Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, drummer Tré Cool and guitarist and backing vocalist Jason White, who became a full member after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years. Cool replaced former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990, prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, ''Kerplunk'' (1992). Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. The band's early releases were from the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, its major label debut ''Dookie'' released through Reprise Records became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, The Offspring and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States. Green Day's three follow-up albums, ''Insomniac'' (1995), ''Nimrod'' (1997), and ''Warning'' (2000) did not achieve the massive success of ''Dookie,'' though they were still successful, with ''Insomniac'' and ''Nimrod'' reaching double platinum and ''Warning'' reaching gold status. The band's rock opera, ''American Idiot'' (2004), reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the United States. In 2012, ''21st Century Breakdown'' was followed up by a trilogy of albums called ''¡Uno!'', ''¡Dos!'', and ''¡Tré!'' released on September, November and December 2012 respectively. The group has won five Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Album for ''Dookie'', Best Rock Album for ''American Idiot'', Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", Best Rock Album for the second time for ''21st Century Breakdown'' and Best Musical Show Album for ''American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording''. In 2010, a stage adaptation of ''American Idiot'' debuted on Broadway. The musical was nominated for several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Scenic Design.
