The reason Green Day went mainstream is simply for more fans to get their music. If they were still independent, hardly anyone would know who they were, and they won't have enough success as they do now.
Bass line is epic!!! I will admit, I found green day because of American Idiot but then I later went back and listened to the old stuff from dookie, insomniac, etc and that stuff rocked!! I am sick of a lot of these fans of the old green day calling them sell outs because of American idiot. They actually "sold out" when dookie came out because of it's commercial success. I don't care what anyone says. Green day will forever be one of the best rock bands of this generation!!!
Dude they sold out cuz they used to be straight up punk rock. I'm not talkig about the lyrics I mean in general they were a great punk band. But Now they are like pop rock. That's how they sold out.
haha i love the people who said they sold out...most of these people bought all those records and in turn got pissed cause they went maintsream to make it easier to get their music...watch green day behind the music and they talk about it...fuck you haters like you wouldnt take a record contract
What happen to the old greenday dint get me wring I stilll love greenday and will for ever but they should not have change there sound. And trè cool still does that leg thing when he's drumming lol Watch his left leg in this old vid and look at a more new one he does the same thing lol,
@Warhawk3800 fuck off its not the lyrics its the actual music moron and your just hopping on the bandwagon by saying "they cant talk about masterbating and girls, oh im so cool i thought of that myself" no fuck off.
people say they sold out because they dont play punk anymore.
@Warhawk3800 No, they actually sold out. Look just how they wear. 10 (and more) years ago they didn't give a fuck about new fashions, they put on what they liked. Look at their concert. They look like popstars. Their lyrics? Those were irreverent, unconventional, sometimes very unpleasant or pungent. Now they are almost the same of all the other pop crap out there. You cannot say they did not sold out. They DID. They almost are not the same band. Look at bands like NOFX. Matured but not sold out
you guys are reatards to think that green day sold out. Dookie owns, American Idiot isnt as great but still owns, and Green Day owns those who think he sold out well your like those fags who say metallica sold out for making a music video
hmm if your gonna be one of those asswipes who said green day "sold out", then your a fuckhead, because green day "sold out" with the release of dookie which this song came out with :)
Mike Dirnt said in an interview that he wrote the bass line while "trippin' on LSD"
they smoke their inspiration. Just one of the reasons why I love Green Day.
