the singles from Dookie, but it was generally well received by
critics. It earned three and a half out of five stars from Rolling Stone, which said "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 as good as this stuff gets".
Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B with particular praise for Billie Joe Armstrong, stating that: "Fans needn't
worry about Armstrong, a new father, rhapsodizing over the joys of changing diapers or whining about being a
wealthy rock star. Once more, the songs relate the travails of a pathetic, self-loathing goofball whose sense of
self-worth is continually reduced to rubble by sundry jerks, authority figures, and cultural elitists."
However, Green Day was slightly criticized for not progressing as much as their predecessors. Entertainment Weekly
stated that: "Insomniac does make you wonder about Green Day's growth, though. Between albums one and four,
The Clash, to take an old-school example, branched out from guitar crunch to reggae, dub, and Spectorized pop. By
comparison, Green Day sound exactly the same as on their first album, albeit with crisper production and,
ominously, a palpable degeneration in their sense of humor. The few hints of growth are fairly microscopic: a
tougher metallic edge to a few of the songs ... and lyrics that are bleaker than Dookie's."
Allmusic similarly noted that "they kept their blueprint and made it a shade darker. Throughout Insomniac, there are
vague references to the band's startling multi-platinum breakthrough, but the album is hardly a stark confessional on
the level of Nirvana's In Utero. ... While nothing on the album is as immediate as "Basket Case" or "Longview," the
band has gained a powerful sonic punch, which goes straight for the gut but sacrifices the raw edge they so
desperately want to keep and makes the record slightly tame. Billie Joe hasn't lost much of his talent for simple,
tuneful hooks, but after a series of songs that all sound pretty much the same, it becomes clear that he needs to push
himself a little bit more if Green Day ever want to be something more than a good punk-pop band. As it is, they
remain a good punk-pop band, and Insomniac is a good punk-pop record, but nothing more."

Singles and commercial success


The first single released from Insomniac was "Geek Stink Breath". The song was successful on both Top 40 and rock
radio stations and peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay.
The second single, released exclusively in the United Kingdom, was "Stuck with Me". The song was moderately
successful in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, but was not one of the group's bigger hits in the US.
The third single from the album was "Brain Stew/Jaded". The two were separate songs (tracks 10 and 11 on
Insomniac), but they were released together as a single and a music video.
The last single from the album was "Walking Contradiction".
The song "86" was released as a promotional single.

Nimrod is the fifth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day, released on October 14, 1997 through
Reprise Records. The group began work on the album in the wake of their cancellation of a European tour after the
release of Insomniac (1995). Recorded at Conway Studios in Los Angeles, the album was written with the intent of
creating solid songs as opposed to a cohesive album. As a result, Nimrod is noted for its musical diversity and
experimentation, and contains elements of folk, surf rock, and ska. The lyrical themes discussed on the record
include maturity, personal reflection, and fatherhood.
The album peaked at number ten on the Billboard U.S. charts and was certified double platinum by the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA). The record also was certified triple platinum in Australia and double
platinum in Canada. Nimrod also received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Armstrong's
songwriting on the record. The album yielded the acoustic hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which
appeared at numerous pop culture events, including the series finale of the sitcom Seinfeld in 1998. To promote the
album, Green Day embarked on an extensive touring schedule. Nimrod has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

Background
In 1995, Green Day released Insomniac, which did not perform as well critically and commercially as the band's
breakthrough major label debut Dookie (1994).[1] Speaking of Insomniac, vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong
noted, "It did a lot better than I thought it was going to do...From the sound of it, we knew it wasn't going to sell as
much as Dookie." The group embarked on an extensive world tour to promote Insomniac in early 1996, which saw
the band performing in sports arenas that contrasted with the small clubs the group was accustomed to playing. The
members became increasingly uncomfortable with the level of stardom they had attained; Armstrong recalled, "We
were becoming the things we hated, playing those big arenas. It was beginning to be not fun anymore."
Green Day also became homesick as touring forced the members to leave behind their families. The band eventually
decided to cancel the late 1996 European leg of the Insomniac tour to take time off to spend at home.[2] During this
time, the band continued to write, and eventually completed over three dozen new songs by the beginning of 1997.[3]
Although the group's last effort with producer Rob Cavallo was considered a disappointment, the band did not
contemplate choosing anyone else to work with on Nimrod, as the members viewed Cavallo as a "mentor".

Recording and production


"This is a record we've been thinking about for the past six years. We knew we wanted to change, but we didn't want to change too
much too soon. The record's about vulnerability in a lot of ways—throwing yourself out there...Why the fuck not put out that fucking
stupid acoustic song or that stupid surf song? This is who we are. Why hide it?"

—Billie Joe Armstrong, on the album's musical diversity.

The album was recorded at Conway Studios in Los Angeles, and the band stayed at the Sunset Marquis Hotel during
the sessions.[4] Nimrod took four months to record and, Armstrong partially attributed the lengthy recording time to
spending "a little too much time" playing pool and foosball during the sessions. The recording schedule, which lasted
from noon to two in the morning every day, became frustrating for the group members, who began drinking heavily.
Bassist Mike Dirnt recalled, "One night one of us was walking down the halls knocking on people's doors while
naked." Another incident involved drummer Tre Cool throwing his hotel room television set out of his window.
Nimrod 57

Armstrong noted, "There was a lot of glass. You have to live that arrogant lifestyle every now and then."[5] To keep
the band focused, Cavallo enlisted his father and manager Pat Magnarella to supervise the group.
While working on Nimrod, Green Day explained to Cavallo their desire to create a more experimental album as the
band had grown tired of its traditional three chord song structure. Armstrong drew inspiration from The Clash's
landmark record London Calling, and referred to Nimrod as "the record I've wanted to make since the band started."
The album was intended to break the constraints of typical punk rock music. To preserve the quality of his
songwriting, Armstrong began writing each song on acoustic guitar, to which the rest of the band would later add
heavier instrumentation and faster tempos. Green Day recorded around 30 songs for Nimrod and picked 18 of them
for the record. Dirnt explained that the recording was much more loosely structured than previous albums, and that
creating songs was the focus as opposed to making a cohesive record. He observed, "We've always screwed around
with different types of music during our jams, but we'd say, 'OK let's stop and get back to the album.' This time we
just let them come up."
Reprise Records president Howie Klein spent a lot of time in the studio
with the band during recording, and recalled that, "What I realized
immediately is that they had seemed to mature in their musical
direction. It wasn't just more of the same. There was so much growth in
the band." The musical maturation displayed on Nimrod was partially
inspired by Bikini Kill's Reject All American (1996), which encouraged
Armstrong to balance "rough punk rock songs" and "delicate pretty
songs". Armstrong wrote "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" in
1990 and did not show the song to his bandmates until the Dookie
Armstrong (pictured in 2010) wrote "Good
recording sessions in 1993.[6] During the sessions, the song was
Riddance (Time of Your Life)" seven years
determined to be too different from the rest of the songs on Dookie, before the band began recording Nimrod.
and producer Rob Cavallo was unsure of how to structure the
recording. When the time came to record Nimrod, Armstrong decided to use the song, and Cavallo suggested they
add strings to the track. He sent the band to play foosball in another room while he recorded the strings, which took
"like fifteen, twenty minutes, maybe a half an hour at the most." Cavallo reflected on his decision to add the strings
"I knew we had done the right thing. I knew it was a hit the second I heard it."

In addition to the strings on "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", the music of Nimrod contains a variety of other
instruments not featured on previous Green Day albums. "Walking Alone" features Armstrong playing the
harmonica, despite the fact that he did not "know how to play it at all". "Hitchin' a Ride" opens with a Middle
Eastern-inspired violin performed by Petra Haden of That Dog.[7] The band invited Gabrial McNair and Stephen
Bradley of No Doubt's horn section to play on the ska-influenced "King for a Day".

Music and lyrics

"King For A Day"


This ska-influenced song contains a horn section and has been compared to an "Oi! anthem" by Armstrong.

"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"


This track consists solely of vocals, guitar, and strings. The song has been referred to as a "pop-punk campfire singalong
[8]
ballad" and differs from the band's more abrasive punk rock roots.

Nimrod is more musically varied than previous Green Day albums. Armstrong noted that with the album, Green Day
went down "different avenues," adding: "Each song has its own character and identity so we wanted to be able to
Nimrod 58

bring that out as much as possible." "Nice Guys Finish Last" has been considered a song that "eases the transition"
from Insomniac to Nimrod. Sandy Masuo of the Los Angeles Times likened "Worry Rock" to the music of Elvis
Costello. "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" has been referred to as a "pop-punk campfire singalong ballad".
After opening with Haden's violin solo, "Hitchin' a Ride" evolves into a bass-driven rock song with a "Stray Cats
vibe". Cool referred to "Take Back" (on which Armstrong employs death metal-style vocals during the chorus) and
"Platypus (I Hate You)" as "some of the most punk songs we've ever done". "Last Ride In" is a surf rock-influenced
instrumental, and "King for a Day" is a ska punk song featuring a horn section. Armstrong compared the song to the
Oi! genre, and noted "It would be funny for a bunch of macho fraternity guys to be singing along and, little do they
know, the song's about being in drag." The "chiming" guitar riffs of "Redundant" have been compared to those of
The Byrds.
Lyrically, Nimrod touches upon more reflective themes not present on earlier Green Day albums. Much of the album
illustrates Armstrong's sentiments on growing up and his role as a husband and father. "The Grouch" centers on
Armstrong's fears of "wasting away, getting fat, becoming impotent, and losing his ideals." On "Walking Alone", he
reflects on old friends from his childhood, and notes that he is "too drunk to figure out they're fading away."
Armstrong discusses the struggle to stay sober on "Hitchin' a Ride". "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" was
inspired by Armstrong's failed relationship with a woman that ended when she joined the Peace Corps in 1990.[9]
The same woman is also the subject of "She" from Dookie, "Whatsername" from American Idiot (2004) and
"Amanda" from ¡Tré!.[10]
However, other songs contain subject matter and themes more typical of Green Day's previous work. Armstrong
wrote "Nice Guys Finish Last" about the band's interactions with the band's lawyers and managers and how
"everybody thinks they know what's best for you." "Jinx" contains self-deprecating lyrics characteristic of many of
the band's songs, while "Prosthetic Head" has been referred to as a "typical ticked-off kiss-off". "King for a Day"
tells the story of a cross-dresser. "Uptight" contains repeated mentions of suicide; Armstrong explained, "I think the
word 'suicide' just sounded really good. And the line, 'I'm a son of a gun'. It made sense, but I can't really explain
why it made sense. It just sort of does."

The album received generally positive reviews from critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave Nimrod
three and a half stars out of five, calling it an "invigorating, if occasionally frustrating listen", and although he
praised Armstrong's "gift for hooky, instantly memorable melodies", he noted that "the 18 tracks whip by at such a
breakneck speed that it leaves you somewhat dazed." Greg Kot of Rolling Stone enjoyed the album's melodic nature
as well as the "measure of sincerity" present in Armstrong's vocals. Kot appreciated the return of the band's "juvenile
sense of humor" that he felt was lacking on Insomniac, and praised the musical diversity on the record, remarking,
"This music is a long way from Green Day's apprenticeship at the Gilman Street punk clubs, in Berkeley, Calif. But
Nimrod 59

now that the band has seen the world, it's only fitting that Green Day should finally make an album that sounds as if
it has."
A group of editors writing for People also praised the record's "fresh and original" melodies and "quick-tempoed
cool", adding, "Kudos to Green Day, young punk's reigning purists, for sticking with what they know best." Sandy
Masuo of the Los Angeles Times enjoyed the "mature songwriting that really makes this album tick", noting that
"Naturally, a couple of thrash 'n' bash hard-core paeans are included, but they're surrounded by songs that are
surprisingly varied in character and grounded in a pop aesthetic that evokes a gaggle of great tunesmiths." Stephen
Thompson of The A.V. Club wrote, "If Green Day still has a loyal following, its fans are bound to find something to
like on Nimrod; for all the attempts at diversity, the record is packed with mile-wide hooks and sing-along anthems."

Chart performance
Nimrod debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200, selling 81,000 copies in its first week of release, and remained
on the chart for 70 weeks. On March 16, 2000, Nimrod was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over two million copies. In Canada, the album peaked at number
four, remaining on the chart for four weeks. On July 6, 1998, the record was certified double platinum by the
Canadian Recording Industry Association for shipments of over 200,000 copies. In Australia, the album debuted at
number twelve and later peaked at number three on the country's chart. The record was later certified triple platinum
in Australia.[11]

Promotion
The Nimrod promotional tour began in the fall of 1997, and began with
an in-store record signing at a Tower Records in Manhattan.[12] The
band was upset upon reading reviews that suggested the band had lost
its punk edge, and started a riot during its scheduled eight-song set at
the store.[13] Armstrong then wrote the words "fuck" and "nimrod" in
black spray paint on the storefront windows, and proceeded to moon
the audience of 1,400 people. After the riot settled down, Cool threw
his bass drum into the crowd while Armstrong attempted the same with

On the tour in promotion of the album, Green Day aimed for simplicity
and decided not to bring new instrumentalists to play for the new songs. Armstrong commented, "Right now we're
refraining from pulling out a lot of that 'Nimrod' stuff. We want to make things small. We don't want to bring a horn
section or a violin player out with us. A lot of people want to hear the old stuff, and that stuff is still just as
significant to us." The Nimrod tour marked the first time the band performed its now-routine ritual of inviting
audience members onstage to play instruments.[14] During the tour, Armstrong felt that he became a better
performer, noting, "I think some people walk away from a Green Day concert with the emotions you would get from
some kind of theater performance where the crowd feels involved — where it's not just about the singer. It's not just
about the band."

While performing at the 1998 KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, California, Third Eye Blind bassist Arion Salazar ran
onstage and "bear-hugged" Dirnt, who was caught off-guard.[15] The incident escalated into an on-stage scuffle
before Salazar was taken away by security. After the performance, Dirnt confronted Salazar backstage, and as the
two were arguing, a beer bottle struck Dirnt in the head, causing a small fracture in his skull. Eyewitnesses later
attributed the bottle throwing to a fan of Third Eye Blind. Salazar and the band's management soon released a
Nimrod 60

statement: "I am sorry that my attempt at doing something I thought would be funny escalated into Mike getting hurt.
That was never my intention. I simply had too much to drink and made a very bad decision. If I had been in Mike's
place, I am sure I would have acted similarly. My heart goes out to him and I hope he recovers quickly."
"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" appeared in numerous events of popular culture, including a scene involving
the death of a cancer patient on the medical drama ER and the series finale of the sitcom Seinfeld in 1998.[16] The
finale of Seinfeld attracted record figures of 100 million viewers, and has been deemed "the most talked about show
finale" in US television history.

Warning is the sixth studio album by American punk rock band Green Day, released on October 3, 2000, by Reprise
Records. Building upon its predecessor, Nimrod (1997), the album eschewed the band's trademark punk rock sound
and incorporated acoustic elements and pop and folk styles. Lyrically, the record contains more optimistic and
inspirational themes in comparison with the band's earlier releases. Warning was also Green Day's first album since
Kerplunk (1992) that was not produced by Rob Cavallo, although he did have a hand in its production and was
credited as executive producer.
Despite mixed criticism towards the band's stylistic change, the album received mostly positive reviews from music
critics, who praised vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong's songwriting. Although it peaked at number four on the
Billboard 200 chart, Warning represented the lowest commercial slump in Green Day's career, being the band's first
album since signing to a major record label not to achieve multi-platinum status. The album has nonetheless been
certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and, as of December 2012, has sold 1.2 million
copies. Warning was reissued on vinyl on July 14, 2009.

Background
After taking a break from touring in promotion of the band's fourth album Insomniac (1995), Green Day recorded the
more experimental Nimrod (1997).[2] The record, which delved into a more wide variety of genres including folk,
ska, and surf rock, featured the unprecedented acoustic hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".[3]
Vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong recalled that the song's stylistic departure from the group's earlier work made
him anxious about the song's release: "I was scared for that song to come out...because it was such a vulnerable song,
Warning 64

to put that song out and it was like which way will it end up going? It was really exciting and it kind of sparked more
in us as songwriters to expand on that."[4]
The band embarked on the Nimrod promotional tour, which largely featured more intimate shows with audiences of
1,500 to 3,000 people.[5] By the end of the tour, the band noted that its audience had evolved. 924 Gilman Street, the
punk club in the band's hometown that had once banned Green Day after the group signed with a major label, booked
bassist Mike Dirnt's side prodect The Frustrators for a show.[6] Dirnt described the experience as "a wonderful piece
of closure". Punk rock music was no longer popular in the mainstream as rap metal acts such as Korn, Limp Bizkit,
and Kid Rock were experiencing success.[7] According to Studio 880 owner John Lucasey, the band was "definitely
at a very big crossroads."

Recording
For Warning, Green Day initially opted to work with a producer other
than Rob Cavallo, who had handled production of the band's last three
albums. The group selected Scott Litt, who had previously worked
with Nirvana and R.E.M.. However, the band had disagreements with
Litt over the album's musical direction; vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe
Armstrong recalled that "It just didn't work out. He was really cool, but
for that particular project, it just wasn't the right chemistry." The group
subsequently brought Cavallo back in, but this time the band handled
The music of Bob Dylan (right) was a major most of the production duties, with Cavallo instead serving as
influence on the band during the writing and "executive producer".[8] During the album's writing and early recording
recording of Warning. sessions, Armstrong repeatedly listened to Bob Dylan's 1965 record
Bringing It All Back Home, which had a major influence over both
Warning's musical experimentation and socially conscious lyrics.

The band began work on the album two years before entering the studio to record on April 1, 2000. During this
period, the group members met five days a week to write new songs and rehearse old ones, with Tre Cool observing,
"We've been practicing and writing songs and playing them and playing them and writing new songs and playing
them and playing them... People think we're off in Hawaii kicking back and shit, but we're in Oakland playing our
jams." The album was recorded at Studio 880 in Oakland. Cool noted of the band's work ethic in the studio, "We're
not really sprinting. We're working at the same pace, but it's a pretty fast pace for recording. We're faster than every
other band, pretty much. That's what I've been told." With the record, the band aimed to construct a solid list of
tracks where "each song could be its own album". The group also made sure to make each song "well thought out
and well placed" with regard to the album's track listing.

Music and lyrics


"Warning"
The album's title track exemplifies Warning's "percussive acoustic" sound. It contains layered vocals and a "circling" riff
that has been compared to "Picture Book" by The Kinks.

"Misery"
The sixth track from the record, "Misery" features "mariachi brass" instrumentation, as well as strings, accordions, and
acoustic guitar.

Warning 65

With Warning, the band experimented with more acoustic guitars, and strove for a "not sappy acoustic... more
aggressive, percussive acoustic" sound. Cool and bassist Mike Dirnt also emphasized "deeper" grooves on the
record. The title track, a "densely produced blast of layered vocals [and] strummed acoustic guitars", features a
"circling bass riff" similar to that of "Picture Book" by The Kinks. "Waiting", which has been categorized as a
"retro-pop lament", is based on the riff from Petula Clark's 1964 song "Downtown".[9] Its melody has also been
compared to The Mamas & the Papas and the hook to Kiss. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly felt that "Misery"
is "probably Billie Joe's idea of a Brecht-Weill pop operetta." It features "mariachi brass" instrumentation, as well as
strings, accordions, and acoustic guitar. The song's five-minute length has been called "an epic by Green Day
standards". The use of a harmonica on "Hold On" has been compared to The Beatles' "Love Me Do". "Macy's Day
Parade" contains elements of both folk and pop.
The album features more positive and uplifting lyrics in comparison with Green Day's earlier work. Cool noted that,
"It's got the sarcasm, it's got the snottiness, but it's got a little light at the end of the tunnel." Warning also contains
more explicitly political themes, as exemplified by tracks such as "Minority". This was inspired by Armstrong's fear
that presidential nominee Al Gore was going to lose the 2000 U.S. presidential election and that "someone really
conservative" would take office.[10] He recalled, "We've always tried to keep an ear to the ground and keep our eyes
open to what's going on...that's one reason why I was really taking my time writing songs to really [make an impact].
Instead of just writing an overly knee-jerk reaction."[11] According to Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, the lyrics
of "Minority" serve as "a reminder of the youthful mentality of Green Day's early work". "Misery" tells various
stories in its verses, all of which end unhappily. The first verse centers on a girl named Virginia who was a "lot
lizard", a term for a prostitute who exchanges sex for money with truck drivers at interstate highway truck stops.[12]
"Blood, Sex and Booze" explores the subject of sadomasochism.

Reception

Commercial performance
Warning peaked at number four on the Billboard 200, remaining on the chart for 25 weeks. On December 1, 2000,
the record was certified gold by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of over 500,000
copies. In Canada, the record reached the number two position and stayed on the chart for five weeks. On August 1,
2001, the album was certified platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association for shipments of over
100,000 units. Warning also reached the top ten in multiple countries outside of North America, including Australia,
Italy, and the United Kingdom. The album was later certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry
Association (ARIA) for shipments of over 70,000 copies. As of December 20, 2012, Warning has sold 1.2 million
copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Warning received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out
of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72 based on 19 reviews, which
indicates "generally favorable reviews". Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker perceived a maturity in the album's
lyrical content and called its music "as peppy as any Green Day have recorded". Charlotte Robinson of PopMatters
commended Billie Joe Armstrong's lyrics and noted the band for embracing "the pop bent that has always been a part
of their sound". The A.V. Club's Stephen Thompson stated "Green Day has never made a record so slick and
musically mature". Los Angeles Times writer Natalie Nichols wrote that the album "reveal[s] them shaking off the
transitional aspects of 1997's 'Nimrod' to craft a more coherent, less aggressive but still rebellious collection that also
draws on the even older pop traditions of Bob Dylan, the Beatles and the Who". "Metal" Mike Saunders of The
Village Voice viewed Warning as the band's best work and compared its music to that of The Beatles' Rubber Soul
(1965).[13] In his consumer guide for The Village Voice, critic Robert Christgau gave the album an A- rating,[]
indicating "the kind of garden-variety good record that is the great luxury of musical micromarketing and
overproduction. Anyone open to its aesthetic will enjoy more than half its tracks".[14] Christgau noted
"professionalism, craft, artistic growth" rather than maturity in Armstrong's songwriting and elaborated on his
change in musical direction, stating:
He's abandoning the first person. He's assuming fictional personas. And he's creating for himself the
voice of a thinking left-liberal who 'want[s] to be the minority' and cautions against caution itself--a
voice that scolds rather than whines, a nice age-appropriate shift. Crucially, his knack for simple punk
tunes remains unchanged; also crucially, these do fine at moderate tempos, and one even gives off a
whiff of Brecht-Weill.
By contrast, NME's Andy Capper was ambivalent towards the band's "less electric, more organic sound" and stated
"Older. More Mature. 'Warning' is the sound of a band losing its way".[] Greg Kot of Rolling Stone wrote that
Armstrong "can't muster the same excitement for his more mature themes" and stated "Who wants to listen to songs
of faith, hope and social commentary from what used to be snot-core's biggest-selling band?".[] Adam Downer of
Sputnikmusic gave it three out of five stars and commented that it "consists of instant classics like Minority and
Macy's Day Parade, but it also is filled with garbage songs as well".[15] Spin writer Jesse Berrett stated "these
maturity moves buoy muzzy be-yourselfism ... Nor does everything in the stylistic grab bag fit", but concluded by
complimenting Armstrong's "earnestly good-hearted" lyrics and wrote that "this album is after... evidence that even
the snottiest deserve grace and the chance to age into warmth".[] Q gave the album three out of five stars and
described it as "Hugely likeable, terribly noisy and cute, as well as being jammed with proper pop songs". Neal
Warning 67

Weiss of Yahoo! Music called the album "crafty pop-rock" and stated "Some might wish Green Day never decided
to grow up like this, but others might consider it a starting point to take the band seriously". Slant Magazine editor
Sal Cinquemani perceived elements of folk and "pop sensibilities", writing that the album "displays just how well
Green Day can construct pop songs".[]

Retrospect
Writing in 2009 with regard to Warning's lackluster commercial performance, James Montgomery of MTV News
called the record "unjustly overlooked" and applauded Armstrong's "super strong" songwriting on the album. In The
New Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), Rolling Stone journalist Michaelangelo Matos gave the album four out of
five stars and wrote that the band "fully focus on the textures that have always differentiated their sturdy grooves and
simple melodies".[] Matos called the songs "speedy, neatly packaged reinterpretations of pop-rock history, from the
Beatles to Creedence Clearwater Revival to the Ramones themselves". Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine
called it "gleeful, unabashed fun" and complimented Green Day for "embracing their fondness for pop and making
the best damn album they'd ever made".[] Erlewine expressed that the band displays "melodic ingenuity and
imaginative arrangements" and elaborated on its musical significance, stating "Warning may not be an innovative
record per se, but it's tremendously satisfying; it finds the band at a peak of songcraft and performance, doing it all
without a trace of self-consciousness. It's the first great pure pop album of the new millennium". Dom Passantino of
Stylus Magazine cited it as "the most influential album on the British pop landscape since 1996 (Spice, naturally)",
noting it as a significant influence on "the two biggest bands in the UK at the moment, and indeed for the past few
years, Busted and McFly".[16] Passantino called Warning "a great album" and viewed that Green Day "seemed to be
bored with their genre-medium, but simultaneously knowledgeable that any attempt to boundary-hop will end with
them falling on their face".

