FIRST WEDDING:
On Sunday afternoon, under a brilliant blue California sky and a flowered hupa, Green Day's drummer, Frank "Tre Cool" Wright exchanged vows with his long-time girlfriend Lisea Lyons. The bride was in floor-length white tulle and pearls, and the groom wore a blue suit and a yarmulkelooking very dashing but decidedly un-punk. Who among you would have believed that Tre Cool would have hired a string quartet to softly play "Beethoven's Ninth," "When I'm Sixty-Four," and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" for the 150 guests gathered in the poolside arbor at the Claremont Resort. ATN was amazed at how traditional the whole wedding wasexcept perhaps for the female rabbi who performed the ceremony.
Cool's Green Day cohorts, Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, also donned conventional attire, both serving as ushers in their finely tailored suitsalthough Armstrong's hair was verging on the flamboyant, gleaming copper in the afternoon sun. Someone asked Green Day manager Elliot Cahn if he was the groom, and he replied, "If I were I wouldn't be this nervous." But despite his nerves, everything went off without a hitchthe entire ceremony taking only twenty painless minutes. Armstrong and his wife, the exotically coifed Adrienne, looked disgustingly domestic pushing baby Joseph in his black and plaid stroller, as they threaded their way around the beach chairs, and potted plants to the lavish Horizon Room where the champagne reception was held. A reception where everyone conducted themselves with entirely too much decorum for our boorish rock-and-roll tastes.
SECOND WEDDING:
Green Day's drummer Tre Cool tied the knot on Saturday (March 4) to his girlfriend Claudia at a mansion in Brisbane, California, according to a source close to the band. The newlyweds are off for a two-week honeymoon in Hawaii.
After he returns, Green Day will start recording their fourth Reprise Records album on March 27 in a studio in Oakland, Calif. Now that the band is no longer working with producer Scott Litt, it's not yet determined if the band will self-produce the album or hire another producer. Grammy-winning producer Rob Cavallo will be involved with the recording, but to what extent isn't known yet.
