Here’s a look back at Green Day’s evolution through photos from then and now.
Green Day is hailed as one of the greatest rock bands across multiple generations. After starting out in 1987 under the names Blood Rage and Sweet Children, they landed on their final name and introduced the world to popular rock anthems like “Holiday,” “American Idiot,” “Basket Case,” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”
Thanks to their incredible success throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, American Idiot earned critical acclaim, winning the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, and was later adapted into a successful Broadway musical in 2010. By 2015, current members of Green Day — Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool — were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
As we celebrate this milestone, it’s the perfect time to look back at Green Day’s journey. Here’s a look back at their transformation—scroll through the gallery to see photos of the band from their early days to the present!
