Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown

i think people are way to obsessed with "21 Guns" it's not even all that good

storymilo · 12-15-2009, 06:03 PM

^Agreed. Hardly the best song on the album.

It is alright, really overrated though.

I don't see how Green Day is still getting called punk, even pop-punk. There isn't anything punk about 21 Guns and half the other songs of the album.

Or more like Neil Young 'Heart Of Gold'
(not just the chorus, more so the Verses)

Well it seems you're saying that they used to be punk, or at least pop-punk, which would mean that they could still be called a punk band. That'd be like saying the Beatles aren't pop because Tomorrow Never Knows is experimental; it doesn't change that they used to be pop.

But if you're saying that they were never punk, then that's just your opinion.

This probably isn't the best example...

Just because a band is experimental doesn't mean they're not a pop band. It has nothing to do with what they "used to be."

Well it was a bad example, I was just blanking on a good one. Just imagine any band that changed styles really.

Rickenbacker · 12-19-2009, 04:01 PM

Bad Brains.

Yeah Bad Brains is a great example, changeing styles isn't a bad thing but the one that green day is changing to sucks.
