Green Day is a rock band from California, consisting of Billie Joe Armstrong (lead vocals, guitar, and occasional harmonica), Mike Dirnt (born Michael Ryan Pritchard; bass, and backing vocals), and Tré Cool (born Frank Edwin Wright III; drums, percussion, and backing vocals). Since their sixth album, Warning:, the band has included close friend Jason Priestly as a back-up guitarist for live shows. Green Day is credited, along with bands like the Offspring, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid 1990s. Their success has influenced other prominent pop punk bands like Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. According to RIAA, Green Day has sold about 60 million records worldwide including more than 21 million in the U.S. alone. Image File history File linksMetadata Promo_greenday_pic. ...

Lawrence "Larry" Livermore, who played guitar for The Lookouts and ran the Berkeley independent label Lookout! Records, offered the band a record deal after having the band play. The band, he said, played like "The Beatles at Shea Stadium", according to Livermore's biography of the band on Lookout! Records' web page. In early 1989 they recorded their first EP, 1,000 Hours. Armstrong got his nickname, "Two Dollar Bill," from selling joints at that price ($2) at his high school. The song "Green Day", written by Armstrong, is about his first experience using marijuana.

In 1990, I.R.S. Records attempted to recruit Green Day, but they made it clear that they were loyal to Lookout! Records and that I.R.S. was a "cheesy" and "washed up" label. That April, Green Day released their first album 39/Smooth, and that summer they set out in a van on their first national tour. Before leaving, they recorded another four-song EP called Slappy. This release was followed by another four-song EP, Sweet Children, which included some older songs for the Minneapolis, Minnesota indie label Skene! Records. In 1991, 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours was released, which re-issued 39/Smooth with all the tracks from Slappy and 1,000 Hours.

After this tour, at the end of the summer of 1990, Al Sobrante left the band temporarily to attend college in Arcata, California. By this time the Lookouts had become mostly inactive, and Tré Cool, now 17 and living in Berkeley, began playing with Green Day as a temporary replacement.

In 1991, the band toured and played locally, building up a large fan following. In January 1992 they wrote and recorded their second album, Kerplunk!, which they released on Lookout! Records. The CD version also included the four tracks from the Sweet Children EP. They continued to tour through 1992 and 1993, expanding their tour to the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

The UK leg of the tour featured a notable appearance at The Rainbow, a Wigan social club. That gig would have been a standard stop on an independent pop-rock band's minor UK tour, were it not for one small fact: the band decided to use their set to stage their own version of the Nativity, featuring Armstrong as all three schizophrenic Three Wise Punks, Dirnt as Santa Claus and an off-taste version of the Virgin Birth featuring Cool as Mary, a roadie as Jesus and a bag of rice pudding and tomato ketchup as the Holy Placenta. This theatrical trait would become common practice for the band ten years later, only on a much larger scale.

Mainstream success with Dookie (1993–1995) By 1993, Green Day had sold about 55,000 copies of Kerplunk!, which was considered a large amount for the independent punk scene in those days, and attracted a great deal of attention from the major labels. Eventually they left Lookout on friendly terms and signed a deal with Reprise Records under one stipulation: that the band would have full creative control of their music. Signing to Reprise came as a blow to their image as they had stated many times while playing in Berkeley that they would never sign to a major label. The band had even gone as far as to write EMI Records stating that. The band was consequently outcast from the Gilman Street scene. 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."[1]. They spent the greater part of the year recording their major label debut, Dookie. Released in February of 1994, Dookie was a near-instant commercial sensation, helped by extensive MTV airplay for the videos "Longview", "When I Come Around", and "Basket Case".

That year Green Day embarked on a nationwide tour and chose queercore band Pansy Division as their opening act. At the time this was considered controversial; nonetheless, the tour was a huge success. The band also joined the lineups of both the Lollapalooza Festival and Woodstock 1994. Green Day's Woodstock gig included a gigantic mud fight between the band and the audience, leading to a mêlée in which Dirnt lost his front teeth. The band's popularity skyrocketed after the performance, and Dookie would eventually sell ten million copies. In 1995 Green Day recorded a single called "J.A.R." for the Angus movie soundtrack, and followed it up with the album Insomniac in the fall of 1995. It was a darker response to the poppy simplicity of Dookie. One track, "86," was a reference to the Gilman Street club refusing them entry after the release of Dookie, claiming that they had "gone too commercial." Though the album didn't approach the success of Dookie, it still sold two million copies in the United States. After that, the band abruptly cancelled a European tour, claiming exhaustion.

This new album, released to mainly positive reviews and mixed fan response in October 1997, combined everything from upbeat pop-punk ("Nice Guys Finish Last") to hardcore punk ("Take Back", "Platypus (I Hate You)") to surf instrumentals ("Last Ride In") to acoustic ballads, e.g. "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which is one of the group’s signature hits to date. The song was the official theme for the 1998 PGA Golf Tour, as well as being featured in the final episode of Seinfeld.

By this time, the members were starting their families, and it was becoming apparent that they were maturing as individuals and as a band. They wanted to take some time off to be with their families and enjoy life. So after the that Green Day had rescinded the master rights to their pre-Dookie material from Lookout! Records, citing breach of contract regarding unpaid royalties that had been ongoing for some time, and with other Lookout! bands as well. As of October 2005, it is unknown whether a label affiliated with the band (Reprise, Armstrong's own Adeline), a reissue specialist like Rhino, or another label entirely will reissue the Lookout!-era material. As a result of Green Day reclaiming the masters from Lookout! Records, the independent label laid off two thirds of its nine-person staff and delayed its new release plans for the rest of 2005.

The Network - Main article: The Network
In 2003, during time Green Day spent in the studio, a New Wave band appeared on the scene, known as The Network. Three of five members of the band are allegedly the three members of Green Day. The frontman, known only as "Fink", is 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. Armstrong's voice is also unmistakable on The Network's albums. The Network's bass player, known as "Van Gough," is Mike Dirnt; and The Network's drummer, "The Snoo," is thought to be Tré Cool. 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 their latest album. Studio 880 is the credited studio in The Network's Money Money 2020 album and Green Day's 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 then broke out in 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 The Network agreed to support Green Day with Jimmy Eat World on the American Idiot tour. Sources close to Green Day have been quoted as commenting "that's a really bad idea" and "can we just make them go away?"[2] The Network is a 6-piece New Wave band and a rumored side-project of Green Day, who released their debut album Money Money 2020, on the independent record label Adeline Records on September 30, 2003. ...
