Green Day: The 2004 'American Idiot' Cover Story

Power to the people (with funny haircuts): A decade and a half after the first Green Day record, the boys from Berkeley grew up and got angry. So what did they do? Recorded a Bush-bashing rock opera featuring nine-minute songs — and ended up with their biggest smash in years.

mentioned in article about Serena Williams

10. Her affinity for the '90s alternative rock band Green Day seems to have abated. She hasn't discussed Billie Joe Armstrong and Co. in quite some time, whereas she previously karaoked their songs, wore band shirts, and tweeted on the regular about that act. (By the by, BJA himself is 42 now.) This quietude about her allegedly favorite band probably means she will roar about them soon enough. That's so Serena.

She was IN Cuatro playing ping pong with the band. Just because she doesn't mention them in every interview she does hardly means her love for them has abated. The girl is a die-hard for LYFE, yo.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2015: A look at the potential nominees to be announced in October

Newbies

Here is a look at newly eligible acts you can take seriously in terms of getting nominated for 2015 induction: Green Day and Nine Inch Nails. Green Day is a shoe-in and will be the first band to ride the Nirvana wave of popular 1990s rock bands entering the Rock Hall. NIN may be a littler iffier, but everything Trent Reznor does these days only adds to his already impressive resume.

9 acts guaranteed to enter the Rock Hall in the near future

Green Day (2015 Induction Ceremony)

There will be more discussion on Green Day in the coming months, given that the band is likely to enter the Rock Hall in April. Green Day's resume is packed with big albums, huge hits, Grammys and critical acclaim. Heck, they even inspired a Broadway musical. Green Day's legacy stands as a punk rock act that grew up and helped shaped the rock music we hear on the radio today.

Did anyone else hear they're making an album called 44 fires?

I don't even know where to begin with what's wrong with that whole thing...

5 Bands Blamed for Bankrupting Their Labels
Green Day
Green Day weren’t the only band to pull its catalog from Lookout! Records in 2005 over complaints about not getting paid back royalties, but they were definitely the biggest, and their exit proved the most damaging. The veteran punk act issued its first two discs — 1990′s ’39/Smooth’ and 1992′s ‘Kerplunk’ — on the label, but in the mid-aughts, they weren’t getting paid for their sales and decided to bail on Lookout. The label immediately fired most of its staff and within a few years had gone under.

10 Songs That Remind Us Of Growing Up In The 90s

“Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” by Green Day

Released in 1997, Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” has since become the go-to song for countless graduation ceremonies and proms. As you put your arms around your friends and loved ones, this is when you reminisce about the good times.

This is also the song that probably made you want to learn how to play the guitar. In my case, “Time of Your Life” was the first track I REALLY took the time to perfect. Having practiced the melody, chords and strumming patterns non-stop until my fingers start hurt, Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” will always hold a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my embarrassing days of trying to be “punk rock.” In fact, I thought I was such a rockstar that this was also the song I performed at a talent show with my elementary school. Yeah, I was pretty badass.
