I don't care much about either band, but this annoying hipster needs to shut the hell up. Screw being patriotic - the cause of more wars than even religion.
@MegaFRITTS hey dude...search for ''mr brightside''by the killers it has many more views than american idiot...and also many other killer's songs have more views...i dont want to argue cause i like both (green day and the killers)....but to be honest killers mean a lot more for me.....I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM !!!!
That idiot just made himself look like a dumbass lol obviosly hes jealous because Green Day has beaten the killers in every award they are both in and the killers have been fading away slowly while Green Day continue to make Great music and realeasing awesome grammy winning award album with another albun coming up and American Idiot is not a childish song LOL !!!!!!!!!!!! and guess what American Idiot has outsold every killers albums combined also Americ Idiot beat Hot Fuss for a Grammy GD<3
So many hipocrites on this video. You say Branden Flowers is ignorant because you say he doesn't know anything about Green Day? Well how could you possibly know that?
The killers are the best thing to happen to music in a long time....they wouldn't waste their time writing a childish song called "American Idiot"...screw green day, you owe your fame and fortune to America a-holes, think about that. Killers keep on rockin'!
Both great bands, but seriously what exactly is Brandon trying to prove by saying that about Green Day ?? they released that album / DVD because the audiences in England are very good. They played many many songs in 'Bullet In A Bible' that spanned their entire career not just songs from 'American Idiot'. he just made himself sound ignorant.
What this dude doesn't understand is that Green Day does not really care what he has to say. I actually am somewhat thankful for this man.... if it weren't for people like Brandon Flowers, Green Day would have had no assholes to rebel against, and therefore, they would not exist.
@MarcusKiner Green Day's older songs are full of rebellion hate for people like this guy. As for me, I don't cosider myself a "rebel" or a "punk" at all. Im just a fan of Green Day. And I'm not cool. Actually, alot of my peers probably think im wierd... that's why I listen to green day. It's something that you probably wont understand because you seem to relate to the meaningless lyrics of the KILLERs. #L.A.W.L.
@182bha LOL, "Green Day's older songs are full of rebellion hate for people like this guy."
You couldn't tell me a thing about "this guy."
Without googling, I bet you couldn't name 10 non-singles of The Killers and give me their premises. I bet "this dude," knows a lot more about Greenday or music in general than you ever will haha. Now go back to reading pitchfork or whatever it is you hip kids do nowadays. Why don't you try to listen to their music for once, without bias, may do you good.
@MarcusKiner when the day comes that I can name 10 non-singles of this band, I will tell you where I live and you can come shoot me. You're right, he does know more about music than me- he is a mainstream selling artist. But that being said, Green Day is bigger and better than his band ever will be, whether you believe they are a "punk" band or not, it is the truth. Just as I am criticizing someone more musically talented than me, he is criticizing Green Day, a talent that he cant match.
@182bha LOL, Greenday is NOT bigger, The Killers are a the best ticket to headline any stadium/festival/backyard bbq you can think of. Who do they ask to headline lollapalooza, hard rock calling, coachella, T in the Park, and V fest every year? The Killers fool. The Killers are arguably the hottest concert ticket in rock at the moment, nobody cares about Billy Joel Armstong and the old boys. Greenday is on the decline. They aren't even as relevant on the stadium circuit.
@MarcusKiner You sir dont know about real music yea Green Day is on the declined cuz i still remember Grammy winning 21st Century Breakdown and where are the killers now GD is about to release a new album and again where are the killers at? and no Green Day have better concerts and Brandon Flowers is a poser trying to copy Billie Joe's style
Ok, The Killers used to be my favorite band and I still listen to them sometimes but... this is retarded. The English people were SINGING A SONG. Not proclaiming that they dont want to be American idiots. They were just sing an amazing song.
As I can recall (read it somewhere), Brandon did NOT say it's anti-american or anti-war. It is the thousand of non-american people singing that song which they(englilsh) may interpret it differently from american point of view. I don't know if I said it clearly what i mean?
I am a huge Green Day fan so i come in this with an open mind though.
But he said it about ONE SONG, American Idiot, and says, "Would have made more sense American kids shouting it." ...Maybe in his view, but you dont play at a massive venue, and NOT play the eponymous song of the album?
Next, i dont think hes listened to the whole album yet. Holiday, American idiot was really agains bush and all that. Now this was like 2 years or so after the invasion of iraq, and england was involved...
You would pretty much blame bush and maybe america for convincing our government to jump in too. In fact is probably meant A LOT MORE to people here, not in america, because that was the view many probably had: Bush was an idiot for going into iraq and Blair for joining him, pushed on by Bush.
Of course he is allowed his opinion, but he is another person who loves money not music, and beefs up his image to fans by slating another band, who sing more sense than he does.
Times have changed, Green Day have a movie coming out on american idiot, practically in conflict with this guys beliefs. Nice music but seems a bit of an "american Idiot" (had to say it) who knows that he hasnt got a chance against what Green Day now have to their name 5 years on.
Even the actual show uses "Holiday" as their intermission track.
I love how everyone is saying Green Day are the ones who need to grow up, when this video was recorded when Brandon Flowers went around trashing every band (:
okay, i like The Killers, they have awesome songs, but i am more fan of green day, so i say Brandon that is the kind of music, songs have green day, if you dont liked so fuck off
as much as i love the killers (well at least hot fuss, sam's town is ok and day & age sucks), i can't help but feel brandon flowers is really an arrogant douchebag. first of all, he sounded like a total tool on this vid, seeing how he clearly did not know what he was talking about. it was recorded in England b/c that was their biggest show. they did the same shit all over the U.S. lol billie joe even says before playing holiday "this song is not anti-american, its anti-war!"
