Green Day is a pop punk/rock band from Northern California (Berkley to be precise) with a hook and a dream. The band isVocalist/Guitarist BillieJoe Armstrong, Bassist Mike Dirnt, and Drummer Tre Cool. While getting their musical education at punkstaples like The Gilman Project, GreenDay released two wildy popular underground LP's, 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours(the only album with drummer John Kiftenmeyer) andKerplunk (The first album with Tre Cool.) After the success of these twoLP's, Record Companies were chomping at the bit to sign these guys.They eventually signed with Reprise Records, shunningtheir Gilman Street fanbase to go bigtime.
Riding the commercial pop appeal of such classics as "Longview" and "Basket Case", their major record debut, Dookie,changed the face of music.Bands were now looking for that charm and laziness Green Day enabled in their music. Theirfollowup, Insomniac, was even more criticallyacclaimed, and Green Day was literally on top of the world. The 1997 release ofNimrod saw Green Day going in a more poppy direction, withsongs like the teen classic "Good Riddance". The poppyness onlygrew to a higher level with 2000's Warning. With Warning, it felt as though GreenDay lost their punk. They were men now,and how could they pretend to hate their parents when they are parents themselves?.
After Warning's release, it appeared Green Day fell off the face of the earth. But the triumphant reinvention of the band,2004's American Idiot putthem right smack in the mainstream again, only this time to a higher level than ever before. Theirpolitical views finally came across in neon lightson American Idiot, much to the chagrin of the fans of their masturbationanthems. Green Day released Bullet In A Bible, a concertfilm/documentary in late 2005. They have just finished touring andare currently working on other projects/writing new album material. « hide |
