Paulie Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Okay, so i understand where the dude from the killer stands. I mean, you could take the TITLE of american idot and the CHORUS literaly, and argue feel offended by idiot (americans), especially if u are a band that desperatly needs some media bust! However, if he looked the real meanign of the song he would realize that being an american idiot is the leat important, if of any importance, theme covered in this song!! And they played in England because it is the freakin country of music!!! he should really think better b4 he opened his mouth, or maybe jsut find real arguments!!!

Trotsky Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 American Idiot meens just as much to us brits if not more, we got dragged into this war by cousin George, were more pissed off than anybody.Yeah seriously. All of us in America knew Bush was an asshole, but we figured Blaire would have enough sense to stay out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearlybeloved666* Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 who are they to critisize AI? they probably haven't even listened to the whole damn album and judged it before they actually knew what it was aboutand like a few of you said already, That guy has to stop trashing other bands because in the long run, when all those other bands start critisizing a killers album he'll be the one feeling sorry. but he probably is just jealous since GD has still been getting awards from the Album that they made almost three years ago.....Yeah, I know eh? Because all noobs are completely stupid... no offense taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwalkalonelyroad Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I agree with novocaine_kid, Flowers is just jealous cos Green Day pulled off such a huge gig, could they do the same??So what if it was in England? It just shows Green Day care about ALL their fans, and that they have that many fans worldwide. It's a shame, cos I like the Killers, but you now what? Fuck 'em.

BlindedByTheSilence Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 brandon flowers can say whatever he wants, cause if you read some posts from this thread he's obviously just making an ass of himself. so what if he doesnt like AI. i did. brandon's stupid.... he thinks the album is about anti-americanism but its not. its about everything that's gone wrong in america like the war and politics and the media. who cares if green day plays in england? they have fans in other parts of the world too, so why not play there when they can?

Michelle7107 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Mr. Flowers is a fag. He's just mad that his crappy band didn't win against them at the VMA's that one time. I used to think that he was okay but now I just hate him. Even more than Fall Out Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocopot Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'd shake Brandon's hand right now if I could, he's got all your knickers in a twist, this is hilarious.I don't think we 'have our knickers in a twist', we're just saying that critisizing Green Day, Bilie Joe, and American Idiot, 2 years after its release, is a pretty dumbass thing to do when you're releasing an album yourself. Besides, everyone realises how petty Brandon can be....he has a jelousy problem with those who are increasingly better than him.....i.e. Billie Joe. Or just Green Day in general. And he knows it. He just has too much pride to face up to it and admit it to himself.If The Killers were given the chance to play Milton Keynes, i doubt you'd see that they turned down the offer. Who would? Though, it goes without saying, that that weekend with Green Day at Milton Keynes (which was the best fucking Sunday night of my life ever) was the biggest concert to be played on UK soil, and in punk rock history itself. It just so happens, that England was very fortunate to have Green day here to do exactly that, and we are all very thankful.I doubt The Killers could pull that off. Or many other bands for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Do You Want Acceptance? Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I liek The Killers and I think they're music is really good, but I'm not gonna stop listeing to them jsut because Brandon Flowers doens't like Green Day. That would be stupid and pointless if I did. I mean, I'm sure Fall Out Boy doesn't really like Green Day (I'm just guessing) but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop listening to F.O.B just because they dislike Green Day. Completely stupid.

marchelo Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi, I'm new here, not in the page, and I'm from Barcelona. So don't be cruel If my english is not as accurate as it might be, please Well I love Green Day, obviously, and I like so much The Killers too, so I felt really ashamed when I wrote the article about Brandon... (who the f*** is brandon flowers?). I respect what he says, but I can't forget that he is critisizing Bullet In A Bible 11 months after it's appearence and that their new CD, Sam's Town (worse than the first, I think) has been released a little time before, so, that's strange, isn't it? He could say what he said a year before but he does now... I think it's obvious what it happens, and I think is a pathetic way to promote their new CD, don't U think? :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Brandon Flowers and the Killers are pansies. They don't know what true rock 'n roll means. The film being shot it England has nothing to do with the message of the song-it has to do with that venue being the biggest rock show that Green Day had ever played. I believe they filmed BIAB to capture their career at it's peak-playing the Milton Keynes Bowl in England. I also believe Flowers is jelous, because he knows that his band will never reach the success that Green Day has in their lifespan. The Killers are mediokre (sp?), and will never go beyond that. Also, all Brandon seems to do is pick bitch fights with other bands. First it was The Bravery, and now it's Green Day. All he's doing is setting himself up for failure.Hi, I'm new here, not in the page, and I'm from Barcelona.

sullenriot16 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I understand why he sees it that way. He's just ignorant; if you don't know shit about the band it could appear offensive. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
