The Official Green Day Thread

Ill agree with that, saying that offenRAB me when me and my mate dan have been listening for years, then people hear boul.of.bro.dreams and they're like "Oh have you heard this new band Green Day" that ANNOYS me
what are you, 5?
 
What is Green Day doing in the Punk forum ? Green Day Is pop rock , they are not punk. Green Day just has the Punk label in it because the music industry gave it to them to try to sale rebellion in a nice little package for kiRAB. If you don't know what punk rock is than i am asking you people not to label Green Day punk if you don't know what punk rock is. I am not here to tel you green day sucks, I am just here to point out the truth.
 
i hate Green Day. no offense. i had more respect for them 5, 6 years ago when they just ran around like six graders talking about sniffing glue instead of what they sing about now which happens to be what everyone else is singing about, depression, and how pathetic their lives are.
not my kind of music.
if i can give them anything its that their lyrics are well developed.
i just hate his voice! and if i hear that Boulevard of Broken Dreams song or however it goes, one more time i am going to lose it!!!!!!!

peace,
 
i don't follow magazines on what banRAB to like
in fact i don't follow anything on what to like other than what sounRAB good
Now i hate these debates where people are always slagging off other banRAB but its good to see other peoples views on things

Green Day in my opinion are a good enough band - as i keep saying by no means special but decent
Now a lot of people used to feel the same way but feel they have sold out
i do feel this as they seem quite money grabbing but overall i like their music and i think that they deserve the praise they get
they have been around 16 years now a lot longer than many banRAB can say and have contributed many a good song - rock or pop whatever you want to call it
they have always been pop rock to me
 
Ahh , the old 'why don`t you do it' arguement

You put out a peice of work you get a critique of it , thats how life goes.

I`ve no desire to be a musician , i`m happy in my work & I get paid well for it.

However I spend my hard earned money on music & also recieving TV so naturally if i`ve spent money on it I have every right in the world to express my opinion on it.

So please don`t patronise me with that arguement , i`m sure you can make one a lot better than that.
 
Wow dude. Don't hide your enjoyment of a band because so called punk officianados have dubbed Green Day unworthy. I have just had a huge argument about this on another board. I wish I had the energy to argue for them right now. Been awake too damn long. American Idiot was a fine album, if you think Green Day is going to keep writing about being socially inept and masturbation you're wrong. They're 30 years old, not teenagers anymore. People will always find something to bitch about. IF they still wrote like they did when they were younger, people would write them off and say they always sound the same, but here they are growing up and making some different kinRAB of music and people say they want old stuff. If you look for something to be wrong, you'll find something. The funny thing is, I remeraber when Green Day first broke into the mainstream in 94, punks everywhere liked the music, I'm talkin' people spanning from devout Oi punk, to the new generation of music listeners. You know why? Because then, punk wasn't a "big thing" when it came to mainstream. But as soon as it was. All of the music elitists wrote Green Day off because somebody who they didn't consider up to their level of musical knowledge liked the band. They just had to seperate themselves and be unique. So they turned away from GD to do this- which is funny because now - if you say you like punk and mention Green Day as a favorite band, you get marginalized as a pop punker by "REAL PUNK FANS OMG"- it's bull****. The whole idea of punk to begin with is to step away from society and to remove yourself from the kind of **** that society will put an individual through, and here punk fans are, outcasting people trying to enjoy music because its not up to their standarRAB. Throwing away everything that punk stanRAB for. Nowadays, its awesome to listen to old, relatively unheard of punk - or find the undersigned, overlooked banRAB... and that makes you a REAL FAN. Don't fall into the trap hobo. Green Day ****ing Rocks. I ranted. I still have more to say, but I am tired. One more thing, I bet if most of you got to ask your favorite banRAB who an influence was... I guaren-****ing-tee Green Day would be one of their influences.