Promotion and impact


While Green Day was nearing completion of Warning, the band
announced it would be performing on the 2000 Vans Warped Tour
during the summer before the album's October release. Although the
group had been invited to perform on the tour before, the band was
unable to do so due to scheduling conflicts. Because of Green Day's
new stylistic change displayed on Warning, the band was considered
an unconventional choice for the tour. Jason White, guitarist for
Armstrong's side project Pinhead Gunpowder, was recruited to perform
with the band to add "more power" to the group's sound; White
Green Day recruited touring guitarist Jason White
observed that "Even I was like, 'Why are Green Day on the Warped
to perform with the band on the 2000 Vans
Tour?'". Fat Mike of NOFX recalled, "They were the biggest band on Warped Tour.
the tour but it wasn't by far. Green Day weren't super popular at that
time. I think they did the Warped tour because they wanted to get popular again."[9] He also went on to call Warning
"probably their worst album, I think. It's what happens, the ups and downs." However, Joel Madden of Good
Charlotte, whose 2002 release The Young and the Hopeless outsold Warning, opined that "I was definitely aware that
our record at the time sold more maybe than their record but I think we idolized them so much that it didn't matter.
We thought Warning was one of their best records."[17]

In January 2001, Colin Merry of the English rock band Other Garden filed a breach of copyright lawsuit against
Green Day, claiming that the album's title track is a "reworked" version of his band's 1992 song "Never Got the
Chance". Merry noted that despite both songs' similarity to the riff of "Picture Book" by The Kinks, the similarity
between "Warning" and "Never Got the Chance" was more "striking". Green Day denied the accusations, and
although Merry requested to halt all royalties from "Warning", the lawsuit was later dropped.
Warning 68

Green Day also co-headlined a "shared bill" with fellow Californian pop-punk band Blink-182 on the Pop Disaster
Tour from April to June 2002. The two bands traded off headlining positions throughout the tour, as Blink-182 was
experiencing higher record sales at the time, while Green Day had experienced mainstream success for a longer
period of time. Armstrong explained Green Day's desire to perform on the tour by stating, "We really wanted to be
part of an event. We figured putting the two biggest pop punk bands on the planet together was definitely going to be
an event." In his book Nobody Likes You: Inside the Turbulent Life, Times and Music of Green Day, author Marc
Spitz likened Blink-182 headlining a tour with Green Day to "Frank Sinatra, Jr. headlining over Frank Sinatra."

American Idiot is the seventh studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. The album was produced
by longtime collaborator Rob Cavallo. In mid-2003, the band began recording songs for an album titled Cigarettes
and Valentines, but the master tracks were stolen, and the band decided to start recording a new album rather than
re-record Cigarettes and Valentines.
American Idiot 72

Green Day decided to produce a rock opera, inspired by the work of The Who and several musicals. The album
follows the life of Jesus of Suburbia, a character with "antihero" image created by Billie Joe Armstrong. Following
early recording at Studio 880 in Oakland, California, the band finished the album at Ocean Way Recording in
Hollywood.
American Idiot was released by Reprise Records on September 20, 2004, in the United Kingdom and September 21,
2004, in the United States. The album achieved success worldwide, charting in 27 countries and peaking at number
one in 19 of them, including the US and the UK. Since its release, American Idiot has sold over 15 million copies
worldwide, over 6 million copies of which were in the United States alone, including 267,000 in its opening week
making it the band's second-best selling album after Dookie. The album spawned five successful singles, including
the international hits "American Idiot", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September
Ends" and "Jesus of Suburbia"; all of which received Platinum certification by the RIAA. American Idiot also won
the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2005, making it the first of two Grammy Awards to be won by Green
Day. The second would be their follow-up release 21st Century Breakdown in 2009.

Background and recording


In 2000, Green Day released the folk-influenced album Warning. The record was considered to be a commercial
disappointment, and the band decided to take a break from music after co-headlining the Pop Disaster Tour with
Blink-182.[1] Hoping to clear his head and develop new ideas for songs, vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong
traveled to New York City alone for a few weeks, renting a small apartment in the East Village of Manhattan.[2] He
spent much of this time taking long walks and participating in jam sessions in the basement of Hi-Fi, a bar in
Manhattan.[3]
In mid-2003, Green Day convened at Studio 880 in Oakland, California, and recorded about 20 songs for an album
titled Cigarettes and Valentines.[4] However, the master tracks were stolen. The band consulted producer Rob
Cavallo about what to do next. Cavallo told the members to ask themselves if the missing tracks represented the
group's best work.[5] Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said that the band members "couldn't honestly look at ourselves
and say, 'That was the best thing we've ever done.' So we decided to move on and do something completely new."
The band members agreed to spend the next three months writing new material.[6]
One day, bassist Mike Dirnt was in the studio recording a 30-second song by himself. Armstrong decided he wanted
to do the same, and drummer Tré Cool followed suit. Armstrong recalled, "It started getting more serious as we tried
to outdo one another. We kept connecting these little half-minute bits until we had something." This musical suite
became "Homecoming", and the group subsequently wrote another suite, "Jesus of Suburbia". The band followed
concept records by The Who, as well as musicals such as West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar. During the
group's sessions at Studio 880, the members of Green Day spent their days writing material and would stay up late,
drinking and discussing music. The band set up a pirate radio station from which it would broadcast jam sessions,
along with occasional prank calls.
With demos completed, Green Day relocated to Los Angeles to continue work on the album.[7] The group first
recorded at Ocean Way Recording, then moved to Capitol Studios to complete the album. Armstrong said, "As a
songwriter, I get so deep into what I'm writing about, it's almost like I have to stir up shit to write about it." The band
admitted to partying during the L.A. sessions; Armstrong had to schedule vocal recording sessions around his
hangovers. Armstrong described the environment, "For the first time, we separated from our pasts, from how we
were supposed to behave as Green Day. For the first time, we fully accepted the fact that we're rock stars."
American Idiot 73

American Idiot is a concept album that describes the story of a central character named Jesus of Suburbia. Frontman
Armstrong said, "As soon as you abandon the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge song structure ... it opens up your
mind to this different way of writing, where there really are no rules." He also added that "the band aimed to be
ambitious, which he felt many contemporary rock bands were not."
The band used more loud guitar sounds for the record. Armstrong said "we were like, 'Let's just go balls-out on the
guitar sound—plug in the Les Pauls and Marshalls and let it rip'". Armstrong added tracks of acoustic guitar-playing
throughout the record to augment his electric guitar rhythms and Cool's drumming.

Story
The album follows the life of Jesus of Suburbia, a character with anti-hero image created by Billie Joe Armstrong.
Jesus of Suburbia hates his town and those close to him, so he leaves for the city.[8] As the album progresses the
characters St. Jimmy and Whatsername are introduced. St. Jimmy is a punk rock freedom fighter. Whatsername,
inspired by the Bikini Kill song "Rebel Girl", is a "Mother Revolution" figure that Armstrong described as "kind of
St. Jimmy's nemesis in a lot of ways". Both characters illustrate the "rage vs. love" theme of the album, in that "you
can go with the blind rebellion of self-destruction, where Saint Jimmy is. But there's a more love-driven side to that,
which is following your beliefs and ethics. And that's where Jesus of Suburbia really wants to go", according to
Armstrong. Near the end of the story, St. Jimmy commits metaphorical suicide. While the singer did not want to give
away the details of the story's resolution, he said the intention is for the listener to ultimately realize that Jesus of
Suburbia is really St. Jimmy, and Jimmy is "part of the main character that pretty much dies". In the album's final
song, "Whatsername", Jesus of Suburbia loses his connection with Whatsername as well, even to the point in which
he can't even remember her name, hence the title.

Artwork
After finishing the music for the album, the band decided that the artwork needed to reflect the themes on the record,
likening the change of image to a political campaign. Armstrong recalled: "We wanted to be firing on all cylinders.
Everything from the aesthetic to the music to the look. Just everything." Green Day drew inspiration from Chinese
communist propaganda art the band saw in art galleries on Melrose Avenue, and recruited artist Chris Bilheimer,
who had designed the art for the previous records Nimrod and International Superhits! to create the cover. The band
aimed for the cover to be "at once uniform and powerful". After listening to the new music on his computer,
Bilheimer took note of the lyric "And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade" from "She's a Rebel".
American Idiot 74

Influenced by artist Saul Bass's poster for the 1955 drama film The Man with the Golden Arm, Bilheimer created an
upstretched arm holding a red heart-shaped grenade. Although he felt that red is the "most overused color in graphic
design", he felt that the "immediate" qualities of the color deemed it appropriate for use on the cover, explaining:
"I'm sure there's psychological theories of it being the same color of blood and therefore has the powers of life and
death...And as a designer I always feel it's kind of a cop-out, so I never used it before. But there was no way you
couldn't use it on this cover."[9]

Release and reception

Commercial performance
Upon its release in September 2004, American Idiot peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. The
album achieved six times platinum status in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.[citation needed] Five
singles were released from the album, all of which charted on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. "Boulevard
of Broken Dreams" topped both the Mainstream and the Modern Rock charts.[citation needed]

Uncut

American Idiot received generally positive reviews from music critics. According to review aggregator website
Metacritic, the album has an average critic review score of 79/100, based on 26 reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine
of Allmusic praised the album as either "a collection of great songs" or as a whole, writing that, "in its musical
muscle and sweeping, politically charged narrative, it's something of a masterpiece". Pitchfork Media commended it
as "ambitious" and successful in getting across its message, while "keep[ing] its mood and method deliberately,
tenaciously, and angrily on point". NME characterized it as "an onslaught of varied and marvellously good tunes
presented in an unexpectedly inventive way." Q called the album "A powerful work, noble in both intent and
execution." The New York Times commended Green Day for trumping "any pretension with melody and sheer
fervor".
Entertainment Weekly said that despite being based on a musical theater concept "that periodically makes no sense",
Green Day "makes the journey entertaining enough". It described some of the songs as forgettable, though, arguing
the album focuses more on lyrics than music. Rolling Stone said the album could have been, and was, a mess, but
that the "individual tunes are tough and punchy enough to work on their own". The Guardian called American Idiot a
American Idiot 75

mess—"but a vivid, splashy, even courageous mess". Uncut wrote that although the album was heavily politically
focused, "slam-dancing is still possible", in a mixed review. In a negative review, Robert Christgau of The Village
Voice called the album a "dud" and asserted that Armstrong's lyrics eschew "sociopolitical content" for "the
emotional travails of two clueless punks—one passive, one aggressive, both projections of the auteur", adding that
"there's no economics, no race, hardly any compassion."

Accolades
In 2005, American Idiot won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and was nominated in four other categories
including Album of the Year.[citation needed] The album helped Green Day win seven of the eight awards it was
nominated for at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards; the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" video won six of those
awards. A year later, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year.[citation needed] In
2009, Kerrang! named American Idiot the best album of the decade, NME ranked it number 60 in a similar list, and
Rolling Stone ranked it 22nd. Rolling Stone also listed "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "American Idiot" among
the 100 best songs of the 2000s, at number 65 and 47 respectively. In 2005, the album was ranked number 420 in
Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time. In 2012, the album was ranked
number 225 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

American Idiot 76

Adaptations
In late 2005, Dean Gray released a mash-up version of the album—called
American Edit—and became a cause célèbre when the artist was served with a
cease and desist order by Green Day's record label. Tracks include "American
Edit, "Dr. Who on Holiday", "Novocaine Rhapsody", and "Boulevard of Broken
Songs." Billie Joe Armstrong later stated that he heard one of the songs on the
radio and "enjoyed it."

The American Idiot stage musical adaptation premiered at the Berkeley


Repertory Theatre in September 2009. It was initially intended to run through
October 11, but before the premiere, the theatre announced a three-week
extension. The musical is a collaboration between Green Day and director
Michael Mayer. Green Day does not appear in the production, but the show
features an onstage band. According to Susan Medak, managing director of the
Berkeley Repertory, the theater was part of the producing team and had been
looking for work that crosses generational lines.
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong
The production transferred to Broadway at the St. James Theatre, began previews performing at the Cardiff
International Arena for the Cardiff
on March 24, 2010 and officially opened on April 20, 2010. The show received
leg of the UK American Idiot tour,
mixed to positive reviews from critics, but got an all-important rave review from 2005.
The New York Times. American Idiot won two 2010 Tony Awards: Best Scenic
Design of a Musical for Christine Jones, and Best Lighting Design of a Musical for Kevin Adams. It also received a
nomination for Best Musical.

Replacement performers included Van Hughes as Johnny, American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini as Will, David
Larsen as Tunny, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong as St Jimmy, Rebecca Naomi Jones as Whatsername,
Jeanna de Waal as Heather, and Libby Winters as Extraordinary Girl. The show features all of the songs from the
album American Idiot, including b-sides, and songs from Green Day's follow-up album, 21st Century Breakdown.
On September 26, it was announced that Armstrong would be appearing in the Broadway production for a limited
time (September 27 – October 3, 2010) as St. Jimmy while Tony Vincent attends to a family matter. Armstrong
returned to the production in 2011 for a 50 performance run from January 1 through February 27. In addition, singer
Melissa Etheridge assumed the role of St. Jimmy the first week of February 2011. After Etheridge left, the role of St.
Jimmy was rotated through several cast members, before Armstrong retook the role on April 5, 2011, for the final
weeks of the show. The Broadway production closed on April 24, 2011, after 27 previews and 421 regular
performances. The first national tour started in late 2011.
On January 23, 2013, it was announced that a documentary showing Armstrong's journey from punk rock to
Broadway was to be released. Calling Broadway Idiot and showing a lot of behind-the-scenes of the American Idiot
musical production, the movie will be directed by Doug Hamilton, veteran television journalist for CBS News 60
Minutes and PBS documentaries like Nova, Frontline and American Masters. A trailer was released on January 30,
2013. The documentary will be premiered on South by Southwest Film Festival in March 15, 2013.

Film
Shortly after the album was released, there was speculation that American Idiot might be made into a film. VH1
quoted Armstrong as saying "We've definitely been talking about someone writing a script for it, and there's been a
few different names that have been thrown at us. It sounds really exciting, but for right now it's just talk." Armstrong
later stated that filming would begin for American Idiot: The Motion Picture in 2006, stressing, "We want to see how
it turns out first so that it doesn't suck." On June 1, 2006, Armstrong announced in an interview with MTV.com that
"it's definitely unfolding" and that "every single week there's more ideas about doing a film for American Idiot, and
American Idiot 77

it's definitely going to happen", but the band later said, "It is gonna take a little while." In the summer of 2010, talk
about creating a film adaption was brought up again, after actor Tom Hanks was interested in producing it. In an
interview with Virgin Radio, when asked if the film was "true, a lie, or a mystery?" Tré Cool responded by saying
that it was "a true mystery".
On April 13, 2011, the film American Idiot was confirmed. Michael Mayer, director of the Broadway musical, will
be the director of the film. The film will be written by Dustin Lance Black and produced by Green Day, Pat
Magnarella (Green Day's manager and producer of Bullet in a Bible and Awesome as Fuck), Playtone (Tom Hanks
and Gary Goetzman) and Tom Hulce.

21st Century Breakdown is the eighth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It is the band's
second rock opera, following American Idiot, and their first album to be produced by Butch Vig. Green Day
commenced work on the record in January 2006 and forty-five songs were written by vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe
Armstrong by October 2007, but the band members did not enter studio work until January 2008.[1]
The album was released May 15, 2009 through Reprise Records. Armstrong has described the album as a "snapshot
of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us,
whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority". The singles "Know Your Enemy"
and "21 Guns" exemplify the themes of alienation and politically motivated anger present in the record.
Critical response to 21st Century Breakdown was generally positive. The record achieved Green Day's best chart
performance to date by reaching number one on the album charts of various countries, including the United States
Billboard 200, the European Top 100 Albums, and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. It was awarded the Grammy
Award for Best Rock Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards held on January 31, 2010. As of December 2010, 21st
Century Breakdown has sold 1,005,000 copies in the United States and more than 4 million worldwide.
21st Century Breakdown 83

Writing and recording


Green Day began to write new songs for what would become 21st Century Breakdown in January 2006 after touring
extensively in 2005 in support of their seventh studio album American Idiot. At the time, frontman Billie Joe
Armstrong stated, "We'll start with silence, and that's how we'll be able to find the inspiration to find another record."
The band did not release any details of the writing and recording process until October 2007, when Armstrong said
in an interview with Rolling Stone that he had written "something like 45 songs". The band members worked on the
primitive conceptual stages of the album at their rehearsal studio in Oakland, California. Little was revealed on the
themes or musical style of the album, but Armstrong pointed out, "I want to dig into who I am and what I'm feeling
at this moment – which is middle-aged." He added that many of the 45 songs were written on piano rather than
guitar.
Green Day began the recording process for 21st Century Breakdown in January 2008. Later that year, it was
confirmed that the band worked with producer Butch Vig. The album was recorded with Vig throughout 2008 and
into early 2009 at four locations in California: Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, Studio 880 in Oakland, Jel
Studios in Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa Studios in Costa Mesa. While recording in Hollywood, the band
members bought cheap turntables from Amoeba Music and listened to many vinyl records for inspiration, including
albums by The Beat and The Plimsouls.[2] Armstrong cited as inspiration the music of The Kinks' Ray Davies, The
Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow, The Doors' The Doors and Strange Days, and Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell. Drummer Tré
Cool noted the influence of Eddie Cochran and The Creation on Armstrong's writing.
While writing at his home studio, Armstrong worked on a cover of The Who's 1966 mini-opera "A Quick One,
While He's Away"; Green Day recorded a full-band version of the song during the album sessions.[3] Vig noted that
frustrations would sometimes cause delays in the recording process for 21st Century Breakdown. Armstrong kept his
lyrics closely guarded and intentionally mixed his demos so that the vocals were low in the mix and thus
unintelligible to the other band members. It was not until late 2008 that he chose to share his words with Cool, Vig,
and bassist Mike Dirnt by sitting down with them and reading the entire album's lyrics aloud in order. The band
members made the finishing touches on the album in early April 2009 and claimed that its release would lead to a
"kind of... post-partum depression".

Themes and composition


21 Guns
"21 Guns" was released as the 2nd single off the album and discusses patriotism, Billie Joe said to Q magazine "It brings up
21st Century Breakdown in a lot of ways, and the 21 gun-salute for someone that's fallen, but done in an arena rock 'n' roll
sort of way."

21st Century Breakdown


"21st Century Breakdown" was inspired by Billie Joe's personal life and the struggles he went though as a child.

Last of American Girls


"Last of the American Girls" was released as the final single.

I look at Christian and Gloria, and it's me. Gloria is one side: this person trying to hold on to this sense of belief, still trying to do
good. Whereas Christian is deep into his own demons and victimizing himself over that.

Billie Joe Armstrong, on the link between the two main protagonists of 21st Century Breakdown and himself

21st Century Breakdown continues the rock opera style of its predecessor, American Idiot. The album is divided into
three acts: "Heroes and Cons", "Charlatans and Saints", and "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" and is set in Detroit,
Michigan. Its loose narrative follows a young couple named Christian and Gloria through the challenges present in
21st Century Breakdown 84

the U.S. following the presidency of George W. Bush. Bassist Mike Dirnt has compared the relationships between
the songs to those in Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, saying that the themes are not as tightly interwoven as in a
concept album, but that they are still connected. Many of the record's themes and lyrics are drawn from Armstrong's
personal life and he sings in the first-person narrative style about abandonment and vengeance in "Before the
Lobotomy", "Christian's Inferno", and "Peacemaker". Rolling Stone noted that the album is "the most personal,
emotionally convulsive record Armstrong has ever written".
The title track's opening lyric "Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell" references Armstrong's birth year of 1972,
while "We are the class of '13" references the fact that his eldest son, Joseph, will graduate from high school in 2013.
Dirnt has expressed his belief that "Last of the American Girls" was written about Armstrong's wife Adrienne, who
he claimed is steadfast in her beliefs and assertively defends them. Armstrong has cited his "disconnected"
childhood—he was raised by his five older siblings after their father's death, while their mother worked graveyard
shifts as a waitress—as the roots of the discontent expressed on 21st Century Breakdown. "East Jesus Nowhere"
rebukes fundamentalist religion and was written after Armstrong attended a church service where a friend's baby was
baptized.
Musically, 21st Century Breakdown is similar to the punk rock style of American Idiot, but many critics have
claimed that Green Day's traditional sound has evolved in the five years since their last release to incorporate new
influences such as heavier, louder pop rock and stadium rock on an epic scale. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone
indicated that the album sports ballads that are Green Day's most polished; he claimed that the band "combine punk
thrash with their newfound love of classic-rock grandiosity". MTV compared the material to that of classic rockers
like The Who, while Spin called the title track "Green Day's most epic song yet". Cool has remarked, "It's important
to us that we're still looked at as a punk band. It was our religion, our higher education", but has noted that
Armstrong had delved into the past in writing 21st Century Breakdown by gleaning inspiration from the artists who
shaped rock music. Armstrong himself has stated, "Ground zero for me is still punk rock. I like painting an ugly
picture. I get something uplifting out of singing some of the most horrifying shit you can sing about. It's just my
DNA."

Promotion and release


Green Day commenced work on the record in January 2006. The
writing and recording process spanned three years and four
California recording studios and was finished in April 2009. On
February 9, 2009, Green Day announced the album title and that
the record would be split into three acts: Heroes and Cons,
Charlatans and Saints, and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. On
March 17, a teaser trailer for 21st Century Breakdown was posted
on the band's website. The international release date of May 15
was announced on March 25. In early April 2009, Green Day
premiered Know Your Enemy on television; a portion of the song
Green Day performing in a 21st Century Breakdown
was used as introductory music to the 2009 NCAA Men's showcase concert at the Kesselhaus, Berlin, May 7,
Basketball Tournament Championship game. The band first 2009
performed 21st Century Breakdown in full during a string of
California club shows in April 2009. At each show, concertgoers were given programs containing all of the album's
lyrics. The first single, Know Your Enemy, was released on April 16 2009, and soon after the world premiere of the
song's music video occurred on April 24 on the MTV UK website.

21st Century Breakdown was released internationally on May 15, 2009, through Reprise Records. The special
edition vinyl version was limited to 3,000 copies and consisted of three 10" records, one for each of the album's
"acts", a CD copy of the album, a 60-page art booklet, and a code for the digital download of the full album. The
21st Century Breakdown 85

album artwork process was led by Chris Bilheimer and is based on a work from artist Sixten, who confirmed that the
couple on the cover were "just friends of a friend at a party in Eskilstuna, Sweden" and explained that a mutual
friend snapped a picture of the pair kissing. He added, "I love their passion, and just had to make a stencil out of it to
spread the love." The cover art was noted for a marked similarity with that of Blur's 2003 album Think Tank, itself a
stencil by artist Banksy. Green Day showcased a collection of similarly themed art, called "The Art of Rock", at an
art exhibition in London between October 23 and November 1, 2009.
The record reached number one on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., where it sold 215,000 copies in its first week,
which was a shortened three days. The album remained at number one on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart for
three weeks. In Canada, the album debuted at #1 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 30,000 copies in its first
week. The album debuted at the top of sales charts in twenty four total countries, including a peak of number one on
the European Top 100 Albums. 21st Century Breakdown was only released in a Parental Advisory version
containing explicit lyrics and content; Wal-Mart refuses to sell albums with a Parental Advisory sticker and
requested that Green Day release a censored edition. The band members responded by stating, "There's nothing dirty
about our record... They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there. We just said no. We've
never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something." The second single, "21 Guns", was released to radio
stations on May 25. The band embarked on a world tour in July 2009; the North American leg lasted through
September and the European leg ended in November. "East Jesus Nowhere" was released as the album's third single
on October 19, 2009.

Media reception to 21st Century Breakdown was generally favorable; aggregating website Metacritic reported a
rating of 70 percent in July 2009 based on 30 critical reviews. Dan Silver of The Observer awarded the record four
stars out of five and likened it to both Bruce Springsteen's music and the avant-garde writing of Chuck Palahniuk.
Rolling Stone's David Fricke called 21st Century Breakdown "a compound bomb of classic-rock ecstasy, no-mercy
punk assault and pop-song wiles; it's like The Clash's London Calling, The Who's Quadrophenia and Hüsker Dü's
Zen Arcade all compressed into 18 songs". Dan Cairns of The Times concluded, "Lyrically, it may succeed in
21st Century Breakdown 86

capturing the contradictions, vulnerabilities and longing for harmony that thrum through Armstrong, Dirnt and Cool,
their country, and humanity as a whole. But its real triumph, in an age of trimming, of market testing, of
self-censorship and lowest common denominators, is not simply to aim insanely high, but to make it to the summit."
Criticism centered on the concept of the record; BBC's Chris Jones said that it is "griping vaguely against
'authority' " and that "too many buzz words obscure incisive meaning". Steve Kandell of Spin wrote that the humor
of American Idiot was "sorely missed" and that the energy of the album seemed "directionless". The Guardian's
Alexis Petridis indicated that "the storyline becomes impossible to follow". Adam Downer of Sputnikmusic was the
most critical professional reviewer of the album and questioned the clarity of the lyrics by calling 21st Century
Breakdown "more conceptually vague/ridiculous than American Idiot"; he went on to say that it "spirals out of
control in its own heroic glory and never regains focus, thus ending with a product that Green Day couldn’t afford to
produce: an average record".

Background and recording


In February 2012, Billie Joe Armstrong announced that the band was
in the studio, recording material for a new album. In the statement, he
said, "We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives... This
is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming.
Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy.
Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all
emotional levels. We just can't help ourselves ... We are going epic as
fuck!"

Lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe ArmstrongThe band started work by rehearsing every other day and making
wrote all of the album's lyrics. songs. They recorded the album at Jingletown Studios in Oakland,
California. The band recorded 37 songs and initially thought of making
a double album. Armstrong suggested making a trilogy of albums like Van Halen's Van Halen I, Van Halen II and
Van Halen III. He stated in an interview, "The songs just kept coming, kept coming. I'd go, Maybe a double album?
No, that's too much nowadays. Then more songs kept coming. And one day, I sprung it on the others: 'Instead of Van
Halen I, II and III, what if it's Green Day I, II and III and we all have our faces on each cover?'"

Writing and composition


In an interview to Rolling Stone, Armstrong stated that the theme of ¡Uno! would be different from that of 21st
Century Breakdown and American Idiot, and would not be a third rock opera. He also added that music on the record
would be "punchier, more power pop – somewhere between AC/DC and the early Beatles" than the band's previous
albums. He also stated that few songs on the album would also sound like garage rock and dance music. According
to Armstrong, the song "Kill the DJ" was "straight-up dance music" and "four-on-the-floor rhythm", which the band
has never done before.