The Killers are younger than Green Day but are wayyyyyyyyyyy better. Brandon Flowers is amazing! So he said something that a lot of people took offense over. So what?? Doesn't every frontman? LOL. It just so happens that I agree with Brandon and think Green Day need to grow up... they're not 14 years old anymore, so they should stop acting like it
i like the killers their are really good band and have great songs. Im also a die hard Green Day fan and i think that people like brandon flowers have the right to express what they think. and if pople cant respect that then their just fucken stupid and need to get over themself. Not everyone has to agree with what people like. Green Day Rocks!
Finally someone said it! I agree with Brandon Flowers. Green day are a bunch of little bitches that whine about anything and everything. This just made me like the Killers and Brandon Flowers even more!!!!!!
Jeez... American Idiot went to freaking Broadway, Flowers made the worst solo album I've heard for some time. I've always loved Green Day and used to love The Killers, but they keep doing things that make me dislike them.
@NeverSaidYes Brandon Flowers' album wasn't bad. Probably not to your taste though (seeming as you like green day, which is a totally different style of music to brandon's album) and plus you could say the same about green day, i mean they've slagged off an entire country for christ sake, and they did it in a song aswell. at least the killers don't sing about how crap they think green day are (i am a greenday fan btw)
@ElidirMillen Hmm... yeah, I can agree with pretty much everything you said. I guess basically if I had to pick Green Day or The Killers, it'd be Green Day.
i love brandon flowers more than anything in the world....and i back him 100%. hes brilliant and everything he says is pure gold. dave, you cool kid :3 ily brandon.....and green day kinda sucks :)
And you all clearly know nothing about Green Day because they have been a band since 1987. And have 6 albums before American Idiot.
They toured this album in America before England, the Live DVD was set in England. Its not like they were scared of the feedback the point is they didn't give a shit.
And obviously he was still pissed of because Green Day beat them 3 times at the VMA;s in 2005 and won best rock album of the year, best video and best song for American Idiot.
After actually watching this video, I kinda see what he's saying. I don't think his point is made clear by other people.
I agree that filming the dvd in the states would have had a much stronger message. This is obvious. The song is directed against Bush, and I think it's stupid when people from outside of the states all jump on the bandwagon and say "i hate bush, bush is stupid, etc." just because it's so easy to. Especially when most of those people aren't even affected by him.
@sweetrevenge191 Many countries have allies with the US, and because Bush entered the war, other countries did too (England, Australia etc) I know people who have died in that war, so please don't say that doesn't affect me because it does, personally. Also, when the US economy collapsed, the WHOLE world went into the GFC. If he regulated the economy better in his time (Although Obama is to blame too) and spent less than they were making on millitary, it wouldn't have happened.
First of all, these two bands have a different style of music. And i love both of these bands, but if they are two different types of music, its not really something you can argue about. If Flowers doesn't like the music, he can really say anything about it because he doesn't know how the people feel about that music. Its the same with Greenday. They cant say anything about The Killers.
What does it matter anyways, both of these bands after getting very known with their ablums went mainstm
ALL RIGHT SHUT THE FUCK UP about this shit alot of musicians say wht they wanna say and personally i think there better the killers are awsome and come on guys even green day say tht dont some bands if u r going to be asshole about it read the facts that green day does hell i saw one video that the lead singer kick an audience in the face i think thats way worser than brandon saying that green day sux soooo again SHUT THE FUCK UP
Hey people you are crazy! You're freaking here out just because these 2 bands have different opinions. Everyone is allowed to have his own, also GD and B.FlowerS. I love both of them, especially because they do such a good music and I don't feel I betrayed TK or GD just because I'm not only on 1 side. BJ dares to scream his opinions to the world (and thanx to it his texts aren't meaningless like TK's music sometimes), but I also appreciate Brandon for using honestly his right to have an opinion!
oh god, I read a couple of comments here, and people seriously need to lighten up. I am a huge fan of The Killers, but I like Green Day as well. You people hating on Brandon ALL have your opinions on TK's music. The only difference is that you aren't famous. Perhaps Brandon, being famous, shouldn't have said it, so that he didn't cause this sort of pettiness on the internet, but it's an OPINION. Get over it, it doesn't stop Green Day making music, or affect how much you like them.
i dont know if a lot of you realize this but people have OPINIONS. this word "OPINION" is some ones thought or idea of something. everyone is going to have a different opinion on things. its really sad that i have to educate people on the freaking internet. why isnt brandon flowers allowed to say what he thinks with out a bunch of idiots bitching at him? stop being jackasses and think about it.
Wasn't Bullet In A Bible recorded in England because it was their biggest show on the tour? And Green Day aren't emo! Hahaha emo is short for emotional, everyone's emotinal. Green Day are more successful than The Killers, Brandon's probably jealous.
im so over this and all the comments cuz at the end of the day more people like green day and in 20 years no one will no who the killers r and green day will still b known by everyone cuz they have made 20 years of great rock music and still running stronger than ever, and one last time. FUCK U BRANDON FLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!! billie joe has more talent in his toe nail than what u do all up
@jackoisagun19 Slow down there, kiddo. How can you possibly insult Brandon for his opinion and at the same time give your opinion about him? Ever stop and think about that if you were famous and had said "Fuck you Brandon Flowers!" and all that shit that you'd get grilled too? Because you would.
flower ur a fucking tool, ur just jealous cuz u write songs that have no meaning (are we human or dancer) who really gives a fuck u talentless fuck, just cuz u wouldnt hav the guts to write a song like american idiot like the great billie joe armstrong. ps fuck u brandan flower and ur shit band
