I used to really, really, hate green day just because they were pop punk which I thought was the stupidest thing, I mean isn't that just an insult to punk music? but honestly, they are kinda catchy and I find myself sometimes humming their tunes. So even though I hate them, I have to admit they do have a few songs I don't mind listening to. But you people who listen to green day 24/7 need to just listen to some serious music and stop crying about their parents. What I don't like the most is the older fans who are now like 30-40 still listening to green day and giving the younger generation fans shit for not being as big a loser as they are. Grow up and drink a beer and realize your life sucks because a green day concert is the one thing that got you out of the house since that party you escaped your home for when your parents were sleeping back when you were 15. Oh and when amican idiot came out, I think that is really why I hate them... I mean all the songs from that album were just annoying. they don't live in america, so shut the fuck up you dont have to worry about being an american idiot because your not american... So quit patronizing all the teenagers who bought that album because they are american idiots and they ate it up. Thats like me starting a band and singing "I dunno wanna be a canadian doushebag" shut up fat person hater

And like I said, I don't necessarily hate green day, just the fans, and you guys never fail to remind me why. I'll let you get back to your teenage angst... at 25. Relive it boy, you're still young!!! Party like it's early nineties! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/08/2009 11:35PM by Coma79.

I dunno they are different levels of emotion, some angst can be listened to until your 80, others obviously enough were meant to stop by the time your dad can no longer punish you for being out late. Maybe its because all my angst is worked up against forced religion, and other angst is worked up against being grounded...one of them you tend to grow out of faster than the other. Or come to think of it I may now be thinking of blink 182... Yeah I'm almost positive now I was thinking of blink 182... Either way, trent's boyish angst ending on "I guess I'm not the only boy for you." Funny though, just now reading lyrics off of green days american idiot their lyrics seem a lot better than what their singing has lead me to believe. Either way as good as the lyrics are something makes a tiny blood bubble burst in my head everytime i hear it... Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/10/2009 08:33AM by Coma79.

I really want some of the crack that the writers at Rolling Stone are smoking because they and everyone else in the entertainment world seem to think it's the greatest thing to ever happen to music. They have got to be deaf...Play "Jaded" and "Know Your Enemy" back to back. It's fucking pathetic. I long for the days of careless pop punk songs about being fucking baked and doing nothing...and the days when Billie Joe Armstrong didn't wear eyeliner. eeeww

It's not very punk, but still sounds good. I'm pretty sure you could apply it to getting "fucking baked and doing nothing".

I don't think green day is that childish.. blink 182 is really childish. what's my age again? Maybe you spend more time hating bands like blink 182 and simple plan than wasting your time on the green day thread.. The concert was pretty incredible, they had fireworks and lights and confetti. Some guy came up and played all of jesus of suburbia and some other dude sang longview, he wasn't very good but that must have been insane for him. I wish I was closer. They all put on hats, scarves and crap for king for a day and the lights went rainbow ;D you're jealous.

The new album is pretty much American Idiot Part 2. I agree with you and I don't agree with you. Sure the albums sound the same because they were made one after the other and then also because they are both "rock operas", more so 21st Century Breakdown though. I love both albums though, sure they aren't exactly the punk pop they were back in the 90s and even early 2000s but I think they still make damn good music. This is probably a bad example but bands mature and change their sound it happens all the time. It happened to Metallica and people got outrage, but when I hear music I don't think about the genre they are in or whatever. If the album is a good album its a good album. I love Dookie as much as I love 21st Century Breakdown. And I am really glad the few people who have been to the shows are impressed with them. I am seeing them on July 21st and I amn very very excited for them. It will be my second time seeing them. They were my first concert during the American Idiot tour. And for those of you that went, how is the merch? I wanna get a really fucking awesome t shirt. I enjoy the one that was posted above.. might get that one.

I did happen to love Dookie like crazy at one point in my life and it still has a small place in my heart to this day. It was proof that even three chord songs could still have at least a somewhat distinct sound, which GD were lucky enough to achieve at the time. I haven't bothered to pick up their latest release, but from what I've heard from it, I have no interest in it whatsoever.

DJgif member you and whose army? Joined: 04/19/09 Location: Canada Posts: 9,443	At the concert they had tons of merch. I posted the tshirt I got but it was really difficult to choose, one even said "July 4th 2009 vancouver, BC" and no other tour dates, they made it only for that show. I don't know if they're doing that for every stop, probably. They had arm bands and stickers but I didn't have time to look at those.. I liked the colour coordination on the shirts, alot of them were green day as cartoons and other typical graphic styles. very nice.

When I saw them during the American Idiot tour the shirt was around 25-30 dollars so that wasn't too bad, is it still the same? And I do like that shirt a lot, I might get it...

Kekumba member Joined: 04/15/09 Location: Ottawa Ontario Canada Posts: 76	Saw them last night. Brought back lots of memories. Not really a fan anymore, but my interest has kind of risen again. Highlight of my night was 2000 Light Years Away. Love it. About the shirts, they had one that had just Ottawa on the back, so I'd imagine they do it for every show. Also, shirts in the States should be $35, and $40 in Canada as far as I know. Not 100% sure on that, though.

cadair8 member Joined: 12/21/07 Posts: 4,400	Gotta say the concert I was at last night, probably the best concert I have ever been too. Green Day is the perfect combination of silly and music. This was the second time I saw them and they continue to keep me enthralled in their concerts. I hope there is another North American leg of this tour, I would enjoy seeing them again. Their music was spot on, crowd interaction was kick ass, the lights and visuals were awesome. It was just so perfect for me. And yeah shirts are 35$ I'm kinda annoyed though.. there was one girls shirt that was so kick ass, it was red, damn being a guy lol. I ended up getting the shirt that says Green Day has their faces and on the back it says Philadelphia July 21st 2009

I mean I haven't really hated anything they've done yet, but nothing off of 21st Century Breakdown has impressed me enough to go buy it. Know Your Enemy was okay the first couple of times I heard it, then it started sounding like American Idiot Part 2.

cadair8 member Joined: 12/21/07 Posts: 4,400	dcj have you heard Restless Heart Syndrome? Or either of the two Viva La Gloria's? Those songs are great pieces of music, it doesn't sound like 90's Green Day but who cares. In my opinion it shouldn't matter if a band sounds like how they once did, as long as they continue to write music that sounds great I'll listen. I said this before in this thread, but I love when a band matures and changes their sound. I love Dookie, but I honestly don't think I would still listen to them if they played music like that anymore. It would just get repeative and really boring after a few albums. They can still rock those old songs like no other when playing live, but its great to hear the variety in there.

That's kinda what 21st Century Breakdown is doing for me, I think the stuff that's off of it sounds REALLY close to American Idiot. I liked American Idiot, it wasn't that bad of an album, but I've already heard American Idiot. I don't hate the new songs, and if other people like it, that's great, it's just not for me.
