Who is Billie Joe Armstrong?

Billie Joe Armstrong (born February 17, 1972) is the main songwriter, lead vocalist, and guitarist for Green Day. Armstrong is the youngest of six children born in Oakland, California, and raised in Rodeo, California. His father, Andy, was a jazz musician and truck driver who died of cancer in the esophagus when Armstrong was ten. His mother, Ollie, was a waitress at Rod's Hickory Pit, where Billie and his friends Mike Dirnt and Brandon O'Lech worked during their teen years. Rod's Hickory Pit was where Armstrong and his band Sweet Children performed their first show. He insists that his name is spelled with an 'ie' because, according to the liner notes in 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, his mother was under the influence of drugs (painkillers) while giving birth to him. He is the only member of Green Day who uses his given name, as the other two members, Mike Pritchard (Mike Dirnt) and Frank Edwin Wright III (Tré Cool), have switched to shorter nicknames. Together, they are co-founders and part owners of the independent label Adeline Records, to which he has a side band called Pinhead Gunpowder with Green Day second guitarist Jason White which is on Lookout! Records. Armstrong has also worked as a producer, most notably in a co-production with noted punk producer Mass Giorgini, legendary producer/owner of Sonic Iguana recording studio, and Lafayette pop-punk band Squirtgun. He is also a member of the band The Network, along with the rest of the members of Green Day. CollaborationsApart from working with Green Day, 'The Network' and Pinhead Gunpowder, Armstrong has proved himself busy in the music world, collaborating with many artists over the years. He has co-written for the Go-gos ("Unforgiven"), former Avengers singer Penelope Houston ("The Angel and The Jerk" and "New Day"), written a song for Rancid ("Radio"), sung backing vocals with Melissa Auf Der Maur on Ryan Adams' "Do Miss America" and recorded lead guitar with Green Day for two tracks, where they acted as the backing band for Iggy Pop on his "Skull Ring" album ("Private Hell" and "Supermarket"). A duet with Elvis Costello is planned for a VH1 special. PersonalArmstrong married Adrienne Nesser on July 2, 1994. He has two sons, Joseph Marciano (born March 1995), and Jakob Danger (born September 1998). Adrienne Nesser was born October 6, 1969 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her brother Steve Nesser is a professional skateboarder. While studying Sociology in Minnesota State University, Adrienne met Billie Joe Armstrong and asked him where she could buy a copy of their album. Billie has remarked that he had spotted Adrienne as he peered into the crowd from the stage during the gig and he was immediately taken by her beautiful black locks of hair. The two kept in touch over the phone-often discussing Adrienne's human sexuality class. Their first kiss inspired an old Green Day classic, ''2,000 Lightyears Away''. Billie Joe arranged two tours around Minnesota, simply for the purpose of seeing Adrienne, but, after dating for a year-and-a-half, they resigned themselves to the fact that they couldn't be together due to distance. During the next year, Adrienne got engaged to Billy Bisson, the front man of a Minnesota band, Janis Figure. However, their relationship deteriorated, and, when Adrienne finished college, Billie Joe asked her to move out to California and marry him. She agreed, and Bisson claims that Billie Joe stole her from him, saying "I helped that guy, and what does he do? He steals my fiancee." Billie Joe and Adrienne became engaged soon after, and planned their wedding in about two weeks. In the documentary ''Behind the Music'', Adrienne says "We didn't think about it, we just did it." The ceremony took place in Billie Joe's back yard and lasted five minutes; they wrote their own vows: one Protestant, one Catholic and one Jewish, because they were of no particular religion. The couple spent a week in the Claremont Hotel for their honeymoon (a ten minute walk away from their house). The day after the wedding, Adrienne discovered that she was pregnant. Their son Joseph Marciano Armstrong was born in March 1995. They had their second son, Jakob Danger, on September 12, 1998. Billie Joe and Adrienne were prone to arguments during the recording of Green Day's albums, particularly during ''American Idiot''. As Adrienne commented in VH1's Documentary ''Driven'': "I think it challenged us to a new level. It pushed us pretty far. The farthest I ever want to go." With these problems resolved, Adrienne is often seen backstage at Green Day's shows. She works at Adeline Records and co-owns Adeline clothing. In 2002 rumors had been circling that Billie Joe had died in a tragic car accident, until a statement on Green Day.net cleared things up.
