History Of Green Day Name

Personal Green Day sekarang terdiri dari tiga orang. Yaitu Billy Joe pada vocal dan gitar, Mike pada bass, serta Tre Cool pada drum.
Green Day terbentuk berawal dari kegemaran Billy Joe yang suka bermain musik di garasi rumahnya. Kemudian Mike yang merupakan keponakan Billiy Joe, di akhir pekan berkunjung ke rumah Billy bersama ibunya.
Mike merasa tertarik untuk ikut bermain musik, namun dia sama sekali tidak bisa memainkan alat musik satupun. Akhirnya Billy mengajari Mike memainkan alat musik bass.
Mike merasa tertantang dan dia tidak mau pulang. Ibunya mengijinkan dia tinggal di garasi bersama Billy, tentunya untuk bermain musik. Dalam waktu singkat, Mike menguasai teknik memainkan bass yang cukup baik.
Billy tidak melanjutkan sekolahnya, dia juga tidak menamatkan SMA atau senior high school. Dia lebih suka bermain musik, dan menonton musik di panggung musik bawah tanah yang keras. Berbeda dengan Billy, Mike masih sanggup untuk menamatkan sekolahnya, karena dia merasa mempunyai tanggung jawab yang besar terhadap pengorbanan ibunya yang bekerja mati-matian untuk menyekolahkan dirinya.
Tanggung jawab itu semakin besar karena sejak kecil orang tua Mike sudah bercerai, dan Mike hanya dibesarkan oleh ibunya. Billy merasa kemampuannya dan Mike bermain musik sudah cukup layak untuk show di panggung musik bawah tanah yang keras tersebut.
Namun, karena umur keduanya yang masih muda serta tidak ada pengalaman manggung yang memadai, mereka pun gagal untuk unjuk kebolehan. Tidak diduga, salah satu drumer yang punya show record bagus di panggung tersebut, mau membantu Billy dan Mike untuk tampil di panggung tersebut. Secara mengejutkan, mereka bermain sangat baik dan seakan-seakan menghipnotis seluruh penonton.
Mereka pun menjadi band local yang terkenal, namun saat itu nama band tersebut masih bukan Green Day. Tidak perlu waktu lama, salah satu label lokal menawari mereka untuk membuat album. Dalam waktu singkat, album mereka ludes di pasaran. Yang paling fenomenal adalah, saat album pertama keluar, umur Billy dan Mike belum genap 17 tahun.
Setelah serangkaian tur yang dijalani, drumer mereka memutuskan untuk memundurkan diri dan lebih memilih melanjutkan studinya di luar kota. Billy dan Mike menjadi putus asa dan berhenti bermain musik untuk sementara waktu.
Saat Billy sedang menontn pertunjukkan musik di panggung bawah tanah, dia melihat Tre Cool sedang tampil bersama saudara dan tetangganya.
Personal sekaligus manajer band tersebut, mempertemukan Tre Cool dengan Billy dan Mike. Mereka pun mencoba untuk nge-jam bareng, dan menemukan kecocokan dalam bermain musik. Akhirnya mereka memutuskan untuk manggung bareng dan Tre Cool pun mau bergabung bersama Billy dan Mike. Permainan drum
Tre Cool sangat baik dan bisa mengisi kekosongan pada band. Mereka pun banyak tur ke luar kota, dan salah satu label besar betaraf internasional menawari mereka untuk bekerja sama dalam proses pembuatan album.
Namun, salah satu tradisi panggung bawah tanah adalah, jika band yang mereka puja di panggung bawah tanah tersebut menerima tawaran dari label besar, maka secara spontan mereka akan membenci band tersebut.
Ini menjadi dilema bagi tiga remaja tersebut, terutama Billy. Billy tidak ingin dibenci oleh panggung yang telah menjadi roh dalam hidupnya, namun disisi lain Billy menginginkan kontrak kerja tersebut.
Setelah beberapa lama memikirkan hal ini, mereka sepakat untuk menerima tawaran kontrak kerja pembuatan album tersebut.Pergantian nama terjadi, saat suatu hari mereka bertiga menghisap ganja seharian, dari pagi sampai sore. Mereka menyebut hari itu sebagai “green day”, dan mereka sepakat nama Green Day dijadikan nama baru band mereka sampai saat ini.

