LAD, you gots it all kindsa backwards and shit. I'm rockin' the new record right now and it melts/slays my face!

In its musical muscle and sweeping, politically charged narrative, it's something of a masterpiece, and one of the few -- if not the only -- records of 2004 to convey what it feels like to live in the strange, bewildering America of the early 2000s.

This is from AMG and I agree.

i liked dookie. and i liked that song ''brain stew'' but other than that they really just didnt have anything i found i liked. i saw a poster in guitar center a while ago with green day on it and they were acting really retarted and i jsut despise the drummer. they all look so phony. i heard that the singer said they were more punk than the sex pistols...what in the world?


total CRAP

One of those moments:

Watching Green Day on stage at Gilman St. some time in 1989. We played a nice little show with them. I've never seen that many kids trying to get into Gilman at one time.

I remember thinking, "Man, these kids have turned into a great band. They do what they do just right. They're going to be huge, and they are going to have a trillion lame ass fans."

I think I nailed that one.

NOT crap.

Well, Green Day along with Nirvana is the whole reason I even really got into music. I don't listen to them anymore, but I don't mind listening to them.

Not crap.

Billy Joe is quite a songsmith. I reserve that title for very few individuals.

Not Crap, :wf: 2

(for the two mediocre albums)

BTW: Warning is their best album. And that song 'Blvd. of Broken Dreams is a blatent rip off of Wonderwall by Oasis.

Green Day was one of the first bands i started listening to
(i grew up listening to a lot of classical music because of my parents, and
being in orchestra)

Kerplunk is a GREAT record, and I still listen to it on occasion.
I even went out and bought the new album, and what can i say,
i like it.

BTW: Warning was the only album they made that made me
question my musical taste - that album was horrible

NOT CRAP 4 (strictly because of Warning...and maybe because of the eye makeup)

without any doubt green day are NOT CRAP.

american idiot album brilliant

jesus of suburbia and st jimmy fantastic.

dragon what did you say to mega city four

I regard Green Day as a "Gateway band", kind of like a gateway drug only not as good.

For instance a 12 year kid sees Green Day's brand of easy listening pop-punk on MTV and buys the record -more likely downloads it for free- and... to cut a long story short- he is buying Clash and old punk records a few years later instead of the latest Justin Timberlake single for is girlfriend.

That has to be a good thing...
