Introduction to bj

Billie joe armstrong was born in Rodeo, California, USA on February 1972. He is the youngest of six brothers and sisters. His father Andy is an amateur jazz musician.

When he was five years old, his mother Ollie worked in a local restaurant. And began to like music and singing. He often goes to the local hospital to sing for patients to make them feel better. . Later, he sang his first song "Looking for Love" in a local company, Fiat Records (when he was 5 years old).

1 1 His first electric guitar was the lowest blue.

His father died when he was 10 years old. His mother still works in that restaurant to support herself and six children. Billy and Mike later worked as helpers here. Two years after my father died, my mother married a man who was disgusted by her brothers and sisters.

10 years old, Billie met Mike Dirnt in the school cafeteria.

They go out to play together. I deliberately overslept and skipped class in the morning. Then play with old-fashioned heavy metals (such as ozzy osbourne, Devpard and van halen). )

He wrote his first song "Why Do You Want Him" when 17 years old, which was written for his mother. He still hates his stepfather.

At the age of 15, he formed the punk band Sweet Children with Mike and a drummer named John. Their first performance (illegal) was also in the restaurant where his mother worked.

Before his 18 birthday, he gave up half of his high school studies. So that he can spend all his time with lovely children. He already knows what he wants to do. What he should do. That is to make music, so school has become an obstacle to his dream. So he dropped out of school.

At 1990. Drummer John left the lovely children to go to college. So Billy and Mike must find a new drummer. They found the most suitable person, Tre Cool.

Then they renamed the band Green Day.

Before they became famous, they traveled all over America in Trey's father's car. . They spend very little money and spend a lot of time in the homes of some fans.