News : Power Pop Of Green day



Setelah diberitakan akan menggandeng Butch Vig untuk menjadi produser album terbarunya Green Day nanti, ternyata Billie Joe Armstrong (vokalis band Green Day) saat ini juga sedang banyak mendengarkan band-band beraliran Power Pop, seperti The JAMS, The WHO, Buzzcocks, dan juga The Beatles. Hal ini diungkapkan olehnya sewaktu diwawancarai oleh altprees.com beberapa waktu lalu, dia berkata, “Gue seneng banget mengaransemen sebuah lagu baru, moment seperti itu rasanya its better than sex, believe me. Dan saat ini gue lagi senang-senangnya bagaimana mengaransemen sebuah lagu yang bernuansakan musik yang berirama Power Pop. Gue lagi demen banget masukin semua unsur musik dari The Creation, The Jams, The Who, BUzzcocks, The Beatles, hingga Cheap Trick, lalu semua itu gue coba kombinasiin menjadi sebuah kunci gitar bernada 3 chord yang bakalan gila banget, ngerti maksud gue gak? Jadi, saat ini gue sendiri lagi mem-push diri gue sendiri untuk menjadi progressive banget dalam hal menulis lagu dan juga menulis lirik, intinya Power Pop muik itu bener-bener awesome man, its truly Beautifull” ucap Billie Joe. Dan Billie Joe pun memberikan komentarnya terhadap Butch Vig perihal tentang akan banyaknya unsure Power Pop di album terbaru Green Day, “Dia memberikan semua kemampuan terbaiknya untuk memproduseri kita, I mean, he gets Psyched on a F..cking metronome, and that’s inspiring to us a lot. Dia bukan typical seorang produser yang suka mengumbar kata-kata, dia adalah seorang produser yang sangat professional dan pekerja keras, dan juga dia seorang yang sangat straight forward for everything, so we respect him for everything what he;s done so far” ucap Billie Joe lagi. Jadi penasaran neh sama album barunya Green Day, secara musiknya Power Pop, kira-kira bakalan gimana yah jadinya kalau di mix sama 3 kunci khas musik Punk rock?

# (To LAUNCH.com on the US's action after the WTC bombings): "I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it's terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it's definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself."
# (On Who's Most Accident Prone): "It used to be Mike, but lately I've been catching up."
# (On MTV): "I don't see anything on it, all I see is shows. There is never anything on it. Just MTV talking about how cool MTV is."
# "Mmm, you can almost smell the burning pork...Hey, you ever thrown rocks at cops?"
# "You know, I knew the day that George Bush was elected president that we were in deep, deep sh-t. I knew it. I was like, 'Well, some sh-t's gonna hit the fan now,' 'cause, you know, the Bush family's been in the politics business for way too long to not have crazy enemies."

# On Good Riddance: Time of Your Life): "Putting that song on our record was probably the most punk thing we could do."
# "Green day is like sex, when were good, were really good, when were bad . . . were still pretty damn good."
# (At Mark Hoppus of blink-182): "Stop throwing shit or I'll jump in there and beat your ass."
# (Speaking of blink-182): "Seriously, at first I was happy for them, but now I find it a little irritatign. I think they trivialise what we do, and punk rock in general. It's like throwing shit in the face of something or someone that had substance at one point. Didn't one of the members marry someone from MTV? I mean, what the fuck? But if any band should be pissed off at them then isn't NOFX."
# "Then all of a sudden we got introduced to punk music and it was the coolest fuckin' thing"
# "I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons."
# "All my religious beliefs are based on Star Wars."
# "There are weeks when I'll spank a lot, and other weeks I'll be apathetic and lonely and won't want to look at my cock."
# "I don't really listen to it...I'm agnostic." (When asked about if he liked UK pop music)
# "Now are any of these vegetables magic? I mean if I rub that bean on my foot will I run faster?"
# "I'm gonna be cremated. I don't want to be stuck in any box. Maybe they'll bury me upside down and plant a seed in my ass."
