Childhood
One of the influental people in punk rock music, as he was ranked, Billie Joe, was born on February 17, 1972 in Rodeo, California, as the youngest of 6 children. His dad, Andy, was a jazz musician and a truck driver for safeway, who passed away of lung cancer, in September 1982, Billie Joe was only 10. His mother was a waitress at a restaurant called Rod's Hickory Pit. As far as he started to talk he also began to sing and got used to go around to hospitals and sing to patients to cheer them up! Billie Joe's first song was Look For Love. When he was 5, he recorded this song for the locally based Fiat Records.
Appearance
Billie has green eyes. His hair color is naturally brown, but through the years has gone many coolers ranging from blue to blond! He currently has black hair. He is 5'6. He once had a nose ring, which he no longer wears as it kept getting caught on his guitar. He has the names of his family tattooed on his arms, also 5 piercing which can all be found in the ear.
Sweet Children
At the age of 10, Billie Joe met Mike in the school canteen and they got hooked up on punk rock music.. Soon after they had formed their first band named Sweet Children. When he was 10, Billie Joe got his first guitar he called Blue, as a present from his father. At 14 he wrote his first song was a song named Why Do You Want Him? (This can be found on 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, track 12). This song was about Billie Joe's mum, and how his step dad who he and his fellow siblings hated. It's obvious that Billie Joe's biggest love was music so he dropped out of school to devote to the band.
Green Day
As soon as band's first drummer Al Sobrante quit the band in a purpose of going to college, was quickly replaced by Tre Cool. Who was at the time playing with the lookouts. Then Sweet Children was renamed Green Day. In a matter of time they were playing around the country, traveling in a bookmobilie driven by Tres's father. In 1997 (Just after the release of Nimrod) Green day played a show at tower records, the show only last 40 minuets. During this time they totally wrecked the place, which cost up to $50,000 the band however were not charged. Billie Joe quoted "You can't start a riot 'cuz you at Tower records. You start a riot coz your at a Green Day concert!"
Family
Billie Joe's dad died when he was only 10. In 1990 in Minneapolis Billie Joe caught a glimpse of Adrienne for the first time. They got married on July 2, 1994, there service only lasted 5 minutes!! The next day came another little surprise, Adrienne was pregnant!! Now they have 2 kids, I mean, 2 sons, Joseph Marciano who was born on March, 1995 and Jakob Danger, born on September 12, 1998.
Some Interesting Facts
I believe that you'd be interested in the first album Billie Joe bought.. It was Elvis Presley's The Sun Sessions. I guess you'd agree with me that Billie Joe is known for his odd and amusing actions on the stage and kinda rebellious sense of humor. I think you know that bit I'll mention it anyway, Billie Joe is co-founder and partial owner of the independent label Adeline Records. He's a member of a band named Pinhead Gunpowder. He was also member of Blatz, Rancid, The Lookouts, Goodbye Harry, Corrupted Morals. When Billie Joe was in high school he was given the nick name "2$ bill" because he used to sell joints for $2! On the topic of joints, he smoked his first joint with his best friends mum!!
Guitars
Speaking of his guitars, he has since had a copy of Blue made by Fender. It's just like the original one but with different stickers on. Billie Joe's original Blue had two single-coil pick ups and a Seymour Duncan "Jeff Beck" Humbucker pick up. Billie Joe has a Fender Jazzmaster, a sonic blue Fender Jagstang, a Gibson classic Series ES-135 and ES-335, an SG, Rickenbacker, and a Guild sunburst acoustic(Played in the good ridance video). And to play them lovely gutiars he uses a Dunlop Tortex standard size (0.88mm) picks!
