Yeah, well, I’d rather watch USHER and RIHANNA than any of those turds anyway.
This was a “publicity stunt” you tards. And not one intended for you. Now go back to listening to The Melvins and thinking you’re clever.
Did you hear this from your best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend that heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl that confirmed it was indeed a publicity stunt?
solid intel, bro!

i have a soft spot for green day. them and the offspring and rancid. though i guess rancid has a little more cred on their side.
either way, i havent even listened to the new green day stuff, the last album i got of theirs was American Idiot, and to be completely fair, that album has some great songs on it. they have always been so-cal punk, so they have a lot of poppy fun elements.
im surprised to see so much backlash and hate here, but i guess i am like 20 years younger than most of the posters here. so i sorta grew up with the band.
but whatever, musicians are always having hissy fits about timeslots. no one cares.
they have always been so-cal punk
Too bad they’re from the bay area. Rodeo to be exact.
I’m still laughing at “iHeartRadio”!!

And they sound nothing like so. cal punk. They can’t hold the jock of black flag or circle jerks.
They’re just 3 chord pop.

Green Day are about as “punk” as Slash is “metal”.

black flag and the jerks are hardcore. totally different.
and ok, im from Jersey, anything that aint humbolt is so-cal. haha. but whatever, greenday has a total post social distortion glossed punk/offspring vibe, especially on the things before Nimrod.

I ain’t even mad!
Classify slash as whatever you want still doesn’t change my undying devotion to the man.
Now, where were we? Oh yes picking apart crappy greenday… carry on

Green Day=bubble gum pop for the mall crowd…always were…
Green Day is avante-garde experimental industrial blackmetal. I will be forever indebted to them for inspiring Burzum and Godflesh and Tom Waits.

So was Ministry, dood. In fact everything that employs a verse/chorus structure is actually bubble gum pop!
Oh, except the Melvins. They can do no wrong.

As usual I disagree with you…except for that part about Melvins[cool]
They WERE punk before hollywood got a hold of them. I think it’s kinda funny… And I agree that they’ve sucked since Insomniac. I did like some of Warning though. Last album they did before catering to the Hot Topic crowd (emo kids).

yeah, Warning had some good stuff.
i donno, Green Day was always fun, and like i said, i havent really cared or noticed anything after American Idiot, because i was turned off by the bob sound by that point, but still, i have a fondness for who they were at least.
Danzig throws bigger tantrums, and he STILL writes killer music. haha
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! This thread is hilarious. I remember in college around 1994 with online “newsgroups” (we had these horrible terminals with black and white text only monitors and we’d go to alt.punk or alt.metal and there’d be a nice primitive version of the bulletin boards we know and love today).
Two topics were ever-present on the alt.punk (or any other punk chat group) group:
- Is Green Day punk?
- Is Nirvana punk?
Then there would be pages upon pages of people all pissed off that someone would be so idiotic as to consider them punk . . . and then there would be pages upon pages of butthurt emos explaining why they were punk.
Punk, emo, pop . . . whatever. I don’t give a crap what anyone wants to call them. They both suck.
All green day sounds like pseudo punk to me. I don’t think album 1 sounds any different from their latest album… Hollywood had nothing to do with it.

I don’t really care if someone thinks they’re “punk” or “used to be punk”. What cracks me up is when someone talks about how Green Day used to be punk but then gets pissed off when Good Charlotte or My Chemical Romance is called punk.

I never went to alt.punk, but I spent a lot of time on rec.music.industrial.
- Is Ministry industrial?
- Is Nine Inch Nails industrial?

HAHAHA!!! YES!!! I remember rec.music.industrial too!!! Heck, we may’ve been on at the same time even. It was that group that got me sent to the student judicial board at my school.
