Tré Cool Facts

1. He joined his first band at the age of 12.
2. Tré was raised in a rural area of Laytonville where his home did not have electricity, TV or curtains but he still managed to stay busy with outdoor activities.
3. His father stated that as a kid, Tré was quite a handful. He was a loud, obnoxious kid who was always putting up an act for entertainment.
4. His next-door neighbor was Larry Livermore, founder of Lookout! Records. He could not find a drummer for his punk rock band so asked a 12-year-old Tré to give it a shot. Tré immediately took to the instrument and started playing on every surface of his house and his car with his drumsticks, driving his family crazy in the process.
5. After merely two months of practice, Tré officially started playing for The Lookouts.
6. Larry Livermore added ‘Cool’ to Tré’s pre-existing nickname and thus his official stage name was formed.
7. He met his Green Day band members Billie Joe and Mike at the non-profit music club called Gilman in West Berkeley where Tré moved after dropping out of high school.
8. Tré’s supportive father improvised a used bookmobile to help with Green Day’s travel schedule and even acted as a driver for the band’s three different tours.
9. His father often feels surprised by the transition of all the Green Day band members into mature musicians with serious work ethic because when they got started, their interest in music was motivated by partying and getting high on drugs and alcohol.
10. Before Tré joined Green Day, the band was formerly called Sweet Children.
11. At the MTV Music Awards in 1998, Tré impulsively the Universal Studios’ rotating globe. He is the only person to get on top of that structure.
12. When Green Day band members Billie and Mike first met Tré, they described him as a loud and fast-talking young man who insulted anybody and everybody without discrimination. The two musicians even struggled to get along with Tré’s intricate / reggae style of playing the drums. However, they continued to work with Tré because he was more experienced than both of them.
13. In contrast, Tré often complained about feeling left out in Billie and Mike’s conversations because they grew up together since elementary school. He eventually fit in with their social circle and adjusted his drumming style to make his bandmates sound better.
14. He is the Godfather of Billie Joe Armstrong’s sons.
15. The drummer likes the idea of surviving an avalanche and hopes to experience it someday.