Release and promotion


In April 2012, Green Day announced through a press release it would be releasing a trilogy of albums titled ¡Uno!,
¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! and stated that they would be released on September 25, 2012, November 13, 2012, and January 15,
2013 (later moved up to December 11, 2012), respectively, through Reprise Records. ¡Uno!, the first album from the
trilogy, was released on September 24, 2012, in the United Kingdom and on September 25 in the United States.

Artwork
Green Day stated in an interview that each album from the trilogy ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! has a face from the band
members on their cover.
The band uploaded a trailer for the album on their official channel on YouTube showing the band in the recording
studio, recording the album with the songs written on an erase board on June 14, 2012. During the trailer the cover
artwork for the album was revealed. It features a black-and-white cutout of Billie Joe Armstrong's face, with his eyes
crossed-out with pink X's, on a geometric, neon electric green background. The word "Green Day" is loudly splashed
in pink across the top of the cover, while the word "¡Uno!" is sprawled in white in the lower left-hand corner.

Singles
"Oh Love", was released as the first single from ¡Uno!. It was released as the lead single on July 16, 2012. Upon its
release as the lead song, "Oh Love" debuted on multiple world charts. The song made its debut at number one on the
US Rock Songs with 13 million audience impressions at 145 reporting stations. The song is the band's first to debut
at number one on the charts and the third song ever to debut at number one on the Rock Songs chart, following
Linkin Park's "The Catalyst" and Foo Fighters' "Rope" which made their debuts at number one on August 21, 2010
and March 12, 2011 respectively.
"Kill the DJ" was released as the second single from the album in Europe and Oceania on August 14, 2012. The
single premiered on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 in the UK the day before its release.
"Let Yourself Go" was released as the third single from ¡Uno! on September 5, 2012. The song was performed live
at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 6, 2012. The band also performed on Good Morning America to
promote the album.
"Nuclear Family" was released as a promotional single in conjunction with Yahoo! and Spotify on September 11,
2012. The song was made available to stream for free and available to purchase through Spotify. A video for the
song featuring the band playing it in a studio debuted on Yahoo! Music and the band's official YouTube channel the
same day. A similar video of the band performing "Stay the Night" was released on Rolling Stone's website on
September 23, 2012. The video is included with the deluxe edition of ¡Uno! on iTunes. On October 6, the band
uploaded the video of them performing "Troublemaker".

¡Uno! received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a
normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 67, which
indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 32 reviews. David Fricke of Rolling Stone complimented the
album's "12 blasts of hook-savvy mosh-pit pop" and found it to be a "plain relief" after the "weight and worry" of the
band's previous two albums, observing "a hipper, richer grip in the details." Melissa Maerz of Entertainment Weekly
¡Uno! 96

called the album "a welcome switch from high concept to high energy." Kerrang! called it "a sharp and often
exhilarating change of gear from the Green Day of the past eight years." BBC Music's Ian Winwood called it "a
work of masterfully controlled music." Mojo recommended it to fans of the band's 1994 album Dookie and stated,
"your favourite slacker-punks are, briefly, back." Scott Heisel of Alternative Press praised its "loud, fast,
catchy-as-fuck punk rock" and wrote that its "stripped down instrumentation" and "more direct lyrics" are "mutually
beneficial." Jason Heller of The A.V. Club commented that "filler abounds, and it doesn’t land with quite as much
delirious abandon as it once did, but Armstrong’s power-pop impulse can still pack a face-splitting punch." Allmusic
editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine felt that its "big, crisp, and clean" sound "undercuts some of the punkiness of Green
Day's intentions", but complimented their "attack" as "precise" and wrote that the "huge" hooks "gleefully bludgeon
doubters into blissful submission."
In a mixed review, Ed Power of Hot Press observed "over-familiarity" and "less to say on Uno" than on the band's
previous work, stating, "they are doing what they do best. Nothing less, but certainly nothing more." Dave Simpson
of The Guardian called ¡Uno! "a very decent fist of sounding like their twentysomething selves", but wrote that "the
pace doesn't vary and the recent social commentary ... has given way to more teenage concerns". Slant Magazine's
Yorgo Douramacos called the album "fairly strong", but felt that the songs "sound like only slightly altered versions
of previous entries in the Green Day catalogue." In a negative review, Andy Gill of The Independent panned "Green
Day's devotion to the most basic of rock formats" and called the music "patronising corporate rock masquerading, in
sweary adolescent anthems as somehow anti-establishment." Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times asserted that
the album was too "typical" and "commercial" to be a punk album, writing that it "feels like the work of a band that
has painted itself into an aesthetic corner." Paul Mardles of The Observer criticized the album as "largely
throwaway, its frenzied, phlegm-flecked songs littered with sentiments ... that sound daft coming from a 40-year-old
frontman." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune was ambivalent towards its "back-to-basics" approach and perceived a
lack of "memorable lyric[s]". Barry Nicolson of NME found the album more comparable to "the three albums that
followed" Dookie, noting "highs that prove unsustainable, and lows that hope you're too adrenalised to notice."
Rolling Stone ranked it number eight on their year-end top albums list for 2012.

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 139,000 copies in its first week. As of 20
December 2012, Uno has shifted 256,000 copies in the US. In the United Kingdom, it also debuted at number two on
the UK Albums Chart on first-week sales of 42,651 copies. In Canada, the album debuted at number three on the
Canadian Albums Chart selling 12,000 copies.

Singles from ¡Dos!

1. "Stray Heart"
Released: October 15, 2012

¡Dos! is the tenth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. The album was released on November
9, 2012 in Australia, November 12 in the United Kingdom and on November 13 in the United States through Reprise
Records. It is the second installment in the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy. Following its predecessor's pop punk style,
¡Dos! was billed as Green Day's take on garage rock.
Upon its release, ¡Dos! received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its dynamic style and
catchy songs, although others found its music dull and observed filler on the album. It debuted at number nine on the
Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 69,000 copies in the United States.

Theme and composition


In an interview with Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, it was stated that ¡Dos! was going to have a "more garage
rock—a little dirtier, like you're in the middle of the party" feel to it, similar to their side band Foxboro Hot Tubs. In
a couple of interviews, Armstrong even went as far as calling ¡Dos! "the second Foxboro album." The track "Fuck
Time", originally performed as a Foxboro Hot Tubs song, was recorded for the album, as was the track "Stray
Heart".
Unlike the other two albums in the trilogy, this album features thirteen tracks instead of twelve. The thirteenth track
"Amy" is dedicated to the late Amy Winehouse. The song "Nightlife" features guest vocals from Lady Cobra of the
band Mystic Knights of the Cobra. The song is one of the slower and darker songs from the trilogy and has Lady
Cobra rapping in her respective parts of the track. The album also includes a track called "Lady Cobra", which is
inspired by her. A black-and-white cutout of her with a sailor hat is seen on the back cover with her showing eye
crossed out with a pink X.
¡Dos! 102

Release and promotion


A trailer for the album was released on June 21, 2012 on the band's YouTube channel, it included a preview of the
song "Fuck Time". A preview of the song "Lazy Bones" was featured in a special Green Day themed level pack of
Angry Birds Friends. Green Day also released previews of the songs "Stray Heart", "Makeout Party", "Wild One",
"Fuck Time", "Lady Cobra" and "Nightlife" during an interview on BBC Radio One. A very short preview of the
song "See You Tonight" was featured in one of their tour videos. On October 3, 2012, Green Day officially
announced the track list for the album on their website. The songs "Stop When the Red Lights Flash", "Amy" and
"Nightlife" were featured on the episode "Unspoken" of CSI: NY alongside "Kill the DJ" from ¡Uno! and from "The
Forgotten" from ¡Tré!, narrating the first dialogue-free 30 minutes of the episode. An official trailer was released on
October 15 and featured previews of "Stop When the Red Lights Flash", "Fuck Time", and "Stray Heart". "Stop
When the Red Lights Flash" is featured in the 2012 Electronic Arts racing game, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and
is included on the game's soundtrack album.
The album was officially released to listen by Green Day on the Rolling Stone website on November 6. Initial vinyl
copies of ¡Dos! feature "Drama Queen" (from ¡Tré!) instead of "Stray Heart" due to the fact that they were pressed
before the two tracks were swapped. A clean version of the track "Fuck Time" was released under the name "F-Woo
Time".

Artwork
The band uploaded a trailer for the album on their official channel on YouTube showing the band in the recording
studio as well as performing the song "Fuck Time" with their garage rock side band, Foxboro Hot Tubs. During the
trailer the cover artwork for the album was revealed. It features a black-and-white cutout of Mike Dirnt, with his
eyes crossed-out with pink X's, on a geometric, orange background. The words "Green Day" are loudly splashed in
blue across the top of the cover, while the word "¡Dos!" is sprawled graffiti-style in white in the lower left-hand
corner.

Singles
"Stray Heart" premiered on Idiot Club, Green Day's official fan club, on October 8, 2012 and premiered on Zane
Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on the same day. It was later confirmed to be released as the album's lead single on
October 15 in the UK, and October 23 in the US. On October 18, it was announced on Idiot Club that fans could go
to downtown LA to appear in the music video for Stray Heart on October 19. The video was released on November
7. The song reached number 10 on the Japan Billboard Japan Hot 100 in October.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, ¡Dos! received an
average score of 68, based on 24 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". Allmusic editor Stephen
Thomas Erlewine complimented its "high-octane" style and called it a "terrific little party record." Randall Roberts
of the Los Angeles Times commended Green Day for "allowing in a much wider range of sounds and styles", and
found the album "way more impressive than the rudimentary math of Uno!", calling it "an excellent Green Day
album — one of its best — a catchy, revealing work". Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone wrote that Green Day "harness[es]
the sound of immolating, teenage-wasteland lust for an album with a distinct sense of life coming off the rails". Scott
Heisel of the Alternative Press felt that, apart from "Fuck Time" and "Nightlife", the album is "so focused and
straightforward", and commented that despite some "rote" lyrics, Green Day "function[s] at their best with
hook-filled songs that are typically three minutes or less." Despite noting a few "outright missteps", AJ Ramirez of
PopMatters found the album generally "engaging" and dubbed it "the best Green Day studio album since American
Idiot—given the uneven nature of the LPs in between, that's praise that demands qualifiers." Kerrang! complimented
the album's "variety" and observed a "musical joie de vivre" throughout.
By contrast, Jason Heller of The A.V. Club perceived a lack of "joy" in the band's "garage-rock angle", writing that
they "feel like they're writing a paper on the genre rather than celebrating it in song." Phil Mongredien of The
Observer called the album "oddly leaden and largely witless", and criticized the band for "flailing ever further from
the pop nous that has underscored their finest moments". Barry Nicolson of NME found ¡Dos! "too cluttered with
filler to measure up against the best of the band's stuff." Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe wrote similarly, "only a
handful of its tracks are truly essential additions to the Green Day catalogue." Mark Roche of State felt that it "has as
many disappointing tracks as it does impressive ones" and observed from Green Day "the attempt to forge modern
expectations with old school sensibility, even if it doesn't always work." Sputnikmusic's Joseph Viney felt that
"Armstrong’s lyrics are the biggest hindrance" and called the songs musically "limp". Jon Young of Spin felt that
Armstrong "might want to abandon" his "juvenile posturing ... even the most seductive rascals lose their boyish
allure eventually."

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 69,000 copies in the United States.

was released on December 7, 2012 in Australia, December 10 in the UK and December 11 in the US, through
Reprise Records, and was produced by their long-time producer Rob Cavallo.

Recording and release


On April 11, 2012, Green Day announced that they would be releasing a trilogy of albums titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and
¡Tré! and stated that they would be released on September 25, 2012, November 13, 2012, and January 15, 2013,
respectively, through Reprise Records. On August 22, Armstrong gave preview of some songs through his iPhone on
Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. The preview included a brief snippet of "8th Ave Serenade". The
track listing for ¡Tré! was revealed at the beginning of their video for the promotional single "Nuclear Family" from
¡Uno!. It was later released officially on the "Idiot Club" and was later posted on their website. The song "99
Revolutions" previously appeared in the film The Campaign. "99 Revolutions" also appeared in a trailer released by
Green Day on their YouTube channel on June 21, 2012. On October 29, it was announced that the album's release
will be pushed forward to December 11, 2012, due to Green Day having to cancel their upcoming 2012 section of
their 2012/2013 tour and delay much of the 2013 leg. On November 1, Green Day released "Behind The Scenes of
¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! - Part 1" which featured the preview of the song "X-Kid". The release date of the ¡Tré! LPs
were pushed back to February 12, 2013, presumably to correct the erroneous inclusion of "Stray Heart" on initial
pressings of the album, replacing the track with "Drama Queen", as present on CD and digital releases of the album.
Previews of "Missing You" and "Dirty Rotten Bastards" were featured on Green Day's ¡Cuatro! documentary.

Singles
The band released a video of a cassette tape playing for the song "X-Kid" and later confirmed it as the first single
released on February 12, 2013.

Music and composition


Billie Joe Armstrong had said the following about the trilogy: Each of the three albums has a totally different vibe.
"The first one is power pop. The second is more garage-y, Nuggets-type rock. And the third is supposed to be epic.
With the first album you're getting in the mood to party. On the second one, you're at the party. And the third album
you're cleaning up the mess." ¡Tré! will be geared more towards stadium rock and will have more of a grandiose
sound complete with string arrangements and brass sections. He also went on to say that the mood of ¡Tré! will be
"reflective" and explained the album would be a "mixed bag" with the sound fluctuating from the punk rock feel of
Dookie and Insomniac, the experimental elements of Nimrod and Warning and finishing with the stadium rock/rock
opera sound taken from American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. While musically, Rob Cavallo said that "They
wanted to return to the simplicity of Dookie." "We also wanted to go pre-Dookie, back to our love of Fifties and
Sixties music, close-to-the-bone rock and roll. You don't hear a gazillion parts. The majority of this is drums, bass,
two guitars and vocals." Frontman Billie Joe also stated that ¡Tre! would be the most ambitious album of the trilogy.
He has also stated the following of the album's opening track: "Brutal Love", which marries glam rock, doo-wop and
soul music, includes swelling strings at its conclusion." "Dirty Rotten Bastards" is Green Day “going all over the
place”, according to Billie Joe. “It’s an arena song then a sing-along and it takes off. We wanted to make something
similar to "Jesus of Suburbia" (off American Idiot) or a b-side off The Beatles’ Abbey Road.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, ¡Tré! received an
average score of 64, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 18 reviews. Ray Rahman of
Entertainment Weekly wrote that the album "lets their tightly wound hooks decompress, delivering stadium-worthy
three-chord nods to various ghosts of rock past". Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine felt that the album is
"hookier and not as ponderous as ¡Uno! but not quite as breakneck as ¡Dos!", writing that it "feels like ... a collection
of songs capturing the band at its loosest and poppiest, throwing away tunes without much care." Kerrang! cited it as
"the best of the bunch". Although he found it to be "littered with head-scratching filler and awkward sonic
diversions", Ryan Reed of Paste called ¡Tré! "more raw, pointed and hard-hitting than anything they've released in
years".
Michael Hann of The Guardian felt that "it's got some pretty good songs – but they never get better than pretty
good." Alternative Press commented that the album "feels scattershot and slapped together, making it difficult to
enjoy on its own merits." Jason Heller of The A.V. Club observed a lack of "inspiration" and wrote that the album
"succeeds most as an exercise in influence-dropping and self-recycling". Barry Nicolson of NME viewed its songs as
formulaic and found "little to distinguish them" from songs in the trilogy's first two albums. AJ Ramirez of
PopMatters criticized its instrumentation as "functional and characterless", while critiquing the trilogy in general,
"The wide spread afforded by the ¡Uno!/¡Dos!/¡Tré! trilogy does not suit a band whose aptitudes include simplicity,
energy, and irreverence."

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number 13 on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 58,000 copies in the United

The discography of Green Day, an American punk rock band, consists of eleven studio albums, three live albums,
five compilation albums, one soundtrack album, three video albums, twelve extended plays, three box sets, forty
singles, ten promotional singles and thirty-eight music videos. The band has sold over 75 million albums worldwide,
including more than 25 million in the United States alone. Green Day released their first two studio albums,
39/Smooth (1990) and Kerplunk (1992), through the independent label Lookout! Records before signing to major
label Reprise Records. Dookie, the band's first album on the label and third studio album overall, was released in
February 1994. It was a breakout success, selling over 10 million copies in the United States and 16 million copies
worldwide. Dookie spawned five singles, including the international hits "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around".
The album placed Green Day at the forefront of the 1990s punk rock revival. Insomniac, the band's fourth studio
album, was released in October 1995. While not as successful as Dookie, the album managed to peak at number two
on the US Billboard 200 and received a double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of
America (RIAA). Nimrod followed in October 1997; it peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200. Four singles were
released from Nimrod; the most successful of these was "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which hit the top ten
in countries such as Australia and Canada.
The band's sixth studio album Warning was released in October 2000 to mild commercial success, peaking at
number four on the Billboard 200 and only earning a gold certification from the RIAA. Their seventh studio album
American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation. Becoming the band's first album to top the
Billboard 200, American Idiot sold over six million copies in the United States and over 14 million copies
worldwide. The album spawned five commercially successful singles: "American Idiot", "Boulevard of Broken
Foot in Mouth 113

Dreams", "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Jesus of Suburbia". The band's eighth studio
album 21st Century Breakdown followed in May 2009, topping the Billboard 200 and being certified platinum by
the RIAA. Two singles from the album—"Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns"—became top 40 hits on the US
Billboard Hot 100. A trilogy of studio albums—¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! — were released toward the end of 2012.
¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! peaked at numbers two, nine and thirteen respectively on the Billboard 200.

The discography of Green Day, an American punk rock band, consists of eleven studio albums, three live albums,
five compilation albums, one soundtrack album, three video albums, twelve extended plays, three box sets, forty
singles, ten promotional singles and thirty-eight music videos. The band has sold over 75 million albums worldwide,
including more than 25 million in the United States alone. Green Day released their first two studio albums,
39/Smooth (1990) and Kerplunk (1992), through the independent label Lookout! Records before signing to major
label Reprise Records. Dookie, the band's first album on the label and third studio album overall, was released in
February 1994. It was a breakout success, selling over 10 million copies in the United States and 16 million copies
worldwide. Dookie spawned five singles, including the international hits "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around".
The album placed Green Day at the forefront of the 1990s punk rock revival. Insomniac, the band's fourth studio
album, was released in October 1995. While not as successful as Dookie, the album managed to peak at number two
on the US Billboard 200 and received a double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of
America (RIAA). Nimrod followed in October 1997; it peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200. Four singles were
released from Nimrod; the most successful of these was "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which hit the top ten
in countries such as Australia and Canada.
The band's sixth studio album Warning was released in October 2000 to mild commercial success, peaking at
number four on the Billboard 200 and only earning a gold certification from the RIAA. Their seventh studio album
American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation. Becoming the band's first album to top the
Billboard 200, American Idiot sold over six million copies in the United States and over 14 million copies
worldwide. The album spawned five commercially successful singles: "American Idiot", "Boulevard of Broken
Dreams", "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Jesus of Suburbia". The band's eighth studio
album 21st Century Breakdown followed in May 2009, topping the Billboard 200 and being certified platinum by
the RIAA. Two singles from the album—"Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns"—became top 40 hits on the US
Billboard Hot 100. A trilogy of studio albums—¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! — were released toward the end of 2012.
¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! peaked at numbers two, nine and thirteen respectively on the Billboard 200.

PopMatters 6/10

Rolling Stone

AbsolutePunk (CD)

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic remarked that Awesome as Fuck "satisfies without surprising [...] The set list
is a good mix that leans heavily on Green Day’s new millennium standards and the bandmembers never sound tired
playing: they hit their marks with enthusiasm, which is enough to make Awesome as F**k fun, if not quite a live
album for the ages." David Fricke of Rolling Stone commented "This set is a contagious account of the power-fun
streak that still runs through the band even after the two punk operas [...] Billie Joe Armstrong thoroughly enjoys his
spotlight: shouting, cursing and letting audiences take whole verses of 'American Idiot' and 'Good Riddance.' And
drummer Tré Cool is way up in the mix, channeling the Clash's Topper Headon and the Who's Keith Moon with
precise demonic glee."
Chris Conaton of PopMatters said that the album "has a bit of the odor of a record-company stopgap about it", noting
the five-year gap between the band's last two studio albums, American Idiot (2004) and 21st Century Breakdown
(2009), that was filled by the live album and DVD Bullet in a Bible (2005). He noted that the band was "at least
Awesome as Fuck 143

trying to do something different" with this second live album: Bullet in a Bible's album and video documented a
single two-night stand in England, while Awesome as Fuck's album draws from sixteen different concerts around the
world and the video is taken from a single show. He also remarked that the album's tracklist contains "treats for
longtime fans" in the form of "some of the band's lesser singles and even some deep album tracks"—including the
previously unreleased "Cigarettes and Valentines" and the older tracks "Burnout", "Going to Pasalacqua", "J.A.R.",
and "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?"—saying "It’s this quintet of songs that really sets Awesome as F**k apart and
gives it a kick as a live set." He criticized the fact that hearing the songs played live was not that different from
hearing the studio recordings, calling them "generally the same beyond Armstrong telling the crowd to sing this part
or that" and remarking that Green Day's arena show is "a wonderful experience in person, but it understandably loses
something in the translation to CD and DVD."

The discography of Green Day, an American punk rock band, consists of eleven studio albums, three live albums,
five compilation albums, one soundtrack album, three video albums, twelve extended plays, three box sets, forty
singles, ten promotional singles and thirty-eight music videos. The band has sold over 75 million albums worldwide,
including more than 25 million in the United States alone. Green Day released their first two studio albums,
39/Smooth (1990) and Kerplunk (1992), through the independent label Lookout! Records before signing to major
label Reprise Records. Dookie, the band's first album on the label and third studio album overall, was released in
February 1994. It was a breakout success, selling over 10 million copies in the United States and 16 million copies
worldwide. Dookie spawned five singles, including the international hits "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around".
The album placed Green Day at the forefront of the 1990s punk rock revival. Insomniac, the band's fourth studio
album, was released in October 1995. While not as successful as Dookie, the album managed to peak at number two
on the US Billboard 200 and received a double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of
America (RIAA). Nimrod followed in October 1997; it peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200. Four singles were
released from Nimrod; the most successful of these was "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which hit the top ten
in countries such as Australia and Canada.
The band's sixth studio album Warning was released in October 2000 to mild commercial success, peaking at
number four on the Billboard 200 and only earning a gold certification from the RIAA. Their seventh studio album
American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation. Becoming the band's first album to top the
Billboard 200, American Idiot sold over six million copies in the United States and over 14 million copies
worldwide. The album spawned five commercially successful singles: "American Idiot", "Boulevard of Broken
Dreams", "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Jesus of Suburbia". The band's eighth studio
album 21st Century Breakdown followed in May 2009, topping the Billboard 200 and being certified platinum by
the RIAA. Two singles from the album—"Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns"—became top 40 hits on the US
Billboard Hot 100. A trilogy of studio albums—¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! — were released toward the end of 2012.
¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! peaked at numbers two, nine and thirteen respectively on the Billboard 200.

Released: 2001

International Superhits! is a greatest hits album by the American punk rock band Green Day, released November
13, 2001 through Reprise Records. It collects all of the band's singles released between 1994 and 2000, as well as a
re-recording of "Maria," a b-side from Waiting, and a previously unreleased track, "Poprocks & Coke". A DVD
titled International Supervideos! was released simultaneously, collecting fifteen of the band's music videos
spanning the same period. Both releases have been certified Platinum in the United States for sales of over 1 million
copies.

Reception
Upon its release, International Superhits! charted in ten countries. The album peaked at no. 40 on the Billboard 200
in the United States, and was a success in several other countries, peaking as high as no. 4 in Japan; the lowest peak
in any country was in Germany at no. 67. It was certified Gold in Canada eight days after its release, for sales of over
50,000 units. It achieved Gold certification in the United States in January 2002 for sales of over 500,000, and went
on to be certified Platinum in 2005 for sales of over 1 million. Also in 2005 it reached no. 1 on Billboard's Catalog
Albums chart. It has also been certified Platinum in the United Kingdom for sales of over 300,000, and Triple
Platinum in Australia for sales of over 210,000, bringing its worldwide sales to over 1,560,000.

Slant Magazine

Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album a perfect five-star review, saying it "confirms that [Green Day] not
only were popular and good, but they could have held their own against their idols" and that "distilled to their
singles, Green Day sound fiercer than ever, and more musically vibrant". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine rated it
four stars out of five, remarking that "Time-tested hits like 'Basket Case', 'Brain Stew', and 'Hitchin' a Ride', along
with soundtrack contributions 'J.A.R.' and 'Nice Guys Finish Last', heartily display Green Day's remarkable
longevity. The album's new offering, 'Poprocks & Coke', dishes out more of the maturated, acoustic-filled folk-punk
that began with 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)' and Warning ... The collection's only flaw is the omission of
tracks representing the band's pre-fame days."

All lyrics written by Billie Joe Armstrong, except where noted, all music composed by Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and

Shenanigans is the third compilation album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released on July 2,
2002 through Reprise Records. The album contains b-sides, rarities, covers, and a previously unreleased track, "Ha
Ha You're Dead". "Espionage", the spy-themed instrumental was featured on the soundtrack for Austin Powers: The
Spy Who Shagged Me.
Shenanigans peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its release and has sold 280,000 units as of
September 2010. Even though the original cover does not feature a title, several retailers fixed confusion over it by
designing a sticker which was plastered on the front. In a September 2009 interview by Fuse on Demand, when
asked who designed the cover for the group's eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown (2009), Billie Joe
Armstrong said that Chris Bilheimer designed it as well as the last four album covers. In 2002, Green Day embarked
on the Pop Disaster Tour in support of the album; however, no songs from the album were played during any of the
performances.
Shenanigans was issued on vinyl for the first time in the United States on September 15, 2009.

1,000 Hours is the debut EP by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released in April 1989 through
Lookout! Records, the label that nurtured the band's development in their early years before their signing with a
major label in 1993.

