Has anybody noticed that this is a group of 40-year-olds acting like kids? Or the fact that the songwriting is terrible? Or the fact that every guitar riff on every song sounds exactly the same?

No thanks, I'll pass.

As opposed to the 2 million pop/punk bands out that want to sound like Green Day.

I thought I was listening to Good Charlotte when I first heard American Idiot. It's just that bad.

I thought the exact same thing.

that's because greenday defined and originated the pop-punk genre, and now every crap band like good charlotte tries to sound like them and ends up bastardizing the original concept.

MAN it is so sad that people can't appreciate some good ole Green Day these days. siiigh.

oh, I can certainly appreciate some "good ole green day", but the new stuff just isn't really doing it for me. Oh well. It happens.

I've heard two of the songs... I'm waiting to hear the rest when I get the album... but... it sounds like good old Green Day to me. Can't wait.

I also ordered tickets to the Philly show a few days ago. :mrgreen:

Can't wait to see them again. :dance:

green day rock ..

billie is amazing .. they were on the cover of alternative press this month and there was a huge article about them .. billie was talking about his 2 sons and how he's scared to let them watch tv because of all the horrible news etc .. sounds like such a sweet daddy .. also talking about how he's been with the same girl (his wife) since like highschool hehe .. they talk about this album too .. i haven't heard anything off of it but i'll more then likely pick it up because i have all their other stuff

The story about him and his wife getting together is so cute. I don't remember where I heard it, though. :freak:

Did they have a Behind The Music, maybe?

There is no point in defending Green Day. They might be getting ripped off by crap bands, but they still pretty much are the reason for the crap bands. Therefore, they are just as responsible for the Good Charlotte's and Yellowcards' out there as the members in the bands.

You might as well try to fault pearl jam for crap bands like creed and nickelback for coming into existence. If someone comes out with a piece of art you can't blame that person when someone makes a bad copy. You blame the person who made the bad copy. Though there would be no Good Charlotte and no Yellowcard without there having been Greenday, it is not Greenday's fault that these bands suck. Therefore, there is a very definite point in defending Greenday.

haha, yeah, that is true.

anyway

from what i've heard so far of 'american idiot' it's going to be an amazing album and is returning to the dookie/nimrod era of green day which is what i've been waiting for.

Penguin Josh · Post by **Penguin Josh** » 9/16/2004, 7:32 pm

i thought american idiot was a big let down

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » 9/16/2004, 7:55 pm

I like Greenday....and Nickelback *hides* But anyway I think I will pick up the new album I heard some of their songs and they sound good to me.

But I sure as hell can blame the band for making a sub-par album with an unlistenable single. Wow, that just sounded like Good Charlotte and Yellowcard.

There's no difference between the three bands. They're just jokes of bands. Green Day used to write good stuff, and at worst, they were at least listenable. Then they thought it would be cool to release the shittiest politically driven song, and just sound like assholes to the general public. Then the rest of the stuff (from what I heard) off this album sounds like filler. Filler to a God-awful song.

Yeah, Green Day is just as bad as Good Charlotte and the rest of that pop-punk shit out there.

I remember when I was wondering why in the hell Warner Bros. would drop Green Day, a big band, right before their album was about to drop. Now I know why.
