Billie Joe Armstrong nació el 17 de febrero de 1972 en Oakland, California. Desde una edad temprana, mostró un interés profundo por la música. Creció en un hogar donde los vecinos solían escuchar desde jazz hasta rock clásico, lo que marcó su gusto musical. A los diez años, recibió su primera guitarra, un instrumento que se convertiría en su compañero inseparable en los años venideros.
En 1987, Billie Joe, junto con su mejor amigo Mike Dirnt, formaron la banda 'Sweet Children'. Sin embargo, poco después cambiaron el nombre a 'Green Day', inspirado en su amor por la marihuana. La banda comenzó tocando en pequeños locales de California y rápidamente se ganó una base de seguidores fiel. En 1990, lanzaron su primer EP 1,000 Hours, que fue muy bien recibido en la escena underground.
El verdadero éxito llegó en 1994 con su tercer álbum, Dookie. Este álbum catapultó a Green Day, y a Billie Joe, al estrellato internacional. Con éxitos como Basket Case y When I Come Around, el álbum se convirtió en un confidente de los jóvenes marginales y rebeldes de los años 90. Vendió más de 10 millones de copias en Estados Unidos y fue premiado con un Grammy en la categoría de Mejor Álbum de Música Alternativa.
Además de su destacada carrera con Green Day, Billie Joe mostró ser un artista multifacético. Participó en múltiples proyectos paralelos, incluyendo la banda punk

Lifer - Boring
Come and take a look at what i've got inside
Steppin' up to me will make you question your mind
So step up! step up! and eat a piece of your pride
Even the big look kind of small
If you're gonna snooze ya' lose and don't forget it
And if it happens again guess you're never gonna get it
You'll never learn that you'll never knock me over
If you're offended by a freak stop coming to the show.
No name calling everthing will change
What will you do now that everthing is rearranged?
How can you sit there and laugh about the things that i do when i try?
Would you try for me?
I'm fed up with everything but me
When i think back to how it used to be
Sit there and watch me pretend
You bore me now
You bore me now
(what am i supposed to think?)
Boring, somehow you think you're so much better than me
Come and take a look at what i've got inside
Steppin' up to me will make you question your mind
So step up! step up! and eat a piece of your pride
Even the big look kind of small
If you're gonna snooze ya' lose and don't forget it
And if it happens again guess you're never gonna get it
You'll never learn that you'll never knock me over
If you're offended by a freak stop coming to the show.
