Green Day: Band Members

American Band known with the stage name Green day is one of the best rock bands of the World. Since established from 1987 they have maintained their level of success with little bit ups and down in their popularity. 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. They got world wide recognition with their breakthough album Dookie which attained world wide acclaim. Overall they have sold around 65 million albums worldwide (22 million in US alone) and have won three Grammy awards for the Album Dookie and American Idiot and for the single Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Their first album to be certified platinum in the US was Kelplunk but Breakthrough performance was given by the Dookie album which was certified Diamond(10X Platinum) in the US and Canada, 3X in the UK, 4x in the Australia. The main singles of the album were Longview, Basket Case and When I come around. The later album Insomniac was very much successful and was able to 2 million copies in the United States. Later albums Nimrod, Warning were able to get little bit commericial success but it American Idiot released in 2004 which sold around 6 million copies in US and several million in other countries and brought band back to top in critical and commercial fame. Single like Boulevard of Broken Dreams won Grammy award and was considered the best rock song of the year. Other well-recognized singles were Wake me up when September ends, American Idiot. American Idiot proved to be one of the best albums of the band. After a big break they released their 8^th studio album In the May, 2009 entitled 21^st century Breakdown which was a success but can’t maintain the level of success which band got with American Idiot. But it was able to give Green Day best chart position to this date as album topped 14 different countries charts  with certified Gold or Platinum.

Outdriven guitar, fast, manic drums, and relatively high-treble bass in majority of their songs compares them with wave punk bands like Sex Pistols, Ramons, etc.
