Billie Joe number 8 on list of Top 11 Rock Alternative Guitarists

We asked, and you answered. After presenting a diverse field of 25 alternative rock guitar heroes, the almost 60,000 votes from readers have been tabulated to result in your Top 11 Alt-Rock Guitarists of All-Time.

8. Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) Punk’s reigning prince remains an underrated guitarist, despite a seemingly endless bag of riffs and the ability to rip out a blistering solo when necessary.

That's pretty good.

Oh, and the voting is still open for one more week until today at some point! We can still get him up higher on the list! :D

(Vote at the bottom!)

Whaaaaaat, I love 21CB (the song) :o this is the first song I heard with being aware that THIS is Green Day, and it was so amazing that I rushed into the next music store and bought Nimrod (Fortunately they didn't have 21st century breakdown and American idiot, why ever :D) and international super hits. Damn, this song is so good.

i meant the album ;) ...the song was great, great lyrics, great melody, everything was totally fitting, though i have to admit that i prefered the demo version, but i know that one wouldn't fit to the album (cos the beginning would be even slower and naw, it wouldn't be good xD)

Hey guys this is my first time posting something on here so sorry if this is in the wrong thread or anything still new at this :P but i just want to ask do you think what happened at iheartradio will hurt Green Day's reputation/popularity? i know they don't care about reputation too much but as a fan it's just been something that's been on the back of my mind since & i want to get your take on it :)

Since someone asked for it... here are for anyone who's interested in a huge ass (Really... It took me the whole math lesson including hiding and interruptions [Yes. I read it in school. I'm such a badass,right? ] to read ) article in the current 'visions' the scans. Would be better if you're able to read german :P My scanner's shit, the magazin's fucking fat and the pages got a little fucked up in my school bag, but yea. I tried my best, It's quite legible.

Übrigens irgendwie unverschämt dass das in drei Teile gesplittet wird, ich meine... Das Magazin kostet immerhin um die 5, 6€ ... Naja, so lang man sich auch für die anderen Bands interessiert. :rolleyes:

Not sure if someone already posted this but...

This pissed me off beyond belief. There's no way of knowing if that's actually Billie, but it sure as hell sounds like it.

If you can't listen to the audio, it's basically this radio show host from the UK who decides to get in on the "Someone wake up Billie..September's over joke." Yeah...THAT one.

Well, this dumbass gets the brilliant idea of calling up Billie somehow when it becomes exacty 12:00 in Cali (Oct. 1st), and making crude remarks about him waking up. Lets just say Billie didn't sound too thrilled. I sure as fuck wouldn't be either.

I think it's likely fake, but it's still really dumb. -_-

I'm pretty sure it's fake. That guy on the telephone sounds nothing like Billie Joe.

I hate it when dumb people like this make WMUWSE jokes and they don't even know what the song is about.

:mad:

"September ended, let's wake up this Green Day guy!" SHUT UP FOR GOD'S SAKE :mad:

Hmm not liking how they've made that cover sound all sensationalist like some glossy magazine would. Thought they'd be a bit more tactful than that.

Absolutely.

and GD are btw mentioned somewhere else as well :P

thanks for posting the scans :)

naja, stimmt schon, dass es teuer ist und es dann vielleicht scheiße ist, wenn man drei von diesen magazinen kaufen muss, wenn man das komplette interview lesen will, allerdings find ich es gut, dass sie es in drei teile untergliedert haben, ich mein, schau dir mal an wie viel die schon allein in dem einen heft über GD geschrieben haben, wenn das is den anderen beiden magazinen genauso viel wird, ist es einfach nur genial und auch fast unmöglich in ein magazin zu packen, weil es gibt ja auch noch andere bands...und der preis ist sicher so teuer weil da immerhin 2 CDs drin sind und weil, wie auf der ersten seite erwähnt wurde, die produktionskosten und die vertriebskosten gestiegen sind. deshalb nervt mich der preis wohl eher weniger, aber was mich wirklich nervt ist, dass Billie wiedermal falsch geschrieben wurde...aber komischer weise nur manchmal und nicht immer :huh:
