Fun Fact: Green Day's first drummer was John Kiffmeyer, also known by his stage name Al Sobrante. Kiffmeyer played a crucial role in the early days of Green Day, helping them book gigs and navigate the punk scene. He played on the band’s debut album "39/Smooth" and the subsequent "Slappy" and "1,000 Hours" EPs before leaving the band in 1990 to focus on his education. Tre Cool would wind up replacing him, becoming the band's permanent drummer. John is now an experimental filmmaker, specializing in green screen techniques and producing numerous commercials.
