Green Day......Why ?

Easy answer, they've got a new album out plus alot of people like 'em!! Odd tracks are ok off the last couple of albums, but I really don't like the earlier stuff, although as Nick says, there are far worse bands around.

 

Yeah I think they're okay too. Nothing I'd buy, but I kinda like their better songs. I can certainly see why people like 'em, and I'd sure as hell take them over stuff like Nickleback that gets over-hyped.

Green Day has one good song ("Boulevard of Broken Dreams"), a few radio singles that are tolerable, and miles of crappy tunes. :puke:

 

Tim, did you just infer that Green Day is better than Nickelback? :shocked: Brother, you have no idea how far you just plummeted in my eyes. Luckily, since you are a fellow modern thrash-metal fan, I shall try to move past this. :tumbsup:

Yeah, seriously Tim, we disagree on some stuff but dude, that's just fucked up. As I say when it happens, I hate defending Nickleback because despite liking them, any band with vocals like that is always open to critisism, but seriously dude, I would rather listen to Nickleback after being diagnosed with AIDS over listening to Green Day in my new house on a Tahitian beachfront.

Now I like a few tracks of theirs especially the excellent "Wake Me Up When September Ends",

 

Any thoughts ?.........

 

you like that song? It makes me want to kill myself for some reason.

 

I used to own the Dookie disc and I don't know why. In fact I think it was I sold amongst a bunch of others I don't know why I owned :anon: Made my boyfriend at the time love me a little less when he saw that lot ha ha

 

Did go to a wedding years ago where someone sung "Time of My Life" which was kind of nice and I liked that song for about 3 minutes.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
