Now The official Green Day Thread. ***Now with tour dates***

[Silver R/T]

No need to hate on someone if he likes something different than what you like.
I like many different bands/artists so what. Btw I do appreciate classics ie Paul Mauriat, Ennio Morricone, Adriano Celentano, and I don't care if someone doesn't like them. Whatever floats your boat.

Nikki Sixx IS an a-hole. No doubt. I saw Motley Crue on Thanksgiving Break in California when I was 16 (Perkins Palace? In Pasadena), the Shout at the Devil tour in Cleveland (opened for Ozzy), and the Theater of Pain tour (talk about makeup!)...I was 3rd row for SATD and front row for TOP (thank you, WMMS!).

I saw Green Day in 1995. I liked the show. A lot. I thought they were good. But, I just would rather be around Metalheads, I guess. I got dragged to an R.E.M. show at the Rosemont Horizon (outside Chicago) in 1995 ('96?) and it was AWFUL. It was a free ticket from a friend, but if THEY woulda asked if I wanted to hang with them, I'd've told them to f@#k off.

Green Day guys, don't get all bent. They're okay...they're just not as awesome as you all are making them out to be. Who can really say who's great and who's not? Right? Like I said before, I have Dookie and Insomniac on my iPod, so I can't hate them that much. They just wouldn't be one of my Desert Island Discographies.

All i did was say that they were going on tour and that they were my fave band. I posted my story and people stared bashing. So then I stood up for the group that I love, I never tried to force them on anyone. I think they are cool. As far as what you said. They are also not as bad as you guys are making them out to be!  So now, lets all sit down and listen to what we each like and let the bashing rest.

To all you haters, 

[RECHRGD]

I thought this thread was about global warming.  I've never heard of most of these bands your talking about.  People tend to get hung up on who's popular when they are kids.  Elvis rules!!  Oh and those new guys (The Beatles and Rolling Stones) are cool too.    Bob

...nowwwww, which Elvis are we talking about? The pre-Army, still-young, thin, and decent-looking Elvis, or the fat, bloated, fried-banana-sandwich-with-peanut-butter-eating, jar-of-downers-popping, pain-med-injecting, booze-swilling, Las Vegas, "My Way" Elvis?

I have read, and apparently backed up in the link below, that his big, fat heart gave out as he strained to put a couple through the hoop, or as my friend likes to say, "drop a couple friends off at the pool"...I'd like to see Green Day, or any of these newer bands, for that matter, try to live HALF the life Elvis or Keith Richards have led...you used to have to be tough to be a rock star...Meth and Ecstasy don't really count.

Just Say NO!!!

[Hemidog]

Can you say Rage Against The Machine? 

[moparstuart]

rage is way better

[Hemidog]

rage is way better

I hear that, I was thinking about the title.

[C_stripes]

Thanks for the update,  I have heard it a few times and let me say. It is a well put together song. But it's not the Green Day I knew. 

Rage is also a cool band. I like them allot too.

You guys should look up and listen to Tripping Daisy, Blown Away and I got a Girl. Awesome stuff there.

I have an American Idiot t-shirt in my closest...have yet to wear it. They just don't interest me like they used to. Still like their music though. What dates do you plan on attending? My aunt got me a floor ticket for AC/DC in August in Vancouver

[C_stripes]

I am wearing my American Idiot shirt right now.

I plan on attending Aug 15 and 16. 16th for sure. Denver will all depend on where the venue is in Salt Lake. At one venue, I get VIP tickets. So if they come to that venue. I have a chance to meet the band. Therefor, I would just stay here in Utah so that I can be there before gates even open to the public.

Sometimes I love working for Toyota. It has many perks.
