Bastard of 1969 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 10 Songs That Remind Us Of Growing Up In The 90s “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” by Green Day Released in 1997, Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” has since become the go-to song for countless graduation ceremonies and proms. As you put your arms around your friends and loved ones, this is when you reminisce about the good times. This is also the song that probably made you want to learn how to play the guitar. In my case, “Time of Your Life” was the first track I REALLY took the time to perfect. Having practiced the melody, chords and strumming patterns non-stop until my fingers start hurt, Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” will always hold a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my embarrassing days of trying to be “punk rock.” In fact, I thought I was such a rockstar that this was also the song I performed at a talent show with my elementary school. Yeah, I was pretty badass. http://www.andpop.com/2014/10/03/10-songs-remind-us-growing-90s/ Probably the most relatable thing for any guitarist here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMMIT, YOU C!" I always caught like a wrong string, or it sounded awful because I accidently covered two more strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 What the hell? I might understand the confusion if Green Day had at least covered it but they never have, Billie Joe covered it on his own but Green Day as a band haven't. And wouldn't they have had to ask permission from Pinhead Gunpowder to record it and know it was by them as a result anyway? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrose Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Story Behind the Song: 'I Fought the Law' The song was first cut in 1960 by his band, The Crickets — on the first album they released after the death of their frontman, Buddy Holly. It became a hit for the Bobby Fuller Four several years later, and then an anthem for countless rock rebels, from The Clash to Hank Williams Jr. to Green Day. It's one of those songs that keeps getting used in movies, TV, commercials, all over the place. Does that even surprise you sometimes? It does surprise me, in a good way. On the Super Bowl three or four years ago, a group called Green Day did it with a Pepsi commercial, and that was a real nice surprise. I hear it a lot by different artists, and I'm always glad. http://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/story-behind-the-song/2014/10/05/story-behind-song-fought-law/16767007/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a style difference, too; one just can't call Pinhead Gunpowder Green Day and get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Five Bands That Must Go Into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Green Day. At the turn of the millennium, the idea of Green Day as a viable Hall of Fame nominee, much less a first-ballot selection, would have been laughable. Sure, the band did well on the charts, helped bring punk to the masses, and released a legitimate, jam-packed greatest-hits collection, but so what? Then "American Idiot" happened, and seemingly overnight, the Northern California trio went from being branded a one-trick, three-chord pony to the authors of rock's next chapter. Easily one of the most ambitious records of the modern musical era, it is also among its best. Following a massive stadium tour - a rarity among non-classic rock acts - Green Day took its album to Broadway, and in the decade since has continued breaking new ground, following up with another epic ("21st Century Breakdown"), releasing a full record under an alter ego (Foxboro Hot Tubs), and putting out a three-part album whose promotion was both heightened and stunted by a rehab stay for singer Billie Joe Armstrong. Green Day's transformation from punk kids with an album called "Dookie" to Grammy and Tony Award winning artists has been impressive, as is its seemingly unending supply of undeniably catchy songs, but its influence on 21st century music - both in what other bands sound like, and what they know they can sound like - has been the final piece in earning this group a spot in the Hall. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-carpowich/five-bands-that-must-go-into-the-rock-and-roll_b_5963752.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 How many bands can be inducted in one year? The HOF rules say that they can induct 5 tp 7 per year, in the performer category. The 15 nominees are in the performer category. There are other categories, that is why there are more than 7 in some years. The performers with the most votes get in. I have not been able to find anything that says how many votes they need to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been able to find anything that says how many votes they need to get in. It's a secret ballot, so we'll probably never know. There are more than 600 votes from musicians, producers, journalists, etc. cast, and only one "fan" vote from online voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more than 600 votes from musicians, producers, journalists, etc. cast, and only one "fan" vote from online voting. Understood, but the entire voting population (musicians, fan vote, etc. ), votes and they elect 5 to 7 performers per year. I would imagine it works similar to the baseball hall of fame, where you need to be on 75% of the ballots to be elected. That is why they don't elect the same amount of performers per year. I could not find anything that states what the percentage or number of votes required is. In some years, there are more than 7 people elected, that is because there are differenct categories. One, for example, is musical excellence. GD is nominated in the performer category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
