Green Day's bad PR

that billie joe is essentially going to be a billboard for his new clothing line? yeah, i'll take that one.

So what?? theres no fucking problem with that - he is going to advertise the clothing line that he co-created, big deal, it's not like he's gunna be in a fucking Nike advert. He helps design the clothes, so why shouldn't he be the face of the clothing line.

what's the difference between being a nike ad and ad adeline ad? whatever way you cut it, you're still an ad.

Ok guys you can open fire on my all you want but heres my 2 cents:

I really really don't think tht American Idiot Movie is a good idea

I really really think they need to stop and wait a little while, and make a cd

The cd should be Dookie-Nimrod/Insomniac-American Idiot.

But only a little american idiot.

i'm saying for those people who claim to lose respect for the band because of their marketing, all that should matter is their music. For me personally, i love all the marketing.

i love him too.

Have you all gone mad? Or am I missing the sarcasm here?

i think this whole thing has been taken too far. especially with the whole movie thing. there are very few good quality movies out nowadays and i think the whole idea for the AI movie is just too generic. its nothing special and i doubt it will do well. im sure a lot of people will be too sick of AI anyway to go see it.

it will be nice to not be constantly hearing about green day this and green day that. im really glad the whole AI era is ending...or at least i hope it is. you can never be too sure anymore. i just want them to go back home and stay out of the spotlight so they can take some time off and make an album that blows us away.

i think they've made it clear that they don't want to do something they've already done. Why would you want another CD like Dookie if you have Dookie? Yeah that music is good, but i think Green Day will change it up a little, and I dont think they should look at their new stuff as a mixture of past albums.

No. I'm not saying I agree with what he argues, I just like how he does it.

Did you not just read my post? Billie helped create adeline, if he helped advertise Nike that would be advertising something he has nothing to do with and would be purely for money. Adeline is one of his projects I see no problem with him advertising it.

Are there Claires Accessories in America? or am I thinking of a different shop? I brought my dog a t-shirt that says "Merry Christmas" from Claires the other day :D I don't think the Claires in England would sell Green Day stuff, but I did buy a Green Day folder from Virgin today, thats pretty cool.

How pointless was that post! - sorry

it would be one thing if billie just wore his shirts when and if he wanted, but it's in the adeline press release that billie would be wearing the clothes, so he now has an obligation to do it, whether he wants to or not. in that matter, there's really no difference between it being his brand or a third party brand.

HAHA....i just realized something. does anyone eles see dejavu of nirvana? not long and well see a dead billie joe with 200 pain killers in his stomach on the news. i mean seriously, other then the fact that theyve had a huge past, this is the exact same as nirvana.

Yeah ai is stretched out a bit but i dont mind cause i love the music but

I dont think they've taken it too far with the merch cause i havent even seen any merch by them. There's like no Green Day stuff in NZ ( or maybe i dont look hard enough).

Same. There's like hardly any merch around my area. The only green day merch i have is a t-shirt, and that's only coz i got it at their concert i went to a week ago...

Let's hope green day doesn't end up like nirvana

In what way?

I see no similarities at all.

Does that mean Tre Cool is going to make his own rock band and become huge?

And adrienne will become a drug addict with her own band?
