FJ Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 You Brits and your extra "u"'s everywhere.You Americans and your bastardisation of the English language. If it's not a rumour, and they perform, I will consider them to be pussy-ass sellouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbk Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah, but it's not just that - I mean, American Idol is a complete poxarama of a kind which is replicated all over the world now. It's a training course in How to Succeed By Being Mediocre, it cultivates personality over ability - much like politics - and what's the end result? Crap. Both the contestants and the people who vote for them are manipulated by the television company and the advertisers as just ratings-fodder. "keep you doped on religion and sex and tv" - maybe if someone stands up right in front of them and says that loud as only GD can, people might notice the coma they're in. Or not, lol!American Idol is kind of a joke. I think even Green Day have slammed it, saying they made it by working their way up from nothing, not by winning a contest. But hey if they're going to promote Amnesty International, and the message itself of Working Class Hero, I'm glad they're gonna do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratepalmer Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Green Day sold out. :down:Fucking hell. If you can't see it for what it is/why they're doing it - then ffs! You have no faith in them. Bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtoconcentrate Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 What time does it air at in the U.S? What time is it over there now? If they do perform, hopefully it will be on Youtube straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*withoutadoubt* Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 It's on from 8-10 pm, that's a little over three hours from now. I'm sure they will keep us waiting, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo3000 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 It can't be true or it would be on the american idol website.I don't know if it's true either, but it says SURPRISE guest. Not much of a surprise if they're advertising it to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Fucking hell. If you can't see it for what it is/why they're doing it - then ffs! You have no faith in them. Bugger.I object to the way they're doing it. It's ok to tease the corporate cock by appearing on the odd program with some credibility. But going on American Idol?

piratepalmer Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah but that's the whole point: how far away can you get from where they came from to make the fucking point? The point is they're doing it. For charity. They are a band, all by themselves, no fucking Simon Fucking Cowell to tell them which way to flick their hair. The very fact they are on there is punk rock enough for me.We are realWe are a bandAll by ourselves. ?geddit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnrgf_drummer611 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 you guys gotta pull your heads outa your asses.someone was saying about how if they were to preform, it would be on the amiercna idol website. thats not nessicarily true. The point is that they would be a "suprise" or "secret" buest. I live near Philidelphia, and all i have heard on the radio today is stuff about how GD will be on it. Personally, im not telling the future, i have no idea. I think the guys a bit above that, but with Working Class Hero out, and the video coming and what not, its not completley impossible. Green Days just like every other band. if they want publicty for a song, they're going to do something to get it. And if they dont, then they wont. and stop bitching about GD being sellouts. geezus. i know youll be right there next time they play a sold out out stadium show. notice i got through all that without giving my opnion on american idol. serisouly....gaaah.

I think they're sell-outs, you don't think they are. You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.I thought I'd get slated by everyone for calling them sell-outs, but it didn't stop me posting my opinion.

**nobodylikesyou** Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Green Day sold out. :down:Who Cares? Shut up already. Please you are so annoying. Your weenie opinion has nothing to do with this thread.For the record my husband just called and I accidently rejected his call and when he called back he said dont reject me!! I said green day has a song named Reject. He say Oh Yeah, I heard on the radio that Green Day is gonna be on some award show or something on tv tonight. SO I told him about American Idol. He said yeah thats it. Lets watch it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
