Here Today... Gone To Hell!

here's a thread dedicated to the best fucking punk-rock band of today! :beer:
billie joe, tre and mike have given us a shitload of hits and straight up rockers during the years! i remember getting "dookie" for my birthday in 94, when i was 11 years old, and they have been my favourite band apart from GN'R ever since! great songs are too many to mention, but do you guys have any favourite green day albums? dookie is a classic for sure, and american idiot was a masterpiece, and inbetween they have a whole catalogue of some of the best songs of the 90's in my opinion, as far as poppy punk-rock goes they're the only decent band around! :beer:

i must say i love Bullet in  a Bible helluvalot!

they have a kick ass live show with grrreat song!  : ok:

but as much as i love Green Day i must say i dont really like majority of their songs.. haha...
i either LOVE a green day song or i dont care.



anyway, billie joe is the man!

check this out; billie is TOO drunk and fucked up to play Good Riddance! classic!

haha, that's fucking funny! ;D still a good performance though!
billie joe is one of the best frontmen of today, along with axl, there is no doubt about it. if you have seen him live you know what i'm talking about!
he is a great songwriter, great performer and hella cool guy too! as a kid i always wanted to be like billie, heck i still do! :rofl:
here's to billie joe and classic songs like "good riddance", "macy's day parade" and a shitload of eternal rockers! :beer:

*bump*

green day havent been a punk band since insomniac.

i thought american idiot was a decent album, over rated though.

i hated everything inbetween it and insomniac, insomniac is my favourite album by them, so agressive.

american idiot is as PUNK as mainstream punk music has been in a while :yes:

that album made me respect greenday.. used to hate them

yeah its okay. all the singles got SOOOOOO overplayed tho on radiostations and of course all the music videos all over MTV and VH1. i havent listened to that record in a while cuz i was so sick of most of the singles. the other songs are solid tho.

Jesus of Suburbia was the song that made me buy the album i couldnt get it out of my head and i still cant somedays 

yeah i dont listen to radio unless i'm in the car and i dont watch MTV so i only hear it when i decide to put the album on ?;)

but yeah hourly rotations of songs pisses me off too :rant:

i kinda like that one that came out like last year or year before that (i dont remember) America Idiot :yes: its pretty good, Green Day is the only band that is reconised today that i like.



PS. FUCK MTV :rant:


 :peace:

For some reason, I was never a "huge" Green Day fan.? However, I went to see them on their 'Bullet In A Bible' tour when they stopped by Los Angeles/Carson last year... and to my surprise, it was one of the greatest concerts I've ever experienced.? Seriously, it was a phenomenal show in every regard. It was just one of those magical nights when everything came together on stage and the show became far greater than the sum of its parts.?

Maybe it was just a fluke, but they played that show as if it were going to be the last performance of their lives.

It was also on that night that Billie Joe Armstrong (in my eyes) took the title of the "best front-man" in rock.

I've seen MANY great shows over the years, but I've never seen anyone give that much of themselves on stage, or so masterfully work a crowd to the degree that he did on that night... not even Axl... and that's saying a lot.
 
Don't get me wrong, I still feel that Axl is the greatest front-man of all time, but at the moment, I would have to say that Billie Joe Armstrong is wearing the crown... both literally and figuratively speaking.? :peace:

Cheers,

did any one see that interview on mtv when jonny rotten was saying how BJ is soooooo not punk....i think their the only decent punk band around!!!!? however i do think their becoming to much like U2... i mean...i think its great their trying to stop war and stuff and i still like them...but i just dont want them to become one of these political bands!!! u no what i mean?

Theyre not punk anymore, they are a rock band.

yeah but you no what i mean... : ok:

that's a fucking insult, u2 is the most boring band ever.

yeah, maybe that was a bit harsh.... :-\,but thats the direction they seem to be going....though i hope they dont cos their a bloody awsome band!!!! : ok:

Dookie is great, brings me back some memories when I started to listen to the music. But I really don't like their other releases.. American Idiot was a nice record for a while but I really don't feel like listenin' to it anymore. It doesn't have much to give. I like those punk-tunes they used to have but they don't have any more.

they sucks so badly they sould be impaled..
they are a shame to punk
