Hermione Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Don't say that, please !! Unfortunately I'm superstitious , so don't say that !! And I think that Mike and Billie Hate to use a plane. No, it was an helicopter.Don't worry, he's just being silly!Yeah I remember hearing that at Woodstock 2 Mike and Billie were too scared to go in a helicopter because apparantly there's no scientific reason why helicopters can fly . In the end they had to be airlifted to safety because of the mudfight anyway so they had no choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macu Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 'Punk' bands hate Green Day. Green Day aren't in the 'punk' scene. Go figure.I desagree.Some of the punk bands don't hate Green Day.But,on the other hand,there are bands who hate them.And I think Green Day ARE in the punk scene. -----Well,I don't think it could be true.They can't live without music(if the band isn't called Green Day is called The network band,The Foxboro Hot Tubs,The Frustrators,Pinhead gunpowder...).But,I know,they will leave music behind one day.

Hermione Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 'Punk' bands hate Green Day. Green Day aren't in the 'punk' scene. Go figure.Most of those 'punk' bands conform ridgidly to the 'rules' that apparantly have to apply and all sound the same. I thought punk was about a lifestyle of non conformity. Green Day came from a local punk scene and continue to support it despite the ungrateful and jealous backlash. How the fuck can anyone criticise them for being on a major label when every one of the 'original' punk bands that they love so much was on a major? I'm glad they don't conform to a set of music rules like those boring bands and I'm sure they couldn't care less if some uncreative loser is bitter about their success!Green Day aren't in the 'punk' scene because they're better than it.

Hermione Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I don't have a problem with major label bands. There are plenty that I listen to. Green Day is not punk. They came from a scene, but they left it.I was referring to the hypocritical people who DO have a problem with it. I think if you define punk as simple a description of music or as being part of a scene, Green Day aren't that. But if you define it as a way of life and an approach to music where you do what you want, they are more punk than any of the bands that conform and don't experiment for fear of being kicked out of the cool little scene. Have you heard the crap John Lydon has said about Green Day? What a bitter old man.This doesn't apply to anyone on here, but they are certainly more punk than any armchair critic listening to some hardcore punk band on an ipod their parent's bought them who calls them 'sell-outs'. Also, through Adeline records and other projects they have supported their local punk scene and community more than most.I agree with you. I you!

Hermione Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ha, John Lydon is the man.I don't see how he'd be bitter about Green Day.Here's an article-"John Lydon has hit out at Green Day calling them “plonk” and accusing them of stealing the term ‘punk’.The former Sex Pistols front man says the US trio are a watered down version of the true punk ethos according to contactmusic.He said: "Don't try and tell me Green Day are punk. They're not, they're plonk and they're bandwagoning on something they didn't come up with themselves. I think they are phony."He added on the subject of the Sex Pistols battle with the establishment: "The government's against you, the police are on you. So there we are fending off all that and it pisses me off that years later a wank outfit like Green Day hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves.”"They didn't earn their wings to do that and if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do." " at this- "If they were punk they wouldn't look anything like they do"I have heard numerous other examples of him slagging them off. He has also said if they were punk they'd still be driving around in a bookmobile! This is coming from a man who lives in LA and went on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Sad old man much?
