BJ-loves-Miu Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Here the other day I began to think (dangerous thing... ) about how many drummers Green Day have had.....I know that they had John Kriftmeyer aka Al Soprante before Tré...But weren't there one more before Tré? Please don't say that I'm stupid cause I already know that I am... Did a search on this and couldn't find another topic with this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaleesi. Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 There were more before Tre, but I dont think they were really part of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalBasketCase13 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 They had a drummer in between John and Tre, but he quit before ever becoming "official". I'm pretty sure they went through a few drummers before John too. Back when they just jammed in Billie's living room and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjimmysgirl221 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 i dont know but i would make sense that they would have a few more in between john and tre that were not offical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netty Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I wouldnt swear to this but I think when they first started it was one of their friends who played drums but when they decided to actually form the band proper and start doing gigs they recruited John. somebody else, no idea what his name was, stood in for a while between John leaving and Tre joining them. might be an idea to watch "rise and rise of". there might be brief bits of video footage or photos of the guy playing when they first started. dont remember seeing photos of anybody playing after John left the band.

FJ Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 There were several drummers between Kiffmeyer and Tre, although most of them didn't last beyond a rehearsal. The stand in who lasted the longest was the drummer from a band called The Wynona Ryders (sp?), who I think lasted for 1 show before Tre was invited into the band.Billie and Mike have both said that it was the closest they've ever come to splitting up the band.

*princess of punk* Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 the other day i was reading that when Al Sobrate left the band...billie and mike was lookinf for some drummers...4 guys i think...but only was in the band one or two weeks....well in 2 languages.....SPANISH. Al Sobrante dejó la banda para ir a la universidad en Arcata, California, y tras otros cuatro baterías, (el más duradero fue Dave E.C.) que duraron poco más de dos semanas cada uno, Lawrence Livermore les propuso a Tré Cool, de 17 años y ya residente en Berkeley, como nuevo batería temporal, a quién la banda aceptó llamándolo jocosamente el mejor batería de la banda.
