Product Description

Product Description

California punk trio Green Day took a grunge-obsessed music scene by complete surprise in 1994 with their major - label debut album Dookie, which jump started a new punk revolution and went on to sell over 10 million copies. Six albums and 15 years after the group was formed, Green Day had become an institution credited with inspiring a host of like-minded bands, and lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool were known as the Godfathers of Pop Punk. The band, however wasn't content to sit back on their elder statesmen punk laurels and instead pulled a fast one in the form of a wildly ambitious punk rock opera entitled American Idiot. The album hit the charts at no less than number one, garnering major Grammy recognition, unanimous critical acclaim and multi platinum sales worldwide. Here is Green Day's full story, from the band's humble beginnings focused around the Berkeley punk rock haven 924 Gilman Street to fully-fledged rock stardom. Featuring a host of photographs, a discography and a chronology, this comprehensive biography is a must of fans old and new.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, 15 Jul 2005
Wow! I'm the first one. Cool. So yeah the book is great. I got it for my b-day and read it in like a week. The way it tells the history of how Green Day started is spectacular. It talks about the very begining of when they were all kids, up to the amaizing sucsess of American Idiot. And of course the wonderful journy in between. The pictures in the book are great too. Even if you're a newbie to Green Day and don't even know the band players names, or if you think you know everything about them, you'll learn something new. It's very informative, and entertaining. I'd strongly suggest getting this book if you're a green day fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Great!, 30 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This book is great, it makes you feel like you've got to read it all at once, but not too fast or it'll be all over and then you can't read it anymore.
It is so good that I stayed up really late to read it and I felt ill for 2 days afterwards through lack of sleep.
It has everything that anyone could ever want to know (apart from Tre's birthday, it has Mike's and Billie-Joe's though!) and it starts from when they were playing gigs in people's basements to the victory of 'American Idiot'.
The only one bad thing that I could say is that all the quotes used are from magazine interviews, so they have to write which magazine, what year and which issue, which gets quite annoying, but the rest of the book is great, so you sorta get over that.
