Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987. The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, vocals), and Tré Cool (drums, percussion) for the majority of its existence.
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the US. and 15 million worldwide. As a result, Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day’s three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively. Green Day’s 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band’s popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the U.S.The band’s eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released on May 15, 2009.
Green Day has sold over 22 million records in the United States.They have won three Grammy Awards; Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

I agree with u piggyward, its cus they listen 2 crap and need to try and justify their rubbish by slagging off artists that are better than the stuff they listen 2 :D And they're an awesome band who continue to show they are a big part of alternative and punk rock.

Y do people come on a bands page just to fucking say 'oh their crap' and ' a load of shite'. The reason you should be on the page is to appreciate their music. So I say their a great band with loads of talent.

Saw them live a couple of days ago and it was an excellent show! Billie Joe is a hell of an entertainer and they even pulled a guy out of the crowd to play most of jesus of suburbia. I appreciate their new album so much more now that I have seen a portion of it live.
