Mereka yang terbaik dalam rock n roll. Mereka memperkenalkan Punk kepada kaum Mayoritas. Mereka memimpin band Punk di arus kedua. Mereka memperkenalkan lagu punk yang sangat manis kepada dunia yang berjudul "Good Riddance: Time Of Your Life" dan inilah kisah mereka.....
===========++===========
Kisah bermulai dari seorang anak bernama Billie Joe Armstrong yang memasuki tahun kelimanya di sekolah dengan bertemu dengan Michael Ryan Pritchard (Mike Dirnt) seorang anak yang rusuh berantakan dan yang terbaik, dia adalah seorang Punk. Mike memberi pelajaran apa yang disebut cinta dan punk kepada Billie, dan dengan musik mereka menjadi menyatu dan memutuskan bermain musik bersama. Lalu Billie dan Mike memulai suatu band bernama "Sweet Children".
Mike Memutuskan untuk tinggal bersama billie karena Ibunya memutuskan untuk pindah dari Bay Area karena masalah keuangan, jadilah Mike yang tinggal di garasi milik Bille.
Bille dan Mike pun mendengar suatu tempat yang tidak jauh dari tempat tinggalnya, suatu tempat dimana semua Punker berkumpul untuk bersatu dalam musik, suatu tempat dimana dahulunya hanyalah sebuah club kecil, sampai sekarang, tempat itu bernama "Gilman".
Gig Pertama mereka di Gilman tidak terlalu disenangi karena mereka pikir "Sweet Children" terlalu "Pop" untuk didengar para manusia pecinta musik "Hardcore Punk". dan akhirnya mereka bertemu John Kiffmeyer, (aka Al Sobrante) untuk bergabung bersama "Sweet Children"
Sempat tidak disukai dan tidak diingat oleh masyarakat "Gilman" dan hampir frustasi karena mereka sudah mengorbankan semuanya, sampai-sampai Billie Joe dikeluarkan oleh sekolahnya, akhirnya John turun tangan, dia berusaha keras mendapatkan show untuk "Sweet Children" dan mengurus semua uang pengeluaran yang dikeluarkan untuk mendaftar dalam show. Lalu John juga memanggil Lawrence Livermore pemilik Lookout! record untuk meliha "Sweet Children" bermain, dan ternya Lawrence menyukainya dan bertanya kepada billie, apakah mereka ingin membuat suatu album, Billie setuju.
Sesaat sebelum mereka merilis single berjudul "1000 Hours", "Sweet Children" berganti nama menjadi "Green day" yang mereka dapatkan saat mereka hanya bisa duduk seharian dan menghisap ganja. Lawrence sangat marah mendengar hal ini, tapi itu semua mereka kerjakan untuk yang terbaik. Dan setahun setelah muncul Green day, album pertama mereka yang bernama 39/Smooth akhirnya rilis. Green day sangat disukai saat itu, dan setelah Mike lulus dari Pinole Valley High School mereka melakukan tur selama 45 hari.
Green day rela tidur di basement orang supaya musiknya didengar, dan menjual kasu dan albumnya untuk bayar makan dan membeli bensin untuk mobil yang mereka pakai untuk tur. Tapi suatu masalah besar datang, John meninggalkan band untuk melanjutkan sekolahnya dan John sama sekali tidak memberi tahu Green day, Billie hanya tahu dari seorang teman, Billie sangat marah dan tidak bilang kepada John bahwa dia sudah digantikan dengan seorang drummer yang diperkenalkan oleh Lawrence yang bernama Frank Edwin Wright the III, yang sekarang lebih dikenal sebagai Tre Cool.

10.21st Century Breakdown
is the eighth studio album by American punk rock band Green Day. It is the band's second rock opera, following American Idiot, and its first record to be produced by Butch Vig. The band commenced work on the record in January 2006. 45 songs were written by vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong by October 2007, but the band members did not enter studio work with Vig until January 2008. The writing and recording process spanned three years and four California recording studios and was finished in April 2009.
21st Century Breakdown was released through Reprise Records on May 15, 2009. Armstrong has described the album as a "snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority".[1] The singles, "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns" exemplify the themes of alienation and politically-motivated anger present in the record.
Critical response to 21st Century Breakdown was generally positive. Critics praising the album considered the composition and Armstrong's lyrics a success; skeptical reviewers were critical of the album's concept, describing it as vague and directionless. The record achieved Green Day's best chart performance to date by reaching number one on the album charts of various countries, including the United States Billboard 200, the European Top 100 Albums, and the United Kingdom Albums Chart.
