Guilty Pleasures?

--- Quote from: mee-kay-la ---1. they followed suit with the rest of the bands (the singers who aren't in bands don't do the whole black eyeliner poser goth emo whatever the hell they are thing, ever notice that?) and became a poser punk emo wtf band.

I wouldn't dream of calling Green Day a poser goth emo etc., sure they ripped off their whole schtick from the Stiff Little Fingers, but they're one of the few real bands left in the mainstream pop punk scene. While Blink 182 have gone for emo and Good Charlotte for goth, Green Day have gone for 70's punk rock, not to mention they play way better songs than those 2 bands. Now I don't like Green Day, but I respect them, for staying true to what they are and always have been, namely a melodic pop punk band. They haven't followed trends or changed to become more popular, they just started out doing a thing that a bunch of people liked, and kept at it.

Green Day have got to have respect for being a FANTASTIC live act. I've seen them twice and should have seen them for a third time a fortnight ago (but that's a long, bitter and uninteresting story) and they're the best live act I've seen. So lively and energetic, really big on crowd interaction. They are real entertainers, not just musicians.

devils_daughter:
Nope, saw 'em at Cardiff (I think in 01) and at Reading last year.
