@petercrowley41 BILLIE Joe.

Green Day were indeed the best Punk band in the 90's.

They're just as important in music History as The Ramones or The Stooges, i don't care if everyone disagrees with me.

GD's Dookie album defined every 90's kid at that time. And also popularized kids interest in Punk rock at the time.

@hermionexxx words from the great Mark Arm: "i don't even want to mention skull ring....just won't, i dont want to get on that issue"...the album sucked monkey ass, and billie made it worse haha..

[theachtungtree]

@xPo1S0nXs0DaX haha...i could care less about billie joes opinion...PLUS theyre not reinventing the wheel either, and on top of that they do sound like fucking avril lavigne

[xPo1S0nXs0DaX]

@theachtungtree And in the End you don't realize that you're the kind of person that Billie would say "Fuck You" too. He doesn't care that he's not being "all-out" Punk, he's writing and playing the songs the way He, Mike and Tre want too and he doesn't give a fuck if thiers people who don't like it.

0:41 that was some really effective censoring.

@DarkGuitarKid well at the end it doesn't matter if a 3 chord song is better or worse than a 6 string guitar melody, in my case i can't even stand GD doing more "talented songs" beyond their old formula cause when they do that it just sounds like an avril lavigne song (wake me up when september ends) i just cant conceive them as a talented band now cause when they knew that "warning" failed all of the sudden they switched to chemical romance mode with fancier expensive vids & the money came

[DarkGuitarKid]

@theachtungtree I can tel you something though. Ramones were influenced by awesome bands, but Ramones made simple 3 chord songs.

Green day were also inspired by even greater bands when punk was still alive, and they too made 3 chord songs. Its only during the 2000s that they decided to make less raw but more talented songs that have more than 3 chords.

[DarkGuitarKid]

@theachtungtree Whatever you say man. I realised I should stop talking to you "elitist punk"

[theachtungtree]

@DarkGuitarKid the ramones were'nt influenced to make music cause of shit bands,they were influenced by GOOD bands like the velvets, the stones, zeppelin &.the detroit scene....not the same case that those legends like new bands, dylan saying that my chemical romance are good DOESN'T make em a great band, the thing is about discovering the real good stuff that influences you...green day seems like a totally embarassing band to even mention,i do not care if the awesome AWESOME kennedys like em

[DarkGuitarKid]

@theachtungtree Here's the thing. you might not be a kid, but you act like a kid trying to have a fight that this or that that he listens to is the best. Using words like "monkey balls", come on? . Most people that have good taste in music or actually play music do not act like you. They do not act like litle bitter kids trying to boast the music they listened to. The dead kennedys liked green day, the ramones liked green day.

While you, act like your a fucking nazi police of music. "Punk"indeed

[theachtungtree]

@DarkGuitarKid yeah...a "kid" who discovered the stooges by DEFINETELY not listening to a band worshipped by 12 year old mtv whores whom taste in music equals the most lower taste in music, i've talked to people who got influenced to play cause they were into John Coltrane or The Who...but green day? God, you're lost.
