Armstrong ganhou sua primeira guitarra do pai, que a deu ao filho antes de morrer. Hoje o vocalista chama a Ferdnandez Stratocaster de "Blue".

O nome da banda foi inspirado num dia em que eles fizeram nada além de fumar maconha e curtir a vida.

Mike Dirnt foi adotado e seus pais adotivos são, hoje, divorciados.

Já se imaginou jogando vídeo-game controlando Billie Joe Armstrong sobre um skate? Pois ele é um personagem do jogo Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

Todos os membros do Green Day têm a sigla "E.B.P.M" tatuada em algum lugar do corpo. A sigla significa "East Bay Punk Mafia".