@jackoisagun19 their songs are for people with brain it isn´t literal, and he never says the meaning he leaves it to your imagination and what guts? saying "american idiot" isn´t punk nor brave for example you are jacko the idiot does that icrements my braveness? no. and stop saying "fuck" if you want say "sex" is the same your comment is like a baby comment the ones that stupid people comment with 3/4 fuck and 1/4 senseless words
I don't think it's fair that Brandon Flowers seems to think that English kids had no idea of the concept behind American Idiot - We got pulled into the Iraq War, we suffered under the Bush regime too!
haha...23 years of hard work.platinum albums..65 million sold records worldwide..4 grammys....and then people say Green Day is nothing compared to The Killers?? The Killers just started in 2001 and then..they are more professional than Green Day? WTF! Green Day gave their hearts and soul to create AI..and then called Cheap and Anti American?...
@greendayrocksmuch its gay is what it is. Greenday should have stayed in the 90's. I consider them in their Greatest hits era, actually they are kinda like the Brett Farve of Music. They just wont quit and they don't realize that only delusional people... much like yourself, actually like them. HAHAHAHA!
brandon flowers is right,also greenday ain't punk see what the lead singer of the sex pistols thinks of them,greenday is pop rock poser wannabe punk,fuck green gay
Billie Joe started since he was 14 - He knows better than that brandon flowers!!! U sing about somebody told me that you have a boyfriend who looks like a girl friend" and comparing with american idiot!!!! think before you comment one the best punk band ever!!!
The Killers are posers they know green day is a better band than them so they call them cheap. doesn't matter where they perform the genre of music doesnt change.
Why Green Day fans are mad about it? Just like GD talks whatever they want about the entire America, Brandon is talking just what HE thinks about a band.
Everyone has one opinion and if it's different from yours, nobody can change it.
@patcristina it's not an opinion he made, actually listen to what he says, he thought that Green Day made the DVD in England cause they were scared of doing it in the US. Well shit, what does he know about punk rock? He's just a wannabe. /End of.
one more note: do not even try to label a Green Day song, especially american idiot. Their songs are much more complex than most mass-produced shit of today.
Bwt, It's green day not greenday we don't say thekillers do we?
I'll say straght out that I am a Green Day fan and that I only really know one song by The Killiers (Somebody Told Me) and I think Brandon is being slightly melodramatic. Yes, the concept may be a bit complex for some but it is not a hate song and Green Day fans (like those people in england) know that. People who are likely to buy Bullet in a Bible know that.
Hey guys im not calling anyone out and im in no way a expert at this but ive decided im going to throw my grain of salt in. The Killers and Greenday are both great bands If you dont like one or the other accept it. Im a fan of both bands Brandon is entitled to his beliefs the same way we express them here Its not about being labeled as punk or emo or alternative or how many albums you sell Its about the people you reach with your music. and sides you guys are getting worked up but they arent
SCrew brandon he doesnt know shit. It does mean the same thing to me as it does to an english kid. WERE ALL THE SAME. u human is a human no matter if ur english chinese vietnamese americans brazilian african or german.... who cares and im sure no english kids are guna come bomb us like everyone is so afraid of . GD 4 LIFE
@tehredhatkid You're truly a jackass you know that? Why the fuck do u even care if i used the wrong worrds or spelled them wrong? Get a fuckin' life dude... You're just makin' yourself look like an idiot.
How convient he said that Green Day were cheap and anti-american just about the same time he released an album.
He was like 'oh don't listen to American Idiot, it's bad. Listen to my super cool album instead' he's the cheap bitch.
And Green Day were on there 7th album when he spoke about this, they can do what they want. And American Idiot is anti-war not anti-american, do your research Mr Flowers.
Green Day sings American Idiot at every single one of their shows. Bullet in a Bible was released because it was the bands biggest audience of their career and it showed how far they've come. It wasn't released to anger and criticize Americans. Besides, American Idiot isn't a song about America being stupid or anything. It's about the Bush era and it basically criticizes George Bush because he was an American Idiot and fucking screwed up our country.
@ChuckTaylor14 Question, how did Bush screw up our country when his first year in office we were under attack in our own land? Bush has had the hardest term out of the last 4 Presidents (excluding n0bama). Not everything will be peachy and grand in America man, things go wrong, and you just blame the person in the Oval office, much like Greenfag, i mean Greenday. P.S. Most of the so called "screw ups" bush had, were decsions made by congress. The President has less power than you think idiot.
How could you even think Green Day was anything close to as good as The Killers?! Green Day is shit compared to TK! Brandon Flowers is right. TK 4 Life!!!
@roflmao5551 why would they be jealous? the killers have such a unique style, greenday is just a generic punk band. Its two totally different types of music so you must be a retard to think you can put Greenday up with the killers.
@tehredhatkid OR you can actually listen to music and see that Green Day is the exact opposite of generic. Go find one thin that makes Green Day generic and then come back. Brandon Flowers is just trying to promote his album over green day so he doesn't have to actually make good music. I liked some of the killers music (pre-Day and Age) but this is just him being a paranoid asshole... O and your a paranoid asshole too:) love u! <3
@bubbleboy775 can i shove it in your ass with the rest of your problems? stop getting so upset about it! The Killers are better, thats not an opinion, that is life. BONER!
@bubbleboy775 Are you serious? Hahahaha I weap for you my child. Clearly one of your ignorance doesnt understand that The Killers are smeckzy, while Greenday, should enter their greatests hits era, because its long over due
@bubbleboy775 lol what are you talking about? Live From Royal Albert Hall ring any bells? Live CD with a video of the Concert. It may not be labeled Greatest hits, but they couldnt put every single song they have ever made on one CD you know, they had to make due with only a few. The Killers are still young bro, hate to say it. There is plenty of time to label a "greatest hits" album. There is a big difference between a 10 year old band and a 20 year old band. Get those old farts outa here
