The Green Day Authority For 25 years · Since July 2001
During King For A Day one night I stripped down to the thong and it was a big hit, so I started doing it. I did it at a Hell’s Angels festival one night and I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to die!' Billie Joe Armstrong

Notes

  • Exact date unknown. Prior to July 2nd, 1989
  • Billie Joe Armstrong: "...We used to play at Desba's house... We had great shows there with Monsula."
  • Todd Pritchard: "John Kiffmeyer demanded that Green Day played first in case the cops came. Fifteen and Monsula weren't happy about this because they knew that if Green Day played first, people wouldn't stay after Green Day. Billie Joe went on a date with Desba to her high school graduation (Benicia High)."
