Amanda Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 so.......its just fucking stupid and rediculuos as hell... thats all..and that the band is now incredibly pathetic. THEY ACT LIKE PUSSIES NOW. Go listen to Slipknot, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's_Rebel Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I think Warner Bros are fucking arseholes anyway - weren't they the ones who cancelled Buffy or Angel? *shakes fist with rage* damn you Warners! Anyway - i think people should just accept now that they're not just a punk band - there's not really any such thing, cause punk has evolved so much into something more commercial. People also have to accpet that Green Day aren't just a bunch of kids messing about - they're a professional rock band who have a job to do. But yeah - i do agree that all the bad publicity is partly down to Warners. The bastards. They're starting to pull the strings - one example being the Dean Grey album, which Warner being complete arseholes launched a complaint about, despite the fact that Billie Joe thought it was pretty cool. I'd like to see Green Day drop Warners like a stone - that would be damn funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presidentgasman 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. If you hate them so much why are you here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thade Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hey, nobody wants the band to end up like the Foo Fighters who have a fan base of 30 - 40 year olds... Indeed. :laugh: 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 2 shows in Australia?? Lady how would you like it? Best day of my fucking life. They´ve been to Australia befor (they never went to South America) - the tour had really run it course,when they ended there fall leg in the US. The warfield show was a propper end to that and that should have been it. I don´t doubt you had a great time.I would have absolutly loved to be there,but let´s face it,they did not sell out (far from it) and it just added to the feeling,that it all had run it´s course.Those badmouthing reviews weren´t exactlly a good ending. That´s what it looked like,for me,from the outside - this has nothing to do with everybody who went and many said,the band looked happy - that might be all that matters - but it left me with a sinking feeling and that´s why I added it to the "over done" thing. I´m overprotective of them - I should learn to care less,but I like to be cought up in it all. They really have to make another record - so we all can talk about something else and be done with all the bullshitting - BIG NOTE TO MYSELF! I love there music and I love them guys - Happy Holidays!

Jimmy's_Rebel Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 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. I'm with you. Why should we care what other people think - it's tough shit. And if they don't like it they can fuck off. I'm certainly not gunna let it stop me from listening to Green Day, and I think that if you really cared you wouldn't give a flying fuck what other people think about you either.

Jillie Boe. Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 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. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeeMiss Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 What do you guys think about all the bad PR (public relations) the guys have lately? I mean the Ultimate Guitar thing voting them worst band, I just got an email saying that "Music of the World" Magazine from Australia named Green Day "Sellouts of '05". Lots of their older fans saying they've pushed it too far. Do you think they'll be able to put out more stuff without people already being tired of them? I remember earlier this year we all talked about the chance that Warner was going to ride GD's popularity too much and it would backfire on them. I think we can safely say thats happening. I know we've had constant threads debating wether or not they've sold out, but i'm just wondering what do you guys think Green Day should not have done? What do you think they might have overdone? I think that they would do all they done another time if they could turn back time. That's the important. However I think that what they done it's kind of good, nothing wrong for me.

Babs Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's funny, after reading that article it looks like many of you are just reiterating what that guy said. Notice he made his thesis(gd being worst band of 05) and didn't show what was "bad" about what they did. He just spewed out how thier album sold so many copies..as if thats a bad thing? Were there topics like this before? With people criticizing Green Day? Or did they need someone to steel opinions off of? :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennzie Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have been a Green Day fan for 10 years, and I have to say, I will always respect what they do, but I think the American Idiot era needs to fade out now. In my opinion I think they need to stop releasing stuff off the album, take a year off and possiby get back the the drawing boards for a new album.

ArmatageShanks39 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 its just out of control, and theyre enjoying it. i dont see how the fuck they could diss on bands like blink 182 and sum 41 when they do this. even sum 41 only released 3 singles, and didnt sell much merch when all killer no filler sold like 3 million, and green day were dissin on em. It just really pisses me off. in a way their more pathetic than bands like good charlotte, who comepletely "sold out", but were still starting out. cus Green Day HAD fame, and a huge fan base who loved em. But they just want every single preteen in the world to love em now. its dissapointing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMinority Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I guess only the future will be able to tell... I will tell u this..

ArmatageShanks39 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 personally, i dont care if they change back. like my analogy yesterday, if your girlfriend went out fucked 50 people, would you just take em back? no. theyve changed, and abandoned their real fans. this isnt easy for me, so dont give me shit for this. theyve been...dareisayit...a part of my life for a really long time, but there comes a time when you just have to say...hey, this isnt what i thought it was. and theres no use in living a lie.

ArmatageShanks39 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 i didnt really mean "living a lie", thats a bit of a stretch, but just beleiving in something thats obviously not there. and lorelei, you say wearing eyeliner and abandoning your old beleiefs for fame and riches is being an adult? i think not.

Lorelei Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 They dissed Sum 41 and Blink for wanting to be the center of attention? I must have missed that. And you have to remember that they've talked shit about a lot of people in the past. You shouldn’t take it so seriously. I think they may even all be compulsive liars. (Have those "lost" tapes ever turned up.) Also, you can't take a comment that somebody said and throw it in their face years later. I've said and done many things in the past that I no longer believe in. People change and Green Day is no exception. I actually hate the make-up. Eyeliner doesn't effect their music.
