Best Power Trio Rock Band
Ranked #810 in Music, #20,812 overall
Rock Band with Three Members
Playing and creating quality rock songs with only three man band surely not an easy thing, it is required high level of musicality because the band with three members of which generally called "power trio" most have a lineup of guitar, bass and drums that require them to abandon rhythm guitar or keyboard used in another rock music to fill the sound with the chords.
The settings of a three piece band who have one guitar, one bass and one drum is usually needed a guitarist to play both rhythm and lead parts, and the guitarist is also mostly a lead singer, while the other band members become backing vocalist. Power trios usually stress the instrumental performance and the overall impact on the vocals and lyrics.
Emphasis on the guitar solos and crashing rhythm section of power trio contributed to develop heavy metals, despite some power trio would prefer to hard-rock label.

They are the best in rock n roll. They introduced punk to the majority. They led the punk band in the second stream. They introduced a sweet punk song to the world called "Good Riddance: Time Of Your Life" and this is their story....
The story begins...
The story begins from a kid named Billie Joe Armstrong that entering his fifth year at the school by meeting with Michael Ryan Pritchard (Mike Dirnt) a child who waschaotic mess and the best, he is a punk. Mike gave a lesson ofwhat is love and punk to Billie, and with their music become fused and decided to play music together. Then Billie and Mikestarted a band called "Sweet Children".
Mike Decided to stay with Billie because his mother decided to move from the BayArea because of financial problems, Mike then lived in the garage Billie.
Billie and Mike heard a place not far from their home, a place where all punker gathered to unite in music, a place where previously only a small club. Until now, that place named "Gilman".
Their first gig at Gilman is not very desirable because they think "Sweet Children" too "Pop" to hear "Hardcore Punk" music lovers. And finally, they met John Kiffmeyer (a.k.a Al Sobrante) to join the "Sweet Children" band.
Had time not favored and do not remember by "Gilman" community and almost frustrated because they had been sacrificed everything, to the point Billie Joe issued by his school. John finally stepped in, he tried hard to get the show for "Sweet Children" and take care of allspending money for enroll in the show. Then John also called the owner of Lookout records!, Lawrence Livermore for see"Sweet Children" perform, and not unexpectedly Lawrence liked and asked Billie,whether they want to make an album, Billie agreed.

Shortly before they released the single titled "1000 Hours", "Sweet Children"changed its name to "Green Day" that they get when they just sit all day and smoke pot. Lawrence was very angry heard this, but that is all they do for the best. And a year after Green Day appeared, their first album called 39/Smooth eventual release. Green Day really favored at the time, and after Mike graduated from Pinole Valley High School they were toured for 45 days.
Green Day is willing to sleep in the someone basement in order their music to be heard,
and sells mattresses and album to pay meals and buy gas for the cars they use for touring. But, a big problem coming, John left the band to continue his schooling and John did not tell Green Day, Billie just knew from a friend, Billie was very angry and not tell John that he has been replaced with a drummer who was introduced by Lawrence named Frank Edwin Wright the III, whois now better known as Tre Cool.

Blink-182
Short Biography
Blink-182 is an American rock band consisting of vocalist and bass guitarist Mark Hoppus, vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker. They have sold over 28 million albums worldwide since forming in Poway, California in 1992. With original drummer Scott Raynor they released their debut album Cheshire Cat in 1994 and achieved moderate success with its follow-up, 1997's Dude Ranch, which went on to sell over one million copies. Raynor was replaced by Barker midway through a 1998 tour.
The band achieved greater success with 1999's multi-platinum selling Enema of the State, which reached number 9 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of the singles "What's My Age Again" and "All the Small Things", the latter of which became the highest-charting song of their career by reaching number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Blink-182 gained popularity for their irreverent sense of humor, and the follow-up album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) reached number 1 in the United States, Canada, and Germany. The eponymously-titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk formula resulting in a more mature sound.
DeLonge left Blink-182 in early 2005, sending the band into indefinite hiatus. He went on to form Angels & Airwaves while Hoppus and Barker formed +44. Hoppus also pursued a career as a television host while Barker continued working in music as a producer and solo artist. Blink-182 reunited in February 2009 and their sixth studio album, Neighborhoods, was released in September 2011...Read more at Blink-182 Wiki