Recording and release


1,000 Hours was recorded in 1988 while the band was still named "Sweet Children", and released in April 1989 on
vinyl only, with several different colors of vinyl available [red, blue, green, purple, yellow, and clear] in limited
quantities. Upon its release, it was also available with a pink cover [black vinyl only]. Shortly after it was recorded,
the band changed their name to Green Day, despite the objections of Lookout Records' owner Lawrence "Larry"
Livermore.
In 1991, all of the songs from 1,000 Hours were reissued on 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. 1,000 Hours
remained in print on the Lookout! label until August, 2005 when Green Day removed their catalog from Lookout!
Records.
Since March 24, 2009, 1,000 Hours (along with Slappy) has been back in print as a bonus to the vinyl reissue of the
39/Smooth album.

Slappy is the second extended play by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released in the Summer of
1990 through Lookout! Records. Upon its release, several different colors of vinyl were available in limited
quantities. Billie Joe Armstrong cited the extended play as the one on which Green Day began to find its sound.

Liner notes
Recorded in a few hours on April 20, 1990 at Art of Ears Studio with Andro Engineering and mixed April 23 in a
few more hours. Produced by Andro and Green Day. Mastered by John Golden at K-Disc, Hollywood. Front cover
photo by Al Sobrante, back Sean Hughes Layout and "Green Day Bitz" by Aaron Cometbus. Green Day's 39/Smooth
L.P. and 1,000 Hours E.P. are also available on Lookout.

Album information
"Paper Lanterns" was a popular Green Day song and a live staple for many years and was brought back for the 2010
leg of the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour. "Why Do You Want Him?" was the first song Armstrong wrote,
back when he was fourteen. He expressed in a 2010 interview that contrary to the common belief, the song is not
about his stepfather. The title "409 in Your Coffeemaker" is taken from a prank Armstrong pulled on his teacher. It
was later re-recorded during the Dookie sessions. Although it was omitted from the album, it was released on the
"Basket Case" CD single in the United Kingdom. "Knowledge" was originally performed by Operation Ivy. Green
Day still performs the song live, often inviting fans onstage to play the band members' instruments for them during
the performance of the song.
Slappy 171

All four tracks from Slappy were included on the compilation album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours in 1991.
Slappy remained in print until August 2005, when Green Day removed its catalog from Lookout! Records.
Since March 24, 2009, Slappy (along with 1,000 Hours) has been back in print as a bonus to the vinyl reissue of the
39/Smooth album. However, a possible error may have been made as Slappy's artwork is now tinted pink instead of
dark red.

Notes
• The dog on the cover of Slappy was known as Mickey. "Slappy" was a nickname given to him by Mike Dirnt's
friend Jason Relva.
• "Why Do You Want Him?" was reportedly written by Armstrong when he was 14 years old and was the first song
he wrote.[][]
• "409 in Your Coffeemaker" was re-recorded for the group's third studio album Dookie in 1994. However, the
band declined having it put on the record. The Dookie recording of the song can still be found in "unmixed" form
on the U.K. "Basket Case" single. Armstrong has also stated that "409 in Your Coffeemaker" is his favorite song
off of Slappy.

Sweet Children is the third EP by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released in the August 1990
through Skene! Records. The name of the EP is the same as the original name of Green Day.

History
The EP is a collection of some of the band's earliest songs that they were still playing live at the time. It was
recorded in 2 hours on July 5, 1990 at 6ft Under in Minneapolis, Minnesota while the band were on a brief break
from their summer tour,[2] and released on seven-inch vinyl. Due to a typo on Green Day's website, many believe
that this record was released in 1987, but this is not true. The EP was released on Minneapolis-based indie label
Skene! Records. These were the last recordings drummer John Kiffmeyer would contribute to the band. Shortly after
the end of the tour, he left the band to attend college.
Also of note, "My Generation" features a line from the film Blue Velvet: "Heineken? Fuck that shit!", said by the
primary antagonist Frank Booth (although it's not the actual audio sample).
Sweet Children 173

Pressings
There are five different pressings of the EP (some limited quantities included two different variations of red vinyl).
The first four have been out of print since its inclusion on the CD issue of Green Day's second album Kerplunk in
1992. Because of this, it has since become a valuable and sought-after item among collectors and Green Day fans
alike.
The first pressing's cover is a picture of Mike Dirnt's leg during a concert.
The second pressing's cover is a black and white picture of a somewhat trashed Volkswagen Beetle with the caption
"What Do You Think Mike..." This rare second pressing, limited to 600 copies as opposed to the first run's
respectable 1,500, also featured a handwritten insert, reading "Not a lyrics sheet, so don't get your hopes up".
The third pressing is the same as the one above in every way except there is no insert, and the cover, instead of being
black and white, is tinted red.
The fourth pressing is obviously a reissue from possibly 1991, for it features a mostly blank cover with a picture of
the band, and a rather long summary on the back of the sleeve, which explains how these songs are also on Kerplunk,
so this must be a reissue of the EP.
On March 24, 2009, the EP was back in print as it was included with the vinyl reissue of Kerplunk. It is a reissue of
the first pressing.
In 1990, on the first day of the EP's release, it sold 493 copies [citation needed].

Release date
One of the most mysterious aspects of this odd EP is its release date. Although the inlay on some says it was from
1990, this information may be faulty, like other early Green Day inlays. Another reason why the release date could
be 1990 is that the first album was made by Green Day, not Sweet Children; a name they were thought to have
dropped before the release of 1,000 Hours in 1989. For a while, the official Green Day website claimed it was
released in 1987 (the current Green Day website no longer covers EPs). Also, a 1989 performance of "My
Generation" is different from the album version, and a later 1992 performance matches the album. Finally, Allmusic
claims it was released in 1988 originally when the band was called Sweet Children, however, there are no facts to
support this.

PopMatters 6/10

Rolling Stone

AbsolutePunk (CD)

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic remarked that Awesome as Fuck "satisfies without surprising [...] The set list
is a good mix that leans heavily on Green Day’s new millennium standards and the bandmembers never sound tired
playing: they hit their marks with enthusiasm, which is enough to make Awesome as F**k fun, if not quite a live
album for the ages." David Fricke of Rolling Stone commented "This set is a contagious account of the power-fun
streak that still runs through the band even after the two punk operas [...] Billie Joe Armstrong thoroughly enjoys his
spotlight: shouting, cursing and letting audiences take whole verses of 'American Idiot' and 'Good Riddance.' And
drummer Tré Cool is way up in the mix, channeling the Clash's Topper Headon and the Who's Keith Moon with
Awesome as Fuck 179

precise demonic glee."


Chris Conaton of PopMatters said that the album "has a bit of the odor of a record-company stopgap about it", noting
the five-year gap between the band's last two studio albums, American Idiot (2004) and 21st Century Breakdown
(2009), that was filled by the live album and DVD Bullet in a Bible (2005). He noted that the band was "at least
trying to do something different" with this second live album: Bullet in a Bible's album and video documented a
single two-night stand in England, while Awesome as Fuck's album draws from sixteen different concerts around the
world and the video is taken from a single show. He also remarked that the album's tracklist contains "treats for
longtime fans" in the form of "some of the band's lesser singles and even some deep album tracks"—including the
previously unreleased "Cigarettes and Valentines" and the older tracks "Burnout", "Going to Pasalacqua", "J.A.R.",
and "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?"—saying "It’s this quintet of songs that really sets Awesome as F**k apart and
gives it a kick as a live set." He criticized the fact that hearing the songs played live was not that different from
hearing the studio recordings, calling them "generally the same beyond Armstrong telling the crowd to sing this part
or that" and remarking that Green Day's arena show is "a wonderful experience in person, but it understandably loses
something in the translation to CD and DVD."

"Longview" on YouTube

"Longview" is the debut single by the American punk rock band Green Day. It is the fourth track on the band's third
album, Dookie and was released as the lead single. The song was the band's first single to top the Modern Rock chart
in the U.S. The music video for this song received heavy airplay on MTV and is largely credited for breaking Green
Day into mainstream popularity.
The song describes intense boredom. Lyrically, the song is about a day spent sitting around the house, doing
absolutely nothing of importance, masturbating, and smoking marijuana until the days are no longer fun. The song
captured the attention of many youth at the time with its overt allusions to masturbation. Bassist Mike Dirnt has
stated that the famous bass line intro to this song was written one night while he was high on LSD, and what remains
on the album is what he and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong could recall in the morning. At most shows in the 21st
Century Breakdown World Tour, Billie Joe picked a random audience member to sing the song onstage.
The song is named after the city of Longview, Washington, where it was first performed in 1992. The band had
already written the song prior to arriving in the city.
"Longview" 185

In 1995, Green Day received four Grammy Award nominations, including Best Hard Rock Performance for
"Longview". The band won Best Alternative Music Performance for Dookie. Rolling Stone ranked it #3 on the list of
Best Singles of 1994.
The song can also be found on their 2001 greatest hits collection International Superhits!, and a live performance
can be found on the Bullet in a Bible CD/DVD.

Concept
"It's about boredom, and smoking dope." – Billie Joe Armstrong[2]
"I guess it was just living in the suburbs in a sort of shit town where you can't even pull in a good radio
station. I was living in Rodeo, California, about 20 minutes outside of Oakland. There was nothing to do
there, and it was a real boring place." – Billie Joe Armstrong in an interview in Guitar Legends
magazine, May 2005.
"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, "Billie, 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 in Rolling Stone magazine, 1995.

Song meaning and composition


The song was written by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool. It is based on the band's experience moving
out of their parents' houses and into an abandoned house in Oakland, California where the band members, along with
a number of others, lived without paying rent. The house was quite broken-down but to them it became home, and
this sentiment is described in the song.
Billie Joe Armstrong said this of the song:


It's about West Oakland, living in a warehouse with a lot of people, a bunch of artists and musicians, punks and whatever just lived all up and
down, bums and junkies and thugs and gang members and stuff that just lived in that area. It's no place you want to walk around at night, but
it's a neat warehouse where you can play basketball and stuff. ”
The song is played with the guitar tuned a half-step down, as are many of their Dookie songs.
"Welcome to Paradise" 188

The song is sung as Billie Joe Armstrong is talking or sending a message to his mother, after moving out of her
house. The first verse is Armstrong talking to his mother after three weeks of leaving her place, telling her that he's
scared about being on his own. The second part describes Armstrong writing to her after six months of living at his
own place, now being happy to live on his own.

Music video
A video was released for the song. It features the band playing live, while the studio version from the Dookie album
is playing during the band's performance. It is one of two videos not to be included on the band's first DVD,
International Supervideos! (The other being "Macy's Day Parade").

In popular culture
"Welcome to Paradise" was featured in the movie Surf's Up, though was not released on the film's soundtrack. The
song was also featured in the trailer for Couples Retreat.

Green Day – "Basket Case"

Alternative cover

UK edition cover

"Basket Case" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It is the seventh track and third single from their
third album, Dookie (1994). The song spent five weeks at the top of the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Origin and recording


Green Day vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong said "Basket Case" is about his struggle with anxiety; before he
was diagnosed with a panic disorder years afterward, he thought he was going crazy. Armstrong commented that at
the time, "The only way I could know what the hell was going on was to write a song about it."[1]
"Basket Case" was one of the songs producer Rob Cavallo heard when he received Green Day's demo tape. He ended
up signing the band to Reprise Records in mid-1993.[2] Green Day and Cavallo recorded the version of "Basket
Case" released on the trio's major label debut Dookie between September and October 1993 at Fantasy Studios in
Berkeley, California.[3]
"Basket Case" 190

Composition
"Basket Case", like the other songs on Dookie, was performed on instruments tuned down to the pitch of E-flat. The
introductory verse features only Armstrong and his guitar. During the middle of the first chorus the rest of the band
joins in, with Tré Cool adding fast tom fills and explosive transitions and Mike Dirnt adding a bass line that is
reminiscent of the vocal melody.

Release and reception


"Basket Case" was the third single released from Dookie, following "Longview" and "Welcome to Paradise".
"Basket Case" peaked at number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, a position it maintained for five
weeks. In 1995, "Basket Case" garnered a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Rock Vocal Performance by a
Duo or Group category.[4]
In 2006, on Mike Davies and Zane Lowe's Lock Up Special on BBC Radio 1, the listeners voted "Basket Case" the
Greatest Punk Song of All Time. In 2009, it was named the 33rd best hard rock song of all time by VH1.

Music video
The "Basket Case" video was directed by Mark Kohr.[5] The video was filmed in an actual mental institution called
Agnews Developmental Center in Santa Clara County, California, at the request of the band members. The mental
institution had been abandoned, but most of the structure remained in a broken-down state. The band members found
old patient files, deep scratches in the walls and dental molds scattered around. The video frequently references the
film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The music video was originally filmed in black and white and the color was
added in later, contributing to the surreal effect of the video.
The video was nominated for nine MTV Video Music Awards in 1995: Video of the Year, Best Group Video, Best
Metal/Hard Rock Video, Best Alternative Video, Breakthrough Video, Best Direction, Best Editing, Best
Cinematography, and Viewer's Choice Award. The video did not win in any of the categories it was nominated for.[6]

(1995)

"She" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It is the eighth track on their third album, Dookie and
was released as the fifth and final single. The song was written by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong about a former
girlfriend who showed him a feminist poem with an identical title. In return, Armstrong wrote the lyrics of "She" and
showed them to her. She later dumped him and moved to Ecuador, prompting Armstrong to put "She" on the album.
The same ex-girlfriend is the topic of the songs "Sassafras Roots", "Chump", and "Good Riddance (Time of Your
Life)". It is one of the few Green Day singles that did not have a music video.

Reception
PopMatters listed "She" as the eighth best Green Day song, citing ""She" is sensitive without being soft; in between
Armstrong's empathetic declarations of "Scream at me / Until my ears bleed / I’ll take [sic] heed / Just for you", the
band is hammering away at its instruments with amped-up intensity."

"Geek Stink Breath" on YouTube

"Geek Stink Breath" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the first single from their
fourth album, Insomniac. The lyrics tell of the effects of methamphetamine on the human body. (The word "geek" is
slang for "methamphetamine".)

History, lyrics, and composition


"Geek Stink Breath" debuted live on December 3, 1994 during Green Day's first performance on Saturday Night
Live. The word "shit" in the line "Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets filled first" was left
uncensored since they could not understand the lyrics to the new song (closed caption typed it as "unintelligible
lyrics"). The song was later recorded and released on the band's fourth studio album Insomniac (1995), and as the
album's lead-off single.
The lyrics tell of the singer leading a "path of self-destruction" through the use of methamphetamine, and the effects
of this drug on his body. The lyrics were inspired by Armstrong's own experiences, as well as the people around him
that he saw lose control of their lives because of their addictions. Featuring a hard rocking three chord riff, the song
pays homage to the band's 1970s punk influences, including the Ramones and the Sex Pistols. The song ended up
being a moderate radio hit.
A live version of the song recorded on the band's 21st Century Breakdown World Tour in Saitama-Shi, Japan was
included on the band's 2011 live album Awesome as Fuck and its accompanying bonus DVD.

Music video
The video shows the band playing the song in a basement, as well as graphic footage of one of the band's friends
having a tooth pulled, which was intended to only be shown during late night hours on MTV. This footage is
relevant to the song, as it features the lyrics: "and it's rotting out my teeth". (Oral problems are associated with meth
use, but are actually related to poor hygiene, exacerbated by dry mouth, both of which are associated with illicit use
of some drugs, rather than being directly related to the effect of smoking or otherwise ingesting methamphetamine.)
The video was directed by Mark Kohr. An edited version of the music video is shown internationally.

"Stuck with Me" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the second single from their

"Brain Stew" / "Jaded" are two songs by the American punk rock band Green Day. They were released as the third
single from the group's fourth studio album, Insomniac. The two songs were released as one single, as the songs are
transitional - "Brain Stew" segues directly into "Jaded". "Brain Stew" is the tenth track on the album and "Jaded" is
the eleventh track on Insomniac as well as the 2001 compilation album International Superhits!. The main guitar riff
of "Brain Stew" bears a striking resemblance to the beginning of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4". After 9/11 "Brain Stew"
was placed on the list of post-9/11 inappropriate titles.

Music video
The music video for "Brain Stew/Jaded" consists of two parts: The "Brain Stew" portion of the video is sepia toned

color and fast shots of the band playing the song. The video was directed by Kevin Kerslake.[1][2]

Reception
PopMatters listed "Hitchin' a Ride" as the sixth best Green Day song, citing "Suiting its falling-off-the-wagon subject
matter, "Hitchin’ a Ride" is a hellish yet exhilarating track that makes picking up a bottle look like probably not
wisest idea one could have."

Music video
The music video for "Hitchin' a Ride" was directed by Mark Kohr, the director that Green Day had favored
throughout the Dookie and Insomniac singles. The music video shows the band performing in a Jazz
Age-reminiscent scenery amongst strange characters in costumes. Billie Joe plays his Fernandes Stratocaster 'Blue',
Mike Dirnt uses a Fender Precision Bass and Tré Cool has a snare drum with a cymbal attached slung over his
shoulders and a bass drum hung over his back. At the beginning of the song, the group is shown walking off a
moving sidewalk on a stylized metropolitan street while still playing, switching to a stage setup in a jazz club after
the chorus. During the bridge, a giant mosquito escapes from a box causing people to panic, while Billie Joe is
shown destroying the stage using the mic stand and fighting with a waiter. In the outro, the band must run away from
the club and returns onto the crowded street.
"Hitchin' a Ride" can also be found on International Superhits! and Bullet in a Bible. The music video is included on
International Supervideos!.

"Hitchin' a "Good Riddance (Time of Your "Redundant"


Ride" Life)" (1998)
(1997) (1997)

"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" is a song by the American rock band Green Day. Although written by lead
singer Billie Joe Armstrong before the release of the band's third album Dookie (1994), the song was not released
until Green Day's fifth album, Nimrod (1997), and was the second single released from that album. An alternative
version (in a different key, with a faster tempo and sparer arrangement) did appear as a b-side to the 1995 German
import single for "Brain Stew/Jaded".[1] As of January 2012, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" has sold
2,072,000 copies.[2]

Writing and composition


Billie Joe Armstrong wrote "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" in 1990 and did not show the song to his
bandmates until the Dookie recording sessions in 1993. During the sessions, the song was determined to be too
different from the rest of the songs on Dookie, and producer Rob Cavallo was unsure of how to structure the
recording. When the time came to record Nimrod, Armstrong decided to use the song, and Cavallo suggested they
add strings to the track. He sent the band to play foosball in another room while he recorded the strings, which took
"like fifteen, twenty minutes, maybe a half an hour at the most." Cavallo reflected on his decision to add the strings
"I knew we had done the right thing. I knew it was a hit the second I heard it."
In comparison to previous Green Day material, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" features more mellow,
contemplative lyrics with acoustic music. Band member Mike Dirnt went on to state that the release of this song was
probably the "most punk" thing they could have done.[3] The song is more commonly promoted on the radio as
"Time of Your Life", and it became a Billboard Country Rock chart-topper and an international hit, and was the only
song from Nimrod that was a crossover success when released in single form.[4]
"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" 213

Music video
The music video was directed by Mark Kohr, and features Billie Joe Armstrong singing and playing an acoustic
guitar in a bedroom, intercut with "pull-in" shots of various people involved in mundane activities. All of the
subjects are shown seemingly staring into space absent-mindedly. Band members Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool make
cameo appearances in the video as a person pumping gas (Dirnt), and an injured bike rider being attended by
paramedics (Cool). When the video came out, the name of the song was inverted, hence the video's title is "Time of
Your Life (Good Riddance)", this name was also used on the single cover.
In 1998 Green Day won their first MTV Video Music Award for Best Alternative Video for "Good Riddance (Time
of Your Life)" and they were also nominated for Viewer's Choice.[5]
The video can be found on their music video compilation DVD, International Supervideos!.

Legacy
To the band's surprise, the song became a hit at prom dances. Armstrong had not meant it to be a romantic song, and
was surprised that it was used so.[citation needed]

(1997) (1999)

"Redundant" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single from their fifth
album, Nimrod. The song failed to match the impressive chart positions of its predecessors, despite an ambitious
music video.
It is one of few Green Day songs in which vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong uses an effects pedal.

Meaning
Before the Nimrod sessions, Billie Joe Armstrong's marriage had been deteriorating, with the singer arguing with his
wife Adrienne Armstrong constantly. Influenced by this conflict, Armstrong reflected on the relationship from two
standpoints; the first being his passion for his wife, the second being the repetitious pattern that the relationship had
fallen into. The phrase "I love you" had lost its effectiveness and seemed to be said merely out of routine.

Music video
The music video for "Redundant", directed by Mark Kohr,[2] is an homage to Zbigniew Rybczyński's short film
Tango. It features the three band members performing the song in the middle of a home. The camera angle remains
static for the whole duration of the video.
In the background, several people repeat various mundane tasks for the duration of the video:
• A newspaper is thrown from offscreen.
• A woman stretches her arms and yawns, and then collects the paper and leaves.
• Someone takes a painting off of a wall and replaces it with a new one; then someone else comes in and replaces
that painting with the one that's just been replaced.
• An old lady walks in and tries to find her way out.
"Redundant" 218

• A young girl walks from the left side of the screen, places a box on the coffee table next to the couch, and then
climbs out of a window.
• A man in a green suit jacket walks around, picks up the box from the coffee table and leaves.
• A man in a cowboy hat walks around.
• A woman in a bright red dress (Dita Von Teese) removes her dress and then walks away in nothing but her bra
and underwear.
• A balding man comes in, puts on a pair of trousers, then leaves.
• An obese man walks in from behind bringing a plant and putting it on a table by the wall.
• A woman with a large pot picks up the plant and walks around.
• A man and a girl walk towards a couch and begin making out.
• A man is vacuuming.
• A young girl in a skirt comes in through a window, looks around, and leaves.
The activity peaks near the middle of the video and declines near the end. Tré and Mike leave, but Billie Joe takes
the newspaper before the woman can reach it, causing her to scream, and in some aspect, breaking the "routine".

"Nice Guys Finish Last" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the fourth and final
single from their fifth album, Nimrod. The use of the song in the movie Varsity Blues helped propel it to hit status
and earned it a nomination for an MTV Movie Award for best song from a movie in 1999.[1]

Reception
PopMatters listed "Nice Guys Finish Last" as the tenth best Green Day song, commenting "Blessed with a driving
insistency and an acerbic, infectious chorus, "Nice Guys Finish Last" should've been way bigger than it actually
was."

Music video
The music video features the band as a mock football team (parodying the Green Bay Packers with Green Day). The
stage set up for them is portrayed as analogous to a football playing field, and in the video, a number of concert
scenes are shown in ways that simulate football game action; lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong is tackled by a fan,
Mike Dirnt sprains his ankle when jumping, and a coach motivates them in a locker room midway during the song.
The video itself, directed by Evan Bernard, humorously extends the analogy with a voice-over emulating that of
"Nice Guys Finish Last" 220

legendary NFL Films narrator John Facenda.

(1999)

"Minority" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the lead single from their sixth
studio album, Warning. The song remained at No. 1 for five weeks in a row on the Billboard Modern Rock chart in
late 2000, making it one of the most successful songs from the band in the 2000s.

Meaning
In an interview, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said that "The song is about being an individual and how you have to
drift through the darkness to find where you belong."[1]
Billie Joe Armstrong commented that this was the point in which their song writing became slightly more politically
based. The lyrics "I pledge allegiance to the under world, one nation under dog..." were taken from the American
Pledge of Allegiance but "twisted upside down a bit."
The lyric "down with the moral majority" from the chorus refers to the now dissolved socially conservative
American organization called the Moral Majority.[citation needed]

Composition
The acoustic introduction to the song launches straight into the main riff, behind which a catchy bassline adds to the
feel. The upbeat jig that runs throughout the song makes "Minority" a live favorite as Green Day nearly always
include it in their live sets. "When we play 'Minority', that's the point which I always think the floor's gonna cave in,"
commented Mike Dirnt.[citation needed]

Music video
The music video was released in September, 2000 and directed by Evan Bernard (who also directed the "Nice Guys
Finish Last" video). It shows the band on a parade float, playing their instruments in the middle of San Diego
(specifically Broadway) followed by a very reduced number of people. There are also computer-generated balloons
made to look like each individual member. In the end they destroy the float (this is typical of a Green Day music
video: destruction of instruments, props and buildings can also be seen in a number of their other videos, including
"Walking Contradiction", "Basket Case", "Longview", "Hitchin' a Ride" and "American Idiot"). The video was
released uncut on International Supervideos!. It was filmed in downtown San Diego. When he first sings the phrase
"Fuck 'em all," Billie Joe can be seen giving the middle finger to the buildings to both the left and right.

"Minority" "Warning" "Waiting"


(2000) (2000) (2001)

"Warning" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It is the second single and title track from their
sixth album, Warning.
Billie Joe Armstrong has said that the original concept was to create a song whose lyrics were made up of all signs
and labels, and the idea grew from there.
The song was a number three modern rock hit in the US and entered the Billboard Hot 100. The song also made it
into the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart in the UK.

Music video
The music video for Warning premiered on MTV in January 2001. It was directed by Francis Lawrence and shows
the life of a young man (Whose punch-in card reveals his name to be John Earle) who does trivial but dangerous
things during his day. The video starts off with the man waking up at 6:30. He sleeps on a dirty mattress wearing a
dirty pair of white pants and socks. His house is untidy and his kitchen is dirty. At the end of the video, he returns
home late at night. Because he left on his appliances, the popcorn machine has overflowed, the lights are all on and
his toaster is burning. He returns to his bed for night, throwing his clothes on the floor. When the man has gone to
sleep, his clock switches back to 6:29.

Audio sample

file info · help

"American Idiot" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It is the title track from the album
American Idiot and released as the first single from it. The song received mostly positive reviews by critics and was
nominated for four Grammy Awards; Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Best Rock Song, Best
Short Form Music Video and Record of the Year.

