American Idiot is the studio song Green Day. It was released on August 6, 2004 through Reprise Records and was produced by longtime collaborator Rob Cavallo. In mid-2005, the band began recording songs for an album titled Cigarettes and Valentines, but the master tracks were stolen, and the band decided to start recording a new album rather than re-record Cigarettes and Valentines.
Green Day decided to produce a rock opera, inspired by the work of The Who and several musicals. The album follows the life of Jesus of Suburbia, a character with "anti-hero" image created by Billie Joe Armstrong. Following early recording at Studio 880 in Oakland, California, the band finished the album at Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood.
June 2006, Green Day by Billie Joe Armstrong it's from 1994 album Dookie it's from 2006 album American Idiot
