People criticise GreenDay for their simplistic music, even I find it easy to learn on guitar. But I don't think they've seen them live, because to be able to run around that stage, sing and play the guitar in all the different ways Billie does, I think that takes skill, because I don't know many people, or bands for that matter, who could put on a show as well as Green Day can. They will always be my favourite band.
@TheChibberd could not agree with you more, saw them on both tours 3times for 21st Century Breakdown, each times they got better and better. to be able to keep a crowd entertained for 2hrs 50 is pretty good, can't wait to see them again in the future!
When I saw them in concert, they always seemed happier or more energetic playing their old school songs...like it took them back. I enjoyed their new stuff, but man nothing beats Billie wailing on the guitar, Mike hammering on the bass and Tre going crazy on the drums to some good old dookie tunes. Righteous.
@IIIBACARDIII Just goes to show that the fans love, and want to hear, the old Green Day. And if you ask me, Billie and the guys seem to have more fun playing this stuff. Not that I completely dislike their new album(s)...but really, after Warning...it kind of went down hill a bit.
@DarkGuitarKid I can dig that. And that's why I respect their new style, and the musical changes that came along with it. They've simply evolved as a group. I, as do many others, just personally prefer the older songs/style. But I can totally see what you're saying.
@MrCruelworld These songs only need 1 guitar so there is no point in using him because people the hardcore fans want to take it back to when they were 3 piece
dude i love green day and at 94 i still throw mud in our friendly mud fight did you see the mud hit billie hair on fod i throw it i was aimin for tre :D
lol you can barely hear billie at the beginning because the crowd now knowing all the word to song like basketcase show some people actually listen to real music and not that ass hole jb( i dont wanna say his name)
Green Day is one of the best bands to watch live. They always give it 110% and they always sound really great. And Green Day fans are the coolest people in the world :D
At the bottom of the neck, were its all brown. Is that a mud stain from woodstock 94 were some doucher threw mud at the guitar while they were playing "When I Come Around"?
all this rap pop and all that shit sing abt failed love and how it failed and what have you but green day they seen abt life you can relate to it that is gift if you can do that long live green day
i think billie has some serious issues , he never gives mike a chance to show what a great rockin bassist he actually is. turn up the fucking bass!!!!!
reading festival waz amazin i was there that year and it waz just amazin there wasnt one part were the crowd wasnt singing every 103,698 people at that stage were singing
btw i guessed the numba but it was around 100,000 ppl hehe
I hate my life. The time when I began to like Green Day, I wanted to go to one of their concerts, but I was too young (fuck off). Now, I'm wondering if I'll ever see them live again =/
Were the crowd singing because I can't hear them...
