Em 1987 Mike Dirnt, Billie Joe Armstrong e “Jonh Kiftmeyer” (Al Sobrante), fundaram a banda “Sweet Childrem” (Querida Criança), um nome um pouco fora do habitual, era uma banda que normalmente tocava em pizzarias e em festas. Algum tempo depois eles conseguiram assinar um contrato com a editora “Lookout Records” e mudaram o nome da banda para o actual “Green Day” (Dia Verde).Em 1991 lançaram o seu primeiro álbum com o nome de “1.039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours”, um nome um bocadinho grande, mas foi um álbum de muito sucesso na zona. Foi então que o baterista “ Jonh Kiftmeyer” anunciou que ia sair da banda, nessa altura a banda preparava se para gravar o seu segundo álbum e foi ai que convidaram o actual baterista “Tré Cool” e em 1992 lançaram o álbum “Kerplunk” e foi um álbum que fez com que a reputação da banda aumenta se e tornando se a banda mais produtiva da editora “Lookout Records”, mas em 1993 a banda deixou esta editora e foram contratados pela editora “Reprise Records” e em 1994 lançaram o álbum mais elogiado até à altura “Dookie”, contudo o sucesso repentino levou ao ciúme e as pessoas começaram a chamar à banda um grupo de vendidos.
Em 1995 até 2002 a banda lançou 5 álbuns “Insomniac”, “Nimrod”, “Warming”, “International Superhits” e “Shenaningans”.
Em 2004 lançaram um dos meus álbuns preferidos “Americam Idiot”, este álbum ganhou um “Grammy” de melhor álbum de Rock em 2005.
Para mim é um dos melhores álbuns de Rock até agora da banda. Agora a banda prepara se para gravar o seu nono álbum com a parceria dos “U2", tendo já editado uma música “ The Saints Are Coming”.
A banda é constituída por (da esquerda para a direita):
» Billie Joe Armstrong – Vocalista e Guitarrista;
» Mike Dirnt – Baixista;
» Tré Cool – Baterista.
My favourite musics:
American Idiot
Don't want to be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive andI walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
I walk alone, I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone......
Holiday
Say, hey!!!
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame, Hey!!!
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery", Hey!!!
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line, Hey!!!
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen?, Amen!!!
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men, Hey!!!
A bag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hey!!!,Say, hey!!!
The representative from California has the floor
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!!!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday......
