Green Day - Know Your Enemy


Green Day came to Sweden , Stockholm on saturday and
playd for a very full The Ericsson Globe.

On saturday they shopped, doing some studio work
and paid a visit at Sturehof.
Then on Sunday they did a very happy and energic gig.
With a lots of pyro!



Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987.
Todays members are:
Billie Joe Armstrong – lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars (1987–present)
Mike Dirnt – bass, backing vocals (1987–present)
Tré Cool – drums, percussion, backing vocals (1990–present)

Jason White – lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals (1999–present)
Jason Freese – keyboards, piano, acoustic guitar, trombone, saxophone, accordion, backing vocals (2003–present)

Green Day has sold over 22 million records in the United States.
They have won three Grammy Awards;
Best Alternative Album for Dookie,
Best Rock Album for American Idiot,
and Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".

The band also joined the lineups of both the
Lollapalooza festival and Woodstock 1994,
where they started an infamous mud fight.
During the concert, a security guard mistook
bassist Mike Dirnt for a stage-invading fan and
punched out some of his teeth.
Viewed by millions via pay-per-view television,
the Woodstock 1994 performance further aided Green Day's
growing publicity and recognition,
and helped push its album to eventual diamond status.

Here is a Tune from their latest album "21st Century Breakdown"
(the 8th studio album)

Cheers, Thetania
