HAHA i HAVE to agree with whoever said that the guitar riffs in every green day song sounds 'zactly the same... but its too harsh to compare them to good charlotte :freak:

Ooh, now I'm curious to know if/how fast the Philly show sold out. When I was buying, I didn't even realize there were seats, too, so I just went for GA, and I managed to get them. $\m/$

If it's the same acts for the whole tour... New Found Glory and Sugarcult. :uhh:

Not really looking forward to that. Beats seeing Godsmack with Metallica the week before, though. :lol:

I'm so tired of crappy opening acts, darn it. :mad:

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.

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.

Ok, so you don't like greenday's new stuff. That's fine, but just say that rather than making riduculous claims that they are to blame for subpar music put out by other bands.

actually, there are two differnt green day shows, for toronto anyway. there are only 4 cities where they are playing really small venues and they are only playing the new album. but then after that, they are doing a regular tour in bigger venues. the show i was asking about was the small venue show.

Hope · Post by **Hope** » 9/19/2004, 5:47 pm

they are playing in FoxFest in Vancouver. with the 2 other bands

Here's an idea.

When shitty bands say Green Day is an influence, they played a role in making a shitty band, no?

Ahhhh, ok. I kinda wanted to go to the small one in NYC... but Monkey barely had the money to pay for our tix to the regular Philly show as it is. And I bet getting tickets for that was impossible, anyway... like you said, 4 mins for the Toronto show. I bet the tickets went mostly to scalpers and ticket agencies, too. Heh. God I hate those guys. :mad:

but then you can say that about any band really. the ramones influenced a lot of today's pop punk bands. would you call the ramones a shitty band?

*ponders*

you can't blame green day for the good charlottes and yellowcards out there. it's like blaming nirvana for puddle of mudd... if a newer band comes up with bad music, its not the influencial band's fault

Didn't we already go through this conversation once in this (very short) thread? :lol:
