Everyone has an idol. So do I, my idol is Billie Joe Armstrong. He is a vocalist and guitarist for the America punk rock Green Day. Billie Joe Armstrong was born in Piedmont, California, as the youngest of six children to Andrew Armstrong and Ollie Jackson. His father worked as a jazz micisian and truck driver, his mother worked as waitress. The song “Wake Me Up When September ends” is memorial to his father.
Armstrong’s interest in music started at a young age. He became interested in punk rock after being introduced to punk rock by his brothers. Armstrong has also cited Minneapolis-based John Swett High School, also in Crockett, and later Pinile Valley High School, but then dropped out to pursue his musical career.
In 1987, Armstrong formed a band called Sweet Children with childhool friend Mike Dirnt at the age of 15. They changed their name to Green Day in April 1989, allegedly choosing the name because of their fondness for marijuana. With their album, the band broke into the main stream, and have remainded one of the most popular rock bands 1990s and 2000s with over 60 million records sold world wire. In 2009, their realized the single American Idiot became a musical on Broadway.
He has also been confirmed to be part of a side project called The Network, which released an album. He is multitalented and the best guitarist. I am one of his fans. All the song interesting for me. I hope his Green Day would come to my country. He a rockstar man.
i like Greenday too, their songs are good.
