AS YOU MAY KNOW, TRE COOL WAS BORN IN FRANKFURT, GERMANY. WHEN HE FIRST STARTED DRUM LESSONS HE WASN'T ALLOWED TO USE CYMBALS BECAUSE HIS DRUM TEACHER( WHO WAS HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR) WANTED HIM TO GET GOOD AT FILLS. TRE WAS SO FRUSTRATED AT THAT, HE KNICKED SOME FROM THE LOCAL DRUM STORE.THAT'S WHY IN MOST OF THE SONGS, HE GOES MAD ON THE CYMBALS. TRE COOL WAS ACTUALLY BORN AS FRANK EDWIN WRIGHT III, BUT WHEN HE WAS 12 HIS FRIEND WANTED TO START A BAND WITH HIM. THAT FRIEND WAS THE PERSON WHO GAVE HIM THE NAME TRE COOL. THE BAND THAT HE WAS IN WAS CALLED THE LOOKOUTS! HE ONLY LASTED SIX YEARS IN THAT BAND UNTIL HE FOUND ANOTHER BAND THAT WANTED A DRUMMER.THAT BAND WAS CALLED GREEN DAY!

BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG AND MIKE DIRNT( MICHEAL RYAN PRITCHARD) FIRST MET IN A SCHOOL CAFETERIA IN THEIR HOME TOWN OF BERKELY.THEY HAD BOTH ALWAYS DREAMT OF BEEN A BAND( A PUNK-ROCK BAND TO BE EXACT).SEEN AS THOUGH BILLIE PLAYED E. GUITAR AND MIKE PLAYED BASS, ALL THEY NEEDED WAS A DRUMMER THAT DRUMMER WAS CALLED AL SOBRANTE(JOHN KIFFEMEYER), THEY CALLED THEIR BAND SWEET CHILDREN WITH SUCH SONGS AS MY GENERATION AND THEIR TITLE NAME, SWEET CHILDREN.WHEN BILLIE WAS 10, HIS DAD GOT HIM HIS FIRST GUITAR, THAT WAS A STRATOCASTER WHICH HE NAMED BLUE. WHEN THEY WERE ABOUT 18/19 AL LEFT THE BAND TO GO TO UNIVERSITY, SO TRE COOL JOINED THE BAND, THAT'S WHEN THEY RE-NAMED THE BAND GREEN DAY! WHILST IN THE LOOKOUTS! TRE COOL ALSO WHENT TO CLOWN SCHOOL.
