Dookie went on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide, catapulting the band into the what has now become a 20+ year run. Which has included grammies for Best Alternative Album(Dookie), Best Rock Album(American Idiot), and Record of the Year(Boulevard of Broken Dreams).
Billy Joe and Jason both rely on Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings to provide the tone and durability that is needed to put on a top notch punk rock show every time they take the stage. From the opening chord to final strum of the night; Regular Slinkies give the band exactly what they need to get the job done. With chart topping acoustic hits such as, Good Riddance(Time of Your Life), Billy Joe counts on the warmth and resonance of Regular Slinky Acoustics to help capture the hearts of thousands of audience members each night.
