What are your feelings towards Green Day now?

I don't know, I'm upset that we haven't heard much. But I also understand that hey are more than Green Day now, they have families and more important obligations ratrher than to keep

us updated on what they've been up to.

I'm sure if it was super important we'd hear from them, a watched pot never boils :)

We just have to give it time.

Andres I can certainly see why you are frustrated. Being promised something and that not happening would be frustrating. I would think a brief update here or there wouldnt be out of the question.

I still love green day and listen to them often. Just today I put my green day library on random at work and heard stuff I hadnt in a long time from all the albums. I still think their music is great.

I dont feel like they owe me anything. They are massive now. Thats a fact. They cant help that. They cant operate the way they used to.

AI may have been released in late 2004 but the hoopla from that didnt end until really spring of 06. If I toured like they did for 2 yrs, hit and played almost every award show for two years, and numerous other interviews and special events, and led that hectic life style I wouldnt be worth shit for awhile. So figure they take a year off puts them into sping 07. I cant really complain that they havent released anything yet. As they said, they need time to figure out what the hell had just happened to them, and to experience life so they have something to write about. I dont think they will release something that is just another piece of crap. So I imagine whatever it is and whenever it comes, will be worth the wait.

Green Day are just another band to me, nothing special.. I couldn't care if they came out with 5 albums this year it still wouldn't make me wanna be a fan again.. as some have said they've gotten over them since how much a disappointment they have been since American Idiot and I can't agree any more on this subject, they have just been a constant let down and it's repelling the older more mature fans and it's attracting the more immature o called fans.

Mehh. :mellow:

Or I could've just said this lol.

Marc what has been such a let down for you?? I disagree about it repelling the older fans. I think it will make the fair weather fans disappear.

Well I still love them, but I've only been a fan for the last few years (too busy raising a family to be aware of their existance !) so I can't judge whether they're worse at communicating now than in the past.

It is disappointing to have so little news and worse still to hear it from third party sources like interviews in Kerrang rather than directly from them to us. But I do think that its in their nature to be secretive and they avoid unwanted publicity so they can concentrate on making music without being chased by the media.

I think that they just don't realise how important it is to us to have even a little snippet of news now and then.

They did make the effort to give us FHTs - even in secret, and I'm really looking forward to the new album whenever it comes out

I think we have to accept that they're just plain hopeless when it comes to communication skills and bide our time watching old videos of them and getting on with our lives.

Green Day still are my all-time favourite band - I haven't lost one bit of interest in them. I still listen to their albums, and get excited when I see them mentioned in a magazine. That's why I joined the forum. I'm not bothered by the lack of updates, because I know the reason they're taking their time is because they want to make a great album. Plus, there's other bands releasing albums as well - they'll keep me occupied :P

I don't get people saying they don't like Green Day anymore...why the hell do you still visit the forum? I smell porkies... :rolleyes:

Seriously, though, Green Day have a life too. They know they have a loyal fanbase who'll wait any length of time, so they're just pacing themselves. :)

Their really just another band in my play list like so many others.

Though I have good memories from them such as my first concert

and little things like that, I'm not going to forget but other then

that I'm not such a big fan as I used to be.

Maybe if we get some new music from them I might get back into them

more but not like I used to. :/

I was just let down bout how much they sold out with alot of stuff... anything to make a buck. like I would never buy anything they merched minus a few things like posters and maybe a shirt.. and maybe a a necklace. they seem to be the new KISS to me with the merchandising thing and what also repelled me was american idiot it got to bleh too fast for me where as I'd happy enjoy listening to Dookie or Warning on repeat for hours I couldn't do that with american idiot..

alot of the older fans I know are turning away from them... and more new wave fans are taking over, It might be due to the little wanna be punks I know mine is a mix of both new wave "fans" and the whole "selling" out thing.

It maybe a Green Day forum but it dosen't ALWAYS have to be about Green Day.

I know tones of people on here who don't like Green Day but come on here since it's

a good forum and they have friends here.

Us ex fans have as much right to be here as anyone who's sole purpose isn't to bash the band.

also every band/artist has a loyal fanbase tbh one of the most loyal and growing I know of is Motley Crue's it's been almost 8 years since we have a seen a full album release yes they have released 3 cd's since then but that's different, also sure they also released 2 new songs on their latest "studio" produced cd but that was in support of the tour... then came the live cd with the dvd which was also amazing.. but yeah none of the fans winge... cause we all know the album will be released when the hell they feel like it.

I'm growing impatient with the delay of a new album cause I'm really bored with the lack of good CD's being released

And I'm definitely not the uber obsessed fan I use to be when I first joined but I still love GD
