Green Day

[Aava]

Yes, honey, I can read.

Anyone else?

[Ignatius]

Yeah...Green Day. I've seen them 4 times. First time in 91 with a crowd of 400.

"80" and "words I might have ate" are also great songs. I'm not too keen with welcome To Paradise ( never been)

However, I'm more into 1,039...slappy hours. I once was a fustrated teenager so I defintely relate. Going to Pasalacua(sp?), Only of You and "What do you want him" are amongst my favs.

[Oddy]

ok excuse me for my ignorance, but i thought greenday was a band made up of 3 people.

i just saw them on lettermen, and there was a second guitarist, who also did the solo for american idiot.

whats going on?........or am i just an idiot who never noticed that there were 4 people in the band.

Ha, I thought that wa pretty funny.  I saw them live recently, and Billy Joe goes "We're the Green Day trio" and there's this second guitarist standing about 2 feet away from him...

I have never heard anything of green days before dookie but I am a fan. I am thinking of checking out the early shit now on account of how highly it is spoken of in this thread.

[jimmythegent]

Just picked up the new Green Day album "American Idiot'. Have listened to twice now and so far I think it sounds killer - huge production and some of the catchiest stuff I've heard from them since 'Dookie'. I reckon Billie Joe Armstrong is an under-rated singer/songwriter

[GnFnR87]

it is a masterpiece. There is NO filler at all and the message and story conveyed through the rock opera is great.

[Wheres Izzy]

I have been meaning to pick it up. I heard boulevard of broken dreams, american idiot, and jesus of suburbia on the radio and loved all of them. JOS sounds like classic who. I am glad to hear the rest of the album may be as good.

[Timothy]

I love this album , have stooped listen to to it since I bought it definitely one of the year's five best maybe even the best.

[Mattman]

I'm listening to this album for the first time now...I'm up to Boulevard of Broken Dreams and I LOVE it so far!  These guys just keep getting better and better.  Finally, a "Tommy" for my generation.

[Dave_Rose]

Yeah I picked the album today and I haven't put it down lol I really like Boulevard of broken Dreams and Wake Me Up When September Ends and Whatsername I really like this its the best I have picked up this year.

[axls_locomotive]

ive only heard a few tracks off the album but so far im impressed...the video for american idiot is superb...thats the passion ive been looking for in a band...truly one of the great videos...i cant believe i like green day..anythings possible !

[MadmanDan]

i cant believe i like green day

That's what I thought when I first heard the song American Idiot! I really dislike everything they've done so far,but theis rules!!!!

[Jaded]

GREEN DAY RULE! me and my 2 best friends have just found out now that we are going to see them early next year... the album rocks! i love 'east 12th street' (second part to 'Homecoming) the best!!! oooh and 'rock n roll girlfriend' rules!! who'd have thought a drummer could sing... then again there is dave grohl... anyways... i'll not get off topic
blvd of broken dreams comes out on 22nd november so expect a video shortly....

that's all from me!!! BYEEEEEE


EDIT: Jeez... reading that makes me realise how childish i sound when i use too many exclamation marks and words like 'rule'

[darkdays_01]

Just picked this up today.  This one really surprised me, a very good cd, and some really good songwritting.

I said the same thing in another Green Day thread.  I'm glad somebody finally picked up on the pun. 

[Wheres Izzy]

this is a great fucking album. I picked it up today and it is the best thing to come along in a while. I have always liked green day, never been a die hard, but anyone who hears this has to be impressed by what they have done with this record.

[Ignatius]

I'm defintely impressed?

I own all the Green Day albums & been a fan since 1990. While the last three albums didn't do it for me ( a couple of good sons here and there), this one has caught me off guard. I thought the first single was promising, but I wasn't expecting this. " Jesus of Suberbia" is pretentious, amazing. The album has an " Abbey Road" sort of vibe throughout.

It's definitely one of the best albums of the year.

I highly recommend this album. whether you are a fan or not, you should own this.

[Thorned Rose]

Cool! I watched their AOL Session thing a few times, and Boulevard of Broken dreams should crack the top 40. I swear the music quaility on this album sounded high. I've only heard 4 songs so far and those were live.

I hated Green Day so much before this. They had a couple decent songs I liked but this album just sounds different. I don't know what it is... but I'm getting this album.

Go Green Day!
