Green Day in my opinion are a good enough band - as i keep saying by no means special but decent
Now a lot of people used to feel the same way but feel they have sold out
i do feel this as they seem quite money grabbing but overall i like their music and i think that they deserve the praise they get
they have been around 16 years now a lot longer than many bands can say and have contributed many a good song - rock or pop whatever you want to call it
they have always been pop rock to me

my dear foolish naive scot.....i see that you're an optimistic newbie...when you've been on this board as long as i have you will see that there really is no point trying to rationalize you liking green day or these kids thinking they suck horribly......just give it up man....

But you got to give them their dues for what they've acheived even if you don't like them

Tre is acutally an okay drummer. I can play better than Billie but he must be given some credit. He can make some catchy riffs.

American Idiot was so dumb and overrated. I say thier first album, 1000/smooth out Slappy hours (or somthing) was the best. I hope they steer away from the whole american idiot thing and start making the Dookie like music again.

you're all american idiots......

sleepy jack · 12-10-2005, 04:57 PM

You follow magazines?
Yet your glad they recive achievments *alot of which are from magazines*
Christ thats a tad hypocritical.
Billy Joe has a horrible voice and instrumentally they're as good as the ramones.
Cept johnny ramone was way more passionate and joey has an amazing voice.
I'd hardly consider them a decent band.
They're not talented.
Im not to big on bands that dont have talent.

can i just say i don't class awards or anything to do with magazines as acheivements
when i say that i mean how many records they've sold and the fan base they have
i don't even know why i'm sticking up for them so much as i am not that bothered about them i just don't think they suck as much as you lot make out
i think i might take adidasss advice
i was just putting my view forward - oh well "sighs"
