Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt. For much of the band's career, they have been a trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1991). Guitarist Jason White, who has been a touring member since 1999, was an official member from 2012 to 2016.
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California.

This is "Prosthetic Head" By Green Day. Very simple. Very good if you're just starting to dip your feet into Powerchords. But it's a very good song to know. Fun to play. Cool rhythm. Listen to the song if you want the rhytym, though. I'm no good at tab. *****Okay, while I was doing this, someone else put out a five-star version of this same song. ;-[ But the timing for that one is terrible. This is much eaiser to follow.*****