Background
The song heavily criticizes the state of the United States circa 2004, with lines referencing the danger of the "new,
biased media." Billie Joe Armstrong was inspired to write the song after hearing the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "That's
How I Like It" on his car radio. Said Armstrong, "It was like, 'I'm proud to be a redneck' and I was like, 'oh my God,
why would you be proud of something like that?' This is exactly what I'm against."
In a 2004 interview with Q Magazine, the three members of Green Day discussed the idea of flag desecration in
relation to their song, with Armstrong and Dirnt being the most supportive, noting that, "It means nothing to me.
Let's burn the fucking thing."[1]
"American Idiot" 230

Release
Released in 2004, the single peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Green Day's first Billboard
Hot 100 chart entry. All of Green Day's other hits had only managed to chart on the Hot 100 Airplay chart or the
Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. However, the appearance of "American Idiot" on the US singles charts occurred just
prior to Billboard's inclusion of Internet download purchases into their Billboard Hot 100 chart data, which would
have made a significant difference in the song's peak had it benefited from the new chart tabulation system.
"American Idiot" became Green Day's first Top 5 single in the United Kingdom, reaching peaking at number 3 and
at number 7 in Australia. It debuted at number 1 in Canada, holding onto the zenith position for five weeks. In
Australia, the song was ranked number 22 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004. Green Day performed the song at the
2005 Grammy Awards. "American Idiot" has sold 1,371,000 copies as of July, 2010.

Music video
The music video for "American Idiot" features the band playing in a warehouse against a green American flag (a
reference to the name of the band). In the middle of the video, the band is seen playing at different speeds (fast or
slow-motion). During the bridge, the stripes of the flag melt onto the floor. The band is then sprayed by a green
liquid from amplifiers next to the flag. At the end, the band drops their instruments and leaves. The song's video was
directed by Samuel Bayer.

Other appearances
The song was featured in the trailer for the 2005 film Wedding Crashers. An edited version of the song is featured on
the soundtrack of the American football video game Madden NFL 2005. It was featured as the closing theme song
for the first season of The Andy Milonakis Show. "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied the song on his album Straight
Outta Lynwood as "Canadian Idiot". In The Simpsons Movie, the song was played by an organist at the band's
funeral. Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this song into a lounge style on their 2005 album
Aperitif for Destruction, and Avril Lavigne did as well in 2006. The guitar riffs of the song were sampled for the
theme for Johnny Test and multiple episodes of the show. A live rendition of the song recorded in Montreal, Canada
on the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour featuring an extended guitar solo was featured on the CD portion of the
band's 2011 live album Awesome as Fuck.

Accolades
"American Idiot" was ranked the number 13 Single of the Decade by Rolling Stone magazine in 2009. VH1 also
placed the song at number 13 on its Top 100 Songs of the 2000s in 2011. Rolling Stone ranked it number 432 of The
500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010.

Green Day's "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" from American Idiot

Problems playing this file? See media help.

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the second
single from their seventh album, American Idiot. The song was written by Green Day, with lyrics by lead singer
Billie Joe Armstrong. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" remains one of Green Day's signature songs.
The song speaks from the point of view of American Idiot's main character, Jesus of Suburbia, and is a moderate
midtempo song characterized by somber and bleak lyrics. This is in contrast to the previous track on the album,
"Holiday", which illustrates Jesus of Suburbia's high of being in The City. MTV's Green Day Makes a Video
described "Holiday" as a party, and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" as the subsequent hangover.
It was ranked the number one on Rolling Stone's Reader's Choice: Singles of the Decade list in 2009 and number 65
on the 100 Best Songs of the Decade list in the same year. As of 2010, it has sold 2,084,000 copies in the United
States, and was certified 2x Platinum. The single peaked at number two in the United States, making it Green Day's
most successful song. The song was the ninth biggest selling single of the 2000-2009 decade with worldwide sales
exceeding 5 million copies. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" 234

Influences
Noel Gallagher of Oasis criticized Green Day in late 2006, saying, "They should have the decency to wait until I am
dead [before stealing my songs]. I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy", referencing the fact that
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" uses the same chord progression as Oasis's hit single "Wonderwall". Gallagher's
reaction may have partly been due to the emergence of "Boulevard of Broken Songs", a popular mash-up mixed by
San Francisco DJ and producer Party Ben in late 2004. The mix consisted of elements from "Boulevard of Broken
Dreams", "Wonderwall", Travis' "Writing to Reach You" and Eminem's "Sing for the Moment", which itself has
samples from Aerosmith's "Dream On" (another remix by Party Ben featured this, "Wonderwall" and Kanye West's
"Flashing Lights").

In popular culture

Covers
This song was covered by Japanese-American singer Hikaru Utada acoustically with a guitar during an internet
broadcast in December 2005; a video of it can be found. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is sung first and then fades
into "Passion" (After the Battle version) from the Kingdom Hearts II original soundtrack.
In the 2005 VH1 Storytellers program featuring Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong stated that the title of the song was
"nicked" from the famous Gottfried Helnwein painting of the same title, which features James Dean. Five earlier
songs also have the same title: an old Harry Warren song, a Hanoi Rocks song, a Marianne Faithfull song, a song by
Brian Setzer from his 1986 album The Knife Feels Like Justice, and a Smokie song.
Lyrics from the song bear some resemblance to the Pinhead Gunpowder song "I Walk Alone", a band in which Billie
Joe Armstrong also sings. It appeared on their 1997 album, Goodbye Ellston Avenue. The song also shares some
lyrics with the Whitesnake song "Here I Go Again", the words "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" can be found in the
lyrics of the Elvis Costello song "Brilliant Mistake", the Allman Brothers Band song "End of the Line", the Deadsy
song "The Key to Gramercy Park", and The Ataris song "Road Signs and Rock Songs". The phrase "Boulevard of
Broken Dreams" also appears in punk/new wave band Blondie's 1982 minor UK-hit single Island of Lost Souls and
in the 1988 song "Broken Dreams" by hard rock artist Lita Ford.
A live version of the song can be found on Bullet in a Bible, the 2005 live album of Green Day performing on June
19 that year at the Milton Keynes National Bowl.
Bluegrass band Cornbread Red did a cover of the song on a tribute album to Green Day Pickin' on Green Day, while
the German choir Gregorian did a cover, on their Masters of Chant Chapter V album, in the style of a Gregorian
Chant.
Mark Mallman covered this song on his MP3-only compilation release Outtakes Vol 1.
The song is also featured in Green Day's musical American Idiot, sung on the cast recording by John Gallagher Jr.,
Rebecca Naomi Jones, and the rest of the company.
Rapper/producer ImPOSSible Beats and frequent collaborator AYVEE sampled the song for their hit single "I Walk
A Lonely Road". It appeared on their debut album Crossing Borders.

Media
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is also featured in the movie trailer of Lords of Dogtown (2005), starring Heath
Ledger, Emile Hirsch and John Robinson. In an episode of the MTV series When I Was 17, Ashley Fink reveals that
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" was a favorite song of his. The song was sung by Dwight Shrute and Andy Bernard
in the episode "Secret Santa" of the sixth season of The Office.

Composition
Boulevard of Broken Dreams is set in common time and composed in the key of F minor, like Holiday, its prelude.
The opening features an electric guitar with tremolo playing the verse progression, which is a i-III-VII-IV
progression (Fm-A♭-E♭-B♭). Billie Joe's vocals begin, accompanied by acoustic guitar. The bass and drums enter
after the first two lines. The pre chorus features a memorable lead guitar melody before seguing into the distorted
chorus. The chorus contains a VI-III-VII-i power chord progression (D♭5-A♭5-E♭5-F 5), ending on a C5 power chord
vamp. The solo following the second chorus follows the verse progression while the outro follows a heavily distorted
i-VI-VII-iv power chord progression (Fm-D♭-E♭-B♭5).

Music video
The award-winning music video for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", which was directed by Samuel Bayer, depicts
the band members after their car has stalled in the desert, and they begin a melancholy walk down a dusty road.
Scenes are interspersed with film footage, taken from around Los Angeles, of homeless people and other miserable
sights. The video also features performance footage of the band playing the song in an abandoned warehouse.
The music videos for "Holiday" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" were filmed with a single, continuous storyline
— the video for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" picks up where "Holiday" has left off, with the last few seconds of
"Holiday" audible at the start of the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" video.
The video features a 1968 green Mercury Monterey convertible that was modified for filming in the "Holiday" and
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" videos. The car features a hood ornament in the shape of the hand and heart grenade
image from the American Idiot album cover, which was also used in the video for "Holiday". But the "iron fist" was
actually used in the video for "Walking Contradiction", when the band members meet at a car towards the end of the
video. The band's name is also on the front of the hood in silver letters. The band rode this car to the 2005 MTV
Video Music Awards ceremony.
As shown in an MTV Making the Video special, director Samuel Bayer used unorthodox techniques to achieve the
aged look of the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" video, including using rear projection (as opposed to green screen)
and physical damaging the negative: scratching the film with razor blades, pouring coffee on it, and smudging
cigarettes on it.
The video of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" won six awards at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2005, most
notably for Video of the Year. It also won Best Group Video, Best Rock Video, Best Direction, Best Editing, and
Best Cinematography.

Reception
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" was named Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 2006. The song's broad
appeal was demonstrated by its performance on several Billboard singles charts: it spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the
Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, 16 weeks at No. 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Adult
Top 40 chart, and 4 weeks at No. 1 on the Mainstream Top 40. This was the first song to top the 4 charts altogether
making this song a multi-chart success. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, staying there for five weeks
behind rapper 50 Cent's "Candy Shop". This was also the first Green Day song to reach the Adult Contemporary
chart, peaking at No. 30 and though Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) didn't chart on the adult contemporary, it
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" 236

did chart on its recurrent chart.


In response to Hurricane Katrina and the popularity of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Green Day donated all of the
iTunes proceeds from this song for the year to the American Red Cross for Katrina aid efforts.

"Holiday" 240

"Holiday" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single from their
seventh studio album American Idiot. The song is in the key of F minor. Though the song is a prelude to "Boulevard
of Broken Dreams", "Holiday" was released as a single later on, in the spring of 2005. The song achieved
considerable popularity across the world and performed moderately well on the charts. In the U.S., it reached number
nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Mainstream Rock
Tracks charts. It debuted at number eleven in the UK and at number twenty-one in Canada. The song has been
featured in the 2006 comedy film, Accepted.

Music video
The first half of the video takes place in a car (a 1968 Mercury Monterey convertible), where Billie Joe Armstrong,
Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool are partying around the town. In the second half they are cavorting in a bar where each of
the band members portrays several different characters. Billie Joe Armstrong plays the mentioned Representative of
California, two fighting clients, a punk rocker and a nerd. Tré Cool plays a drunken priest, an arrested patron, and a
female prostitute. Mike Dirnt plays the barman, another punk, and a policeman. There are also scenes featuring
seemingly worn-down can-can dancers. At the end of the video, the car smokes to a halt in the field that "Boulevard
of Broken Dreams" begins in. Like the video for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", this video was directed by Samuel
Bayer.
The band arrived at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards in the same car, this time "pimped out" by James
Washburn, a friend of the band.

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" on YouTube

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released in June 2005
as the fourth single from their seventh album, American Idiot.
The song deals with the death of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's father, who died when Armstrong was a child.
The single peaked at number six in the United States, becoming Green Day's third Top 10 single. It also peaked at #8
in Canada and the UK, while making #13 in Australia. "Wake Me Up When September Ends" had sold 1,652,000
copies as of May 2010, and was the second highest selling single in the U.S. from American Idiot, behind only the
multi-platinum "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". The song ended the streak of Green Day's three consecutive #1 hits
on the Modern Rock Tracks chart (American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Holiday), but it hit #2 on the
chart almost hitting #1 by Gorillaz Feel Good Inc.. The song also hit #2 on the Adult Top 40 and #3 on the
Mainstream Top 40. This was the band's most successful song to the adult contemporary market, hitting #13 on its
own chart and their only song to chart other than "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
"Wake Me Up When September Ends" 244

Music video
Like the majority of the videos from the album American Idiot, Samuel Bayer was the director. The video features
Green Day's support guitarist, Jason White. This is the second time Jason White has appeared in a Green Day video,
first appearing in "When I Come Around", ten years earlier but not as a band member.
The video focuses on a very loving couple (played by Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood). The boyfriend promises
never to leave his girlfriend but they later argue when the boyfriend enlists in the United States Marine Corps. The
boyfriend interprets his actions as a way to show her that he loves her so much that he would put his life on the line
to keep her safe; the girlfriend, however, is heartbroken, as he broke his vow to never leave her, and terrified at the
thought that he might die in battle. The video then shows the boyfriend in battle in Iraq being ambushed by
insurgents. This scene is intercut with scenes of the girlfriend tearfully mourning in a quiet field. The video ends on
this juxtaposition, emphasizing the pain and heartache of losing loved ones due to the war.
This video adds to the American Idiot anti-war sentiment of the Iraq War. The song eventually became a tribute song
to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and sound bites were added from various news coverages to the song. A live
version of the song, recorded on September 3, 2005, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts was released
soon after and dedicated to the hurricane's victims. The song was performed live with U2 guitarist The Edge in the
pregame show of the Monday Night Football game between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons; it was
the first game played in the Superdome in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

"Wake Me Up When September "Jesus of "The Saints Are

(2005) (2005) (with U2)
(2006)

"Jesus of Suburbia" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released as the fifth and final single from
their seventh studio album, American Idiot. It is Green Day's second longest song (their longest song being
"Homecoming") ever recorded and their longest song to be released as a single. The studio version of the song, a five
movement piece, runs just over 9 minutes and was considered to be unfriendly for radio, so it was cut down to 6½
minutes for the radio edit. The long version was still played on many album rock and alternative rock radio stations.
At most live shows on the first leg of their 21st Century Breakdown World Tour, the band would pick a member
from the audience to play guitar for the song. The single has sold 205,000 copies as of July 2010.

Background
"After you write a song like that, it was like, 'I can't turn back now.' You can't all of a sudden say, 'I want to write a normal record."
[1]
Billie Joe Armstrong, Billboard, 2004

The song was composed by Green Day (with Billie Joe Armstrong writing the lyrics), and was co-produced by Rob
Cavallo. "Jesus of Suburbia" has five movements:
• I. "Jesus of Suburbia" (0:00 – 1:51)
• II. "City of the Damned" (1:51 – 3:42)
• III. "I Don't Care" (3:42 – 5:25)
• IV. "Dearly Beloved" (5:25 – 6:30)

• V. "Tales of Another Broken Home" (6:30 – 9:08)

Music videos
Two versions of the "Jesus of Suburbia" music video exist, directed by Samuel Bayer (who also directed the music
videos for the first four singles released from the American Idiot album). The official music video premiered on
October 14, 2005 in the UK and on October 25, 2005 on the MTV network for viewers in the US. One version is a
12-minute edit, complete with a plot and dialogue; the other is a six and a half-minute director's cut, inclusive solely
of the music itself and devoid of additives. The six-minute version is censored, whereas the twelve-minute version is
not. The video starred Lou Taylor Pucci as Jesus of Suburbia. Jesus' love interest (Whatsername) was played by
Kelli Garner. Jesus' mother was portrayed by Canadian actress Deborah Kara Unger. Although Armstrong was
originally tipped to provide the acting role of the main character, this was altered during pre-filming.
The plot of the video essentially follows that of the song. Despite the fact it is the second track, the video reveals
Jesus' and Whatsername's relationship before it is revealed in the story. The video pays homage to "1979" by
Smashing Pumpkins--it also made use of the snorricam which created the videos' notable up close shots in the
convenience store and party scenes. Touring guitarist at the time Jason White appears briefly on Jesus of Suburbia's
television of the performance at Milton Keynes during Part 4 (Dearly Beloved).

Live performances
It has been played at most of their concerts since its release. At many concerts on the 21st Century Breakdown
World Tour they picked someone from the crowd to play guitar on the song.
The song holds the record of the longest performance on the UK television programme, Top of the Pops at 9 minutes
and 10 seconds on November 6, 2005.[citation needed]

Critical reception
Jesus Of Suburbia has received critical acclaim. People magazine called the song "epic" and a "magnificent
nine-minute rock opera." It is often recognized as one of Green Day's greatest songs.[2] It was voted the greatest
Green Day song of all time in a Rolling Stone readers poll in September 2012. Magnet considered the song
underrated, saying "Some will look at this choice and sniff, “How the hell can you call that underrated?” ... But how
in the world can you call it “overrated” when the five-movement, nine-plus-minute song bobs and weaves its way
through standard-issue pop punk (“Jesus Of Suburbia”), a piano-laced interlude (“City Of The Damned”), the
slobbering, thundering middle section (“I Don’t Care”), acoustic mid-tempo connective tissue (“Dearly Beloved”) and
an outsized, anthemic curtain call (the spectacularly good “Tales Of Another Broken Home”), all in service of a tale
of bored rebellion as nuanced as Pete Townshend’s “Quadrophenia” and as powerful as any of Paul Westerberg’s
snot-nosed teenage character studies?"

(2007) (2009) (2009)

"Know Your Enemy" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the first single from
their eighth album 21st Century Breakdown, through Reprise Records on April 16, 2009. Billboard described the
song as being lyrically "just as politically charged as last time (on American Idiot)", having a "Modern Rock
radio-ready chorus", whilst the song's producer Butch Vig "brings enough punk sheen for mass appeal." It was the
first, and one of only three songs, to top the Rock Songs, Alternative Songs and Mainstream Rock Tracks Billboard
charts at the same time. Know Your Enemy has been certified Gold by the RIAA and has sold 798,000 copies as of
August 2010.

Release and reception


It was referred to by Spin as sounding "like an out-take from the Dookie sessions". About.com's Bill Lamb said the
song was "standard issue Green Day", "not a stroke of genius" and "not on par with their last album", but said it was
a "great appetizer" for one of the most eagerly awaited albums of 2009. Pitchfork Media described the track as
having "pedantic stiffness" and "nothing more than a rote protest song preaching to the converted". Rolling Stone
called the song one of the highlights of the album, praising the punk-oriented sound and calling it a "Clash-size
bootboy chants". Billboard said that "The lead single from the band's new release, "21st Century Breakdown", finds
the group just as politically charged as last time", but also said that "While the subject matter is broad and may be
missed by some, "Enemy" has enough charm to amp up the airwaves until (21st Century) Breakdown is released."
Billie Joe Armstrong told Q, "It’s a rallying song. It’s about liberating yourself from a lot of bullshit that you see on
TV." The song managed to top both the Billboard Mainstream and Alternative Songs charts at the same time, while
cracking the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, so far reaching number 28. The song entered the Alternative Songs
chart at number eight and rose to number one in its second week. It kept the top spot for six weeks. It became
available as a downloadable song for the music video game Rock Band on July 7, 2009, along with the songs "East
Jesus Nowhere" and "21 Guns" and is also featured on the soundtrack to the video game NHL 10. It has been used
"Know Your Enemy" 252

on the trailers for the movie The Spy Next Door as well as being used to promote Comcast and the Wimbledon on
ESPN.
During their "21st Century Breakdown" tour show in Minneapolis on July 11, 2009, Billie Joe Armstrong told the
crowd that the song had been recorded on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, MN.
"Know Your Enemy" was used as the theme song for WWE Smackdown since the show's debut on Syfy from
2010-2012.
It is also played at Green Bay Packers games when the away team comes out of the locker room.
FC Halifax Town also use this as their walk out song when playing at home.
The song is also featured on the Awesome as Fuck live album.

Music video
The music video was directed by Motion Theory's Matthew Cullen (who helmed the video for Weezer's "Pork and
Beans" in 2008), and it premiered on MTV and other stations across the globe on April 24, 2009. In the video, the
band is performing at night on a stage in a field surrounded by a barbed wire fence. Shots of the band are also
frequently seen through night vision closed-circuit cameras that surround the field, as well as on helicopters that
patrol the area with searchlights. The final chorus of the song shows fire burning behind the band in silhouettes of
the band members (Billie Joe has a man with a guitar behind him, Tre Cool has a man playing the drums behind him,
Mike Dirnt has a man playing bass behind him). The video was shot in Downtown Los Angeles.

"21 Guns" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released as the second single from their eighth
album, 21st Century Breakdown. The single was released through Reprise Records on May 25, 2009 as a digital
download and July 14, 2009 as a CD single. The song has been a success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at
No. 22, which has become their highest charting single since 2005.
It was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo/Group with Vocals and Best Rock Song in
2010. "21 Guns" has sold over 2,151,000 copies as of December 2011.[citation needed]

Background and composition


"21 Guns" addresses the topic of patriotism. Frontman and chief songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong told Q magazine,
in May 2009: "It brings up 21st Century Breakdown in a lot of ways, and the 21 gun-salute for someone that's fallen,
but done in an arena rock 'n' roll sort of way."
According to Q, the song is "a mammoth power ballad with a chorus like Mott the Hoople's All the Young Dudes."
William Goodman from Spin agreed, also comparing the song to All The Young Dudes. Entertainment Weekly's
Simon Vozick-Levinson described it as a "sensitive arena rock cut that made us think of Toto's 'Africa'. While the
chorus sounded more like ELO's 'Telephone Line.' A Rolling Stone article commented that it "has a dash of
'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' to it." Spin's Goodman agreed, writing: "This track covers a lot of territory in its five
"21 Guns" 256

minutes, from a solo acoustic guitar (reminiscent of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams") to Brian May-worthy electric
riffage. But the chorus holds the killer hook, as Armstrong hits highs with his voice in a thrilling moment."

Critical reception
The song received acclaim from music critics. Chris Fallon writing for AbsolutePunk commented that "it is arguably
the album's highlight, presenting an anti-war ballad that is both monumentally enduring and also sophisticated
protest." James Montgomery of MTV News described it as "a cell-phones-in-the-air anthem, starting with more
sharply strummed acoustic guitars." Colian Moriarty from IGN wrote that the track is "perhaps the best song on the
album as a whole, is a multi-faceted song with a pretty poignant message to boot." Jordan Richardson of Blogcritics
commented: "It's the album’s anti-war hymn, reaching heroic heights with a sleek sort of sappiness that fits
flawlessly. The range and sentiment may dishearten those looking for a little more Dookie from their Green Day, but
I’ve never heard Billie Joe sound so good and so earnest as he pulls his frail voice upwards to knock out some
stunning high notes." Mayer Nissim gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, writing: "It combines verses reminiscent of Neil
Young's 'Heart of Gold' with big power-pop chord changes and choruses that soar in all the right places. The jerky
charm of the band's earlier work may be missing, but there's still lots to enjoy here."
However, Adam Downer from Sputnikmusic was negative, commenting that "it sounds like a terrible rewrite of
something John Lennon never released."

Release and media appearance


"21 Guns" was released to modern punk radio stations on May 25, 2009, although it had already been played on
some radio stations, such as KROQ in Los Angeles and 101.9 in New York City. In the radio edit, the song is over
forty seconds shorter than the album version due to the bridge being shortened and the intro being taken out. The CD
single and clear 7" single were released on July 14, 2009.
The song is featured heavily in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and appears on the soundtrack, which was
released on June 12, 2009. It became available for download on the music video game series Rock Band on July 7,
2009, along with the songs "East Jesus Nowhere" and "Know Your Enemy.
The song was featured in episode 6 of The Vampire Diaries. The song is featured in the video game Green Day:
Rock Band and is downloadable content for the Rock Band series.
A live version was also released on 21 Guns Live EP in September 2009.

Music video
A music video was directed by Marc Webb and filmed in Los Angeles on June 6, 2009. It premiered on MySpace on
Monday, June 22, 2009 at midnight EDT. A shorter version of the video also exists, which is set to the radio edit of
the song. [citation needed]
It is the third Green Day video to feature touring guitarist Jason White performing with the band, following "Wake
Me Up When September Ends", and "Working Class Hero". He is also seen briefly in the music videos for "When I
Come Around" and "Jesus of Suburbia" but he is not performing with the band. [citation needed]
After spending the previous week at number 3, the video peaked at number one on VH1 Top 20 Countdown on
August 22, 2009 and again on September 19, 2009. It also won "Best Rock Video", "Best Direction in a Video" and
"Best Cinematography in a Video" for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
The video takes place with the band and the album's two protagonists Christian (Josh Boswell) and Gloria (Lisa
Stelly) taking refuge in a white room after robbing a bank. The police arrive outside the room and open fire through
the window, to the couple's terror. As bullets rain through the room, the band continues playing. Gloria picks up the
phone and throws it into a fish tank. As the bullets continue to fly and tear apart the room, Christian and Gloria
"21 Guns" 257

become calm and walk toward each other, unharmed by the bullets. They embrace and kiss as the room goes dark,
recreating the 21st Century Breakdown cover art. As the song ends, the room lights up again, and they are still
uninjured. After the room lights up, there are various shots of destruction in the room, including a shot of some of
the writing on the walls. The writing that they show is an excerpt of the lyrics of the song "See The Light" which
also appears on "21st Century Breakdown". The video may represent the meaning of the song in the 21st Century
Breakdown story.

"East Jesus Nowhere" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single
from their eighth album 21st Century Breakdown. The single was released October 19, 2009. The song rebukes
fundamentalist religion and was written by singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong after he attended a church service
where a friend's baby was baptized. The title is derived from a phrase in the 2007 film Juno.

Music video
The music video was released on September 17, 2009. It shows a montage of live concert footage and pictures from
their 21st Century Breakdown World Tour. The video is longer by about 30 seconds, because the bridge of the song
is extended, although the studio version of the song is still used instead of a live version. [citation needed] The music
video was directed by Chris Dugan and M. Douglas Silverstein.

"21st Century Breakdown" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day from their album of the same
name. Billie Joe Armstrong composed the song which is mainly based on his personal life and musical influences.
The song was released as the fourth single from the album on December 21, 2009.

Background and composition


Much of the song was written about the personal life of its songwriter, Billie Joe Armstrong. According to David
Fricke of Rolling Stone, its opening lyrics "Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell" refer to Armstrong's birth year of
1972, while "We are the class of '13" references his eldest son Joseph's high school graduation year of 2013. Later in
the song, lyrics begin to reference the song's musical influences. "Last one born / but first one to run" is an allusion
to Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run., while "I never made it as a working class hero" is a clear reference to the John
Lennon song, "Working Class Hero", which the band had previously released as a cover.

