A Few Green Day Related Thoughts...


Newham

Recommended Posts

I'm happy to wait for the new album. It gives me time to discover new bands, download new songs and whatever. They deserve a break even if it is monstrously long. :rolleyes:

And you have to remember there was SUPPOSED to be an album between Warning and AI.

You could always pick another band to listen to; Instead of

pondering and twiddling your thumbs waiting for Green Day..?

In short, stop trying to save the world and get back to doing your jobs!

Oh whoops, I guess they thought saving the world from disaster was important.

They're hardly saving the world from disaster are they? They're writing songs and raising money.

Don't get me wrong, it's a worthy charge indeed, but do it in your spare time fellas!

Y'know, I agree - but I think it's less saving the world that's the problem - might be more to do with the 88 condoms thing ....... :whistling: :lol:

We are sensibly talking endlessly.

I don't think we've been waiting for this new album that long, not really. Plus it hasn't really been just two albums in seven years. There was supposed to be another album, regardless of what apparently happened to it. We had two complilation albums, a live album and DVD, loads of tours. I think i'd rather they took their time, no matter how long, to put a brilliant album rather than rush into it and release one that's not quite up to scratch. Plus Billie said himself, they want distance between this album and AI; if they won't, they'll only be assused of cashing in.

I hate to be offtopic, don't shoot me Kelly :P

This is a family forum love :P

Yeh, but I'm 11 & I read all sorts of crap here. Am I traumatized? Nope.

3.) No. This is not a family forum. Let the girl talk about her Vegan Sexuality. :)

I'm 11. This appears to be a family forum after all. [/offtopic]

Okay. Stop bitching, Green Day do have lives (even though it doesn't always seem like it). Let them save the world, then can do what they fucking well want. I'm not bothered about the new album too much tbh, I'm keeping myself occupied with other bands & their old stuff. :)

Black Holes and Revelations and WPSIATWIN are better than AI.

American Idiot was brilliant, best album since Nimrod by some distance. It's been over three years since its release however, the Arctic Monkeys have released two quality albums in that time, Muse have released two epic albums too.

DONT! compare muse and the arctic monkeys to green day

i think you shouldnt say all that kinds of stuff about green day. if youre a real fan you should still like their old song it dosnt matter if you hear them 6 times a day okay?' they are one of the best bands ever and you should respect that! and about the humanitarian acts they do you should be thankful because theyre making your planet better... i dont think youre doing so much to help as them so please dont complain.

to the one who wrote about the billiejoe-ness: its totally not true, green day doesnt give more importance to billie jo than to the other members of the band, and if you hear his name more often is because he likes contributing to good causes such as the reconstruction of houses in new orleans and emilys army..

i really dont understand why you people dont get that green day members also have lives, they dont live just for you!

its true that i also want new material but i still love their old material. i hear to green day everynight while i go to sleep and i dont really care if the songs are new or old, i just enjoy them a lot!

and just so you know they are working on their new coming albums and rumors say that there might be three of them, so stay calm and be patient. but please DONT INSULT GREEN DAY or you are just an idiot!

they did a shitload of touring for American Idiot. That was like 2 years gone right there.

And there was the period where they were on the rocks, no?

It has been pretty long, but it really hasn't been them just pissing time, and besides, new album '08.

I always think that. I know it's good and everything, but I don't know, it's like they're taking it too far or something. Some people probably say you can't take something like that too far but still. I agree with you!

you should give them time...if you rush them into making a new album quickly, it'll be shitty.

simple.

they'll make an album when they make an album..

they've made it clear that their getting in gear and working on a new one so don't bitch just because their not obsessively focused on the album.

and god forbid if they helped people in the process!

1.) Stop bitching. They're working on material now. They've already said they have alot of stuff to do and alot of ideas to kick around.

2.) You don't have to be as good as Slash or Neil Peart to make great music. Green Day makes awsome music without needing to be technically advanced. (Keep in mind, a persons taste in music differs from other people, so it's all based on opinions)

3.) No. This is not a family forum. Let the girl talk about her Vegan Sexuality. :)

Did some one question it?

Don't hate dendrophiliacs just because they're different.

This is a family forum love.

I was actually not thinking that way........for once.

Entertainment = GDA, internet, books, other music...

Having a veggie orgasm had no place on that agenda, thank you.

But...

I'm not here to complain.

Back to topic.

I think it was pretty ignorant to post badly against Green Day before he even introduced himself.

Christ...

Before anyone comes back in with 'they can do what they like, when they like', i would like to say that whilst that may be partly true, they do owe us a lot. We're the reason Billie-Joe has a huge house, Mike has a flash car and Tre has an expensive kit to destroy every night. Put frankly, they'd be nothing without us and it's frustrating to see them do everything but what they're good at - making us jump around like daft gits.

I couldn't disagree more, and frankly this sort of attitude makes me a little sick. First off, they owe us absolutely nothing. Not only have most of us done nothing for them other than buying their records -- were they supposed to give them out for free? -- but what they have done for us is beyond anything we could pay them back for. It's so rare to come across a work of art that actually moves you and changes how you see the world and your life, and they've done it over and over, and always with this aw-shucks kind of unassuming humility.

The greed of some fans who think that they own the band and have a right to make demands on them, even just intheir own minds, is just disturbing.

What they're good at is not making people jump around like daft gits -- speak for yourself on that one :wink: -- but affecting people on a very deep and personal level, one that's also fun and exhilariting but no less significant for it. And part of why they're able to do that is because of who they are as people and what they care about. You couldn't take the social conscience out of them and have them be the same people who put out the same music.

And the whole thing about them being rich enough to buy stuff and that's what makes them "something" is incredibly off the mark. They are musicians and that's what they do and why they do it. They've never done it for the money. They put out great music when they were poor as dirt, and they were not "nothing" then. Without us they'd be really great musicians, putting out great music that only fans of a small scene would know about. That's not "nothing." They would be exactly what they are today.
