Green Ade

About Me

The project was formed by Roy Bennett, Rob Mardle and Paul Greenwell of the well-known English cover band Too Rude at the end of 2005. Their idea was to propose a performance true to that of a Green Day concert, both from the musical and visual aspects. This has encouraged the trio to add a second guitarist, Matteo Salvadori just like Green Day have done during their latest tour of their multi platinum album 'American Idiot'.

The three founding members of Green Ade grew up listening to the same influences as Billie Joe & Co. These range from The Clash to Sex Pistols, and Ramones to The Jam. This is even more apparent when we see songs like Blitzkreig Bop and I Fought the Law appearing in both the set lists of Green Day as well as Too Rude.

The group can rely upon the experience of these four musicians which have been playing shows under the name Too Rude for the last 10 years in Italy and the rest of Europe, in which, averaging over 100 gigs a year, it..s likely that they have played as much as Green Day themselves!

The group made its debut appearance at the well-know rock venue Thunder Road, Pavia (Italy) at the end of February 2006 paving the way for Green Ade in becoming the yardstick for other Green Day tribute bands across Europe...
