No one's probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there's a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.
If you just take a min and give me a chance I'll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.
I like this version, but the best, for me, its John Lennons Version. I think, the feelin of him, what he feels, you can see, feel and hear it in his own song at the best!
one of my friends sang this at a school concert. after he came to me, hugged me and whisperd "that was for you." i nearly cry every time i hear this because of the memories and reasons behind why he did it.
well not long before, my mum died and left me orphaned. but i kept goin to school. kept carryin on. the reason he did it is because he thought i was a hero for bein so strong.
As far as the makeup thing goes, bands have been doing it forever from David Bowie to The Stones and Kiss. Wearing makeup doesn't make you gay, but, kissing a guy that wears makeup does.
Ok. I'm an old fucker that remembers when Lennon's version was banned for using the word fuck. Musicians throw around curse words nowadays to be cool. Lennon was making a statement about society and trying to shove it in the face of an establishment that didn't give a shit about the average person.BTW, I do like this version though. This is Green Day honoring a legend.
I disagree - for what its worth - i love the industrial chain. This version does as much justice to the song as Lennon and is as individual as Faithful - there are far worse covers
"American Idiot" uses the words "faggot" and "fuck" in it, actually. And the belts are not /technically/ gay, although, I believe, belts in general are rather useful for related purposes, so perhaps your assessment is not /too/ far gone...
And seriously, all humans who are shown on television wear makeup. The level of makeup should not necessarily make or break their sexuality.
that's not a good cover, quite a poor one in fact. all they added to the original song is power chords and heavy drums, nothing imaginative. of course it sounds good, because the original song sounds good.
i think its a good cover, and its good a band these days has something to say,i cant remember the last time any musician said anything about what is happening in todays world. good on them.

Not sure about this song. It's kind of... eh, and Lennon'll prolly do it better if I try listening to him doing it.
'Course, I can't hear for shit, so maybe it'll be more interesting if I go stare at the lyrics... Then again, lyrics are Lennon's, so.
