-== Biography ==
-Armstrong was the youngest of six children born in [[Oakland, California]] and later raised in [[Rodeo, California]]. His father, Andy, was a jazz musician and truck driver who died of cancer of the esophagus which spread throughout his body when Armstrong was ten. His mother was a waitress at Rod's Hickory Pit which Billie and fellow mate [[Mike Dirnt]] and friend Brandon O'Lech ended up working at in their teen years. He insists that his name is spelled with an 'ie' because, according to the liner notes in ''[[1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours]]'', "Billie's mom spelled his name wrong on his birth certificate 'cuz she was on drugs from labor". He is the only member of Green Day who uses his given name.

-Armstrong received his first guitar from his father shortly before his father's death &mdash; a Fender [[Stratocaster]] copy by Fernandes, nicknamed "Blue." Armstrong still uses replicas of the guitar, with its duct tape and sticker covered appearance. He sometimes still uses the original "Blue" at concerts. It´s a bit difficult to see the differences between the original and the replicas but he´s still playing it. "Blue" was used in some of their most popular [[music video]]s including "[[Basket Case]],"[[Brain Stew]]/[[Jaded]]", "[[Geek Stink Breath]]", "[[Stuck With Me]]" and some more. He now tends to use a Gibson Les Paul, rather than Blue. Other instruments that Armstrong can play include piano, bass guitar, drums, harmonica, mandolin, and the saxophone. He also plays the trumpet.

-The first song he wrote was called "Why Do You Want Him". It was written in [[1986]], when he was fourteen years-old, and was about his step-father, who he didn't like. The song appears on Green Day's debut album on [[Lookout! Records]], ''[[1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours]]''.

-During his stay in school he was nicknamed "Two Dollar Bill", because he was supplying the school with [[marijuana|joint]]s for two dollars. In [[1988]], Armstrong formed a band called [[Sweet Children]] with childhood friend, Mike Dirnt, and [[Al Sobrante]] (b. John Kiffmeyer). They changed their name to "Green Day" in March 1989, just before the release of their first EP, ''[[1,000 Hours]]'', on [[Lookout! Records]]. The name was their slang expression for a day of pot smoking - they watched TV while being stoned and [[Ernie]] used the term "Green Day", so it became kind of an insider joke. In 1990 Sobrante left Green Day for college and was replaced by [[Tré Cool]] (born Frank Edwin Wright III), who appears on Green Day's second album, ''[[Kerplunk!]]''.

Together, they are co-founders and part owners of the independent label [[Adeline Records]], and he has a side band called [[Pinhead Gunpowder]] which is on [[Lookout! Records]]. Armstrong,has also worked as a producer, most notably in a co-production with noted punk producer [[Mass Giorgini]] of Chicago punk legends [[the Riverdales]]. He has two sons, Joseph Marciano (b. March [[1995]]), and Jakob Danger (b. September [[1998]]).  He is also rumored to be a part of a band called [[The Network]] and denies that he has any part in it, but he tends to lie alot.
