Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yikes, 5SOS is shit. I can't believe they even have fans but whatever. I guess Green Day just want to promote young rock bands or something. From what I can see on their Instagram accounts alone each member of 5SOS has over 3 million followers each and the official band account over 4 million...Maybe they could help promote Green Day. Yes they are total and complete shit but their annoying songs are constantly on the radio here and it seems they are fairly massive. It supprises me that green Day would do anything but slag them however because in the past they certainly weren't behind the door in slagging bands who were ripping them off badly (Sum41) or just crappy boybands who Billie felt were contributing to the "steady decline in music" (much music interview circa 2000).

Billie Hoe Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Really, that many? Holy cow. I tell you what, if Green Day were younger and more conventionally better looking and out for fangirls, they'd have a million followers too. I just can't take 5SOS seriously, I feel like they don't really seem to care much about music. Obviously I'm in no position to judge but their music is so mediocre and lame, you'd think they only wanted to become famous because they wanted to have girls to fawn over them. If that Michael Clifford guy wasn't famous, girls wouldn't even look at him with their backside 'cause he's fugly as hell. But that's just my opinion.

UNICORN VOMIT Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 5SOS did AI on the tribute/anniversary album for kerrang or something didn't they. I know they are Aussie boys & freaking love GD - so yeah they have great taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 They can't be that bad - at first I was like "wow 1D improved" I don't care about their music but I'm happy when their fans discover older pop-punk. Young girls getting into music are nothing to be frowned upon. So yeah, I think we need 5sos to promote older bands because pop-punk is dead.

Hermione Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Green Day have had plenty of fans who were attracted to them because of their looks too . In Dookie times they were on the front of teen magazines, Billie was a pin up and kids wanted to copy their wacky hair colours. Same in AI times because of their new trendy look, in 2005 there was a Green Day range in Claire's Accessories the same way you get One Direction and 5SOS ranges now. Always silly when people get angry about boy bands but seems even more silly than usual in Green Day fans' case. Music wise of course Green Day are legit and 5SOS aren't but that's why one is recognised as a proper band and one is recognised as a boy band, no harm in both existing. If someone hears 5SOS's cover and likes the song and ends up getting into Green Day because of it I can't see how that's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah exactly, Green Day were bashed by punks because they would write girl music and huge part of their audience were girls.Btw, I just don't see how is BJ less conventionally handsome. Look at BOBD video. He was a Mr. Pretty Face - they were One Direction of the 00's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 they were One Direction of the 00's. Now I wouldn't go so far to say that. There is a big difference, One Direction doesn't write their own songs or play instruments. I know 5SOS actually plays instruments and I think they write some songs too. I will admit, I noticed Billie before I ntoiced the music, so his looks help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarPunk94 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 GD back in the studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Some people got excited a few weeks ago when SJC posted something about new drums and Tré being in the studio but he was recording or practicing with Sara's band. Wouldn't get my hopes up. I'm going to guess this is for Sara's band too. From comments on her IG it seems they are planning to record a record. I assume that is also why she made her account public suddenly. The band already has a drummer but clearly intends to use their association with Tré to promote themselves. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything Green Day though based solely on that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I see 1D is obviously a classical boy band; they were similar in popularity and had female fanbase of teenagers. I agree that 1D were similar in popularity and have large female fanbases, but that is where the similarities end. 1D got their start on a competition show, they don't write their own music and (not sure on this) I don't think they play their own instruments. I just don't think calling GD the 1D of their day is a fair assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 thanks for updating me haha ! with GD doing their family stuff i'm not up to date whats going on in the GD worldNo problem To be honest if you know nothing about Green Day in the last few years you really haven't missed much as they really haven't been doing anything (really) as Green Day. Billie said months ago he had a couple of songs written but was taking his time and to be honest i think most of us feel like a new album is a long way off. Mostly in the past year he has been surfing, dying his hair various colours, writing for These Paper Bullets (a musical) and filmed a movie called Geezer in New York. Mike and Britt have been dealing with her illness. Jason also had cancer but has been touring with his band also. Tré meanwhile us living in Newport and...I don't really know what else he has been doing really lol. Anyway yeah we could do with a new album dammit but I guess we have to wait a bit.

Billie Hoe Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Btw, I just don't see how is BJ less conventionally handsome. Look at BOBD video. He was a Mr. Pretty Face - they were One Direction of the 00's. I didn't mean he isn't handsome, but less conventionally. If you ask some random woman on the street and show her an unedited photo of him, she probably wouldn't find him very attractive. Of course I think he's handsome though, especially in the AI era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 He's got a cute baby face! Recognized as being attractive and on the cover of teen magazines right from when Dookie came out. He might have a few quirks to his appearance that are less "conventional" but I think a pretty face like that is quite widely seen as attractive.

Beerjeezus Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think purely in terms of Billie's hotness it's a fair assessment Never! He's much hotter! I agree that 1D were similar in popularity and have large female fanbases, but that is where the similarities end. 1D got their start on a competition show, they don't write their own music and (not sure on this) I don't think they play their own instruments. I just don't think calling GD the 1D of their day is a fair assessment.I admit that, the comparison was a bit exaggerated. My point was that both bands (GD and 5sos) are/were popular mostly among young girls who were crazy about them. But of course, 1D are not a band in usual sense of that word I didn't mean he isn't handsome, but less conventionally. If you ask some random woman on the street and show her an unedited photo of him, she probably wouldn't find him very attractive. Of course I think he's handsome though, especially in the AI era not that I'd have the guts to try that however, I'd say he's the kind of man who's successful with women. I mean, he has flaws but they give him that much-desired bad boy look . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteredminority Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Tré actually included de hashtag #GreenDay in the description of the photo, so maybe it is indeed Green Day related. Although I understand that it isn't very likely right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan86 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 The first thing I thought when I saw that picture Tre posted was that they could be working on new songs or jamming. It's definitley the most encouraging picture I have seen from any of the guys in recent months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
