2. READING COMPREHENSION
Green Day is a rock band from California in the USA. In the 1960s there
were lots of rock groups in California. The most famous group was the Beach
Boys. Their music was ‘surf rock’ – music for the beach. Their song Surfing
USA was a big hit.
Green Day’s music is different. It is punk rock. Today Green Day are
famous. They are popular in the USA and in Europe too. But it wasn’t always
like that.
At first they only had a small number of fans. But then they had a lucky break.
Their song Longview was on MTV. It was their first hit. In the 1990s Green
Day were often on MTV.
In 2004 they had a big hit with their album American Idiot. In 2006 one of
the songs from this album, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, was record
of the year in the Grammy Awards. The Grammy Awards are the equivalent of
Oscars for pop music.
There are three members of the group. They were all born in 1972.
Billie Joe Armstrong is the singer. He’s got five brothers and sisters. Billie’s dad
was a jazz musician and his mum was a waitress in a restaurant. Billie has a
great voice, but he can also play the piano, the guitar, the drums and the
saxophone.
Mike Dirnt plays the guitar. Dirnt isn’t Mike’s real surname – it’s Pritchard. Mike
doesn’t know his real parents; he was an adopted child. He had a hard life as a
child, but music was his passion. He plays guitar and bass guitar.
Tre Cool is Green Day’s drummer. His real name is Frank Edwin Wright.
Tre Cool was born in Germany. His father was a helicopter pilot with the US
army.
