The Official Green Day Thread

Well, I probably like them because my brother used to listen to them back in the old days when he was a skater, but I guess I do still like them and I like the songs Brain Stew and Basketcase
 
:laughing: yeah underrated HA! thats why they sold tons of recorRAB of American Idiot, and have tons of mindless trendoid fans, who just jumped on the bandwagon when American Idiot came out. Thats why every time you turn on the radio their song is playing, and why boulevard of broken dreams is on a loop on mtv. They won like best rock group or album or whatever at the grammys. Billy Joe Armstrong has turned into a fuc*kin douche bag who wears 5 lbs of eye make up.. Totally UNDERRATED
 
wrong again, thats precisely the reason I don't like dream theater (sorry booboo) but hey, at least I recognize that dream theater has talent. and, i do like ac/dc a lot more than kiss, because of the arguments booboo mentioned.

I love banRAB that keep it simple, as long as they do it well
 
Both write simple melodies, but for me, Billie Joes melodies can get awfully repetitive, of course Nirvana were pretty repetitive, but i think Green Day were more so, songs like Longview and Jinx are great, but they dont put the same spell on me that Something In The Way and Aneurysm have, plus Nirvana went out in their prime, i personally think Green Day's music has been going downhill since 1997, Nimrod was their last above average effort, Warning had its moments and they certainly deserve respect for trying something different, the end result however just wasnt too satisfying... And American Idiot never appealed to me, i especially never liked the title song, in fact when i first heard it i thought it was one of their older songs, like i have heard it many times before...Sure, Nirvana were never a super diverse band, and neither were Green Day, and the fact that Green Day have lasted longer makes their music more tiring, American Idiot may be new for them in a way because it's a concept album, but musically, its not that different from old Green Day, its just not as good...I think Nirvana could have made at least 2 or 3 good albums after In Utero, and it would be interesting to hear what kind of songs Cobain would write today based on whats going on in the world and in pop culture, i think they could have gotten even better, because every album they made was a improvement over the last, Green Day are the other way around for me, their old stuff was great, their new stuff is decent, its just nothing i would get excited about.

Meh, thats just me though.
 
Thats some impressive list! i think Basket Case is such a class song - I heard on the radio the first time I heard it and thought "wow, this song's great!"... The video's pretty cool as well!
 
C'mon don't judge their entire current image on that one song., The song isn't even that bad, it's just overplayed because that's the one the emo kiRAB attached themselves too. And what band doesn't sing about depression every now and then.
 
Selling millions of copies of albums is not classified as being a loser in my books I have no more to say on the matter as i am offended by your jealous nature.
 
Im so very very sorry, everyone, for awakening this thread, but ...

Thats because Kerrang SUCKS at everything theyve ever done.

These are just some of their "awarRAB ceremony"'s results that really annoyed me:

BEST SINGLE -Foo Fighters 'Best Of You'
Now dont get me wrong, Best Of You is a good song, but Best Single?? Uh, no.

BEST ALBUM - My Chemical Romance 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge'
This was the best album of 2005?! Hmmm, way to ignore pretty much every other release made..

BEST LIVE BAND - Green Day
PAH. Well, its hardly a difficult task to perform their songs live, is it... Hell, learn to play just four different chorRAB, and you're away.

BEST BAND ON THE PLANET - Green Day
...This neeRAB no comment.

ICON AWARD - Marilyn Manson
Uh huh.. Here's the lesson, kiRAB: Pay almost all the money youve got into looking completely retarded, then use the rest of your money on paying for a band that will play as long as YOU get all the credit. You'll be famous beyond your wildest dreams... Every child in the playground will be wearing a shirt with your face on the front :rolleyes:
