Is Green Day Over?

This argument makes no sense. If the band was over they would not have put out all the material they did recently. They would not have all done another Network album (it's not like it was something that was going to make them a lot of money; most of their fans probably were never even aware of it). Obviously they still want to play together. They have been doing side projects all through their careers. They have been at this for three decades. They have had ups and downs. Things could have been over after Warning flopped. But then they came back and did American Idiot, without which they would never have even reached the level for us to be here arguing about them. Things could have been over after Billie's iHeart meltdown. But they have always found a way to make it work. Like FOAM or not, it was pretty successful. They are not exactly at a popularity low point or else they wouldn't somehow be ending up on every TV show. Everyone is in a weird place right now, even if you are a rich and famous rock star. No one is really OK. Just let the world get back to normal and I think you will see them get back to normal too. 

The Network isn't Green Day. And this isn't a matter of if they like playing together; it's do they like Green Day.

They wanted to stray form their typical Green Day sound (whatever that is) with FOAMF, and they did release another Network album. Seems to me like they're trying to get away from Green Day. Like @pacejunkie punk said, they've achieved just about everything that can with Green Day. Maybe they want to move on and do something else.

But Green Day has gone through many different evolutions already. All of their albums have had different sounds. Think about the progression of things say between Dookie and AI. They are always trying new things. Billie has talked many times about not wanting to write the same things over and over. As others have said, this may well be a new phase for them. But that does not mean they are over. If they wanted to end they would. They wouldn't keep putting out more stuff.

They haven't done an all stadiums tour yet! This was gonna happen last year but a certain virus arrived.

And The Network... It was 2020! It's almost like it was predestined! And what else you're gonna do when your main band is on hold?

I’m sure Billie doesn’t always enjoy being in Green Day. It’s his job. It can be fun and it’s also hard work. Who among us loves our job every day? But that’s a different question from whether it means the band is over.  

The job and a half I had before the pandemic was the highlight of my life. If you love what you do, then you love what you do.

I’m in the process of recording an album right now. It’s the most stressful thing I’ve ever down in my life and frankly, I’ve never been more sick of music in my life (I’m dead serious, I almost threw all my instruments out the window and vowed never to touch one again). But at the same time, I love it. I just love making music and I love hearing my creations come together.

Just because something is hard work doesn’t mean you half ass it. If Billiewas even pretending like he was loving what he’s doing, I couldn’t say shit about it. He just seems like he’s done with Green Day.

Dude just put out thee albums, two of them with Green Day I wouldn’t say he’s halfassing it.

A cover album, FOAMF, and MM2020pt2.

I'm gonna make this clear. The Network is not Green Day. The Network is a completely different subject. We're talking about Green Day.

Yes. The whole point of this thread is to debate whether Green Day is over. 

The Network is not Green Day. Only Green Day is Green Day. 

For the purposes of this thread, the member that make up the band are unimportant. We’re talking about if the California punk band formed in the late eighties is continuing to release music and perform under the name Green Day.

Continuing on my response in the other thread as far as the performance last night, I think you're way off on that. This was not the place to look for the guys being in concert mode. They were basically background music for a montage. And I agree with @pacejunkie punkin that considering the circumstances of 2020, Billie has been amazingly productive. Also, they all seemed to have a blast with The Network. I'm not worried about Green Day breaking up. I am worried about Billie giving up on social media. If he loses his connection with fans, that's going to be a huge loss for the Green Day community. But I don't think that has anything to do with Green Day. I think there are a lot of other reasons that he's being extremely private, and I think he's doing what he thinks he needs to do for his own mental health. I just hope he comes back. But no, I see no signs of the band breaking up.

If you were anyone else, I’d think you’re kidding, but I’m afraid that your serious.

Also, I could’ve told you to keep your mouth shut. What did you think was gonna happen honestly? 

Take a deep breath and keep going. I wanna see how this plays out.

Oh, I'm serious. 

I would keep going but to what avail? It's a big fucking loop. Nobody wants to have a debate.

How is this dramatic?

She’s 14, I shouldn’t have to wonder if she drinking or smoking. I think it’s perfectly rational to be concerned.

And put yourself in her shoes. If you were trying to have a civil debate like a normal person, but people only want to point out that it’s stupid, completely ignore what you’re saying, and make passive aggressive remarks I think you’d be fed up too.

It's an overreaction to people not agreeing with them

It is rational to be concerned, never said it wasn't. It's just such an overreaction

Bullshit. There are very few people here who have actually attempted to understand what my stance is and engage in civil conversation. 

Then there's people like you who resort to calling me a drama queen simply because I'm done with you.

 

Anyways, I'm done here. I thought maybe we could discuss this calmly and civilly, but I was wrong.
