I was and still am a 90's Green Day fan...

Dookie (1994)
Insomniac (1995)
Nimrod (1997)

When the 90's were done, so were Greenday...

for me.

Groovy,

Didn't you like American Idiot?

I am still not too happy with 21st Century Breakdown, it is OK, but not as good as American Idiot.

I think I will listen to some Green Day, I haven't listened to them in a while.

Not really. I dunno...after the 90's, I thought they lost their edge and ran their course and got boring - but that's just me.

But, their 90's stuff kicked ass.

I liked it when they wrote sweet break-up songs, like this...

Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and haunting you
It's time to quit
Cause you ain't worth the shit
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground

No one loves you and you know it
Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want
to hear.
Cause I hate you
Cause I hate you
Cause I hate you
Cause I hate you

I heard you're sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know you're going to die

Dickhead, f**kface, cock smoking, mother f**king, asshole,
dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die HEY

Red eye, code blue
I'd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull
When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave

Have you listened to the Debut:

Groovy Man · 06-16-2010, 12:23 PM

^ Actually, no...but after hearing those samples, I think I'll pass, no offense.

Maybe, I'm just Green Dayed out.

**Magic** · 06-16-2010, 12:31 PM

I understand. I am a casual Green Day listener, I have to be in the mood for their music.

hmm....i'm still not giving up on them

here's american idiot from the grammys

Fisha · 06-17-2010, 03:06 AM

Definately a greenday fan. Good ridance is one of the songs I grew up with and has a lot of meaning to me. OTher than that Dookie is brilliant, when I come around sits rather high on my list of favourite songs. I didnt' like American idiot origionally but then I heard Jesus of Suburbia and had a propper look into the philosify of the album and now TBH I consider it somewhat of a musical masterpeice. As far as 21st century breakdown goes 21 guns was a quality songs (despite similairityies to ELO's telephone line) Thumbs up on Greenday

ishu161 · 06-17-2010, 04:10 AM

yup...i really like Jesus of Suburbia.....i actually didn't like it at first...seemed all noise to me, but after a couple of listens, i really got into it, haven't heard many songs like it, and i also like the story of the protagonist's journey in the song.....the whole album was awesome

21st century breakdown was imo,somewhat weak.....i didn't like the first single "know your enemy" very much, and some other tracks were also kinda like fillers for me, thus far, only 21 guns, and the latest "last of the american girls" are the ones i love..

I still love (and own) the special MTV did along time ago (you know when they were MTV still). Having already been exposed to Nirvana I thought these guys were more refreshing during this time in music for sure!! (That's just my opinion though and nothing more)

I still love and remember when Billie started the song here off in the wrong key...showed no signs of concern and changed keys before singing. The mic stand went down (a fan threw something) before all this too!

LOVE IT!! What a band!!

Welcome To Paradise

Basket Case

rtbuck · 09-02-2010, 10:08 AM

"Welcome to Paradise" is my favorite tune! My friend was in a punk band in the early
90's which toured the east coast & he told me to go out & buy an album titled 'Kerplunk' by a band called Greenday which I did & it's still my favorite by them. I like them a lot

Syd · 07-06-2011, 12:07 AM

Now ... this here is a band that deserves a lot more respect than the one it gets. I think they are one of the top bands nowadays, with a great live performance. They play through their entire catalog and its really dynamic because they make the audience participate.

Tre Cool is one of the best drummers ever (in my opinion) and just gives the band all their punk power. Billie Joe Armstrong also has an amazing voice.

People kinda hate Green Day because they dress kinda "emo", but let's face it, in my opinion that's just pure ignorance, because bands in the 70's or 80's weren't any more conventional with their outfits. What people see avoids them from getting to know a great band. Maybe their overplayed singles have made a lot of people hate them ... but any music fan knows that you can't judge a band by their singles, it just isn't fair.

**Lord Grendel** · 07-06-2011, 10:22 AM

^^I'm not a big fan of the "emo look" either Syd, but I've never let that stop me from listening to Green Day's albums. They really don't seem like a punk band to me, not compared to the late 70's early 80's punk bands I grew up with anyway.

I like GD and play American Idiot and Dookie occasionally.

**METALPRIEST** · 07-07-2011, 04:50 AM

I heard the ticket prices for the new tour were like 174 bucks for nose bleeds??

I still like Green Day but buying those tickets would make me an American Idiot.

Tray73 · 07-07-2011, 06:06 AM

^^^ Good one

I only have one Green Day album - American Idiot which I really like. I love the songs Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Holiday, which is why I picked up the album. Not sure about their earlier stuff or 21st century breakdown - the odd songs I've heard don't really grab me.