@bubbleboy775 oh! i love you, you are like a brainless little kid! of course greenday is generic what are
they doing by saying "american idiot"? i let you think about it if you have it right i´ll give you a jelly bean! besides they are followed by you little brainless kids oh! sorry brainless teenies (i forgot you are growing) who believe they are punk and a revolution and i like every single album and day and age is genious what you don´t like of it?
@0crazytaco0 What the hell are you talking about hahaha! I tried to follow you but your rambling bored me so i got lost. And besides Green Day did a fuckin Broadway show! go find a band that came out of poverty and makes incredible music that gets a following so huge that they sell out two days of stadium shows, in a different country, and create such intimacy that they can get every single kid out there to scream back "Dont wanna be an American Idiot!" Green Day is not just music
@bubbleboy775 yeah i know, the killers for me isn´t just music it teaches like" but you always hold your head up high cause it´s a long,long,long way down" or "They'll strategize and name you, but don't you let 'em tame you
You're far too pure and bold To suffer the strain of the hangman's hold" or "this is the world that we live in i can´t take blame for two" maybe im understanding what you feel i hope you are. still don´t like them
@0crazytaco0 ... Its a way of life. its who i am, and its who those english kids are. Green Day saved my life and how dare you come in here with your idiotic, selfish, pig-headed, conservative bull shit. if you want to comment on not liking there music, then thats fine but dont you dare insult me, and every other kid, who eat, sleep, and breathe Green Day like its some pop sensation. People like you and Tehredhatkid that make me sick because you dont think about anyone else.
@bubbleboy775 not thinking in anybody else i have to send my homework, i´m sick and i am aswering all your comments haha by the way i read that of teredhatkid hahah it was funny but actually why i don´t think in anyone else i didn´t even know you had problems, i don´t even know you, well now i know you a bit. haha conservative bullshit? hahaha if i am conservative i wouldn´t answer that @jackoisagun19 a weirdo haha joke to say sex instead of fuck it just piss me that he said a billion times fuck
@bubbleboy775 not thinking in anybody else i have to send my french homework, i´m sick and i am aswering all your comments haha by the way i read that of teredhatkid hahah it was funny but actually why i don´t think in anyone else i didn´t even know you had problems, i don´t even know you, well now i know you a bit. haha conservative bullshit? hahaha if i am conservative i wouldn´t answer that @jackoisagun19 to say sex instead of fuck it just piss me that he said a billion times fuck
@0crazytaco0 go away please ur obviously not mature enough to b in this convo, hense u like immature killers songs that r about nothing and u hav nothing better to do than bag a great band like green day just cuz in shitty mexico goverments r always under pressure
@0crazytaco0 Green Day is all about being an independent person... its a sad day when making music about issues with your country, the country you know and love, is called un-patriotic or associated with an anti- American viewpoint. This country was founded on questioning authority, and idiot like George Bush, Dick Cheney, Glenn Beck, Bill Orielly, and Sarah Palin are the most anti- american people i can think of. Heres a little hint to all you idiots, if punk is reviving, expect a rude awaking
@bubbleboy775 haha you know i am not american well i am if you are talking about the country, i am a mexican girl and i live in mexico city, don´t come to tell me about "american idiots" when here isn´t a fairytale besides questioning government isn´t bad we all do, Felipe Calderon isn´t the best but with this type of song what do you get if you don´t take action,is like peace you won´t get it using peace symbols.
@bubbleboy775 hahaha yeah you know i am not american, i´m a mexican girl,i live in mexico city but how can you just say "american idiots" when here isn´t a fairytale, when every single day people die, every single day you see the army, it is okay to question the government, Calderon isn´t a dream but with that kind of songs you don´t get anything, you don´t change anything "if punk is reviving ... nothing will happen" it is different if you take action for a GOOD change
@coolandlethal wow... that was the worst joke ive ever seen. Why would you want to kill the most beautiful man ever. Ive seen Brandon Flowers in concert, he is a handsome man (no homo). Besides, the only good Greenday songs are on Nimrod and Insomniac. All the rest blow nutsack.
@ButterworthAve I agree that recently there music is more pop-ish but there old stuff was punk. But honestly you cant expect a band of 20-or-so years to play just like they did when they started. Billie and the boys have evolved there style. Is that selling out? i dont think so. You cant expect them to keep singing about masturbation there whole lives. Theyve got families and theyve moved on. now they sing about politics and religion more than girls, but girls are definetely part of their story
Green Day is no comparison to The Killers, case closed... Brandon Flowers is a musical genius and The Killers are a great band, their going to be remembered as legends one day, you wait and see!
@Nemosiss1 Green Day pointed out flaws in America and its people in 2004 with "American Idiot" they are true role models for not being afraid to speak the truth. Since no country has prefect gov't system, etc. I think we can all learn to open our minds and see the flaws in our own countries instead of turning our heads and continue to embrace ignorance ;)
It silly to accuse Green day in not patriotism... They urge the American people to think again and realise that will suffice to be such passive, sry for english
im a huge green day fan, i actually like green day more then the killers but brandon flowers is right, to people in america singing"dont wanna be an american idiot is anarchy nd trying show people the stupid shit going down in government! but the way people in england take it is as if there making fun of america. like it means tottally different things... i understand what he's trying to say nd he is right.
lmao pretty sure george strombo would have like to punch brandon flowers in the face.
wtf does brandon flowers know about punk!
what a doink! yea they did it at miltons keynes, that just means billie mike and tre got there message out to the world asfar as england and germany! now ppl in tyhose countries know about what a crap goverment george bush was leading.

