Awesome! I thought I knew most everything there was to know about them, but I was wrong. Mr di Perna did make a mistake early in the book though - he said Mike was born in '74. All members of the trio were born in '72!
This book was EVERYTHING. I can't believe it took me so long to read it! It's was amazing. The pictures were beautiful, I learned a lot of new things about my favorite band and it makes me wanna read it all over again while listening to the songs it talked about! If you are a Green Day fan READ THIS BOOK!!!!
4.5
Guitar World writer Alan di Perna conducted several interviews with the members of Green Day, between 1994 and 2012, roughly. The information he got from those interviews largely makes up the content of this unauthorized biography.
It makes for a visually appealing coffee table book, filled with color photos of the band, album artwork, tour flyers, etc. It's also a well-written history and musical critique--albeit one from a writer who clearly thinks the sun never goes down on Green Day.
