Tré Cool's father was supportive and overhauled a bookmobile to transport the band. During this time the band considered breaking up because it took a long time to adjust to playing with Tré Cool. He began taking classes at a local community college but would again drop out as the band became a more time-consuming priority. In his second year, Tré Cool dropped out of high school and opted to earn a GED. When Green Day's drummer, John Kiffmeyer, left the band, the group recruited Tré Cool to be their drummer. When Wright was 12, Livermore recruited him as the drummer of The Lookouts and Tre took on the name of "Tré Cool," using both the French word "très" (meaning "very") and the English word "cool" as a way of saying he was "very cool." Trey, a play on Wright's family's generational titles, had already been Wright's nickname prior to the addition of "Cool." Wright's closest neighbor was Larry Livermore, who at the time was the singer of the punk band The Lookouts. He has German heritage, and his father was a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. He lived in Willits, California, with his father and elder sister Lori.

Jimmy and Letterbomb, and heart-wrenching emotion of Wake Me Up When September Ends and Whatsername. It resulted in songs like the epic Jesus Of Suburbia and Homecoming, fired-up punk rock classics like Holiday, St.
Far from giving up, though, the trio came back swinging – not just wanting to overcome their circumstances, but even go as far as to out-do each other as they went. Mike later admitted on live DVD Bullet In A Bible that Billie Joe had phoned him to ask, “Do you even want to do this anymore?” following the mixed reaction to Warning and the toll of that particular cycle, before the master tapes to their then-new album Cigarettes And Valentines were mysteriously “stolen”. Really, what more can be said about Green Day’s monumental seventh album? Yes, the songs are genuinely incredible, but the context in which the full-length was made also makes it all the more jaw-dropping. Here, then, we tackle the band’s discography from not-so-classic to certified masterpiece… And as easy as it would be to write a ‘Green Day albums ranked from best to best to best to best’ list, that’s not quite how the internet works. Thankfully, the frontman has, across three decades, consistently gone on to turn this aforementioned “mess” into quite the opposite, with Green Day’s inimitable 13-album discography garnering the band millions of dedicated fans, a couple of hundred award nominations, and a legacy that most rock bands could only dream of.Īnd they’re still at it, too: the 4K-rated Father Of All… not only proved that Billie Joe, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool are as strong a force as ever, but also that they’re eager to plunge headfirst into fresh and exciting new waters. “With Green Day, the first thing that comes to mind with making a record is making a mess first,” Billie Joe Armstrong told Kerrang! back in 2018, detailing the Oakland heroes’ mindset going into each and every studio album (of which there’s been plenty).
