Just a year later, he recorded an album that also included the interview that can be heard in the intro to the Green Day songs Maria. In 1987 he founded the band The Sweet Children with Mike Dirnt and John Kiffmeyer , which was renamed Green Day in 1989 . After Kiffmeyer left, Tré Cool became the band's new drummer. In the early 1990s, Billie Joe played live with her fellow band Rancid with. Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong offered Billie Joe to join the band as a full member, but he declined in favor of dedicating himself to Green Day .

Für das neue Jahrzehnt hat man bei Epiphone einiges umstrukturiert. Die preiswerten und einzigen offiziellen Nachbauten von Gibson Gitarren, erscheinen ab sofort als Teil der Inspired By Gibson Collection und befinden sich von den Spezifikationen her näher am Original. Dem jahrelangen Wunsch der Community nach Annäherung an die berühmte Open-Book-Kopfplatte von Gibson, ist man mit der neuen Kalamazoo-Kopfplatte nachgekommen, die sich stark am Vorbild orientiert. Laut Gibson hat man außerdem die gesamte Serie nach alten Bauplänen redesigned. Neben einigen neuen Bauteilen wie Graph Tech Nuts und die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Gibson Custom Shop entwickelten Deluxe Tuner wurden besonders die elektronischen Bauteile erheblich verbessert, wodurch sich jetzt beispielsweise CTS Potis in den Gitarren finden. Auch die Pickups wurden generalüberholt. Die Grundplatte und Abdeckungen von Epiphones ProBucker werden aus 18% Neusilber gefertigt, die gleiche Legierung die auch bei Gibson während der Erfindung des Humbuckers verwendet wurde. Durch diese Verbesserung liefern die Tonabnehmer einen transparenteren und klareren Sound.
