Green Day: When I Come Around

Green Day, that is Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool came together back in 1987. Hailing from the Punk hub of Berkeley California, they tasted success on the Indy circuit before moving to a major label. Their ‘94 breakout album ‘Dookie’ sold over 15 million copies worldwide making it one of the most successful albums of it’s genre.

You can’t talk about ‘Dookie’ without ‘When I Come Around.’ Yes, it’s a song about a teen relationship and yes, it’s simple as sin, but it’s good. This song has 2 videos: One of the infamous mud fight at Woodstock where a security guard knocked Mike’s teeth out, and the other, a typical concept video with all the trimmings. Guest guitarist Jason White can be spotted necking in the background. Weather you like Punk or not, this is a solid single.
