facE Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 why cant people try to prove you wrong? yes, you have the right to believe what you do, but if you have that right, others have the right to disagree and attempt to prove you wrong. by reading opinions that are opposite to your own gives you the chance to grow. you dont have to agree with what is said. but listening/reading might just give you new information and that can never be a bad thing. Yes but they dont have to be an ass about it. When people become assy about it, i get bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stablesoulsgonebad Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Last thing they did to make me proud: Try to educatate people about our dependence on oil and how we need to stop this dependence. Good job Green Day.Last thing they did to piss me off: (From the letter from Billie Joe regarding NRDC)It’s okay and very rebellious to speak up and take responsibility for our environment, to take care of the air that we breathe and the water that we drink. Maybe I am misinterpreting this(if so, I aplologize, and can someone please correct me.) but this is what I think:"And very rebellious" seems like they are referring to it as some sort of fashion statement! I didn't think Green Day were concerned with fitting in. Perhaps this reassurance is aimed toward the so-called fans that can't form thoughts and opinions without seeing what Green Day think first. If it is, should they really be nurturing that kind of behavior in their fans? I am not so much mad at them as I am at the companies that control their merch and shit. It seems to me that Green Day are moving closer and closer to the commercial side of the spectrum, which is fine. I mean, they are Green Day, and hey! they can do whatever the hell they want. But it seems now that music companies are making it a fad to march to the beat of your own drum. It just makes me sad that everything under the sun is being slapped onto a lunchbox and sold in bulk at Hot Topic and Walmart.I usually don't get mad about Green Day though. I s'pose I am more upset with all of the teenies at my school who are trying to be punk. 1/2 of my grade are now in love with the song Welcome to the Black Parade. And I go to the (about) 2nd preppiest school in the greater Valley area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjimmysgirl221 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 impressed: with then try to educate the US on oil and the environment and fund raising with U2... i dont see how that could be a bad thing... i mean they are getting older so of course they care more about things like that than when they were 20 something. i think they are using their fame to good use.pissed off: more like the music companies how they over market all band so a bunch of preppy tennies can think they are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...Whatsername... Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Forgot the Idiot Club. The fact that some people have more privilages of knowing what's going on with their favorite band than others just because they paid $20 dollars is just... blegh. And I don't feel like joining either because I don't think it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I go to the (about) 2nd preppiest school in the greater Valley area.'Ok and very rebellious' jumped out at me, too, but I take it in a different way.To me, when he says 'rebellious', it means 'still outside', still not owned by anyone or anything - just deciding to give some input when something as big as the future of the planet merits it. Who is he saying this to? To people who can already think for themselves? They don't need to hear it, as you just said. For people wavering about the subject on the basis of whether it affects their free thought to affiliate with anything, he's offering his take on it, how he squared it with his own ethos. 'It's ok to care' - sux when someone feels like they have to say that, doesn't it? But fuck, looking at the world we live in, it needs saying sometimes.

xXx.:Jinx:.xXx Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Impressed me: At the begining it was holiday, but what really got me into them was how they were in the past, they seemed awesome... and make wonderful music.Pissed the hell out of me: The U2/Green Day thing, how you have to freaking sell a kidney to get a Billie Joe signature series guitar(figure of speech), and recent stories that I've been hearing about them lately.

goodday Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Pissed Off:they honestly haven't done anything to make me pissed off/lose any respect for them....Oh yeah!!, they didn't play in Brazil on AI era ......

nimrod-41 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Pissed Off: Their setlist during the American Idiot Tour was the same for nearly every show, with just a few variations.Impressed: They are better live than on the records.

gabz_baby89 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 impressed me - everything! especially the U2 collaboration, i think that was awesome. i reckon its great to see bands use their celebrity to draw the public eye to important causes. i mean the NRDC thing got all our attention didnt it?pissed me off - nothing!!!! they are perfect in every way. its more the fans i can't stand, especially the ones who mock and talk shit about things the band can't control or whine about how they have become more mature (wtf?? they are 34!!), and the ones who ditched them after the american idiot phase ended.

zoki Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Dont try to prove my opinion wrong. Thats what I think. Good for you if youd be dissapointed. Those are my feelings on Green Day, and i fail to see how you can tell me otherwise. Opinions do not gain validity for simply existing. They have to be well educated and thought out to actually mean something. For most things, your initial view would be fine. But this is different. These are other people's views and ethics we're talking about. In Green Day's case, no one will ever know what they are, except for them.I was just expanding my view on your opinion, which in your eyes, I'm allowed to do. So there.

greendayfan262 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i really dont see why this topid was really made, cause i mean, we are sitting here on a green day site telling other fans what green day has done to piss us off.........i think its pretty stupid. but anyway thats my opinion. and some of you are saying stuff about adeline, and billie joe becoming a fashion designer, i dont think we really have all that much to complain about, because they are still giving us really good music, i think thats enough to ask for, they are people just like us, except with a lot more money and talent, so they make mistakes to. we piss people off, everyone does there is no getting around that. I just think we should be happy with what we have and what green day is doing. and with the comment about them needing to be musicians and not be all save the world, i think the NRDC thing is cool, and that if they are famous and have the money and stuff, to do that, then they should, cause we dont. Impressed: Everything they have donePissed off: nothing yet.impressed: did they help with the katrina thing? if so, then that. if not then i'll just say cool music.pissed me off: they're fashion sense sucks. they're like wearing black all the time, and those gay red ties. i hate them.ok. i had to comment on the pissed me off. in my opinion i like their fashion sense. yeah the red ties, i dont really like them, but i mean whats wrong with wearing all black? i do it all the time, black is an awesome color. but billie joe did wear something other than a red tie in some of the posters and stuff. i think.

allenxtreme Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Impressed: Last thing i was impressed by them, was when they brought Warning out, I love acoustic music, this wasn't exactly open chords or Eagle's style acoustic solos, but it was good enough for what they do. Alot of people hated Green Day for this album, I don't have a clue why though, this and Nimrod are possibly, their best albums, I'm not into the "heavier" side of rock music, so yeah that's why I prefer Warning. Pissed off: Where do I start...well the last thing they pissed me off with is the trying to save the world "Bono" style thing...it's like, give it a fucking rest, sure you're making a difference, but you're milking it a bit with all the advertising and fake letters (please, don't start rioting like in the other thread) they've become Bono clones, especially Billie Joe, the other two have barely said two words about it, which in itself proves something, if they are really really trying hard enough with all this save the world crap then, why don't fucking Mike and Tre say something, they've said bits and bobs but, Billie Joe has been the "spokesperson" which I don't think is right, that's his job on stage, not off.

Cassie. Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I was impressed that they joined with NRDC.
