Wow. Look what they're pinning on GDA these days. This type of stimulating debate makes me wish I came on here on a regular basis.

sigh...does it REALLY matter what the hell he thinks?? :dry:

i mean if we all really cared SO much about all the people that hate /are jealous of Green Day, then wed probably end up shooting ourselves! shouldnt we be used to this by now? yes, i agree Flowers is being a jackass but really, what else is new?

its not like this stops them from being the best band EVER! :wub:

"And he [billie Joe Armstrong] knew it."

Yeah, Billie probably did fucking "knew it," but seriously, do you really think he gives a fucking shit?

Didn't Fucking Think So.

Anyway's, i know i shouldn't be taking the piss out of someone's name, but "Flowers!" seriously?!? don't u think you would change it?!?

he has the girlyest last name ever, id like to see someone poke fun at him for that :)

That's why he's so angry all the time. :)

It's quite ironic that this came out a couple of days after Green Day won that American Spirit award.

And man was it amusing to read through this thread when I should be asleep. Pssh. Sleep is for weaklings.

He probably over analysed everything. Didn't they film BIAB in England because it was the biggest amount of people they had played to? Oh well. It's his own fault that he has now lost the respect of a lot of his fans.

interesting point of view in a way he is right but i think they did it for crowd size and it was a grandioso thing . . .

Jesus Christ, whoever said these people weren't gettin their knickers in a twist, need to like...re-read this whole thread because you're all goin fuckin bananas over a comment. "I don't care what he said he can go fuck himself" and then post a whole rant about it, I do care about what he said but in a different way coz i agree with him, but none of you have fucked me over like u have him, it must be different when a celebrity does it coz they're not allowed opinions or anything like that, ahh of course that's why...bloody hell, are all Green Day fans as immature as the majority of this thread is? Muppets, absolute fuckin muppets.

Brandon fucking flowers is a complete arsehead, how dare he say that. I mean, if Green Day were English and singing "dont wanna be an american idiot", i would undertand, but as Billie, Tre and mike are American thereselves, they have a right to say what they think about there own country. If he doesnt like that he can go do himself. Hes just jealous that his band havent made it so big. Also, the thing about "going to england and playing it", well, does he expect green day to kick the whole english tour off the list incase we get "the wrong idea" Of course Green day are going to fucking come to england, is he a dickhead or something? Billie even says on the dvd "England is now the official home of Green day", this meaning he loves England, should he just not come because some little whiney kid started saying hes getting mad because of Billies thoughts of his own country where he grew up? He needs to just fucking grow up.

Guest Phoebe.

I really really wish I could somehow harness the power of the passion in this thread, as I'm sure the amount of pure energy used for hatin' on Brandon could feed the world's hungry and put a stop to global warming problems for years to come.

You guys keep whining while I add the finishing touches to The Great Machine..

I think he's just jelous because Green Day is a billion times better then the killers, and also because they can actually stand up and say what they think about America at this moment, even in England, or anywhere, it's not like only in england that Green Day fans would scream : "don't wanna be an american idiot!!" any Green Day fan would!!!

Brandon Flowers is complaining about how GD played in Milton Keynes and they played 'American Idiot' and if he's saying that people in England have no idea what the song is actually about, then maybe Brandon Flowers should start complaining about that little speech that Billie Joe gave during Minority,(which he gives at every concert) where he talks about electing people into office and being the leaders. Of course Billie knows the UK is a Monarchy, he's just saying it because thats what he does... I mean.. he's Billie Joe Fucking Armstrong.

I, personally, like I've said before, like The Killers, but maybe before they bitch about musicians that are much more expierenced than them, they should actually have an idea of what the people of the band are like. Sure, their music defines their personality. But when you listen to some of Green Day's old stuff like on Nimrod, ( Platypus (I Hate You) and Take Back) you woiudl think they are some assholes, but really they're nice guys. Before you judge anyone one their music, you should actually learn more about them before youe go shitting on them. Just my opinion.. I don't know.

Saying 'American Idiot' can't be played in England because it talks about America, is like saying, The Sex Pistols, 'Anarchy in he U.K' can't be played in America bescause it talks about the UK. And Brandon Flowers is from Vegas, what does he know about UK? Nothing.

Like Mike Dirnt said: 'When an English band makes it in America, they feel like they've really made it, and when an American band makes it in Enlgand, they feel like they really fucking made it.'
