Masa-masa di Green Day

Pada tahun 1988, Armstrong membuat band bernama Sweet Children dengan temannya, Mike Dirnt, dan seorang drummer bernama Al Sobrante {John Kiffmeyer}. Pada tahun 1989, mereka mengganti namanya menjadi Green Day, dan membuat rekaman 1,000 Hours, di Lookout! Records. Beberapa bulan kemudian, mereka mengeluarkan sebuah album berjudul "1,039 Smoothed Slappy Hours". Pada tahun 1990, Sobrante keluar dari Green Day karena ingin meneruskan sekolahnya dan digantikan dengan Tré Cool (Frank Edwin Wright III), yang melanjutkan album kedua Green Day, Kerplunk!, memainkan semua lagu kecuali 3 buah lagu.

Billie Joe Armstrong (lahir 17 Februari 1972; umur 39 tahun) adalah penyanyi dan pemain gitar dari grup musik Green Day.
