Biography
Biography Timeline
In 1998, after Green Day won a “Moon Man” Trophy at the MTV Music Awards, Tré Cool famously climbed on the Universal Globe at Universal Studios. He and Jai Brooks are the only two people to ever do this.
He also sang on “That Girl’s from Outer Space” and “Sonny Boy” from Lookouts album Spy Rock Road. He then sang and played the guitar on “Dominated Love Slave” from Kerplunk and the hidden track “All by Myself” from Dookie, both of which he wrote and composed (on “Dominated Love Slave”, guitarist and vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong played drums). He wrote and sang the subtrack “Rock and Roll Girlfriend” from the medley “Homecoming” featured on the album American Idiot. He also sang and wrote the track “DUI” (“Driving Under the Influence”), which was recorded for Green Day’s fifth studio album Nimrod (1997) and was due to be released on the compilation album Shenanigans in 2002, but was omitted and can only be found on promotional unmastered copies of the album and online.
Tré Cool won “Best Punk Drummer” in DRUM! Magazine’s 2011 Drummies, which recognizes some of the best drummers across music genres. He was also featured in the Nitpick Six: The Six Best Drum Fills and ranked in at number 6 for the intro to “Basket Case”. In 2014, LA Weekly named Tré Cool #2 of the “Top 5 Punk Drummers of All Time.”
During a speech at Green Day’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2015, Cool credited Ringo Starr from The Beatles, Keith Moon from The Who, John Bonham from Led Zeppelin, Mitch Mitchell from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Charlie Watts from The Rolling Stones, jazz and big band drummer Buddy Rich, John Wright from NoMeansNo, Alex Van Halen from Van Halen and Dave Mello from Operation Ivy as his favourite drummers. Green Day performed the Beatles hit “Boys” with Starr at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony that same year, in which Cool drummed alongside his idol.