Reception to the song has been mainly positive. Spin thought that "21st Century Breakdown" was "Green Day's most
epic song yet". AbsolutePunk exclaimed that it "bursts forth with resilient aplomb". Adam Downer of Sputnikmusic
called the track "heavily indebted to The Who [and] Queen".

Music video
The music video for "21st Century Breakdown" was directed by Marc Webb In September 2009. It premiered on-air
and online October 19, 2009 on MTV and a number of its subsidiary websites. It starts off with a wall with the
spray-painted woman and man from the album art of 21st Century Breakdown. After they kiss the first chord strikes.
The video is animated in graffiti. Then the graffiti version of Billie Joe Armstrong turns into the real Armstrong then
everything is in real life.

"Oh Love" is a song by American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the lead single from their ninth
studio album, ¡Uno!, on July 16, 2012, through Reprise Records, and an EP of the song was released on August 14,
2012. It was recorded at Jingletown Studios from February 14 to June 26, 2012; however, it was also played at a
secret show held by the band in 2011.
The song's genre mixes elements of the band's early pop punk style with their recent alternative rock and power pop
releases. Critical response to the song was mixed; it was praised for its musical style and tone, as well as criticized
for being "middle-ground". It appeared on multiple charts worldwide upon its debut. The song made its debut in the
number-one position on the US Rock Songs chart, making it the band's first song, and the third ever in the history, to
do so.

Background and release


The song was played at a "secret show" performed by the band on October 28, 2011, where the band also performed
other songs that are on the track listing of ¡Uno!: "Let Yourself Go" and "Carpe Diem" Erica Futterman of Rolling
Stone praised the band's performance while also writing, "Other new music included the blistering Ramones-tinged
'Let Yourself Go' ('Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much and I don't give a fuck anyway'), the driving beat
and sing-along chorus of 'Carpe Diem,' and the strut of 'Oh Love'". Green Day went into the studio to begin
recording songs for a new album on February 14, 2012. Eventually, the band announced the release of albums
¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!. The official confirmation of the song came with the release of the track listing of their
album ¡Uno! on June 26, 2012.
Later, on June 25, 2012, the band announced that they would be releasing "Oh Love" as the first single from ¡Uno!.
Prior to its release, the band released a teaser-sample of the song in a video uploaded to YouTube. The 16-second
video consists of the cover art of ¡Uno! and an advertisement at the bottom with a snippet of the song played in the
background, and at the end shows the head of Armstrong in the cover art, eating the advertisement. The song was
released on July 16, 2012 through Reprise Records and along with the release of the song, the band uploaded a video
to YouTube which had its lyrics and the full song. On July 20, 2012, an extended play of the song was announced,
which was released on August 14, 2012. "Oh Love" was released as part of the "Green Day 03" downloadable
content pack for Rock Band 3 and Rock Band Blitz on September 25, 2012.

Theme and composition


"Oh Love"
The sample contains a guitar-based melody with repetition of lines

Problems playing this file? See media help.

"Oh Love" is a power pop song with a length of five minutes and two seconds. The song is in the key of A♭ major
and uses a progression of I-IV-I-V-I for the words "Oh Love". Its musical style is reminiscent of the band's early
albums Dookie (1994) and Nimrod (1997). It is a "move away" from the band's politically inspired releases like
American Idiot (2004) and 21st Century Breakdown (2009). Bassist Mike Dirnt described the musical style of "Oh
Love" by stating, "We were just thinking about making a killer power-pop record – dirtier, back to basics. We
tapped into our version of Exile on Main Street". Vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong also talked about his desire
to write a power pop song, stating, "What I really wanted to do was write real power-pop kind of music that had that
old Green Day energy, so the original Green Day sound became ¡Uno!".
"Oh Love" 271

David Fricke of Rolling Stone compared the song to the genre of The Who's Quadrophenia and the vocals of
Armstrong in the start to those of John Lennon. He called the song a "tight, addicting bundle of pop-hook class and
crunchy-punk fundamentals". Sarah Maloy of Billboard elaborated that the guitar instrumentation is simple and the
tune is similar to the band's early releases.

Artwork
The band revealed the artwork of "Oh Love" on July 10, 2012, in a press release on their official website about the
release of the song. The cover art of the song follows the style of those of ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!. It features a
traffic signal post on the right side with a heart on top followed by two crosses below. "Green Day" and "Oh Love"
are written in capital letters at top left and bottom left respectively. "Green Day" is written in pale yellow while "Oh
Love" is in white against the blue background, which shows contrast between light-dark and light shades along with
black in the corner.
The band also announced release of an EP of the song and also showed its artwork, which is similar with minor
variations in color and images. It features a traffic signal post on the right side similar to the song with a cross
instead of a heart on top followed by a heart-shaped hand grenade and a couple kissing, the artwork for American
Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, respectively, instead of two crosses below. "Green Day", in blue, and "Oh Love",
in white, are written in capital letters on the left top and bottom respectively, against a striped red background with
blackened corners.

Music video
The music video is directed by Samuel Bayer, who also directed the band's American Idiot videos. Lead singer Billie
Joe Armstrong said of the video on MTV: "It's very lustful". The video shows the stereotypes of a rock star's life.
The video features Green Day playing the song in front of an audience of scantily clad women.

Critical reception
The song received positive responses from a number of critics. David Fricke of Rolling Stone assigned the track four
out of five stars, deeming it "just a bright, strident vocal and crisply strummed guitar. But when Armstrong’s
bandmates fall in around him, Green Day sound the way you originally loved ’em, and refreshed: heavier and
hardened from their time in the trenches but back in the garage, ready for rapture". Scott Shetler of PopCrush also
rated the song four out of five stars and compared it to the song "Jesus of Suburbia" from the album American Idiot,
calling it "a much shorter and slightly more accessible version" of that song. He also added, "That’s good news for
Green Day fans and for those who miss rock music on Top 40 radio". However, the song did not receive an entirely
positive response from NME, who stated, "That crunchy guitar riff, that meandering melody, that by-the-numbers
solo – it all comes off rather ‘meh’, rather safe, and rather middle-ground to these ears".

Chart performance
Upon its release as the lead song, "Oh Love" debuted on multiple world charts. The song made its debut at number
one on the US Rock Songs with 13 million audience impressions at 145 reporting stations. The song is the band's
first and only the third ever to debut at number one on the charts, following Linkin Park's "The Catalyst" on 21
August 2010, and Foo Fighters' "Rope" on 12 March 2011. The song also debuted on the US Alternative Songs at
number seven and peaked at number three. It became the band's 28th title on the Alternative Songs tally and the 20th
song to chart in the Top 10 Alternative Songs—the third highest number of songs by a single artist to do so, sharing
that position with Foo Fighters and trailing U2 and Red Hot Chili Peppers with 23 and 24 charting in the Top 10
respectively. It debuted on the Japan Hot 100 at 27 and the Canadian Hot 100 at 54. The song peaked on the Canada
(Alternative Rock) at number four and on the Canada (Active Rock) at number 12. On the Czech Airplay Chart, it
"Oh Love" 272

made its debut at number 69. It debuted at number 73 on the Belgian Tip Chart and at 88 on the Netherlands Single
Top 100. It also debuted at 83 on the Media Control Germany Top 100 Singles Chart.

"Kill the DJ" on YouTube

"Kill the DJ" is a song by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released as the second single from the
band's ninth studio album, ¡Uno!, on August 14, 2012. The song was recorded at Jingletown Studios from February
14 to June 26, 2012, and was released under the record labels Reprise Records and Warner Bros. A music video,
directed by Samuel Bayer, was released on September 4, 2012.
"Kill the DJ" 275

The song takes influences from dance music, something that Green Day had never done before, and was compared to
The Clash albums Sandinista! (1980) and Combat Rock (1982), as well as the band The Rapture. "Kill the DJ" was
based on "static and noise" and it was an "imagery of waterboarding and torture straight into the dance club". The
song appeared on charts worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics.

Background and release


Green Day began to record material for ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! on February 14, 2012. During the sessions, Mike
Dirnt asked the frontman Billie Joe Armstrong to write a song with a "four-on-the-floor" rhythm. After the release of
"Oh Love" as the lead single from the album on July 16, 2012, the band revealed the artwork of "Kill the DJ" during
a press release on July 30, 2012. The song was performed eight days ahead of its release on a secret show held at the
Echoplex on August 6, 2012. BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe played the censored version of "Kill the DJ" on August
13, 2012. The next day, the single was made available on the iTunes Store. The accompanying music video for the
song premiered on Youtube on September 4, 2012 to coincide with the release of the third single "Let Yourself Go"
on September 5. A teaser was previously uploaded on the channel on August 29, 2012.

Theme and composition


"Kill the DJ"
The sample contains a guitar-based, dance-punk melody with repetition of lines

Problems playing this file? See media help.

"Kill the DJ" is a dance-punk song considered by Armstrong as being close to "straight-up dance music" with a
"four-on-the-floor" rhythm; he compared the overall production of the song to The Clash's 1980 album, Sandinista!,
as well as "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" by Ian Dury and "Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club.
The band stated that while producing the song, they tried to figure out "how to make dance music" without turning
themselves into a dance act. Armstrong claimed this as the first time the band had written a dance song. Michael
Roffman of Consequence of Sound compared the song with the works of The Rapture and The Clash's 1982 album,
Combat Rock, by stating that it was "strictly for basement dancefloors everywhere." According to Armstrong, the
lyrics of "Kill the DJ" can be considered as "a sweeping political statement" rather than being interpreted as "a
comment on electronic music figures." He told Rolling Stone that the song is about "static and noise... Like this
government cannot, will not, agree with itself. They refuse to make it work. Right, left—it doesn’t matter. It blows
your mind and pisses you off. It’s a song about being drunk, going through this chaos, feeling fucked up and all you
want to do is get more drunk".
Todd Martens of Los Angeles Times wrote that the word DJ in "Kill the DJ" does not signify a real DJ but some
different figure. He compared "Kill the DJ" to a song on 21st Century Breakdown (2009), "The Static Age", which
was "a foaming-at-the-mouth guitar rant that everyone—pundits, politicians, celebrities—should stop babbling and
shut up." He added, "['Kill the DJ'] drops some cursory nods to war and religion in the opening bars, but soon brings
the imagery of waterboarding and torture straight into the dance club."
"Kill the DJ" 276

Artwork
The band revealed the artwork of "Kill the DJ" on July 30, 2012, on their website. The cover art follows the style of
those of ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!. It features a white stereo in the middle with two skull heads on the left and right as
speakers. The skulls are black, while the crosses on their eyes are pink; similar style of artwork had been used in
¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!. "Green Day" is written on top of the stereo in green font and "Kill the DJ" is written below
the stereo in white. "Kill the DJ" is written on the floor, which shows contrast between dark-pink and black shades.
"Green Day" is written in green and is against the background of shades of blue and black stripes.

Music video
The accompanying music video for "Kill the DJ" was directed by Green Day's longtime collaborator Samuel Bayer,
who previously directed the clip for the band's previous single, "Oh Love", as well as all the videos shot for their
American Idiot studio album. Via Twitter, the band announced the upcoming release of the clip, and a teaser video
was uploaded to their YouTube channel on August 29, 2012. The teaser video featured several scenes from the video
while playing a snippet of the song from the ending part of the track. The full video premiered on September 4,
2012. The video starts with a black-and-white clip of the band riding motorcycles through a desert and finding their
way into a nightclub. The band walks through the club while others dance. While they perform in the club, violence
bursts out between two girls and some bottles get broken. Near the end, both of the girls have a "bloodbath" and can
be seen with blood on their faces and cloths while they continue to dance.

Critical reception
"Kill the DJ" was included in Zane Lowe's Hottest Tracks of 2012; it finished second, while Calling by Sebastian
Ingrosso and Alesso was first. Jack Brad, writing for Hive Magazine, considered that the song was a "fun and funky"
track showcasing a different musical direction for the band; he expanded by stating that it encompassed a "catchy
melody and ... infectious chorus" that proven how the band was capable to experiment with new musical styles with
every new production, citing Warning (2000) and Nimrod (1997) as examples of this achievement. Gigwise argued
that "Kill the DJ"'s music video was not as violent as previous clips by the band, stating that "those who attended the
band's brilliant Reading Festival set in August will testify" that things can get more violent than what was expressed
in it.
David Greenwald of Billboard magazine described "Kill the DJ" as a "profanity-laced and Clash-channeling" track.
Zara Golden of VH1, talking about the video, states, "The hit is only a symbolic one, though, and the only real
violence to be had here is a slaying guitar riff. Rather, this is an assault against the dubbed-out sound that seems to
be dominating today’s air waves, Green Day’s own and only pretend bloody dubstep demolition". Todd Martens of
LA Times, criticizing the single stated that, "It's all played rather straight. 'I'll pick up what's left in the club,'
Armstrong sings suspiciously, and the video released Tuesday doesn't do much to present the song as a statement."
Consequence of Sound, stating that the clips of the band driving motorbikes in the initial part of the video were
irrelevant, stated that: "There’s also a random scene of the band riding dirt bikes through the desert, which doesn’t
really make sense in the context of the video but seems like a good way to spend an excess video budget."

"Let Yourself Go" is heavier and more upbeat than the band's previous two singles "Oh Love" and "Kill the DJ". The
song sees Green Day return to its 90s roots with a tone and style that imitates the band's earlier work from Dookie

and Insomniac. The song also reflects the style of Van Halen from the 80s.
David Fricke of the Rolling Stone in a review of ¡Uno! compared the theme of the song with "Stay the Night",
another song on the album, stating; "'Stay the Night' and 'Let Yourself Go' are the kind of pop-smart
here's-my-fucking-problem miniatures Armstrong was writing like second nature when he, Dirnt and Cool were too
young to drink (legally) where they gigged. But Armstrong is 40 now, married and a dad, and a lot of this ruckus
sounds designed to drown out the time bombs ticking in his head and the maddening static outside".

Critical reception
The song received positive reception from the critics, mainly focusing on the song's references to Green Day's
stylistic origins. Erica Futterman of Rolling Stone praised the song, describing it as a "blistering [and]
Ramones-tinged [song]." Andrew Unterberger of PopDust noted the song to be "a forgotten cut from the second side
of Insomniac". He further added that "it's good enough, catchy and energetic [...] 'Let Yourself Go' isn't a bad song
by any means, but it’s hardly an exciting or particularly new-sounding one anyway". Katie Hasty of HitFix added to
the song's familiarity, stating "It's back to the melodic, snotty sound of early Green Day, with some spit shine and a
few f-bombs." The Reporter described that the song was a "rant and snarl encouragingly" in which "Tre’s rapid-fire
drumming [was] conjuring up some of the Dookie magic".
Greg Kot of Chicago tribune stated that the song was "undeniably sharp, [and] catchy" which was "hurtling on a
wave of harmony vocals". Yorgo Douramacos of Slant magazine noted it as an "occasional guitar solo" and further
added that the song "steers a straightforward punk anthem toward early-'80s Van Halen territory." Randall Roberts
from Los Angeles Times described the song to be an "obvious chart-buster" and added that it would "no doubt be
used to back NFL highlight reels for years to come." Scott Heisel from Alternative Press cited the song to be the
fastest on the album by stating that "It’s the fastest song on ¡Uno!, breaking 200 bpms and creating an instant
sing-along with perfectly placed profanity. It’s destined to become a live staple."

Live performances
Green Day played a secret-show in Costa Mesa, California on August 11,
2011, where they performed an entire set of over 15 new songs from the
then-unannounced ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy, including "Let Yourself Go".
Later on, the song was also played at few other secret shows of the band. A
recording of the band performing the song live at Red 7 in Austin, Texas on
November 17, 2011 was released online on July 30, 2012 as the "official live
video" for the song.

The band was touring in Italy five days prior to their performance at the 2012
MTV Video Music Awards. The front-man Billie Joe Armstrong was
admitted to hospital due to dehydration and influenza. This caused the band to

performance at the VMAs. However, Armstrong recovered and the band
performed "Let Yourself Go" at the VMAs. Andrew Unterberger of PopDust
criticized the performance by stating that: "Green Day are always game live performers, inviting the crowd to
basically bum-rush them on stage, but it’s not good enough to stand out as anything besides an empty gesture
towards a genre now very far in MTV’s past."

"Stray Heart" blends the pop punk sound of Green Day with the garage rock sound of their side project Foxboro Hot
Tubs.
"Stray Heart" 282

The song has been described as "an amped-up Motown bounce recalling Britpop progenitors The Jam's classic "A
Town Called Malice", but with speaker-bursting modern-rock dynamics".

Media formats
The only format the band released the single on is Promo CD which was released on October 15, 2012, a month
before its album release on November 13, 2012. However, the pressings of this single on Promo CD is very rare and
only released probably 500 copies worldwide as of December 2012.

Music video
On November 7, 2012, a music video for "Stray Heart" was released. The video starts with a man (Alex Knox)
looking for records at a record store and buying some Green Day vinyl including ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, but as he
gives the records to his girlfriend (Leven Rambin), she sees a hole in his chest where his heart should be, and she
slams the door on him. As the man is walking down the street, he gets strange reactions and sees trails of blood on
the pavements. He follows the trail and chases the heart around the town, where he finally gets to it outside the girl's
apartment, where she throws the records back at him. The video was directed by Robert Schober (aka RoboSchobo).

Artwork
The artwork of "Stray Heart" features a white background with little black dots at the sides, "Green Day" and "Stray
Heart" are written in black, capital, also uses the same font. "Green Day" is placed at the top, and "Stray Heart" is
written below where "Green Day is written." Pink lip stain is shown at the right side, below the lips shows bones
crossed in an X-form and colored in black.

Critical reception
Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone rated the song a three and a half out five stars, commenting "It's not their most
high-concept experiment, but it's a pretty fun one".

Mike Dirnt, bassist of the band said in an interview at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards: "When we were asked to

Reception
The song reached mixed and positive reviews. In a positive review, Rolling Stone magazine stated: "The strings
return for ¡Tré!'s closing song, "The Forgotten," a five-minute piano ballad that unfolds like a lost track from the
second side of Abbey Road. "Don't look away from the arms of love," Billie Joe Armstrong sings, as he brings the
trilogy in for a sweet, soft landing." and Entertainment Weekly said in a review of the soundtrack that "The
Forgotten" was the best song of the whole album.
Alternative Press, however, said that the piano line of the song is one of the limpest things the trio have ever
recorded.

The Pop Disaster Tour was a concert tour co-headlined by American rock bands Blink-182 and Green Day. The
tour was created to echo the Monsters of Rock tours; the idea was to have, effectively, a Monsters of Punk tour. The
two groups, with supporting acts Jimmy Eat World, Kut U Up and Saves the Day, toured for two months across the
United States and Canada, mostly in outdoor amphitheatres.

Background
The tour was conceived by Blink-182 to echo the famous Monsters of Rock tours; the idea was to have, effectively, a
Monsters of Punk tour.[1] The tour, from the band's point of view, had been put together as a show of unity in the
face of consistent accusations of rivalry between the two bands, especially in Europe.[2] Instead, Green Day's Tré
Cool acknowledged in a Kerrang! interview that they committed to the tour as an opportunity to regain their status at
the top of tree, as their spotlight had faded over the years. "We set out to reclaim our throne as the most incredible
live punk band from you know who," said Cool. Cool contended that "we heard they were going to quit the tour
because they were getting smoked so badly […] We didn't want them to quit the tour. They're good for filling up the
seats up front."

Reception
Several reviewers were unimpressed with Blink-182's headlining set following Green Day. "Sometimes playing last
at a rock show is more a curse than a privilege […] Pity the headliner, for instance, that gets blown off the stage by
the band before it. Blink-182 endured that indignity Saturday at the Shoreline Amphitheatre," a reporter for the San
Francisco Chronicle wrote in 2002.[3]
The Pop Disaster Tour as a whole grossed nearly $20 million from 45 shows.

21st Century Breakdown World Tour was a concert tour by American punk band Green Day in support of the
group's eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, which was released in May 2009.
The tour began with an eight-week leg throughout North America, kicking off in Seattle, Washington in July 2009
and culminating in Los Angeles in late August.[1] A European leg followed, beginning in Lisbon in late September
and wrapping up mid-November in Turin, Italy.[2]
In December 2009, the group toured Australia and New Zealand,[3] followed by Asian dates in January 2010. The
group subsequently returned to Europe for a second leg of dates, beginning in late May 2010 with a headline
appearance at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands and two stadium shows in the United Kingdom. The tour
ended with an appearance at the Rock Werchter festival in Werchter, Belgium in early July. A scheduled
performance at the Heineken Jammin' Festival in Venice, Italy on July 4, 2010 was cancelled due to poor weather.
During their performances of "Longview", frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sprayed the front rows with water
cannons, shot t-shirts into the crowd and pulled people onstage to sing with the band.
In March 2010, a second North American leg was announced, beginning in Camden, New Jersey in early August. A
final leg of Central and South America followed in October.
A collection of recorded songs from throughout the tour and a bonus DVD of Green Day playing at the Saitama
Super Arena in Japan are available on the live album Awesome as Fuck.

The Network is a six-piece New Wave band. They released their début album Money Money 2020 on Adeline
Records on September 30, 2003. A re-release of the album, with two bonus tracks, followed in 2004. The band is
speculated to be a side project of the punk rock band Green Day. They have remained inactive since a live
performance since October 13, 2005 when they opened for Green Day at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco,
California.

History
The band formed in 2003, and the band started working on material on mid-2003. After rumours started surfacing
that Green Day was starting a new project, they came up with nicknames to hide their identities. The group recorded
and released Money Money 2020 in 2003. Since Armstrong's voice is clearly heard in several songs of the album,
fans of Green Day started to think that Money Money 2020 was Green Day's stolen album Cigarettes and
Valentines. After 2 years of that speculation, Armstrong stated that he was not in the project, nor any members of
Green Day, and has said many times "Fuck The Network". That being said, fans did not believe Armstrong, and The
Network then ceased touring together and recording together. Since about 2008, a new album has been rumoured,
which is Omega 3000, but nothing from The Network has been heard. Green Day has performed covers from the
Network as the Foxboro Hot Tubs, a name that they use to book secret shows.

Album re-release
Money Money 2020 was re-mastered and re-released by Reprise Records on November 9, 2004, with two additional
tracks, "Hammer of the Gods" and a cover of The Misfits "Teenagers from Mars" which can also be heard on Tony
Hawk's American Wasteland while "Roshambo" is on the NHL 2005 soundtrack. The original Money Money 2020
release came with a companion DVD with music videos directed and produced by Roy Miles of AntiDivision. A
segment of the song "Joe Robot" can also be heard on several VH1 specials like "All Access", MTV 2's "High
School Stories", and at least once on the MTV show "Pimp My Ride."[citation needed]
The Network 298

Members
Members of The Network include Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool and Jason White, all of whom are
most famous for their work as the band Green Day.[2] The stage names of The Network are Fink, The Snoo, Van
Gough, Captain Underpants and Balducci.
Armstrong denies the involvement of any Green Day members in The Network. Although the style of music is
different (New Wave as opposed to Green Day's pop-punk style), Warner/Chappell Music cites the three Green Day
members as having writing credits for The Network's album Money Money 2020.
I just wanted to talk about the rumors and the bullshit that has been going on lately. All I gotta say is
fuck The Network. These guys are totally spreading rumors. I try to do those guys a favour by bringing
them to this country and putting out their record and this is how I get repaid, by talking shit about my
band. Unfortunately there is a contract and I have to put out their record. The only thing I can say is
Fuck you, Network. Bring it on. -Billie Joe Armstrong
The band's website (The Network [1]) was registered by Green Day, Inc., on May 16, 2003. WHOIS details for the
domain can be seen at Network Solutions. [3] Green Day also utilized the domain in July 2007 to host their rendition
of The Simpsons theme song for The Simpsons Movie. [4]

Identities
Still unknown about The Network is which stage name goes with which musician. The following information may or
may not link the members of Green Day to certain stage names in the band.
• Fink: Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has written songs for Pinhead Gunpowder under the alias
"Wilhelm Fink." Fink of The Network and Armstrong are also both born under the same astrological sign:
Aquarius. The Network is also signed under Billie Joe's record company, Adeline Records. The official Network
web site also claims that Fink financed the band, when in actuality this was done by Armstrong. Another
coincidence is that in the song "Spike" the character Branden moved into a warehouse in Oakland. It is well
known that Billie Joe used to live in a warehouse in Oakland with several other punk rock band members. And in
another song, he mentions "The Ave.", which is a nickname for Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley, on which the title of
the song "Stuart and the Ave." on the Insomniac album is based. Another clue to Fink being Armstrong is that on
the CD Short Music For Short People, Green Day plays a song called "The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink."
• Van Gough: Mike Dirnt is identified by most fans as Van Gough. Van Gough claims to be a vegan on the band's
official biography on the website, even though Mike Dirnt is not vegan. (Cf. Vincent van Gogh.)
• The Snoo: Tré Cool can be identified in several pictures (note the size and shape of the nose).[5] The Snoo claims
to be a former Mexican wrestler in his bio on the Network's official website. Green Day has, in the past, had a
run-in with former ECW wrestlers Tazz and Tommy Dreamer. The Network was a faction representing TNN,
now Spike, censors when ECW had a wrestling program on the channel. Spike is also the name of a song by The
Network, telling the story of how a punk rocker becomes homeless when his girlfriend leaves him. On the GDA
website Billie Joe Armstrong claims that his favorite joke from all of those he made up is ‘What do you call a
drummer without a girlfriend? Homeless!’ Cool was seen wearing a similar mask while pranking supporting band
The Bravery during a concert at Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. and while pranking opener Best Coast at
Green Day's March 31, 2013 concert at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh (while wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins
jersey).
• Captain Underpants: He is believed to be Reto Peter, a Swiss producer. This is supported by an obviously faked
press conference seen at the end of the DVD Disease is Punishment where questions by the press are answered in
Swiss German by one of the band members. (Cf. Captain Underpants.)
• Z: He is believed to be Chris Dugan, a sound engineer.
The Network 299

• Balducci: is most likely Jason White, Green Day's back-up guitarist. Balducci even fills that duty in the Network,
and is seen on stage in a similar stance to White's when he plays guitar.
• Reto Peter: Is also the co-producer of Money Money 2020 and one of its songs is called "Reto".
• Chris Dugan: The sound engineer for Money Money 2020 and the mixer for Disease is Punishment. He is also
credited with the production of a Green Day B-side "Governator".
• Dr. Svengali: The Network's manager, is the director of Disease is Punishment, John Roecker. Dr. Svengali and
the band claim that they are all members of the Church of Lushotology, which believes in "total intoxication."
The church may be a parody of The Church of the SubGenius, and the name is a parody of the controversial
Church of Scientology). (Cf. Svengali.)

