Well, I'm assuming that since you're here, you know what Green Day is, but in case you want a bit of more in-depth information, read on!
Green Day is an American rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of three core members: Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, lead vocals), Mike Dirnt (bass) and Tré Cool (drums).
Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie became a breakout success in 1994 and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone.
As a result, Green Day was widely credited, along with fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day's three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum and gold status respectively. Its 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, selling 5 million copies in the U.S.
The band has sold over 60 million records worldwide, including 22 million in the United States alone. They also have three Grammy Awards, Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."
They are currently working on their new studio album estimated to be released in 2008.

In general, a fanlisting is just a place for fans of a certain thing, such as a TV show, a band or in this case, a band, to come together to share their love. For more fanlistings, please visit TheFanlistings.org.
I adopted this fanlisting for Green Day because they are one of my all-time favorite bands. Their music is fresh and revolutionary, and I happen to think that they're really cool people to boot. The name Shenanigans was taken from their album of B-sides that was released in 2002. As for the layout, I used photos that I got from GDA. Links to patterns and brushes used can be found here.
