GREEN DAY (Biography)
Source : www.greendaybiography.com
Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The awesome members include: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool.
In 1987, friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, 15 years old at the time, formed a band called Sweet Children. The first Sweet Children show took place on October 17, 1987, at Rod's Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California where Armstrong's mother was working. In 1988, Armstrong and Dirnt began working with former Isocracy drummer, John Kiffmeyer (also known as Al Sobrante). Kiffmeyer served as both the band's drummer and business manager, handling the booking of shows and helping the band establish a fan base. As said in the film Punk's Not Dead, Armstrong cites the band Operation Ivy (which features Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman of Rancid) as a major influence, and a band that drove Billie Joe to form a band.

Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying) Says Something About Forsaken
Inilah tanggapan Tim Lambesis saat ditanya tentang makna dari lagu Forsaken, track ke-5 dalam album An Ocean Between Us (2007), here it goes :
We asked lead singer Tim Lambesis, "Is 'Forsaken' about your faith, or is there another meaning?" Here's his reply:
"'Forsaken' is not about my faith at all, but it does address issues of faith in a round about way. Belief is simply words if not followed by action. 'Forsaken' is about the poor and the oppressed of the world that we (definitely including myself) turn our backs on without even realizing it. They are the ones who have been forsaken by many of us consumers who oppress them, yet somehow we are the ones full of emptiness and loneliness." (learn more at asilaydying.com)
