Billie Joe Armstrong was destined to be a rocker


Billie Joe Armstrong was destined for stardom – and that was clear at an early age.

The Green Day frontman shared Wednesday a picture of himself at Berkeley’s Fantasy Studios in 1977 along with his singing teacher Mrs. Fiataroni and the engineer during the studio session. Armstrong notes that he was recording a track called “Look for Love” and coincidently recorded Green Day’s major record label album Dookie in the same studio 16 years later.

Green Day recently played at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and is currently on tour promoting their latest album, Revolution Radio.
