Green Day are a punk band (the best
ever) from the San Francisco Bay Area, in the sunny state of California. Their
first album was 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy
Hours, which came out in 1990 from Lookout Records. Their next album
was Kerplunk from
Lookout in 1991, which made them popular nation-wide. After Kerplunk, Green
Day went to Warner Brothers Reprise Records, which was bigger than
Lookout. They became real famous in 1994 when they appeared on the Woodstock
festival, but when they released their third album Dookie, (sold over
8 million ex.) every one with some music taste just loved it. After Dookie, Green
Day's lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, got married and had a baby. But my
when I for the first time saw Basket Case video I thought "what the f***,
are these guy's some kind of psycho's (how wrong can a man get).
Later I realized my big mistake when a friend bought the album. So I ran
down to the record store and bought it. Since that day my live been
changed. And when I in 1995 heard what they presumably would release their
fourth album Insomniac, I
thanked to God all mighty, and bought it immediately it came to Sweden. Billie Joe says it is named Insomniac because most of it's songs were
written during sleepless nights with his new baby. Since Insomniac, Tre has
also gotten married. Now the gang have realized there 5:th album Nimrod, which
is the best punk album for now, according to the group and Billy says that
Nimrod is there best record ever. The Nimrod album have also showed a other side
of Green Day where Good Riddence is a step a side from there ordinary hard green
punk.