Without googling, I bet you couldn't name 10 non-singles of The Killers and give me their premises. I bet "this dude," knows a lot more about Greenday or music in general than you ever will haha. Now go back to reading pitchfork or whatever it is you hip kids do nowadays. Why don't you try to listen to their music for once, without bias, may do you good.

@MarcusKiner when the day comes that I can name 10 non-singles of this band, I will tell you where I live and you can come shoot me. You're right, he does know more about music than me- he is a mainstream selling artist. But that being said, Green Day is bigger and better than his band ever will be, whether you believe they are a "punk" band or not, it is the truth. Just as I am criticizing someone more musically talented than me, he is criticizing Green Day, a talent that he cant match.

@182bha LOL, Greenday is NOT bigger, The Killers are a the best ticket to headline any stadium/festival/backyard bbq you can think of. Who do they ask to headline lollapalooza, hard rock calling, coachella, T in the Park, and V fest every year? The Killers fool. The Killers are arguably the hottest concert ticket in rock at the moment, nobody cares about Billy Joel Armstong and the old boys. Greenday is on the decline. They aren't even as relevant on the stadium circuit.

As I can recall (read it somewhere), Brandon did NOT say it's anti-american or anti-war. It is the thousand of non-american people singing that song which they(englilsh) may interpret it differently from american point of view. I don't know if I said it clearly what i mean?