Money Money 2020 (pronounced "money, money, two-thousand twenty") is the debut album by the New Wave
band The Network. It was released on September 30, 2003 through Adeline Records.
The album came with a DVD that featured six music videos for songs on the CD directed and produced by Roy
Miles of AntiDivision. It was re-released by Reprise Records on November 9, 2004. This release did not include the
DVD, but did include two additional tracks, "Teenagers from Mars" (which also appeared in the video game Tony
Hawk's American Wasteland) and "Hammer of the Gods".
The Network is reportedly partially formed from members of Green Day, though the band denied this before. This is
in spite of the fact that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's vocal style can clearly be heard on some tracks
on the album, as well as Green Day bassist/vocalist Mike Dirnt. The frontman left a message on the official Green
Day message board saying, "I bring them to this country, I produce their album, and how do they thank me? By
talking shit about my band? I've only got one thing to say: Fuck the Network. Bring it on."[citation needed]
Money Money 2020 is rumored to be related to the Green Day album entitled Cigarettes and Valentines due to the
album's release date and many other similarities. However, Armstrong denies this, as well.
In a recent live show, the Foxboro Hot Tubs, one of Green Day's side projects, covered the song "Supermodel
Robots."
The song "Roshambo" was featured in the video game NHL 2005.
The song "Teenagers From Mars" was featured in the video game "Tony Hawk's American Wasteland."

Foxboro Hot Tubs is the garage rock side project of the four members of Green Day, formed in 2007.[3] The band
includes all members of Green Day, and features Kevin Preston of Prima Donna Their first album Stop Drop and
Roll!!! was released on April 22, 2008. The band is currently the one Green Day uses to book secret shows. Billie
Joe Armstrong and Jason White go by the names Reverend Strychnine Twitch and Frosco Lee respectively.[4][5]

History

Background and Stop Drop and Roll!!! (2007-2009)


The band was brought to the attention of Green Day fans through messages sent to a select few members of the Idiot
Club (Green Day's fan club) in December 2007, with three songs on their website. They formed with the idea that
they "love to play music and be spontaneous, and after a few late night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we
were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings". While the band's history is, as yet, unknown, they
comprise the official and backing members of Green Day (with the exception of Preston), who are performing
"garage" music under a nom de plume. Fans of Green Day have noted, on the band's MySpace site, many musical
similarities between the band and Green Day. Among the common traits listed are Billie Joe Armstrong's
"unmistakable" vocals and guitar playing (despite the fact that Armstrong doesn't play guitar in the Foxboro Hot
Foxboro Hot Tubs 303

Tubs), and a rhythm section which recalls the sound of Green Day's own Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool.
As speculation started to peak, Green Day confirmed that they were the Foxboro Hot Tubs, with Billie Joe
Armstrong stating, "The only similarity between Foxboro Hot Tubs and Green Day is that we are the same band".[]
He also went on to explain where the name "Foxboro Hot Tubs" came from, "The Foxboro Hot Tubs were a place
we used to sneak booze and chicks into late at night. But most of the time it was just 'dude soup'." Foxboro is a
housing development located in Hercules, California.
On December 8, 2007, Green Day site released six tracks, in streaming and downloadable mp3 formats, free of
charge to the listener. Five days later, on December 13, the MP3s were taken off the site, which then displayed just a
clock. The MP3s were reinstated on December 16, but were again removed and replaced with the clock; later the
website was changed to simply redirect to the band's MySpace. All the tracks (apart from Highway 1) were included
on the band's debut album Stop Drop and Roll!!!, with the samples at the beginning removed. Soon after, the song
"Mother Mary" became a hit on alternative rock radio, hitting No. 16 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
"The Pedestrian" was released as the second single off the album.
The band made their television debut on Last Call with Carson Daly, with a week dedicated to Green Day, with
them performing at the end of every show on the week beginning June 15, 2009, and Green Day played on June 19,
2009. During this performance they played "Stop Drop and Roll" and "Mother Mary", bridging the two songs
together.

¡Dos! (2010-present)
On April 23, 2010, the band played their first new song since 2008 at a show in New York City called "Fuck Time".
On October 31, 2010 during the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour as Green Day, the band performed a brief set
as Foxboro Hot Tubs before the support band as a Halloween surprise at the Manchester MEN Arena.
On June 14, 2012, Green Day released a trailer for their upcoming album ¡Uno!. An erase board with new song titles
featured the Foxboro Hot Tubs song "Fuck Time" which had only been played live so far, indicating that it would be
released on Green Day's upcoming album trilogy; the song would later be used for the trailer of the album ¡Dos!. On
August 22, 2012, in an interview on BBC Radio One, Armstrong, confirmed that the song would appear on ¡Dos!
and stated that it could be a possible single.[6] In various interviews promoting Green Day's upcoming trilogy of
albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, they have stated that the album ¡Dos! would have "a Foxboro Hot
Tubs-garage kind of feel", even going so far to call it "the second Foxboro Hot Tubs album".[7][8]
On October 26th, 2013, The Foxboro Hot Tubs played a secret show at Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland, California.
Along with performing a majority of their album, they performed several songs from Green Day's album ¡Dos!.

Stop, Drop and Roll!!! is the debut studio album by the American rock band the Foxboro Hot Tubs. The full album
was first available for digital download on April 22, 2008, and was released on CD on May 20, 2008. The title track
"Stop, Drop and Roll" was featured in the 2010 American comedy film Get Him to the Greek, although it was not on
the soundtrack album.

Background and recording


The album was recorded while Green Day were writing their eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown; they
ended up recording this album as they "love to play music and be spontaneous, and after a few late night jams and a
few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings".[4] The album was
initially available as a free download on the band's website as a 6 track EP. These tracks would later go on to be on
the full album release (with the exception of the track "Highway 1", which was replaced by new track "Broadway").
On the free download, all the songs had samples from '60's and '70's films at the start; however, these were removed
for the final release.

Cover art and packaging


The original album art shown on the band's official website in December 2007 was updated for its full release in
2008 and had replaced the track "Highway 1" on the front cover with "Mother Mary" (the first single which also
turned into a surprise radio hit).
The physical album release comes with the CD in a cardboard sleeve reminiscent of vinyl records, with the CD face
resembling a vinyl record. The album is also referred to as having a "Side A" and "Side B" like vinyl-era albums.
The vinyl edition came with a free CD of the album.
The CD also came with a warning on "side A" that said "Warning: Do Not Play Side B."

Green Day related projects


Ever since 1991, some members of punk band Green Day have branched out past their "main band" and have started
other projects with other musicians and have released full-length albums and several EPs. Notable related projects of
Green Day include Billie Joe Armstrong's Pinhead Gunpowder (which also featured Green Day's live backup
guitarist Jason White), The Frustrators in which Mike Dirnt plays bass, and The Network which many speculate has
all three members of Green Day, although under stagenames.

Pinhead Gunpowder
Since 1991, Billie Joe Armstrong has been a member of Pinhead Gunpowder, providing guitars and vocals along
with Jason White. Prolific musician and Zine writer Aaron Cometbus (drums, lyrics), Green Day Road Manager Bill
Schneider (bass), round out the line-up. Primarily a "studio only" type of side-project, the band has done a scant few
rare shows, the last one occurring on February 12, 2010 at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. [1]. The band's
latest release was 2008's West Side Highway EP on Recess Records.

The Frustrators
Mike Dirnt also plays bass for the band The Frustrators, who are signed to Billie Joe's Adeline Records. They have
two releases on the label, the Bored in the USA EP and their first full-length album Achtung Jackass. Dirnt has a
Frustrators sticker on his bass that is very visible in Green Day's more recent videos, as does Billie Joe on his
Fernandes Stratocaster Copy. Members of the band are Jason Chandler (lead vocalist), Terry Linehan (guitar,
vocals), Art Tedeschi (drums), and Mike Dirnt (bass). Interestingly, all of the members are from other bands, Terry
Linehan from Waterdog, Jason Chandler and Art Tedeschi from Violent Anal Death, and, of course, Mike Dirnt
from Green Day.

The Network
In 2003, during time Green Day spent time in the studio, a New Wave band known as The Network was formed.
Four of the five members of the band are allegedly the four members of Green Day. The frontman, known only as
"Fink", is believed to be Billie Joe Armstrong. Armstrong has referred to himself as Wilhelm Fink in the past, and a
Pinhead Gunpowder fansite bio of Billie Joe Armstrong confirms Fink's identity.[2] Armstrong's voice is also
unmistakable on The Network's albums. The Network's bass player, known as "Van Gough," is supposedly Mike
Dirnt; The guitarist of the band, "Balducci", is also believed to be Jason White as they are both seen with a similar
guitar playing stance; and The Network's drummer, "The Snoo," is thought to be Tré Cool. The other members of the
six-piece band are reported to be members of the band Devo. John Roecker, director of Live Freaky Die Freaky,
starring Green Day and other East Bay punk alumni, and Green Day's DVD Documentary Heart Like a Hand
Grenade, has spoken of various projects recorded at Studio 880, including a New Wave album and a Christmas
album, during the sessions of Green Day's American Idiot. Studio 880 is the credited studio in The Network's Money
Money 2020 album and American Idiot. No official connection has been made between the two bands, and both
bands have defended, sometimes aggressively (in a probably staged press conference where some members from
both bands engaged in a heated argument that broke into a minor conflict), the lack of connection between the two.
Green Day's management has always declined to comment on the ongoing situation between Green Day and The
Network. On October 6, 2005, The Network agreed to support Green Day with Jimmy Eat World on the American
Idiot tour.

Foxboro Hot Tubs


During the first week of December 2007, a MySpace profile [3] appeared featuring a band whose lead singer's voice
"unmistakably" belonged to Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. Later that week, an official website [4], with
six downloadable mp3s, also came into fruition.
In early 2008 Green Day revealed that they are in fact, The Foxboro Hot Tubs. The band said in a e-mail to
MTV-News: "We think that the only similarity [between the Hot Tubs and Green Day] is that we are the same band.
That is basically the only similarity, We are Jason White, Jason Freese, Michael Pritchard, Frank Edwin Wright the
Third and the Reverend Strychnine Twitch... We are five guys who love to play music and be spontaneous,[and] after
a few late night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track
recordings."
Green Day drummer Tre Cool's real name is Frank Edwin Wright III, bassist Mike Dirnt is Michael Pritchard, and
the Reverend Strychnine Twitch is another one of Billie Joe's numerous alter egos. Jason White and Jason Freese
play in Green Day as well.
The record of the Foxboro Hot tubs is titled Stop Drop and Roll!!! and was released on May 13, 2008.
In May, 2008 the band made a small spring tour with eight dates. They supported Green Day in Manchester, England
at the MEN Arena on Halloween 2009, and played at The Garage in Islington on the 2nd November 2009.

Stage version of American Idiot


Berkeley Repertory Theatre has announced that a musical adaptation of Green Day's record American Idiot will
premiere as the first production of the theater’s 2009-10 season, and run from Sept. 4 through Oct. 11. The musical
will be a collaboration between Green Day and Michael Mayer (Tony Award winning director of Spring
Awakening). Green Day will not appear in the production, but the show will have an onstage band.

Official website http:/ / lookoutrecords. com/

Lookout Records was an independent record label based in Berkeley, California focusing on punk rock.

History
Larry Livermore and David Hayes formed the label in 1987. From the start, Lookout released punk rock records, but
over time expanded its scope to include various types of pop rock, reggae fusion, acoustic rock, pop punk, and indie
rock. Former Lookout bands that have since achieved major label success include Green Day and The Donnas.
Lookout became famous for releasing albums that featured a very distinctive pop punk sound including bands such
as Screeching Weasel, The Mr T Experience, The Queers, Crimpshrine, Green Day, Sweet Baby, Squirtgun, The
Wanna-Bes and others.
In recent years, a number of Lookout recording artists have ended their dealings with the label, rescinding their
master rights from the label and re-issuing albums on other labels. These bands have cited various reasons including
non-renewal of licensing agreements, distribution problems, and breach of contract over unpaid royalties. Among the
bands that have taken their masters from Lookout and reissued them on other labels are Screeching Weasel (on
Asian Man, then Recess Records), Avail (on Jade Tree), Pansy Division (on Alternative Tentacles), Blatz and Filth
(on Alternative Tentacles), The Dollyrots (on Blackheart Records), The Riverdales (on Asian Man), The Queers (on
Asian Man), The Lillingtons (on Red Scare Industries), Enemy You (also on Red Scare), and The Groovie Ghoulies
(on Springman Records). On August 1, 2005, Green Day became the biggest former Lookout act to rescind their
masters from the label, forcing Lookout to lay off its staff and halt new releases for the remainder of the year.
Operation Ivy rescinded their masters on May 4, 2006 and their album was reissued on Hellcat Records in November
2007.
On September 13, 2009 Larry Livermore commented on the name of the label on his blog, noting that the name is
often erroneously spelled with an exclamation point.
Lookout Records turned 20 years old in 2008. In December 2009, the company entered a major financial
reconstruction period. The label officially closed in January 2012.[1]

Warning Cigarettes and American


(2000) Valentines Idiot
(Unreleased) (2004)

Cigarettes and Valentines was an unreleased studio album from punk rock band Green Day that would have been
the proper follow-up to 2000's Warning. In the summer of 2003, the album was nearly finished when the master
recordings of 20 tracks were stolen from the studio. Instead of re-recording the album, the band decided to start from
scratch, leading to the creation of American Idiot.

History
Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said the album's material was "good stuff". Musically, the material on Cigarettes
and Valentines was hard, "quick-tempoed punk" songs in the vein of Green Day's Kerplunk and Insomniac. This
sound would have contrasted the group's previous two studio albums, Nimrod and Warning, which displayed more
rock and folk punk genres respectively. Bassist Mike Dirnt described the band's decision of returning to the sound
found on their older albums, stating, "We've had a nice break from making hard and fast music and it's made us want
to do it again." However, Green Day would later call the theft a "blessing in disguise", believing the album wasn't
"maximum Green Day". Dirnt admitted that backups of the tapes were made but claims that "it just wasn't the same
as the originals". Cigarettes and Valentines was never even roughly mixed, according to various interviews with the
band, hence no "legitimate" versions of songs, track lists, and artwork exist.

Controversy regarding The Network


The Network's album Money Money 2020, released on September 30, 2003, through Billie Joe Armstrong's Adeline
Records, was speculated by some fans as being a re-recording of the album, or to contain aspects of it. Armstrong
has denied any connection between the two projects in various interviews.

Live performances and other appearances


The title song, "Cigarettes and Valentines" was first played live at the concert in Greenwood Village, Colorado on
August 28, 2010, during the band's concert at the Comfort Dental Amphitheatre while on their 21st Century
Breakdown World Tour. This show was being filmed to eventually contribute to the forthcoming live album, leading
to speculation that some of the songs from the Cigarettes and Valentines sessions would eventually be released.
During the same performance Green Day also performed the song "Olivia", which also originates from these
unreleased sessions. These songs were also performed during other dates on the same tour. "Cigarettes and
Cigarettes and Valentines 348

Valentines" saw an official release on Awesome as Fuck. "Too Much Too Soon", a B-side on the "American Idiot"
single, was a track originally from Cigarettes and Valentines, as was "Walk Away", a track re-recorded for ¡Tré!,
released in 2012.[citation needed] On February 14, 2011, the official lyric video for the song was released on Green
Day's official YouTube channel. Four days later, the official video for the song was released there as well. A live
promo single was released on February 21, 2011 containing 2:43 of the performance in Phoenix, Arizona (the shots
of the crowd are from the concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina).

American Edit is a mashup album released by Party Ben and Team9 under the shared alias Dean Gray. Its primary
basis is the Green Day album American Idiot — the name "Dean Gray" is a spoonerism of "Green Day."

Release and aftermath


The album was an internet-only release with no intent of commercial gain; Dean Gray asked fans who enjoyed the
album to donate to charities Green Day had been known to support. Nevertheless, only 10 days after its November
18, 2005, release, the American Edit website was shut down, reportedly after receiving a cease and desist order from
Green Day's label, Warner Records, despite the fact Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong expressed an interest in
the album after hearing on the radio "Boulevard of Broken Songs." The website returned online soon after but
without inclusion of the music.
Despite the cease and desist, the album endured through word of mouth and fan protests staged in support of the
album. Following the shutdown, 91X, a radio station in San Diego, aired the entire album. Soon after, on December
13, 2005, a fan-organized event referred to as "Dean Gray Tuesday" (a reference to 2004's Grey Tuesday) was staged
as a protest against the shutdown, in which the album was uploaded to a number of participating websites as torrents,
direct MP3 downloads or ZIP archives. Video clips of "Dr. Who on Holiday," "American Jesus," and "Boulevard of
Broken Songs" were also made available. The shutdown and protest contributed to international press coverage
beyond the music industry.
An edited, four-song version of American Edit was performed as a "mashup rock opera" at the Bootie 3-Year
Anniversary Party at DNA Lounge in San Francisco on August 11, 2006. Entitled Dean Gray - American Edit: The
Theatrical Experience, the show – presented by the band Smash-Up Derby and starring performance artist Foxy
Cotton – was a combination of live music, theatre, and visuals.
In 2008 an unofficial extended version of the album was released online at The Pirate Bay. Subtitled "Deluxe Edition
2008", this version of the album featured the same original 11 tracks plus and additional 4 new songs, "Can't Get A
Life," "Country Basket," "I Like American Idiots," and "Greenday Triple Tracker," from DJ Pegasus, who had no
part in the original album.
The track, "The Bad Homecoming", would precipitate an actual collaboration between U2 and Green Day in 2006: a
cover of "The Saints Are Coming." August 10, 2009, the song was played by DJ Adam-12 of Boston's WBCN
during the station's four day farewell to analog broadcasting.

Awards Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album

American Idiot is a one-act, through-sung stage musical, an adaptation of punk rock band Green Day's rock opera,
American Idiot. After a run at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009, the show moved to the St. James Theatre on
Broadway. Previews began on March 24, 2010 and the play officially opened on April 20, 2010. The show closed on
April 24, 2011 after 422 performances. While Green Day did not appear in the production, vocalist/guitarist Billie
Joe Armstrong performed the role of "St. Jimmy" occasionally throughout the run.
The story, expanded from that of the concept album, centers on three disaffected young men, Johnny, Will, and
Tunny. Johnny and Tunny flee a stifling suburban lifestyle and parental restrictions, while Will stays home to work
out his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend. The former pair look for meaning in life and try out the freedom and
excitement of the city. Tunny quickly gives up on life in the city, joins the military, and is shipped off to war. Johnny
finds a part of himself that he grows to dislike, has a relationship and experiences lost love.
The book was written by Armstrong and director Michael Mayer. The music was composed by Green Day and the
lyrics were by Armstrong. The score included all the songs from American Idiot and additional Green Day songs
from other sources, including 21st Century Breakdown, American Idiot b-sides, and a song called "When It's Time".
Reception to the musical was mixed. It was praised for its music and energy but was also criticized for lack of
emotional depth. The musical won two 2010 Tony Awards: Best Scenic Design of a Musical for Christine Jones, and
Best Lighting Design of a Musical for Kevin Adams. It also received a nomination for Best Musical. On February
13, 2011, it won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

Plot
Set in the recent past, the musical opens on a group of suburban youths living unhappily in "Jingletown, USA" and
saturated with TV. Fed up with the state of the union, the company explodes in frustration ("American Idiot"). One
of the youths, Johnny, goes to commiserate with his friend Will ("Jesus of Suburbia"). A third friend, Tunny, joins
the two and they party until they run out of beer, prompting them to pick up more at the local 7-Eleven. Tunny soon
exposes the do-nothing go-nowhere quicksand of their lives ("City of the Damned"). They get riled up, and Johnny
challenges his friends to engage ("I Don't Care"). Will's girlfriend, Heather, soon makes an appearance. She is
pregnant and doesn't know what to do ("Dearly Beloved"). Johnny borrows money and buys bus tickets to the city
American Idiot: The Musical 354

for the three young men, eager to escape suburbia. Before the boys are able to leave, Heather tells Will of her
pregnancy. With no other choice, he stays home ("Tales of Another Broken Home"). Johnny and Tunny depart for
the city with a group of other jaded youths ("Holiday").
While Johnny wanders the city and pines for a woman he sees in an apartment window ("Boulevard of Broken
Dreams"), Tunny finds it hard to adjust to urban life and is seduced by a television ad for the army ("Favorite Son").
Tunny realizes that his generation has been so numbed and apathetic that nothing, not even the bright lights of the
city, will excite him ("Are We the Waiting"). He enlists in the army.
A frustrated Johnny manifests a rebellious drug-dealing alter ego called St. Jimmy, and shoots heroin for the first
time ("St. Jimmy"). His newfound courage thanks to St. Jimmy and the drugs allow Johnny to make a successful
move on the girl in the window. Back in Jingletown, Will sits on the couch as his girlfriend's pregnancy progresses.
He drinks beer and begs for a release. Meanwhile, Tunny is deployed to a war zone, and is soon shot and wounded
("Give Me Novacaine").
Johnny spends the night with the girl he saw in the window, whom he calls "Whatsername". Johnny is smitten with
Whatsername and wants to celebrate, but St. Jimmy has other plans for them ("Last of the American Girls/She's a
Rebel"). Johnny and Whatsername go to a club, shoot drugs together, and have passionate sex. By this time, Will and
Heather's baby girl has been born, and Will is increasingly oblivious as Heather tenderly commits herself to her
baby's future ("Last Night on Earth").
Heather has had enough of Will's pot-and-alcohol-fueled apathy. Despite Will's protestations, she takes the baby and
walks out ("Too Much, Too Soon"). Around the same time, lying in a bed in an army hospital ("Before the
Lobotomy"), Tunny falls victim to the hopelessness he has seen during wartime and hallucinates. He and his nurse
engage in a balletic aerial dance ("Extraordinary Girl"). He quickly falls in love with her. His hallucination
disappears, and he's left with his fellow soldiers in agony ("Before the Lobotomy (Reprise)").
Back in the city, Johnny reveals the depth of his love for Whatsername as she sleeps ("When It's Time"). The
temptation of drugs, however, is too great; Jimmy forces Johnny to become increasingly erratic, and he eventually
threatens Whatsername (and then himself) with a knife ("Know Your Enemy"). Whatsername attempts to talk about
Johnny's behavior, while the Extraordinary Girl dresses Tunny's wounds and Will sits on the couch, once again alone
("21 Guns"). Johnny leaves a note for Whatsername, saying he has chosen Jimmy and drugs over her. Frightened and
fed up, Whatsername tells Johnny that he is not the "Jesus of Suburbia" and reveals that St. Jimmy is nothing more
than "a figment of [his] father's rage and [his] mother's love" ("Letterbomb"). She leaves him.
Hurt by Whatsername's departure, Johnny longs for better days ahead, Tunny longs for home, and Will longs for all
the things he's lost ("Wake Me Up When September Ends"). St. Jimmy appears and makes one last attempt to get
Johnny's attention, but that part of Johnny has died, resulting in the metaphorical suicide of St. Jimmy ("The Death
of St. Jimmy"). Johnny cleans up and gets a desk job but soon realizes there is no place for him in the city ("East
12th Street"). Will, all alone with his television, bemoans his outcast state ("Nobody Likes You"). As he finally gets
up off the couch, Heather appears with her new show-off rockstar boyfriend ("Rock and Roll Girlfriend"). Will
heads to the 7-Eleven to get away from them and, surprisingly, finds Johnny there. Johnny had sold his guitar for a
bus ticket home. Tunny returns from the war zone (as an amputee) with the Extraordinary Girl. As Tunny introduces
his friends to the Extraordinary Girl, Johnny becomes furious with him for leaving the group, but quickly forgives
him and the three friends embrace. Heather and her boyfriend arrive. In an uneasy truce, she gives the baby to Will.
Other friends show up to greet the three men they haven't seen in a year ("We're Coming Home Again"). One year
later, Johnny laments that he lost the love of his life, but he accepts that he can live inside the struggle between rage
and love that has defined his life. With this acceptance comes the possibility of hope ("Whatsername").
After the cast takes their bows, the curtain rises to reveal the entire company with guitars, with which they perform
the song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". Each performance of this song was recorded and given to the
audience as a free digital download.

Background
In 2000, Green Day released the album Warning. Village Voice music critic Robert Christgau compared Warning to
the band's previous album (Nimrod), and noted that "[Billie Joe Armstrong is] abandoning the first person. He's
assuming fictional personas. And he's creating for himself the voice of a thinking left-liberal." Christgau also
detected "a faint whiff" of the work of the theatrical composer/lyricist team of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. The
trend of writing in the third person came to fruition with Green Day's next studio album, American Idiot in 2004. The
first new song Green Day wrote was the single "American Idiot".
One day, bassist Mike Dirnt was in the studio recording a 30-second song by himself. Armstrong decided that he
wanted to do the same, and drummer Tré Cool followed suit. Armstrong recalled, "It started getting more serious as
we tried to outdo one another. We kept connecting these little half-minute bits until we had something." This musical
suite became "Homecoming", and the group subsequently wrote another suite, "Jesus of Suburbia".
Green Day made the record an album-long conceptual piece which was a response to the realities of the post-9/11
era. The band took inspiration from the concept records by The Who., sources in the musical theater repertoire like
The Rocky Horror Show and West Side Story, and the concept album-cum-stage musical Jesus Christ, Superstar.
American Idiot: The Musical 356

Armstrong also said the band intended "that it would be staged or we'd create a film or something... we were
thinking in terms that it kind of felt like scoring a movie."
Director Michael Mayer heard the album and expressed an interest in adapting it for the stage. When he approached
the band regarding a collaboration, they agreed to work with him. The band also gave Mayer a wide latitude for his
adaptation after seeing his earlier work in Spring Awakening. Though additional songs were included from the Green
Day catalog, Mayer added very little dialogue to the show. He felt instead that the music and lyrics were expressive
enough on their own, and even removed some of the dialogue that was part of the Berkeley production before the
show moved to Broadway.

