Green Day's frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, was born on February 17, 1972. He is the youngest of six children. His father was a jazz musician and a truck driver, while his mother was a waitress at a local resturant named Rod's Hickory Pit. Billie started singing when he was just 5 years old and would even visit hospitals and sing to the patients. He was able to record his first song, "Looking for Love" at a local recording company-Fiat Records.
Billie met Mike Dirnt in the school
More cafeteria in 1982. He and his two brothers introduced Billie to the world of punk rock. Soon after, Billie, Mike, and a drummer named John formed a punk band and named themselves "Sweet Children." Before his 18th birthday, and halfway through his senior year of high school, Billie dropped out of to devote all his time to the band. John soon left the band to attend college, so a new drummer, Tre Cool, was recruited. Sweet Children was renamed Green Day and soon, they were traveling all over the country with little money and staying at fan's houses.
It was in Minneapolis in 1990 when Billie met his future wife, Adrienne Nesser. They dated awhile and then were married on July 2, 1994. Their son, Joseph Marcicano Armstrong, was born in March of 1995. Three years later on September 12, 1998, another boy, Jakob Danger, was added to the Armstrong family. Today, Billie, Adrienne, Joseph, and Jakob reside in Berkeley, California.

    Lead singer of the best band on the planet. hide show

    Billie Joe Armstrong is the frontman to Green Day. My personal favourite band. He is an amazing song writer and has wrote many amazing songs. His father died when he was age 10 but not before giving him his first guitar which he named "blue". Bille Joe formed a band called Sweet Children with best friend bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Al Sobrante. He dropped out of high school to persue a music career. After one album Al Sobrante quit to go to college and Tre Cool took his place on drums and they changed their name to Green Day. 16 years later Billie Joe is now a multi millionaire playing sell out concerts everywhere. I love every song he has ever written.

    Best guitarist/ singer ever! hide show

    Billie Joe Rocks! Hes the best guitarist and the best singer ever! He's also great at drums, harmonica, and mandolin! The songs he writes are great, the best songs i've ever heard. Billie deffanatly had the best singing voice i've ever heard too. The bests songs he's ever written are "Walking Contradiction", "Holiday", "Warning", "Brain Stew", "The Grouch", "Minority", "When I Come Around", "Nice Guys Finish Last", "Boulivard of Broken Dreams", and "Hitchin' a Ride", but pretty much every song by Billie is awesome. Hes also a good actor. He was on an episode od "Haunted" and he was great. Billie Joe Rocks!!!
