Fun Stuff > BAND
ne green day fans?
valley_parade:
I saw them on the American Idiot tour, actually. They played for damn near two hours, and most of it was pre-Warning songs. A good time. They can still put on a hell of a show, dudes.

Nimrod was my first green day album. I used to blast it out like every single day. Then I got international superhits, the rest and then american idiot.
I have to say I wasn't that impressed with american idiot. I dunno, I just don't listen to green day anymore..It's got nothing to do with elitism, I don't think- I listen to other bands with the same amount of mainstream-icity.
I guess it's just one of those bands I kinda grew out of, and can't really listen to anymore.
Anyways, I saw them at Milton Keynes, on the american idiot tour (I think), and they ruled. Apart from hard fi. I don't care what anyone says, green day are an awesome live band.

Honestly Dookie and the two albums before that are not bad. After that, eh.
People are really not trying hard enough with these fake threads.

bbq, for what it's worth, I wasn't accusing you of being elitist at all. I was referring more to the people on this forum who actually would sneer at Green Day, who the original post is referring to.
As for a good live band... well guys, I ask you.
At your gig, did he...
- Make 'King For A Day' last for about eight minutes, incredibly tediously, ditto for 'Hitchin' A Ride'?
- Spray the audience with a super-soaker?
- Get kids onstage to play in the band and give one of them a guitar?
- Wear a crown?
- Have a man in a rabbit costume come out and screw around before the gig?
- In a hideously ironic moment, say, 'whatever bastard is in power always stay true to yourself and be an individual'?
Yeah. All that happened at mine. And at all the ones I've asked anyone else about too.
The last tour wasn't a punk rock show. Sure, it was competent. But there was a time when Green Day were an out of control live band and each show was different and it was fun. Now it's a charade.
I look on, incredibly intrigued, at what they are going to come up with to follow that album and tour... their Final Cut to their Wall, if you will.

Oh, joke accounts. Sometimes you make me laugh like a little girl.