Production history

Berkeley tryout
The musical premiered at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Previews began on September 4, 2009 and the official
opening was on September 15, 2009. After becoming the top-grossing show in the theatre's history, the producers
extended the limited run twice to November 15, 2009. The cast included John Gallagher Jr. as Johnny, Matt Caplan
as Tunny, Michael Esper as Will, Tony Vincent as St. Jimmy, Rebecca Naomi Jones as Whatsername, Mary Faber as
Heather, and Christina Sajous as the Extraordinary Girl.

Broadway
The musical transferred to the St. James Theatre on Broadway, with previews beginning on March 24, 2010. It
officially opened on April 20, 2010. The cast for the Berkeley Repertoire production was retained for the Broadway
production, with the exception of Matt Caplan who was replaced by Stark Sands. It was rumored that the show cost
between $8 million and $10 million to produce. After six months of performances, the show was "still a ways off
from possibly turning a profit" according to a The New York Times report.
Tom Kitt was the music supervisor and orchestrator for both the
Berkeley and Broadway productions. The lead producers for the
show were Ira Pittelman and Tom Hulce. In addition to Pittelman
and Hulce, Broadway producer Vivek Tiwary, whose experience
included Raisin in the Sun and The Addams Family, also joined
American Idiot's team of producers. The creative team for the
show was largely the same as for the musical adaptation of Spring
Awakening: director Michael Mayer, scenic designer Christine
Jones, and lighting designer Kevin Adams. Olivier Award winner
The marquee above the St. James Theatre after the
Steven Hoggett was the choreographer. Andrea Lauer was the
350th performance of American Idiot
costume designer and Brian Ronan was the sound designer.

On September 26, 2010, Armstrong wrote on the official Green Day Twitter account that, from September 28 to
October 3, he would play the role of St. Jimmy. The announcement led to an immediate increase in the sale of tickets
at the St. James Theatre. Ticket sales for the week Armstrong performed were up 77%, average ticket prices
increased 22%, and gross sales increased 127% from the previous week's totals. The singer-songwriter filled in for
cast member Tony Vincent who took time off for personal matters; the week following Armstrong's run, St. Jimmy's
understudies, Andrew Call and Joshua Kobak, split covering the role. On November 30, 2010, the producers
announced that Armstrong would make another 50 appearances as St. Jimmy between January 1 and February 27,
2011.

Armstrong's Broadway performances were among a number of personal appearances he has made to help promote
the show. As a part of the promotion for the show, the cast performed at the Grammy Awards on January 31, 2010
American Idiot: The Musical 357

with Green Day. In addition to Armstrong's stint as St. Jimmy, singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge played the part
of St. Jimmy on Broadway from February 1–6, 2011, and Davey Havok of the alternative rock band AFI took the
role from March 1–15, 2011.
In the wake of weak sales following the departure of Armstrong from the role of St. Jimmy, The New York Times
hinted that the producers could soon post a closing notice for the production. The Broadway production was then
scheduled to close on April 24, 2011 after 27 previews and 421 performances. Armstrong returned to the role of St.
Jimmy for the final three weeks.

Tours
It was announced on February 11, 2011 that the musical would begin a national touring production on December 28,
2011, in Toronto, Canada. The first national tour cast includes Van Hughes reprising his role as Johnny, Jake Epstein
as Will, Scott J. Campbell as Tunny, Leslie McDonel as Heather, Gabrielle McClinton as Whatsername, Nicci
Claspell as The Extraordinary Girl, and Broadway alumnus Joshua Kobak as St. Jimmy. The ensemble included
Talia Aaron, Krystina Alabado, Gabriel Antonacci, Larkin Bogan, Kaitlyn Terrill: due to a torn ACL could not
continue on with the show and was replaced by Jennifer Bowles, Matt Deangelis, Dan Gleason, Kelvin Moon Loh,
Tommy McDowell, Jillian Mueller, Okieriete Onaodowan, Jarran Muse as Favorite Son, and Vince Oddo. A
non-Equity second U.S. tour launched in the late summer of 2012.
On December 1, 2011, it was announced that the musical would be touring the UK, as well as Ireland, in Autumn
2012. The tour will visit Manchester, Southampton, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham and London.
The cast includes Alex Nee as Johnny, Casey O'Farrell as Will, Thomas Hettrick as Tunny, Kennedy Caughell as

Green Day re-released the single "21 Guns" with the musical cast on Spinner.com on December 3, 2009. This
version features Billie Joe Armstrong, together with Christina Sajous, Rebecca Naomi Jones, Mary Faber and Stark
Sands, with backup from the rest of American Idiot cast. Another version was released with John Gallagher, Jr.,
Michael Esper, and Sands singing the parts that Armstrong had previously sung. Green Day and the cast of the
musical also performed the song at the 2010 Grammy Awards on January 31, 2010.
The original cast recording of the musical was released on April 20, 2010. The cast album includes all the songs
featured in the musical plus a brand new recording of "When It's Time" by Green Day. The album won Best Musical
Show Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Reception
Reviews for the Berkeley Repertory Theatre production were mixed. Charles McNulty of latimes.com called the
show "kinetically entertaining in a way that intentionally reflects the shallow, media-saturated culture the album rails
against". Karen D'Souza of MercuryNews.com called the production "a thrashing collage of songs fused together
with hypnotic movement and eye-popping visuals" and thought the show "as compelling as it is abstract [and]
channels the grungy spirit of punk while also plucking at the heartstrings." However, Jim Harrington of the Oakland
Tribune compared the show unfavorably to the original album, writing: "[what] once was a fine Gouda, has been
prepackaged as Velveeta", and continued sarcastically, "In other words, it should do big business on Broadway."
Charles Isherwood of The New York Times commented that the show contained "characters who lack much in the
way of emotional depth or specificity, and plotlines that are simple to the point of crudity" but also felt that "the
show possesses a stimulating energy and a vision of wasted youth that holds us in its grip."
Isherwood's review for the Broadway production was enthusiastic. He called the show "a pulsating portrait of wasted
youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions... only to transcend them through the power of its music and
the artistry of its execution, the show is as invigorating and ultimately as moving as anything I’ve seen on Broadway
this season. Or maybe for a few seasons past." Jed Gottlieb of the Boston Herald enjoyed the premise of the show
but found that "the music and message suffer in a setting where the audience is politely, soberly seated". Michael
American Idiot: The Musical 359

Kuchwara of the Associated Press found the show to be "visually striking [and] musically adventurous", but noted
that "the show has the barest wisp of a story and minimal character development". Paul Kolnik in USA Today
enjoyed the contradiction that Green Day's "massively popular, starkly disenchanted album ... would be the
feel-good musical of the season". Time magazine's Richard Zoglin opined that the score "is as pure a specimen of
contemporary punk rock as Broadway has yet encountered [yet] there's enough variety.... Where the show fall short
is as a fully developed narrative." He concluded that "American Idiot, despite its earnest huffing and puffing, remains
little more than an annotated rock concert.... Still, [it] deserves at least two cheers – for its irresistible musical energy
and for opening fresh vistas for that odd couple, rock and Broadway." Peter Travers from Rolling Stone, in his
review of American Idiot, wrote "Though American Idiot carries echoes of such rock musicals as Tommy, Hair, Rent
and Spring Awakening, it cuts its own path to the heart. You won’t know what hit you. American Idiot knows no
limits — it's a global knockout." UpVenue described the musical as a "groundbreaking piece of artistry," having the
"emotional charge of Rent," and congratulated Green Day for immortalizing American Idiot and 21st Century
Breakdown.

Awards and nominations


American Idiot won a total of 6 awards from 20 nominations. At a meeting of the Tony Administration Committee
on April 30, 2010, the score of American Idiot was deemed ineligible for a Tony Award for Best Original Score
nomination because less than 50% of it was written for the stage production.

Film adaptation
In 2010, Tom Hanks and his production company, Playtone, optioned the musical to create a film version. On April
13, 2011, it was announced that Universal Pictures had begun initial negotiations. Dustin Lance Black has been
selected to adapt the screenplay from the musical for the film. Michael Mayer, who also directed the Broadway
version, will be directing the film while the producers will be Green Day, Pat Magnarella, Tom Hanks, Gary
Goetzman and Tom Hulce (who also served as producer of the Broadway production). Magnarella is Green Day's
manager and was a producer for the band's live albums Bullet in a Bible, Awesome as Fuck, and the documentary
Heart Like a Hand Grenade. Rolling Stone reported that Billie Joe Armstrong would be starring as St. Jimmy in the
film, and that it was set for a 2013 release date. However, Armstrong later posted on his Twitter account that he
hadn't "totally committed to St. Jimmy for the AI movie. Yes, I'm interested. Yes someone jumped the gun..."

Broadway Idiot
On January 23, 2013, it was announced that a documentary showing Armstrong's journey from punk rock to
Broadway was to be released. Called Broadway Idiot and showing a lot of behind-the-scenes of the musical
production, the movie was directed by Doug Hamilton, veteran television journalist for CBS News' 60 Minutes and
PBS documentaries such as Nova, Frontline and American Masters. A trailer was released on January 30, 2013. The
documentary premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 15, 2013. On October 11, 2013, it was
released in some theaters and on video on demand by FilmBuff.
Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 63% of critics gave the film a positive review based on 19
reviews, with an average score of 5.8/10. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 based on
reviews from critics, the film has a score of 51 (citing "mixed or average reviews") based on 14 reviews.

Green Day: Rock Band is a music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games
and distributed by Electronic Arts. It is the fifth major console release in the Rock Band music video game series
and, like other games in the series, it allows players to simulate the playing of rock music by using controllers
shaped like musical instruments.
The game's setlist consists of songs by the American punk rock band Green Day. Green Day: Rock Band features
virtual depictions of the three band members performing the songs in new venues designed for the game. The game
incorporates existing Green Day songs already released for the Rock Band series as downloadable content, and
allows players to export its full tracklist to the other Rock Band game titles except The Beatles: Rock Band.
A free playable demo for the game was made available on May 25, 2010 for the Xbox Live Marketplace and on May
27, 2010 for the PlayStation Network. The demo features full, playable versions of two songs from the game,
"Welcome to Paradise" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
Green Day: Rock Band 362

Gameplay
Green Day: Rock Band allows players to perform simulated rock music by providing up to four players with the
ability to play three different controllers modeled after music instruments (a guitar controller for lead guitar and bass
guitar gameplay, a drum controller and a microphone for vocals). Players simulate the performance of rock music by
using their controllers to play scrolling on-screen notes. For lead and bass guitar, this is accomplished by holding
down colored buttons mimicking guitar frets and pushing the controller's strum bar; for drums, this requires striking
the matching colored drumhead, or stepping on the pedal to simulate playing bass drum notes. When singing vocals,
the player must sing in relative pitch to the original vocals. A pitch indicator displays the singer's accuracy relative to
the original pitch. The game will support harmonies as introduced in The Beatles: Rock Band, allowing multiple
singers to perform the vocal portion. Harmonies will be added to the six songs already available as downloadable
content for the game when played in Green Day: Rock Band.
As in previous Rock Band games, successfully hitting the proper notes in sequence earns points for each player and
boosts their "performance meter". If a player fails to match the notes, their performance meter drops. If the meter
empties, that player is forced to drop out of play, temporarily silencing that instrument and causing the band's overall
performance to drop. Any player to drop out can be "saved" if another player activates "Overdrive", which is
collected by successfully completing specially-marked phrases, and for guitar and bass players, using the controller's
whammy bar to alter the pitch of marked sustained notes. Overdrive can also be used to temporarily increase the
amount of points the band earns. Activating Overdrive is specific to each "instrument". For guitar, the controller
must be temporarily shifted to an upright position; for drums, a specific drumhead must be hit at the end of a drum
fill when prompted; and for vocals, a noise must be registered by the microphone when prompted. The game does
not feature any "Big Rock Endings", which allowed players to improvise at the end of a song for additional scoring
as in the other Rock Band games, nor will including any clapping or tambourine sections for the vocalist player, due
to lack of places in Green Day's songs to include these features.
Immediately before playing a song, players must choose their difficulty level (ranging from "Easy" to "Expert"). A
"No Fail" mode has been carried over from Rock Band 2 and is accessible from the difficulty seleho chooses the
"Easy" difficulty. Players are also able to identify their handedness for guitar, bass, or drums before the start of or
during a song via the game's "pause" menu. Upon completing a song, the players are given a star rating, from 1 to 5
stars, or 5 gold stars for very high scores if all band members are playing on Expert.
Green Day: Rock Band features a Career mode similar to The Beatles: Rock Band, however, it allows the player to
immediately select any of the available songs and records to play from the start instead of stepping through specific
sets. The Career mode has a "meta-game" through various challenges that subsequently unlock additional rewards
(photographs or videos contained on disc), such as by completing every song in a specific set with a 4-star rating or
better. In addition, some challenges require the players' band to earn enough "cred" to unlock them; these additional
challenges three or four song challenges built around certain themes. A Quick play mode allows players to select one
of more of the songs available to the game to play outside of Career Mode.
A drum trainer mode will be available to help players become accustomed to the instrument controller. The trainer
will include a set of stock rhythms that are generic for most songs, and a set of "Tre's Greatest Hits" with drum
patterns and solos taken from Tre Cool's performances, including one "ferocious" solo that runs across two different
lessons.
Green Day: Rock Band 363

Instrument peripherals
All currently available Rock Band peripherals are compatible with their respective console version of Green Day:
Rock Band. Some controllers designed for Guitar Hero games will also work with Green Day: Rock Band. While
The Beatles: Rock Band received unique instruments bundled with the release, Green Day: Rock Band is a software
only release and will not be bundled with instruments of its own.

Development

Green Day: Rock Band features avatars of the band members, including Mike Dirnt (top, center) and Tré Cool, and
two real-life venues based on the band's tours, including the American Idiot World Tour performance on Milton
Keynes National Bowl (top) and the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour performance at the Fox Theatre in
Oakland, CA on April 14, 2009 (bottom).
Prior to mid-2009, only some music from Warner Music Group (which includes Green Day's label, Reprise Records)
had yet to be included in games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, with the gaming industry believing that the music
publisher was boycotting the music game genre over how little money they saw from the sales of the game; however,
both Warner Music Group and MTV Games stated that the lack of songs from the publisher was due to current
negotiations over new licensing costs. The two companies had reached a deal by June 2009, when a downloadable
pack of Green Day songs was made available to the Rock Band series, heralded by both companies.
Simultaneously, with the release of the song sack, speculation arose about more band-specific Rock Band titles to
accompany The Beatles: Rock Band, Green Day was mentioned among them most often. Though this was denied,
MTV and Harmonix, the team who works on all Rock Band titles, did state that they were working with a few artists
and announcements would be made soon. This was followed by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong leaking
that the band was working on a Rock Band project, but details were scarce. This was originally thought to be a track
pack disc similar to the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack or another pack of downloadable songs. Drummer Tré
Cool later confirmed that the band was approached by Harmonix during the development of The Beatles: Rock Band
Green Day: Rock Band 364

for the band-specific game, while Armstrong stated they first experienced a Rock Band game, specifically The
Beatles: Rock Band, at a cast party for the American Idiot musical performance in Berkeley, California. The game
was formally unveiled on December 12, 2009 at the Spike TV Video Game Awards 2009, Green Day announced the
game via a video and showed the first trailer. A subsequent press release by MTV Games confirmed that the game
would arrive on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii with the entire setlist being exportable to other Rock Band
titles. A 2010 release date was also stated. In addition, previous Green Day downloadable songs released for Rock
Band and Rock Band 2 will be included in the game.
Paul DeGooyer, Senior Vice President of MTV Games, stated that Green Day was selected as the next band to focus
on due to input from fans of the game. DeGooyer also claimed that Green Day's music lent itself well to the format,
as the music is both "fun to play" and also covers a range of genres from the band's early days in punk rock to their
modern, alternative-based works. MTV Games' Global Head of Sales Scott Guthrie believed Green Day has a larger
awareness for their target market (16 to 34-year old males) than The Beatles, and expected Green Day: Rock Band
would see better sales as a result. Harmonix's Chris Foster noted that the opportunity for making a Green
Day-specific game was a matter of happenstance; at the same time they had completed The Beatles: Rock Band and
were considering another band-centric game, the licensing deal with Warner Bros. Records presented the opportunity
to include a large amount of Green Day's work into the Rock Band series. The Harmonix team felt it best to provide
this as a stand-alone game as opposed to large DLC packs. The full game would also allow the developers to capture
the "energy" of the band's members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, as they perform their songs.
Armstrong noted that Green Day was approached "a long time ago by people who will remain anonymous" near the
time of release of American Idiot, prior to the popularity of rhythm games, but declined, believing it "didn’t feel
right" due to the "cutthroat" nature of the video game industry at that point.

Music selection
The game is the first Harmonix game to feature a full album in the game as shipped, with the entirety of American
Idiot, Dookie (except for hidden track "All By Myself"), and 21st Century Breakdown being playable. The inclusion
of the full album of American Idiot was the centerpiece of the game's development, according to Harmonix' Chris
Foster, due in part to the thematic nature of the album which is meant to be listened as a whole, as well as the
album's success and Broadway musical. This led the team to also including 21st Century Breakdown, an album
similar to American Idiot that is meant to be heard as one complete work; as Harmonix had already released six
songs from the album as downloadable content, they did not want to make those that had purchased the songs have
to pay for them again in the full game, and instead designed the game to immediately incorporate those songs into
the game if the player had already purchased them. Once these two albums were selected, Harmonix' CEO Alex
Rigopulos determined that they needed to include the full Dookie album, the major label debut of the band and one
of the most requested albums by Rock Band fans, in order to complete the experience. Though Harmonix had
considered including material from the earliest Green Day albums, 39/Smooth and Kerplunk, but master multi-track
recordings required by the Rock Band game engine to provide proper feedback when playing were not readily
available,. According to Cool, while the master tapes for Kerplunk exist, they are in poor shape and the process to
digitize them would destroy the tape; as such, Cool stated "We’re making sure we have the right dudes to do it" as
potential future downloadable content for the game. Harmonix opted against using live versions of songs on these
albums, feeling that the game needed to stay with the studio versions of the songs. Once Harmonix had selected to
focus on the three albums, they decided against including any additional non-Green Day songs, instead focusing on
rounding out the group's history to present a complete Green Day experience.
Green Day: Rock Band features songs with up to three parts of harmony, featuring the same functionality as The
Beatles: Rock Band. Harmonix noted that many of Green Day's songs are actually two part harmonies traded off with
other lines, such as in "Homecoming", the only song in the game that features a three-part harmony. They authored
the vocals on most of the songs to have the third vocalist (if present) singing the trade-off lines alongside the
two-part harmony singers. There is very little censoring of the lyrics; according to the project lead Chris Foster, only
Green Day: Rock Band 365

about four to five words across the entire game are muted. Harmonix considered their standards for inclusion of
songs to be similar to downloadable content, allowing for mature references to drugs and sex. Harmonix left intact
certain pairings of songs that "blended" together due to how they were released on media, such as "Brain
Stew/Jaded" and some songs on the American Idiot album. They opted to leave the pairing of "Chump" and
"Longview" as separate songs due to how "Longview" was eventually released as its own single.
Following the announcement of the bands 2012 album trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, it was announced that a DLC
pack, called Green Day 03, would feature four songs from the existing game, as well as the song "Oh Love" from the
album ¡Uno!. However this pack would only be available for Rock Band 3 and Rock Band Blitz and would not work
with Green Day: Rock Band.[1]

Art direction
The game includes three venues representing the historical progression of the band. "The Warehouse" is a fictional
venue set in 1994 that is based on a composite of "house parties and squats" where Green Day played before they
became popular, and where all the songs from Dookie will be played. Part of the design of this venue was inspired by
the clubs such as 924 Gilman Street where Green Day played before they were signed as a major label; as Green Day
was signed by a major label by the time they recorded Dookie, Harmonix opted not to make the venue exactly based
on 924 Gilman Street for historical accuracy. The National Bowl in Milton Keynes, England is used for American
Idiot and other albums, having been the site where the 2005 Bullet in a Bible CD/DVD was recorded and where the
band performed their first stadium show. The Fox Theatre in Oakland, California is used for songs from 21st
Century Breakdown, replicating the debut 21st Century Breakdown 2009 performance by the band there, being the
second show in the restored theater. Harmonix considered several other real-life venues based on past Green Day
performances. Woodstock '94 was one possibility, but the development team found it difficult to create the daytime
setting. The Hatch Shell in Boston was also considered, but the team felt that the venue has only regional awareness
and was also marred by the riot that occurred after the Green Day concert there in 1994. They also considered using
Madison Square Garden but determined that ultimately, it was not as interesting as the other venues. The band, in
their original meetings with Harmonix's Foster, wanted to make sure the game captured the "excitement of their live
concerts" and the accuracy of the venues they played at; Cool noted that the game "skips a lot" of the band's history,
but provided enough input on the band's history to "personalize [the game] and put our stamp on it".
The band members were modeled using motion capturing performed by actors hired by Harmonix, incorporating
video and concert footage to create avatars for each member unique to each venues. The band's support team helped
to take photographs of the band member's tattoos, and identified when they were received so that the Harmonix
artists could incorporate them properly into the avatars. All the songs, including the six Green Day songs previously
released as downloadable content, feature unique animations tied to each song. This was a different approach than as
taken for The Beatles: Rock Band, where they created snippets of framing and animation which could be easily
repackaged for other songs, including future downloadable content. Because of the integrated nature of the songs and
animations, there will be no further downloadable content available for the game. The game includes, as reward
items, over 100 photographs and 40 minutes of video footage pulled from Warner Bros. Records' archive of the
band. The video content has been pared down from over 20 hours of raw footage from concerts and studio records.
Some of the live video footage will be used as part of the 21st Century Breakdown venue backdrops. Many of these
rewards are specific to individual songs, such as photos taken during concert performances of the song, and thus
given as rewards for completing these songs.
Harmonix has partnered with Demiurge Studios to help develop the game; Demiurge had previously helped
Harmonix bring the Rock Band Track Packs to retail. Furthermore, Harmonix is working with design studio MK12,
who previously created the interstitial movies in The Beatles: Rock Band, and other studios to bring Green Day and
their band's bad game history into the game. The opening cinematic created by MK12 is done in a similar style to
what they made for The Beatles: Rock Band, spanning Green Day's career over a brief period of time.
Green Day: Rock Band 366

Soundtrack
The game features 47 tracks spanning the band's career, including two full albums—Dookie and American Idiot, and
twelve out of eighteen tracks from 21st Century Breakdown (with the remaining six tracks available in the "Plus"
edition of the game, or via pre-existing DLC). For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners, every song in the game can
be exported for use within Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and Rock Band 3 for a $10 fee, or included in the cost of the
"Plus" edition of the game or for pre-ordering the game at select vendors. Wii users can only export the songs into
Rock Band 3. The remaining tracks can also be acquired from the Music Store as of November 13, 2012, as
stand-alone or in packs corresponding to their respective albums (in the case of the three complete Green Day
albums available).

Green Day: Rock Band was generally well received by video game critics. Many critics noted the game follows the
previous dedication to presentation, audio, and playability that were seen in The Beatles: Rock Band, though some
believed it followed the formula too well to make it indistinguishable from the previous titles. Jack DeVries of IGN
could not think of any easy way to identify the game from other Rock Band titles; "People kept asking me how the
game was and all I could think to say was 'It's Green Day: Rock Band.'" Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica called the
game "paint by numbers rocking", commenting that the feature set is essentially the same as The Beatles. Patrick
Klepek of G4TV stated the game was "not as ambitious as The Beatles" but still came to help him appreciate the
band more.
While the two games have similar content, some reviews felt that Green Day was a weaker title due to the limited
number of venues compared with the Dreamscapes used in The Beatles, among other aspects. Johnny Minkley of
EuroGamer felt the additional content unlocked by playing through songs was "supplied in a way that feels separate
rather than woven in to enrich understanding and appreciation" of the band, and considered the game a "backward
step" from The Beatles. 1UP.com's Justin Haywald considered the title less of a tribute to the band and more of a
video game due to the need to repeatedly play content over and over again to unlock all of the included band's photos
and videos. Critics felt that Harmonix were successful at capturing the sense of being at a live performance of Green
Day through the detailed venues, animations of the band members, and banter and antics with the virtual crowds.
From a musical perspective of reviewers, the limited range of Green Day compared to the Beatles creates a much
less diverse experience compared to the previous game, diminishing the interest level for those not familiar with
Green Day: Rock Band 367

Green Day's music. Many stated that one's personal enjoyment of the game would strictly depend on their preference
for Green Day. While the inclusion of full albums was well received, some reviewers wished for more songs to be
included in the game, particularly from their mid-career albums. Minkley considered that by skipping over these
albums, "the experience is robbed of any real insight into Green Day's evolution" between Dookie and American
Idiot. However, despite the song selections, reviewers found Green Day's songs to be better suited to Rock Band than
The Beatles', in part to how enjoyable it was to play all the songs regardless of the instrument used, and without
having to chart atypical instruments, such as piano or cello, to the instrument parts. Reviewers found the guitar
portions to be challenging but not impossible due to the endurance of the chord-heavy part. DeVries found the vocal
harmonies mechanics to be better suited to Green Day, as with the lyrical trade-offs in many of the songs, "it's less
about trying to sing at a slightly higher pitch and more about just having fun". Critics also commented the use of
censored radio edits to maintain the game's Teen rating, and felt this weakened the music included in the game. The
ability to export the game's songs to other Rock Band was well received. However, Lou Kesten of the Associated
Press noted that the added cost to export the game, as well as the cost of the additional six tracks available as
downloadable content, made it feel that "MTV is nickel-and-diming its loyal audience".
Sales of Green Day: Rock Band within the month of June 2010 was considered "paltry" by industry analysis Doug
Creutz, with only 82,000 units sold in North America.
