What do you think of Greenday?
 
So, I just wanted to see how popular Greenday is. I like their songs, and I wanted to know people's opinions.

Used to be okay with them, but now they're are just another band that's sorta going down hill.

I respect a few songs and stuff, but I'm not always fond of sad rock like that. I enjoy heavier stuff (aka Metallica).

My fav song by them is probably Brain Stew.

Trap-Eds October 8th, 2008 9:21 AM

Well, their songs are good. But they're just like any other band to me.

wolf October 8th, 2008 9:23 AM

They are ok, I just like other bands, sorry... They are just a normal band out there.

B-Baller October 8th, 2008 1:57 PM

I used to be a big fan of them...the very first songs I learned on bass were Green Day songs. Until of course, I got into heavier stuff and so I only listen to them occasionally now.

There was I time where I loved Green Day. :D They were among my favourite bands, and I was really obsessed with their "American Idiot" and "Dookie" albums. After time though, I grew tired of them, and although I don't really like them anymore, I'll listen to the odd song every once in a while.

Midnight Beat October 8th, 2008 3:05 PM

I used to be a huge fan, not so much anymore. They got old real fast. : \

Greenday are, to my knowledge, one of those bands that calls themselves punk but are actually emo.

SethCullen October 9th, 2008 5:13 PM

There a horrible "band." They shouldnt even be able to be called a band. Who makes a song about being a american idoit? Or a holiday? Or even when september ends? There just stupid.

Music reflects the culture it originates from. I know the lyrics of American Idiot to be consistent with that.
Also — it's they're, not there.

They're just one of those many bands out there. I used to love them, but I found new music.

Samurai X October 10th, 2008 12:20 AM

I don't love them and I don't hate them so I chose the many bands out there option but I would have voted for a "They were awesome" choice.

Joey the Cockroach October 10th, 2008 12:58 AM

Some earlier songs like Basket Case and Minority were good songs.

i think after American Idiot was when things started to go downhill. i dont really like them now.

Kirakishou October 10th, 2008 11:47 AM

I can't stand Greenday. They just aren't my type of music. I don't like the vocals, and the song lyrics don't really appeal to me.

Zaia Katora October 11th, 2008 2:28 PM

I like Green Day. I used to be obsessed with them....O_O.

I don't listen to them as much as I used to...mainly because I've found other bands to listen to. They're still one of my favorite bands.

Confuse October 11th, 2008 2:50 PM

They're just another band. They were really popular...back in 2000.

Are they even making new songs anymore?

fade101 October 12th, 2008 6:51 AM

Well, they are awesome but im not so into them...
A pretty good puck rock band i suppose...
Wake me up when september ends to me was their best song ever.....

Aurafire October 12th, 2008 7:28 PM

I don't particularly like punk rock in the first place, but I suppose Green Day would be the exception. Their earlier work was light years better than their newer stuff

Unforgettable October 14th, 2008 11:43 AM

They are alright. But their older stuff is way better than what has been put out recently.

Volkner's Apprentice October 14th, 2008 7:40 PM

Bleh..I was not a fan of Greenday in the beginning nor now am I. I just don't find their music that great, it's distracting when I drive and seems a little whiny XD.

KJ October 14th, 2008 8:18 PM

well i love them, ive listened to them for a long time now, the since when i come around days, but there popularity has deff gone down now-a-days but they will always be a fav band of mine

ShadowofTime01 October 15th, 2008 2:35 AM

I liked early Green Day, but now hate them after their latest release. I thought i was a tacky way of trying to become activists against our government. I'm all for fighting the man, but you don't go from punk/pop rock and then try to take on heavy themes. I'm not going to deny that i find a few of their songs off of American Idiot enjoyable, but in general now, I turn off Green Day if i hear it, unless it's an early song that i like.

GOD DAMNED GARY OAK October 15th, 2008 10:22 AM

theyre pretty good but they just seem to have vanished from the face of the planet recently :(

Bleuhorn October 18th, 2008 3:38 PM

I don't think much of them because they seem childish and kind of lame.

Same with pretty much any scene-esque band that writes cheesy songs with really crappy instrumentation. I just don't see what's so original about long ass names for bands and songs. It doesn't make you any more intelligent than a mud rolling fool.
I don't know about you but songs like
"I Totally Got Pants of Hardcoreness It Makes Me Want to Cry" makes you look and sound like an imbecile, to the point I believe you don't deserve to exist as artists.

It's not cool, it's not original sounding; it's never thought provoking art. It's the music industry making you be their circus monkey and you skipping to their beat.

Musical prodigies are born no longer guys. The 90's were/are the last of the epic, ground-breaking artists.

I hate Green Day, their music just sucks badly if you ask me(racist freaks)
