Hello Everyone....
Rockonomy is back with some punk rock...
This is not the oldest punk rock band but still one of the most popular ones....
We are talking about Green Day...the punk rock band from California,US..
The band formed way back in 1987 in California by the trio:
Joe Armstrong- Vocals and guitar
Mike Dirnt- Bass guitar and backing vocals
Tre Cool- Drums and Percussion
Later musicians like:
Jason White – lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals (1999–present)
Jason Freese – keyboards, piano, acoustic guitar, trombone, saxophone, accordion, backing vocals (2003–present)
Ronnie Blake – trumpet, timpani, percussion, backing vocals (2004–present)
Mike Pelino – rhythm guitars, backing vocals (2004–present)
joined in....
We are not going to talk about the labels and companies they worked for,I am going to tell you what made them so famous,
They formed their own band at an early age of 15 or 17,they named it Sweet Children,It was the same band which changed to Green Day..you know why??....
because they have fetish of marijuana and Green Day has meaning somewhat similar to it.....
Well.. talking about their Discography,their first album was 39/smooth...
But the album which really brought them fame and made them a hit was DOOKIE....in 1994...what an album I must say...A real treat for Punk lovers....
Tracks like Welcome To Paradise,Burnout,Coming Clean,and Longview are really cool......
Dookie was a major hit in US breaking all records and selling millions of copies there....
Talking about their music styles,they are often compared to Sex Pistols and The Jam...but believe me,they are really different....
Green Day compositions include Distorted Guitar as a major part and heavy bass accompanying it ....
What i like most about Green Day is their lyrics,one thing you have to believe is they are really good songwriters....
Coming back to albums,the covers like Warning and Nimrod did fairly on the charts but their album in 2004: AMERICAN IDIOT....is the most amazing album by Green Day.....
making them famous majorly among the youth.....
tracks like AMERICAN IDIOT,Boulevard of Broken Dreams,Give Me Novocaine,Wake Me Up When September Ends. topped the charts and were liked by all.....
this was the album which fetched them numerous awards including THE GRAMMY....MTV awards...JUNO awards and many more...with the Boulevard of Broken Dreams winning as best song(rock)...
In total Green Day bagged 35 awards while being nominated for 71....
Although American Idiot is an awesome album but we are here giving DOOKIE....their latest album:Breakdown will also be reviewed here soon........
If you haven't seen much Green Day videos,then i must advice you to do so because their music videos are really cool....you"ll see Joe Armstrong wearing KAAJAL(carbon black or eyeliner) every time,pretty cool.....
Green Day has really made punk famous and still spreading the magic of punk....
Download the cool album to feel the punk they have got in them:
