For much of their career, the band has been a trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990 prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, ''Kerplunk'' (1992). In 2012, guitarist Jason White became a full-time member after having performed with the band as a session and touring member since 1999. Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California. The band's early releases were with 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Idiot Rules! )〕 Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, Bad Religion, The Offspring and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States.〔DeRogatis, Jim. ''Milk It!: Collected Musings on the Alternative Music Explosion of the 90's.'' Cambridge: Da Capo, 2003. Pg. 357, ISBN 0-306-81271-1〕 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'' achieving gold status.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green Day Timeline )〕 The band's rock opera, ''American Idiot'' (2004), reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, selling six million copies in the U.S.〔 The band's eighth studio album, ''21st Century Breakdown'', was released in 2009 and achieved the band's best chart performance to date. ''21st Century Breakdown'' was followed up by a trilogy of albums called ''¡Uno!'', ''¡Dos!'', and ''¡Tré!'', which were released in September, November and December of 2012 respectively.〔 Green Day has sold more than 75 million records worldwide. 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 three Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Scenic Design and Best Lighting Design, losing only the first. Also in 2010, Green Day were ranked no. 91 in the ''VH1'' list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Greatest Artists of All Time )〕 On April 18, 2015, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a part of the 2015 class, in their first year of eligibility. == History == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
