• Green Day is an American
musical group consisting of three
core members: Billie Joe
Armstrong (guitar, lead vocals),
Mike Dirnt (bass) and Tré Cool
(drums). Their back up players
on guitar, keyboards, and trumpet
are Jason White, Jason Freese,
and Ronnie Blake. Green Day is
widely credited, along with
fellow California punk bands The
Offspring and Rancid, with
reviving mainstream interest in
and popularizing punk rock in
the United States during the mid
1990s. Their success has
influenced prominent pop punk
bands like Sum 41 and Good
Charlotte.
• The band has sold over 30
million albums in the United
States, and over 70 million
records worldwide, making
them the most successful
punk band of all time. Green
Day currently has three
Grammy Awards under their
belt for Alternative Album for
Dookie, Best Rock Album for
American Idiot and Record of
the Year for their single
"Boulevard of Broken
Dreams".
