Green Day: Tre Cool
built 225 days ago
Two days after their inauguration, Green Day went on a drinking and loving spree (later, this became the real-life inspiration for Tre's song, DUI). In their tri-state binge, each of them consumed an estimated two gallons of beer, vodka, rat urine and turpentine. In the wee hours of the morning, they crashed their go-carts, causing a violent explosion and killing all three. Then, just because it looked cool, they all burst into flames. Their remains are currently buried in a shoebox in Paris Hilton's fake breasts. Paris Hilton had this to say on their funeral:

At Woodstock '94, those incorrigible boys in Green Day took the fabled festival's legendary history of muddy conditions to the punk-rock extreme, starting an epic mud-fight with the audience. With the stage filled with muck-covered fans, bassist Mike Dirnt was mistaken for a trespasser by a security guard, who leveled the musician, knocking out several teeth.

With alternative rock music going overground in the early 90s, few acts were better positioned to exploit the commercial possibilities than Green Day - Billie Joe Armstrong (b. 17 February 1972, California, USA; vocals/guitar), Mike Dirnt (b. 4 May 1972, California, USA; bass/vocals) and Tre Cool (b. Frank Edwin Wright III, 9 December 1972, Germany; drums/vocals). Armstrong and Dirnt had been playing together since the age of 11 in the refinery town of Rodeo, California, performing in various garage bands. Tre Cool had been in a band called the Lookouts who broke up in 1990, but their final EP, IV, featured Billie Joe Armstrong playing guitar and singing backing vocals on three tracks.
