Biography

Green Day are one of the most popular American rock bands of the last two decades, having sold over 60 million records worldwide.

It all started in 1989 when their first EP 1,000 Hours was released on the independent label Lookout! Records, with original drummer John Kiffmeyer (aka Al Sobrante).

5.0 out of 5 stars Everybody do the paranoia, December 20, 2006
This review is from: American Idiot (Bonus CD) (Chi) (Audio CD)
Who'd have thought it? The same three cartoonish clowns that titled an album "Dookie" and sang about "Pinhead Gunpowder" may have the best album of 2004 on the table with "American Idiot." Green Day suddenly abandons three minute two chord blasters and writes a play in 13 acts. Maybe they decided it was time to show upstart kiddy punkers like Blink, Sum or Avril exactly just how it's done.

All right, I'll admit the "cartoonish clowns" comment might be over the top. After all, I believe the lyric "Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once" is one of the most brilliant opening lines to a 90's song. That was almost 15 years ago, and some maturity had to creep in somewhere. Politics would come into play as well, and the title track suddenly ditches the old backdrops of mental wards and tweaking binges to shout at the "subliminal mind-fk America."

As soon as that rant ends, we are thrown into the twin tales of "St Jimmy" aka "The Jesus Of Suburbia" and his battle with his dual personalities. There are plenty of the usual three chord havoc bangers here, but more sophisticated arrangements appear in "Extraordinary Girl" and the ballad "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams." The suites of "Jesus Of Suburbia" and "Homecoming" are the best "Punk Opera" concept pieces since the mighty Husker Du roared forth with "Zen Arcade." Like that classic album, Green Day are out to prove that there is more to the world of punk than the preconceived notions and spiky haircuts.

For those still longing for "Kerplunk" etc, those albums are almost twenty years old. Get over yourselves, the band is grown both artistically and physically since then. They probably identify with the stuck in the past girlfriend who writes Jimmy (in "Letterbomb") "Where have all the b@s#ards gone, where have all the riots gone" just before she walks out on him. For Green Day and Jimmy/Jesus, like the great lot of us, the mohawk cut disappeared when the bald spot became more prominent. But that doesn't mean the Green Day creative brain fell out along with hair. They haven't caved into recording an album of standards, and that is something to be thankful for. Add on that Green Day has managed to crank out an album as diverse and powerful as "American Idiot" without abandoning much of what made them originally great (and Billie Jo just seems to sing better with every album) is cause for celebration.

5.0 out of 5 stars One word: awesome., May 19, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: American Idiot (Bonus CD) (Chi) (Audio CD)
When I first listened to this album, two thoughts leapt to mind:
1. "This album rocks, I have to get more of this band's stuff!"
and 2. "Geeze Billie, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!?". Seriously speaking, it's a fantastic example of the all-around excellentness that is Green Day. Two guidelines for those considering buying this: blatently ignore the meaning of each song (except Wake Me Up When September Ends) and if you ever come across a word you don't know, do NOT look it up in the dictionary! If you do that, you'll be fine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bought CD for a song, December 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Idiot (Bonus CD) (Chi) (Audio CD)
I bought this CD because I loved one of the songs on it. I assumed I'd like more by the same artist. But I was wrong. So I never listen to it because it is too much trouble when I only like the one song.