I am a huge Green Day fan so i come in this with an open mind though.
But he said it about ONE SONG, American Idiot, and says, "Would have made more sense American kids shouting it." ...Maybe in his view, but you dont play at a massive venue, and NOT play the eponymous song of the album?
Next, i dont think hes listened to the whole album yet. Holiday, American idiot was really agains bush and all that. Now this was like 2 years or so after the invasion of iraq, and england was involved...
NiCk14AlPhA 7 months ago
You would pretty much blame bush and maybe america for convincing our government to jump in too. In fact is probably meant A LOT MORE to people here, not in america, because that was the view many probably had: Bush was an idiot for going into iraq and Blair for joining him, pushed on by Bush.
Of course he is allowed his opinion, but he is another person who loves money not music, and beefs up his image to fans by slating another band, who sing more sense than he does.

Times have changed, Green Day have a movie coming out on american idiot, practically in conflict with this guys beliefs. Nice music but seems a bit of an "american Idiot" (had to say it) who knows that he hasnt got a chance against what Green Day now have to their name 5 years on.
Even the actual show uses "Holiday" as their intermission track.

The Killers are younger than Green Day but are wayyyyyyyyyyy better. Brandon Flowers is amazing! So he said something that a lot of people took offense over. So what?? Doesn't every frontman? LOL.

And you all clearly know nothing about Green Day because they have been a band since 1987. And have 6 albums before American Idiot.
They toured this album in America before England, the Live DVD was set in England. Its not like they were scared of the feedback the point is they didn't give a shit.
And obviously he was still pissed of because Green Day beat them 3 times at the VMA;s in 2005 and won best rock album of the year, best video and best song for American Idiot.

