likewise. These guys introduced me to my first punk rock bands too. God, I would be such a different person if i had never listened to fucking green day haha
and why the fuck not? he was one fucking TERRIBLE president. why shouldn't they voice their opinions? If you don't want to hear about the real world, then grab all the non-political green day you have and go live in a cave. no one will miss you, i promise.
im 20 years old and ive been listening to greenday since i was 5 years old,they are the best band in the world,but there new stuff is horrible,when did they go from smoking pot and goin insane to politics,leeve the politics to antiflag and varukers not gd,yucky
do you even know what a sell out is? just because a punk band plays something other than punk doesn't make them a sell out, i personally think playing only punk would be boring as fuck. and selling out is when you do something you don't want to just for them money, and they hace seemed to be proud of what they;ve done, si i don't see how they are sell outs, though i will admit its sad they've drifted away from the dookie sound, i still don't think they are sell outs because they play other music
they used to be a punk band is what i implied, i didn't mean they were a punk band now. billie even said they weren't a "Punk" band, he said "we don't want be one of the biggest 'punk' bands in the world, we want to be one of the biggest bands in the world."
true that 1,039 and kerpulnk had a good punk sound and i prefer them over anything they made after dookie for sure.
you can pretty much see how they got where they are. I just cant believe how good this video is. My God, Im never getting sick of these guys, even through my metalcore phase.
Kinda ironic cuz this song is about how, now that their so big, they will never be able to return to the Berkely scene like they did before they got huge.
Dude, My first concert was insomniac tour when I was 15 in late 1995. It was sick. The band had so much energy and was it was soooo loud. There was moshing twenty minutes before the opening band came out.
The energy in the punk/alternative scene in the 90's was nuts. Concerts today are nothing like the were 13-14 years ago.
Watch any of the Jaded in Chicago 1994 performances. Particularly the Longview and She performances. He's definitely on speed then, compared to those he definitely isn't in this.
internet is not for english or american people only, everyone can say what they think... think before u say stuff like that.. just wanted to tell u...
tré is in my opinion the best punk rock drummer in the world! i mean look at it! and i will stab everyone with a steak knife who ever sais travis barker is better !^^
no,,, mcr are great..... only the Way brothers are not... Bob is cool.. the two guitarist are cool. especially frank... green day are not so famous.....
hahaha he's probably on an amphetamine insomniac was when they started doing speed or at least billy that i know of...i hope not tre...guys got too much energy as it is he doesnt need speed lol green day kicks ass
2. Insomniac is around the time the all STOPPED taking speed because they decided to kinda of clean up their act because they were having children at the time.
true, but i love the gd sound with only three instruments and vocal. it was simple and better. i lost interest in this band when warnimg came out. BUT they were my fav band up to nimrod. bought lots of their shirts, posters, rare live vhs, went to their shows from like 95', and even have mike dirnt's autograph.
I heard they were on the road summer of '94 and they heard a radio DJ say the had sold 8.6 Million copies of Dookie. When they started the tour in January '94 they were nobodies (except in the Berkley scene).
what green day became since the last album is really sad.. a mellow chicks band.. if you think they're still play rock, then you don't know what is rock'n'roll about
im pretty sure the song is about when green day was young back in the year 89' 88' before they were signed to a major record label......they used to play at 924 gilman street and when green day signed to a major record label 1993 for their album dookie gilman kicked them out or some shit like that and i think hes talking about how theres no return from 86 and by that i think he means his past experiences with gilman
its about billie joe being rejected when he returned to his hometown because he was a sell out. but of course when your around for 18 years playin at woodstock and reading you will be big
July 27 is GREEN DAY DAY! Every Green Day fan must support the band doesn't matter if you liked them since 39/smooth, Dookie or American Idiot. Wear any T Shirts, jeans, hats Request their songs to radio stations or play their music on your ipod If you're a fan of this band, spread the word of this to everyone Post this? on any Youtube video with Green Day Music videos, fan videos, ect Let's make July 27 a GREEN DAy!!!
AND ITS GREEN DAY!!! i LOVE them because thay are one of the BEST and GREAT bands in the whole fucking world!!! Put Green Day up with any band? And they WILL KICK THEIR ASSES!!! I LOVE THE OLD STUFF!! 1,039 SOSH - American Idiot!!! GREEN DAY FOREVER!!!
