Green Day The name Green Day came from the term for a day that a person is high on marijuana (green). Although the members of the band grew up with this drug, they also were very devoted musicians. The members include Billie Joe Armstrong (lead vocals and lead guitar), Mike Dirnt (backing vocals and bass) and Tré Cool (drums).

The band started out as a local punk band in Berkeley, California, mainly perfoming at the local club 924 Gilman Street. However, in 1994, they made it big with their newly released album Dookie. Everything went uphil from there for Green Day, including their other albums Kerplunk, Nimrod, Shenanigans, Warning, Insomniac, and rock opera American Idiot.

The band has sold over 60 million records worldwide, and the main genres for the band are pop punk and alternative.
