communitykid Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 A while back a friend of mine and I were talking about Green Day, and he suggested that almost every song on a Green Day CD is the same. Meaning that everything on Dookie sounds the same, and everything on Warning sounds the same, etc.. I made the argument that it's not possible to say that Hitchin' A Ride, Take Back, Good Riddance, King For A Day, and Redundant sound anything a like(all songs from Nimrod). The argument went further, but I have to go watch TV. Whatcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 But, I doubt Musical Greatness is what Green Day has ever strived for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Spiffy. Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 not all green day songs sound the same.....but each album has its own "sound". like when a song comes on the radio, before ive recognized the song, im picturing the album cover.its like "okay...this is american idiot..." or "i hear some dookie playing"so he has a point, but you also have a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I've heard people say that kind of stuff too. And i think it's the same as me saying that every Creed, Evanescence or NOFX song sounds the same to me. I'm sure to their fans they can tell the different styles apart, to me they sound a lot alike.I can tell the difference in Green Day songs, especially different albums. I would say that it's a matter of how closely you want to listen to tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewels! Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, no offence to Green Day, but power chords can only go so far.True.Still.I think every Green Day song is special in its own little way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viva La Junkpile Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 That's a ridiculous statement to make. Green Day make ALBUMS, which means the songs have "flow" into one another nicely-- unlike Shenanigans (which is why it's a COMPILATION album). But none of the songs are alike.

communitykid Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think the kid meant the voice sounded the samewell duh, these guys only record their album in a matter of dayspuberty takes yearsNah. He was mostly referring to guitar. Power chords can get redundant, but it's the way that Billie chooses to create catchy riffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pan. Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Your friend obviously needs to get himself a new pair of ears.I honestly think each Green Day album has a unique sound... of course there's obviously going to be "similarities" -- you can't expect Billie to change his frickin' voice in every record; he's always going to sound the same.
