Good way to look at it, I like that..

Anway, I dont hate Green Day, but I dont like them either. There are aspects of some of their older stuff that I dont mind, but.. I wouldnt choose to listen to them. I think saying how they were the most influential bands of the last however many years is going too far (as someone said earlier in here) I dont see how theyve influenced the music scene that much at all.. But thats just how I see it. Ok, Im done with this thread now, thanks for listening to all that..

Then we'll sell it for no reason, so people can listen to it for no reason."

Furthermore, you say i might think that calling you "son" gives me an air of, what you so eloquantly described as, joviality and/or superiority. Well yes i might think that, but i don't.

I look forward with utmost eagerness to your next installation, son.

ouch

you "smote" him there? you asked him to elaborate. nothing more.
how about this. count the number of chords in american idiot-any song or album would do, but people for some reason are quite persistant that this album isnt a waste of time-and then compare it to basically any other band, but for arguments sake shall we say, godspeed you black emperor, or refused, or any opther band with more than three chords?
greenday have limited musical mtalent. of course they have a minor amount, they can play an a,c and g and occasionally an f on guitars!
greenday are pioneers in nothing. they are inspirational to no decent bands i have ever seen or heard about.
in my opinion american idiot was made because the record companies went "your album sold well. make us another!"
"yes sir mr gives me money. anything you money money."
three days later, american idiot was written.

Greenday are one of the best punk bands in existence, I hate these people who slag off greenday, saying they'e pop music like mcfly and busted who thankfully don't exist anymore, as charlie joined a real band, fightstar.
Greenday's best album is probably dookie. american idiot was a bit of a disappointment, but it had a few good songs on it, like boulevard of broken dreams, and st jimmy. :band:
