I've got to say walking contradiction is my favorite song by green day. You've got to see the band preform because it's a totally different experience than just listening to them on the radio. Man I love old green day, new green day is pretty good too, but it's the old one that I love and enjoy. And DAMN Mike was hot back then!!
Most bands spend so much time on the lyrics that they forget the music... Green Day has more rhythm than most bands out there! And on top of that they have great lyrics and awesome energy live! They are the greatest live band the world has seen in like 30 years!
They also played that riff after the Ramones and Sex Pistols played on the Letterman's. Hell, Green Day introduced punk rock to David and the whole show loves them.
That is one of Dave's favorite bands. Dave has good taste in music for a guy the same age as my father. Dave also likes Foo Fighters, Johnny Cash, Alicia Keys, Warren Zevon, etc. He's all over the board as am I.
Well actually, i just got to know that Green Day performed that song. So, thats why i didnt add it in. Sorry about that. But its still available on someone else's channel. (:
he's more to me , he writes the lyrics the riffs, plays guitar and sings without him there is no green day, without mike or tre there also isn't green day anymore but still billie is the most important member of green day from my point of view
These guys are undeniably incredible. Mike is one of the world's best bassists, Tre' is one of the funniest. happiest drummers out there, and billie Joe is a remarkable singer and guitarist. There aren't enough words to describe them.
I agree. People always say that they suck because "individually, they aren't the best". But put them together, and you get gold. Pure excellence. I personally love them because of their music and their spontanious showmanship.
idd the have good songs, they stay in ure head they have good performance and sound great live and they are hilarious but I really think mike is a awesome bass player and belongs to the best and billie is maybe not the best guitar player but he is a good singer and tre is a good drummer but not one of the best but they all rock!
I agree. But im sick of people saying their nto good . The drumming on Homecoming, Jesus of Suburbia, and Waiting is amazing. The guitar intro on minority is complex and his ryhtm parts arent as easy as most rythm guitarist who play HIS STYLE of MUSIC(and he even sings while playing). Mike has also always a great bassist.
I think Tre is the best drummer in any rock band today. His drumming on Know Your Enemy and Basket Case is excellent I agree with you. It's hard to pick one favorite song from Green Day huh? Well as I said, it's nice to see Dave is still a rocker even at his age.
@VaultMusic105 Billie had musical talent from a young age I heard he wud just play around on the piano wen he was 2. Mike started bass at 13. Tre is just awesome xD
But their old stuff truly showcased their talent. Their new stuff is great...don't get me wrong. But they lost that grungy sound quickly. And Mike's riffs aren't as fun to play anymore. You've gotta cover them lol.
But they all are great. And i love their stuff. always will.
