I was just pointing out that Green Day hit platinum for their 2 latest albums, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Red81 Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 hilarious that green day is still trying to sell themselves as a punk band. pretty sure "punk" would have something to say about handsome millionaire 40 years olds posing on stage, but hey to each his own. also, they suck and are sharing the stage with taylor swift and usher...sooo punk.

Members Beyer160 Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 Originally Posted by TattooedCarrot I doubt being out the guitar is a big deal. Cheaper than paying for promotion. And you really think all this bad press hurts a band like that? If anything, its put them in public view for the first time in a long time. Like I said, they just got put on the front page for the cost of a Les Paul Special - that's cheap advertising if you ask me. True, the guitar was inconsequential but that still doesn't count as a "plus".If you subscribe to the Oscar Wilde school of "the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about", then I guess this is good for them. However, there is a difference between good press and bad press- just ask Lindsay Lohan. Who, as it happens, is about as punk rock as Green Day.

Members Helldogg Posted September 23, 2012 Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 Green Day is a pop band and Billie Joe is no different than Justin Bieber. They were ok in the begining then Billie got up his own ass and starting thinking they were better than they are. Also they issued an apology to iheartradio...oooohh how punk!

Members deanmass Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 Wow. Obviously few of you remember what was out in the early 90's. Grunge. Punk is fastirreverent, simple anger music. Just cause Green Day have evolved and aged, their roots are punk. By these standards Iggy Pop is not punk anymore either. It seems like about 1/3 of the people on here need to put everyone in a box and tear down the successful. Dookie was brilliant. American Idiot was brilliant. Again I ask, one of you...link me to ONE song you did that is brilliant. I don"t have one. Bet you don't either. When you get in to over analysis of this, you miss the point. Green Day is great band. You wanna talk punk cred? GG Allin. Go. Billy being a Diva? no. He's having a effing meltdown because live music has beome a scripted reality show. Same {censored} in the other thread, so many people ripping Journey and Bon Jovi. Don't dig the tunes? Cool. Don't listen to em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2012 If the guy is now in rehab, he was ill when he did what he did. I can't stand the music or image that Green Day or BJ portray and yes Celine Dion is more punk than he is. Let's see how he gets on in rehab, it can often turn a wanker boy into a relatively mature grown up. Everybody deserves a chance, it's now up to him whether he takes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
