Green Day version 2.0:

The Network

In 2003, during time Green Day spent in the studio, a New Wave band appeared on the scene, known as The Network. Three of five members of the band are also members of Green Day. The frontman, known only as "Fink", is Billie Joe Armstrong. Armstrong has referred to himself as Wilhelm Fink in the past and Fink's identity is confirmed on his Pinhead Gunpowder web site bio. Armstrong's voice is also unmistakable on The Network's albums. The Network's bass player, known as "Van Gough," is Mike Dirnt; and The Network's drummer, "The Snoo," is thought to be Tré Cool. John Roecker, director of "Live Freaky Die Freaky," starring Green Day and other East Bay punk alumni, and Green Day's DVD Documentary "Heart Like A Hand Grenade," has spoken of various projects recorded at Studio 880, including a New Wave album and a Christmas album, during the sessions of their latest album. Studio 880 is the credited studio in The Network's Money Money 2020 album and Green Day's American Idiot. No official connection has been made between the two bands, and both bands have defended, sometimes aggressively (in a probably staged press conference where some members from both bands engaged in a heated argument then broke out in a minor conflict), the lack of connection between the two. Green Day's management has always declined to comment on the ongoing situation between Green Day and The Network. On October 6 The Network agreed to support Green Day with Jimmy Eat World on the American Idiot tour.

The end of the American Idiot tour saw The Network support Green Day three times, along with Jimmy Eat World, playing the opening slot.
