just wondering if ne one else out there like their new CD. i think it's awsome and makes a great statement.

I like "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" but I haven't heard their whole CD...my roommate just bought it, so I might have to borrow it and listen!

Did we have a thread about this already? Anyway, I heard that particular song Thalia mentioned on the radio, and I was astounded: it is really good.

ive got the whole cd and that is my absolute favorite band. usualy as bands get older they try to change and it sounds like crap but green day has kept the best parts of there old and added the best of new punk and made american idiot. i have the entire cd and there is not one song on there i dont like. i like there old stuff better cause its the best music in the world but american idiot is awsome to. :D im glad someone finally posted about green day

lol see my icon (its billy joe there lead singer)

I love American Idiot and Boulevard of broken dreams, I think Green Day rocks!

This thread is to talk about Green day....

I really like Green day, I have pretty much all there CD's..share your thoughts.

Blvrd. of Broken Dreams is alright and so is Holiday, but they've both been overplayed to heck, and the rest fo the cd just bugs me. It also pissed me the heck off they won the grammy fro best rock album when it's not even the best of the year and nor is it rock!

they're not a bad band at all, i just think they're overrated...

Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the only song I like of theirs.

Im a fan of their older stuff dookie and Insomniac . Their new stuff meh, not for me.

I like Green Day in general, but I don't like all the political statements they make and especially the ones that were extremely prevalent on their new cd.

Basketcase is a good song though.

Peace

I agree, I was a big fan of the older stuff. The new stuff just sounds like... well... everything else on the radio anymore.

Brain Stew has always been my favourite song of theirs. But WARNING is the best CD though: it really showcased a more mature style than earlier and latter releases.

Green Day is aweosome rock n roll band one of the few real rock bands left

Green Dya is aweosme rock n roll band one of the few real rock bands left

??? whaaaa...?

has anyone heard the smashed version of "Boulevard" that blends that song with Oasis' "Wonderwall?" it's pretty interesting. i wouldn't say good, but it's cool how they fit together.

I heard that. You can do that with several songs and Saturn too. hehe

CJ

I hate how everyone and their brother on the sound of green day they are like "OMG..Boulevard of Broken Dreams is THE BESST SONG EVER!" and then your like what's billy joe's last name and there like.........Joe? :o

My Green Day rant

this cd isnt that great, if you were to get a green day cd i would say dont. green day has their songs but they arent too great.

green day is an awesome band well in my oppinion yes there older stuff is better but i dont like how people dont like the new cd just cause its trendy ive been listening to green day since i was like 4 and i dont care how trendy they get ill always like them and if you where a true green day fan it wouldnt matter to you either.

the only one i like by them is boulevard of broken dreams. did anyone see the songewriters concert on vh1 that had green day, it was on a about a month ago, they played there whole album and they talked about the songs. i didn't know anything about them so i watched, i just like blvd of broken dreams.

I really don't believe in some of the bands lyrics. But I like their strong punk.

i just realized there was no Green Day thread on here, does no one like them or what? American Idiot is awesome. They rock!

Yeah, I like them. They're cool.

I liked them back then not now.You know when they use to be good.lol jk :)

Check page 2. There's a Green Day thread there.

Hmm, Green Day strong punk? I think not. For that you need to listen to Bad Religion, The Clash, or The Ramones. My opinion...

American Idiot is like an awsome cd. and like yeah. i dont give a rat if it politcal. because bush sucks.

^bush sucks :o
umm..yay i like most of the songs.... :)
especially...
boulevard of broken dreams
american idiot and...
holliday

Wow, Green Day has the simplist music ever, I thought Nirvana was easy, but then I heard Green Day's new stuff, and I was like . . . wow, and the lyrics suck, I mean, what a combination? Plus, they're enitrely liberal. It's a 3-in-1 package combined into one ball of crap, what could be better. Now I don't have to post about Green Day anymore, so I feel better. Continue on with the thread.

Nimrod/Dookie are ok. American Idiot really isn't all that great. Jesus of Suburbia would have to be the best.

Go bob! I feel exactly like you do.

GreenDay was all kool till every poser out there started likeing them.
why is everyone trying to go goth or skater these days? gosh<stay with your own group. -lol-

I don't have to post about Green Day anymore, so I feel better
Good! We'll (I'll) feel better now also because we (I) don't have to read this drivel and waste my time.

Here's some advice: if you don't like a particular band, or disagree with their viewpoints, you don't have to post in the thread and lambast them. Simple as that. People who do post in the thread usually will like the band or point out the best attributes of the band. You won't have to waste energy because you won't have anything positive to contribute. Less effort on your part. Nothing wrong with that.

I don't pay attention to who likes what band much - or how popular they've become. I like a band for the music they've created. Green Day has been quite popular since Dookie. Their popularity HAS skyrocketed once more with American Idiot, but seriously, they've been a band many have enjoyed years before now.

(I agree with Jesus of Suburbia, that is simply a brilliant track and it's really the only one I play now on the album. It doesn't have the 'play over-and-over again' type of vibe to it as WARNING and Dookie did for me.)

I think it is just as much someones right to voice their dislike of a band as they do to voice their love. Bob had some really good points. While I don't judge bands on their how simple their music is most of the time, I do agree about alot of their political message.

i like them alot soothing to my ears after listening to lots of heavy metal (can block the ears up!)

If there's any GD fans out there, what's you're favorite song by them?
Mine are(in no order)
-Westbound Sign(Insomniac)
-Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?(Kerplunk)
-Going to Pasalaqua(1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours)
-Basket Case(Dookie)
-King For a Day(Nimrod)
-Jesus of Suburbia(American Idiot)
Those are my favs from the albums I have. But I can't choose just 1.

Holden Caulfield is my hero, he's so great.

anything off dookie is awesome

Wow, that was the most hateful thing I've heard today. Bashing a band on a thread where most others love the band goes against all my morals, and should be the same with you.

dont ever say nirvanas stuff was simple. thats like an insult to rock n roll its self.

if you think about it...there are so many other bands that have simple music...so why are you bashing green day? they aren't the only simple-writing band. and i love green day by the way...their old stuff anyway

At least they're not a bunch of stupid conservatives that can't get out of their own way. Oh wait, let's not bash political stances.

For the record, Nirvana's still great even if they are simple.
