American Idiot...

Wow, what in the hell happened to the band who I would listen to everyday, whose flag I would wave with pride, and whose asses I would defend in any debate.... what the hell happened??
There was once a band who didnt give a fuck, they spat out these awesome songs that might not have had the best instrumental talent, but were fun as hell to listen to. They were fast, loud, and told things like they were. Songs like burnout and welcome to paradise just left you with this awesome feeling... this great rush of punk that alot of people had never really felt before. It was awesome. but now.....
I just got American Idiot, and I'm feeling a bit sick in my stomach. This once great band is selling out and losing all of my respect that I ever had for them, nothin but a bunch of mainstream salmon now...

Billie Joe once said that "The world is a shit machine putting out a mass of shit"
If you change "The world" with the new greenday than he wouldve been more correct.

 

What exactly do you mean? explain into detail. And who the fuck is billy joe? explain just how theyre selling out n such.

 

You don't know who Billy Joel is?
You are an idiot freshly picked from the idiot farm.

 

Billie Joe is greendays lead singer/guitarist
If youve never really listened to greenday I guess its kind of hard to explain... just not as original anymore, kind of selling out to all the mainstream punk and emo shit.

 

Yes, Greenday has sold out somewhat. I remember I saw on TV, Billie Joe was talking about to stay alive in music you gotta take risks and this was a risk of their, saying what he was saying I mean. And I'm thinking to myself, "how is this a fucking risk, you're just doing what every other punk band and a good deal of other celeberties are doing, making anti-bush songs hoping it will sell albums" what happend to the fun green day.

 

Green Day gave you that "feeling of punk"?

Hahahahahahahahahahaaha

Ahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

No, hold on, I'm not done holding my sides.

Hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

...

HAahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah. You're stupid.

 

So's your mother.

 

green day always sucked

 

how many threads are you people going to make of green day and their selling out?? you act as if it just happened. like I said before, they sold out with dookie (1994), but I guess some of you were probably in your diapers still. I just like how all of yall say that this record isnt as punk as their previous ones..... hhahaha their previous ones werent punk either.

billie joe also said that there are alot of poseur punk bands out now, well, green day pretty much started the trend. its like the pot calling the kettle black.

 

maybe not punkasfuck but AI is good. No one else likes it???
ps Dookie ruled back in middle school

 

Wow when I heard that I thought "you guys were supposed to be a fun band what the hell happened?! You guys don't talk about politics you just rock!"

 

shit I think Greendays still as good as ever...You say their selling out so obviously your definition of selling out is warped! As long as you stay true to yourself and say what you feel in a record and its deep thats not selling out...as far as them taking a stab at the politics thats the shit...Their musicians they speak their mind through the music If you don't like it don't bitch about it find another band that just rocks out and doesn't give you anything but loads of bullshit!

 

Serious, I'm sick of this music fourm being about people bitching about how they don't like this type of music or how this band sucks or this band sold out. It's all opinion. Do you personally know the band? Do you personally know they are in it just for the money?

Do you know what "maturing" is? I guess not. As people and their lives change, their sound is going to change becuase their sound is their life.

And since when did putting political messages into your songs mean selling out?

 

very well said...

 

i know exactly what you mean, man. i was listening to green day when i was younger than you are, now. those guys were my idols. i fuckin loved green day...

but as soon as "warning" came out, i thought, "what the fuck?" like, they've become everything i always hated in other bands. they're just pathetic, now. after warning came out, i just gave up on green day.

call it quits already, guys.

 

what is wrong with their song american idiot, it rocks, and so does green day. they are not selling out, they are just popular, and for a reason.

Just like you're fucking retarded, always have been, and for a good reason: Your mother smoked crack and took it in the ass while pregnant with you.

 

Maybe some people just like different music than you do.

 

the thing is, it is cliche and hip to be against america (unless you are a country star). theyre not being original or alone in their thoughts. you people are stupid if you think green day is the only band who had some anti-american messages in their music. and, oh they are tough shit.. they made an album that most of rock/punk fans think like they do about the country and the american government. the only band or artist that would have balls to say something about the government would be a country star, and the backlash they would receive from those backwards rednecks.

 

What are talking about??!!! don't be like stupid russians!!!snob!! its not punk music maybe, but for some people IT IS!! not for me, but i like one guy from greenday, ...you say they sucks? oh look how many fans have greendays suckers!!!
