What American musician, of the bands Pinhead Gunpower and Green Day, created the record label Adeline Records?
Adeline Records Adeline Records was a record label which was formed in Oakland, California, United States in late 1997 and closed down in August 2017. It was created by Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, Screw 32's Doug Sangalang, Green Day guitarist Jason White and professional skateboarder Jim Thiebaud. Green Day's management company, Pat Magnarella Management, took over ownership of the label and ran it from his office in San Diego for many years. In July 2017 Pat Magnarella split from Green Day having managed them for over 21 years and shortly thereafter Adeline Records abruptly closed down. Adeline Records was named after a street (Adeline Street) that runs from The Port of Oakland through West Oakland and NOBE, terminating at Ward St and Shattuck Ave in Berkeley.
Adore (The Smashing Pumpkins album) Adore is the fourth studio album by the American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released in June 1998 by Virgin Records. After the multi-platinum success of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" and a subsequent yearlong world tour, follow-up "Adore" was considered "one of the most anticipated albums of 1998" by MTV. Recording the album proved to be a challenge as the band members struggled with lingering interpersonal problems and musical uncertainty in the wake of three increasingly successful rock albums and the departure of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Frontman Billy Corgan would later characterize "Adore" as "a band falling apart". Corgan has also mentioned the fact that he was going through a divorce whilst recording this album.
