@ConverterBand becuz they probably like letterman and whys it matter i mean come on the best band ever on the best late time television show equals awesomeness
those were the days. not saying they dont rule still, but tbh, all their older stuff is far better than their new stuff, even though the new stuff is amazing, just shows how good they really are.
i must say they where way better in the 90s but i spose im only saying that coz im a teenager. spsoe they moved onto different music. but i prefer there old stuff
Been amazing for 15 years. American Idiot, Time Of Your Life, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Basket Case, 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, and of course my favorite Boluvard Of Broken Dreams. David Letterman has great taste for an old guy. He likes these guys, The Foo Fighters, Weazer, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Alicia Keys, etc.
The difference between Basket Case and 86 in this video is startling. They were so 'amateur' (for want of a better word) for Basket Case. A year later, they seem much more organised and like a real band. I prefer the basket case green day!
Wow, him and Adrienne go back a long way....Must have had a on-off relaiship. I love you, Billie. I adore you, Mike. I love you too, Tre`.....Did I just write that?
not rly, they sound better now, only thing u could say is that u like their old songs better, thats taste stuff, but hasnt got to do on how they actually play, and at the moment the band plays better
no dude they got married in late 94 and then found out that she was pregnant the day after they got married. Then the their first kid was born in 1995.
Are you sure? That neck looks like a vintage Kramer bass, my bass teacher had one much like this, but can´t appreciate it well enough...looks like a vintage 250B to me...
Actually,they are GODS of Punk Rock to me + the have been the most most successful punk rock band.....and they are different from other bands.
Eg-they stop in the middle of a song to stop telling guys to do what they are doing(like hitting or molesting someone or bossing around)...i havent seen other bands doing like that except Green Day
Their just awesome!!!
