Frank Edwin Wright III (born December 9, 1972), known professionally as Tré Cool, is an American drummer, best known as the drummer for Green Day. He replaced the band's former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990. Cool has also played in The Lookouts, Samiam and the Green Day side-projects The Network and the Foxboro Hot Tubs. ==Life and career== Frank Edwin Wright III was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, to American parents Frank Edwin Wright II and Linda Wright. He lived in Willits, California with his father and his elder sister Lori. He has German heritage, and his father was a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Band – Biography )〕〔(Tre Cool Biography ). Greendayauthority.com. Retrieved on 2011-06-26.〕 Wright's closest neighbor was Larry Livermore, who at the time was the singer of the punk band The Lookouts. When Wright was 12, Livermore recruited him as the drummer of The Lookouts. And Tre took on the name of "Tré Cool",〔 relying on both the French word "très" (meaning "very") and the English word "cool" as a way of saying he was "very cool". However, the silent "s" has been dropped in the spelling, as a play on the "third" in his name. During his acceptance speech at the 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Tre credited Larry Livermore as the person who gave him his nickname, Tre Cool, when he was young. When Green Day's drummer, John Kiffmeyer, left the band, the group recruited Tré Cool to be their drummer. In his second year, Tré Cool dropped out of high school and opted to earn a GED. He began taking classes at a local community college but would later drop out as well as the band became a more time consuming priority. During this time the band considered breaking up because it took a long time to adjust to playing with Tré Cool.〔 Tré Cool's father was supportive and overhauled a bookmobile to transport the band. He would later say: "I watched them go from a bunch of kids to a group of musicians with work ethic", also adding: "On their first tour or two, it was more of a party than anything else. I still scratch my head and say, 'How in the hell did they make it?' They used to practice in my living room here – a lot of the songs they did on Dookie. You hear it coming together, and you don't expect people are going to go out and buy it. But when it does, you just say, 'Wow that's so cool.'"〔''Rolling Stone'', January 26, 1995〕 In 1998, after Green Day won a "Moon Man" Trophy at the MTV Music Awards, Tré Cool famously scaled the Universal Globe at Universal Studios. Tré Cool has been the only person to ever do so.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tré Cool Climbs The MTV Globe )〕 In December 2012 Green Day released the third of their trilogy albums entitled ¡Tré! in honour of the drummer. The song "Fell For You" on Green Day's album ¡Uno! was originally entitled "Fell For Snoo" (Snoo being Tré Cool's nickname), as seen on the documentary making of the trilogy, ¡Cuatro!. Tré Cool won "Best Punk Drummer" in DRUM! Magazine's 2011 Drummies, which recognizes some of the best drummers across music genres.〔(Tré Cool wins "Best Punk Drummer" in the 2011 Drummies ).
