The most popular and successful punk band ever, Green Day remain all at once ‘the real thing’, wholly credible and MTV favourites – something barely any other current acts seem able to pull off.

 

Perhaps this rare characteristic within the music business is associated with the fact that Green Day have sold huge quantities of records almost since day one – although it is also clearly the case that, despite their huge wealth, they enjoy fully what they do, have never sold out or gotten greedy - or allowed this factor to dilute the music they make. These three musicians are clearly their own men!
