mclaren Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Green Day is the most real band on the face of this earth and the media is just jealous they cant be like them there are so many things wrong with this sentence that i don't know where to start.

Warning__ Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Well i think you're idiots if you lose respect for the band for anything. No matter what they do, as annoying as it may be, they are awesome musicians and if you can't respect that, you're a worthless fan of their music. Which is what matteers. Well said Andre. I think ... fuck what's happenning, as long as we like their music. And about the movie ... I think it will be cool to make a movie about it ... as long as Green Day aren't in it.

I think it will be cool to make a movie about it ... as long as Green Day aren't in it. Even if Green Day are in the movie, I think it'll be pretty cool. I don't think any fan should question their own loyalty to the bands' even if though Green Day's changed. Their image's changed...their music too...but the music's still awesome isn't it? I must agree though...American Idiot's stretched for quite a while already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warning__ Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Couldn't have said it better. Oh and for the movie thing I meant it would be OK for Green Day to be in it but I'd rather see the movie be about JOS' life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbucksfreak Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 well i think all of the teenies will agree with those dumb ass mgazines cuz well thats the whole reasson why they liked them in the first place probably(from reading teenie mags) but i think the TRUE fans will of course know why they're doing all that...i mean sometimes i think they're sell outs too but then i think about if i were them ...i mean come on now..be real. if u had all that money and you were getting all that attention you'd be the same way probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssnn Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 They could have done without the last two shows in Australia (sorry folks) and the JOS single and vid was unmessesary. Then again,I think the JOS single wasn´t really meant for this time around - more for the furure,so some DJ stumbles over it,10 years from now.They play older singles once in a wihle on Radio,but an album title - NO.The vid was just a waste of money and time (not there´s luckily) As for Warner minning the success of AI - what did you expect them to do? - there are people out there,who invested there hard earned money in the company.They would kick those suits asses really hard,if they didn´t do just that - it not nice nor cosy,it´s bussiness.If you are the one with the biggest hit,you will we the one,that´s going to be over sold. My husband is a manger,working for a big German company and has worked for a US one - there is not much love,understanding or high morales going around.It´s my company or yours - it´s my job or yours! About year ago the major record companies said,that they are not planning on signing more then a handful new German bands,if at all.They lose a lot of money,so they aren´t going to take any risks and just go ahead selling there int. stars.So if you want, new bands to get a chance and a contract,you better hope,those companies make alot of money. The Adeline clothing line has to bring in the money ,to pay the artist signed to the lable - because the album sales wont do that trick.As a hobby,the whole thing would be a tat bit to expensive. The "Ultimate guitare" worst band thing,can´t be a suprise.They are not consitered gituare virtuoses(pl?) and the fact they sold almost 12 mill. records,has to hurt alot of folks,who mind,that "there band" wasn´t nearly as sucessful,while so much "better". With the fans and the sales,come the haters. I still love AI - but I´m more then ready to not hear or hear and see, any of it on Radio or TV - it´s over and time for something new. I just hope they devote there time to the next album and not anything else - NO MOVIE! and hold the touring till you have something new to play,PLEASE!

presidentgasman Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I just got an email saying that "Music of the World" Magazine from Australia named Green Day "Sellouts of '05". I've actually never heard of that magazine and I live in Australia... They could have done without the last two shows in Australia (sorry folks)That actually has nothing to do with Warner or them taking it too far. They said they liked Australia and wanted to come back so they did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relic Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 i think they should lie low for a bit, and when they release their next album, they shouldnt make a scene over it, if you get what i mean.....for example, they shouldnt go all over the top with all the merchandise and that stuff. im not saying they shouldnt promote the album, but they shouldnt go too far.

presidentgasman Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I dont' actually understand why they said they had a tight schedule...the tour is over!! They should've played a few more shows. Like Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland and maybe twos shows each for Sydney and Melbourne... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warning__ Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 lol. yeah, they should have played for the rest of Australia. perth are unlucky bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sick Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Someone was talking about the next album.. I don't like every Green Day album, so if the next one sucks, i'll get over it. I've grown to like Warning and 39 smooth, which are my least favorite Green Day albums. Theres aren't so many bands whose all albums are masterpieces-- And i think it's more like the media who makes some albums 'mastepieces'. Like American Idiot, it's great, but media made it 'bigger'.

enjoiskaterguy Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 You know, I think a lot of people forget that Green Day are in the " Music Business ". Maybe the fans should concentrate more on the "music" part and less on the "business". Especially those that don't understand how it all works. yeah..well, maybe Green Day should focus on the music part too and not the bussiness........thats why people are angry about them..for the most part its not their album but their approach...and not to mention every time they do an interview now they talk out of their asses. oh...and I just recently eard billie say on some tv interview that Give Me Novicane ight be yet ANOTHER SINGLE.....i think its getting past the music and now the band and warner/reprise are killing the band even more.

dumbstruck27 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 What other people say about Green Day doesn't really affect me. I enjoy their music and that's all that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoiskaterguy Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Im glad to see people are coming around to my ideas as well...it took people long enough to see There record companies mistakes as well as the bands mistakes..... please watch some of my videos I have made about the band if you haven't yet. Just click the links at the bottom of my post under the picture (my signature) I will say this and mean it because any human with a brain is capable of doing this. Green Day are able to control how much their record company can advertize their music and publisize it. they can say....ou stop fucking making our band look like fucking STALIN and we rule the world (history lessen: Stalin was the leader of the USSR during and after WWII....EVIl MAN who loved his picture on every wall and every house.) If they were really dedicatd to stop this mainstream, trendy bullshit they have become....they could just say fuck off to Warner/Reprise and go elsewhere with their music. The fact that they don't do this is saddening....of course they know how advertized and mainstream their music and attire has come, and that their main fan base is now 16 year old girls now, in comparason to around 2002 when most were probably 25 - 30 year old people.

Thade Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 So? Ouch. What's wrong with having fans that are 16 year olds? Not everyone was old enough to care when Green Day first made it big. Sorry, but I hate getting shit about not being a "proper" fan, or for ruining Green Day's reputation as a good band just because of my age. And like a few others have said, I listen to Green Day because I like their music. What happens outside of their music is cool and all, but the music is the reason we all exist as fans. If you care about how Green Day is being represented in the media then you care about how liking the band effects your image. Which is ok and all, but still, why care? I don't.

pen0r Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 forgive me if i'm repeating someone else's words... i'm not reading 13 pages. in my opinion green day have completely changed. the reason i first loved the band so much is because their music was about nothing in particular and was fun. now there's too much meaning behind it as well as all this style they've developed... in fashion and music. it makes me sad everytime i see a recent concert or video because they don't look as happy and fun as they did before american idiot.
