GreenDay!!! - Page 4

A lot of the Green Day fans scare me. They are like a pack of rabid hyenas. They give the Dave Matthews fans a run for their money. *shivers from fright*

Kaguyahime · 01-06-2006, 10:48 AM

That's good that he isn't one of those salivating overly fervent types.
They're very enthusiastic to say the least.

Needled · 01-06-2006, 04:05 PM

I'm sure there are a few Dave Matthews fans that fit your description, and a few Green Day fans like that as well. Shit, every band has at least a couple of fans of that sort... why single out Green Day and Dave Matthews fans? Personally, I don't think they are any different from fans of any other bands.

joyslayer · 01-06-2006, 08:50 PM

I have actually met a rabid DMB fan. They were like, molesting me on how I could not like them.

Anubissokar · 01-06-2006, 09:17 PM

The members of Greenday... Every single one of them. Deserves a painful.. long... tormenting... and unending death. Something like being skinned alive and having maggots poured all over their flesh,

Then having your blood replaced with a cold salt solution. Brought back to life. And having it done all over again.

My girl freind is that way... Its sad isnt it how a Band can brain wash people into worshipping them.

joyslayer · 01-06-2006, 09:36 PM

Well, some bands deserve, others, not so much.

lol.. My history teacher is a Dave Matthews fan. He has the keychains, and rocks the DMB belt buckle. Seriously.

Surgeon Méchant De Sang · 01-07-2006, 02:55 PM

I'm not really a Green Day fan, but I do like some of their older stuff.
And no, they're not a bad band, but they are by far not the greatest one.

pitseleh · 01-08-2006, 03:26 AM

It's really annoying, every time I mention to someone I'm into punk rock, they almost always say: "Oh, like Green Day and Bad Religion?" Like they are the pinnacle of modern punk rock. Then, when I mention stuff like Fugazi, The Briefs, Hot Snakes, pg.99, or any of the hundreds more obscure bands I like, all I get is a blank stare. It's sad, really. Punk is not just "three chords and the truth" anymore. Things actually have progressed since the late 70's.

joyslayer · 01-08-2006, 11:21 AM

Yeah, now with lyrics that sometimes make sense. Pfft, it's not what it used to be.

Then you're not listening to underground punk, by which I mean the music that is made DIY-style on the basis of uncompromising self-expression independent of big label support and genre restrictions. I'm talking about the true spirit of punk, not the label that gets slapped on every band who starts their songs with a shout of "one, two, three, four!" and have ultra-simple song structures with chugging power chords.

True punk is not dead, it just got commodified and streamlined for mainstream consumption, like every other sub-culture. But for every Green Day there will always be a hundred independent bands making songs a hundred times more interesting and relevant and touring relentlessly to get their music out there.

pitseleh · 01-09-2006, 10:11 AM

Hehe... yeah, I guess.. Anything to be of assistance to you, beautiful Xnguela. Don't expect too much, though, what with my mood swings and school about to start again, but I'll try.

Now that I've gotten into the swing of things, it fels like I've never been gone at all. Some of these new people aren't so bad after all! Others though... phooey! (Not directed at you, joyslayer.)

JuliaGaltic · 01-09-2006, 10:23 AM

Xnguela, just thought you should know that I think you are super fun and adorable!

Pretty damn fun-knee.

Here's three chords. Now go start a punk band.

Thanks! Now all I need are some militant vegan crusties and a rehearsal space to occupy and I'm all set... for a future of touring Germany and Eastern Europe in a battered van, subsisting on lukewarm veggie-stew and dumpster treats. Punk Rock!

Blushing Heliophobe · 01-10-2006, 12:37 AM

Squater - go home!

(in case you thought I was making fun of you, I was not. That was from a punk mag in the 70's)

pitseleh · 01-10-2006, 01:04 AM

No worries, I didn't think you were making fun of me. Wouldn't mind if you did, though.

So did you mean it was the "here's three chords..." -quote that was from a punk mag? 'Cuz I think I've heard that somewhere before. I wasn't alive in the 70's, though... Well, technically for a few months during late '79, but born in 1980.

Just curious, were those chords by any chance D, A and G? If so, I'd like to trade in the D for an F. Much more sinister.

Blushing Heliophobe · 01-10-2006, 01:30 AM

I wasn't alive then, either.

But F is so much harder to play...

Hard to play is SO not punk rock!

Needled · 01-11-2006, 07:01 PM

I thought I would post some quotes by Billie Joe.

"A lot of people, when they talk to me, I can't wait for them to shut up...Like, Shut up, you're a moron. I have nothing to say to you, you know? I'm not trying to enhance the conversation, so shut up.''

"Punk rock's dead, and I fucking killed it."

"They sound like Tré choking on a hair ball." (on Slipknot)

"Alternative? Alternative to what? This is as mainstream as it gets!" (on green day's music)

There was actually a specific quote I was looking for, I remember reading it awhile back. It had to do with the whole 3 chord thing. He said something like he compared himself to a talented artist who only uses a few of the many colors off of his palette to create a masterpiece.

joyslayer · 01-11-2006, 08:21 PM

"I sound like an englishman impersonating an american who is impersonating an englishman" Said by Billie Joe, lead singer of greenday. I don't know why, I just really like this quote.

Blushing Heliophobe · 01-11-2006, 11:50 PM

Totally on a tangent, that happened to me in the tubes a little while back! I apologize in advance to my British net members, but my mister and I sometimes imitate accents for fun between each other. For instance, the Brits in my area never pronounce their 't' unless it's the beginning of a word...like the infamous "'Elo, mis-ress, fancy a shag?" thing. Well, I was riding the tube in London and there's a kid imitating Californians! "Ey, dude, like, les go surfin', like, like, wha-evah! Wha-evah! To-ally."

And then I realized that's what Americans who try to sound British for their bands must sound like to Brits.

Sad, really...

Needled · 01-12-2006, 01:15 PM

Yeah I had read that quote about Billie Joe a while back. I think it's quite true.. there are times when he sounds english. Or an englishman impersonating an american impersonating an englishman as he says.