After actually watching this video, I kinda see what he's saying. I don't think his point is made clear by other people.
I agree that filming the dvd in the states would have had a much stronger message. This is obvious. The song is directed against Bush, and I think it's stupid when people from outside of the states all jump on the bandwagon and say "i hate bush, bush is stupid, etc." just because it's so easy to. Especially when most of those people aren't even affected by him.
sweetrevenge191 9 months ago 3
@sweetrevenge191 Many countries have allies with the US, and because Bush entered the war, other countries did too (England, Australia etc) I know people who have died in that war, so please don't say that doesn't affect me because it does, personally. Also, when the US economy collapsed, the WHOLE world went into the GFC. If he regulated the economy better in his time (Although Obama is to blame too) and spent less than they were making on millitary, it wouldn't have happened.

Ok,
First of all, these two bands have a different style of music. And i love both of these bands, but if they are two different types of music, its not really something you can argue about. If Flowers doesn't like the music, he can really say anything about it because he doesn't know how the people feel about that music. Its the same with Greenday. They cant say anything about The Killers.
What does it matter anyways, both of these bands after getting very known with their ablums went mainstm

You people hating on Brandon ALL have your opinions on TK's music. The only difference is that you aren't famous. Perhaps Brandon, being famous, shouldn't have said it, so that he didn't cause this sort of pettiness on the internet, but it's an OPINION. Get over it, it doesn't stop Green Day making music, or affect how much you like them.

Green Day sings American Idiot at every single one of their shows. Bullet in a Bible was released because it was the bands biggest audience of their career and it showed how far they've come. It wasn't released to anger and criticize Americans. Besides, American Idiot isn't a song about America being stupid or anything. It's about the Bush era and it basically criticizes George Bush because he was an American Idiot and fucking screwed up our country.
ChuckTaylor14 1 year ago
@ChuckTaylor14 Question, how did Bush screw up our country when his first year in office we were under attack in our own land? Bush has had the hardest term out of the last 4 Presidents (excluding n0bama). Not everything will be peachy and grand in America man, things go wrong, and you just blame the person in the Oval office, much like Greenfag, i mean Greenday. P.S. Most of the so called "screw ups" bush had, were decsions made by congress. The President has less power than you think idiot.

@bubbleboy775 hahaha yeah you know i am not american, i´m a mexican girl,i live in mexico city but how can you just say "american idiots" when here isn´t a fairytale, when every single day people die, every single day you see the army, it is okay to question the government, Calderon isn´t a dream but with that kind of songs you don´t get anything, you don´t change anything "if punk is reviving ... nothing will happen" it is different if you take action for a GOOD change

@coolandlethal wow... that was the worst joke ive ever seen. Why would you want to kill the most beautiful man ever. Ive seen Brandon Flowers in concert, he is a handsome man (no homo). Besides, the only good Greenday songs are on Nimrod and Insomniac. All the rest blow nutsack.

green day isnt really punk. more pop. they sing more about women trouble than anything

@ButterworthAve I agree that recently there music is more pop-ish but there old stuff was punk. But honestly you cant expect a band of 20-or-so years to play just like they did when they started. Billie and the boys have evolved there style. Is that selling out? i dont think so. You cant expect them to keep singing about masturbation there whole lives. Theyve got families and theyve moved on. now they sing about politics and religion more than girls, but girls are definetely part of their story

Green Day is no comparison to The Killers, case closed... Brandon Flowers is a musical genius and The Killers are a great band, their going to be remembered as legends one day, you wait and see!

Green Day is SO OVERRATED. Dookie was a nice album, but after that, pffffffffffffffff
The Killers have much better songs but the two bands are completely different styles of music anyway..so the comparison is stupid.

@Nemosiss1 Green Day pointed out flaws in America and its people in 2004 with "American Idiot" they are true role models for not being afraid to speak the truth. Since no country has prefect gov't system, etc. I think we can all learn to open our minds and see the flaws in our own countries instead of turning our heads and continue to embrace ignorance ;)

BIAB was filmed in Wembley because it was their biggest gig ever (the title was taken by the recent Wembley gig last summer.)
Try some eye contact, buddy.

It silly to accuse Green day in not patriotism... They urge the American people to think again and realise that will suffice to be such passive, sry for english
