'''Michael Ryan Pritchard''' (born [[May 4]], [[1972]]) is the [[bass guitar|bassist]] for the pop punk band [[Green Day]].

'''John Charles Ryle''' ([[May 10]], [[1816]] - [[June 10]], [[1900]]), [[England|English]] bishop, was born at [[Macclesfield]], and was educated at [[Eton College|Eton]] and at [[Christ Church, Oxford]], where he was [[Craven Scholar]] in [[1836]].

He met [[Billie Joe Armstrong]] in [[1982]] a few months before Billie's father died. Mike founded first [[The Sweet Children]] with Billie, and then [[Green Day]] in [[1988]]. Green Day put out ''[[1,000 Hours]]'' their first [[EP]] and ''[[Slappy]]'' was [[1990]] as their second [[EP]]. Green Day recently released [[American Idiot]] in 2004, which has been #1 on the charts.

After holding a curacy at Exbury in [[Hampshire]], he became rector of St Thomas's, [[Winchester]] (1843), rector of Helmingham, [[Suffolk]] (1844), vicar of Stradbroke (1861), honorary canon of [[Norwich]] (1872), and dean of [[Salisbury]] (1880); but before taking this office was advanced to the new see of Liverpool, where he remained until his resignation, which took place three months before his death at [[Lowestoft]].

Mike Dirnt got his name back in high school, when he would pretend to play the bass in school. He would make the noise of someone playing single notes on a bass, which sounded like "Dirnt, dirnt, dirnt" so the kids called him Mike Dirnt. He later made that his official stage name.

Ryle was a strong supporter of the [[evangelicalism|evangelical school]]. Among his longer works are ''Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century'' (1869), ''Expository Thoughts on the Gospels'' (7 vols, 1856-69), ''Principles for Churchmen'' (1884).

Mike used to play an old Gibson G-3 bass, but during [[Nimrod]] Billie got Mike his first [[Fender Precision Bass]]. Mike recently asked Fender if they could make him a custom P-bass and the result is a bass modeled after the 55' P-bass with a split-coil pickup in the middle. It was released in early 2004.

His second son, [[Herbert Edward Ryle]] was also a bishop.

Mike is also a bassist in another band called The Frustrators. They only play when they all can get together (which is rare).
