A seemingly thin read, the book touches on the history of the best band that ever lived. Some great facts and pictures which I had enlarged and are on all my walls. Billie Joe Armstrong, a genious, Tre Cool, a brilliant drummer, and Mike Dirnt, an equally good bass guitarist. The book tells you of the lives of these masterminds. Greenday right now is not the most popular in mainstream music, but I'm hoping for them to be number one again with their new album coming out in November. Buy this book if you want to now the brilliance behind the music. I just wish someone would write something more recent as this only ends in about '95/'96. As a fellow musician, I really think Greenday are the tops!
