Green Day

Credited for commanding the early-‘90s mainstream to stand to punk’s attention, Green Day’s major label breakout ‘Dookie’ chronicled bratty and bored youth with scuzzy, revved-up snarl. Selling more than 8 million copies and earning them a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, ‘Dookie’ set in motion what has been one of pop punk’s most influential crossover successes. Their unapologetic and hook-ridden singles ignited alternative airwaves one after another, rocketing the East Bay, Calif., punk-scene boys into arena rock stature. Green Day channeled that same early disenchantment into later works that tread heavier territory and eventually adapted 2004’s politically-charged ‘American Idiot’ into a Tony Award-winning Broadway rock-opera spectacle, a signal that even alt-rock’s favorite pranksters aren’t above trading in juvenile delinquency for high concept and theatrics.

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong melted down in a big way during the iHeart Radio Festival in Las Vegas last month, spewing F-bombs, smashing his guitar and seemingly seething with anger due to a shortened set. Turns out the frontman had fallen off the wagon, and he promptly went to rehab to address his issues. The fallout occurred right around the release of '¡Uno!,' the first album in a pla
