Did Green Day influence you to start learning an insrument?

[Melly.]

no they didnt, i was listening to 'Running Free by Iron Maiden'

and i love the bass line and thats what made me want to learn bass

because STEVE HARRIS FUCKING OWNS!

[greenday_111]

they did but didnt... i already wanted to learn how to play guitar and bass, but i use them as "idols"... because i would like to be able to play like them, but they did inspire me to want to be in a band...

[Aless]

They're the main reason why I'm getting off my ass and trying to learn guitar/bass/drums.

Damn hard, aswell.

[MartyArmstrong]

I started to play guitar to start to play Green Day song, and to make a band and play with my friends!

[St.Jamie]

Yes...because I loved the music and I wanted to make music too , but i too really play their songs

[Redundant_Jane]

Yes...because I loved the music and I wanted to make music too

[Jessica Caroline]

I wanted to learn guitar before I started to like Green Day, but now I want more than ever

well that sums up what I wanted to say I always wanted to play the guitar but I was just too lazy to actually start learning

[Hannah.]

Definitely, I've now been playing acoustic guitar for about 4 ½ years.

[danielharris627]

Ha...no.

[GreenDay_AreTehSex]

Yep, Green Day did, I always watched them on stage and thought how amazing it would be to be able to play a guitar like they can.

[sarahthenimrod]

I was always interested in playing the guitar so probably would have taught myself anyway... but green day did inspire me and my band to get together.

[suicidexmakeover]

yes.guitar but i still can't play haha

[Guest Phoebe.]

It was a joint effort. My friend Elsa got an acoustic guitar for her birthday one year, and I loved to sit and listen to her play. I thought "Hmm, it'd be cool to do that" and also my music tastes changed to more guitar-based music, and I thought "Hey, why not?"

I still suck, mind.

[Butt_code]

yes them made me want to learn to play guitar

[American_Idiot45]

kind of i`ve always wanted to play guitar but then I started haering green day and now I like the drums better so now I play the drums

[apocalipstick]

i'd already been playing piano since i was 5, but Green Day did inspire me to pick up a guitar.

[Belinda]

The Beatles were actually my first musical influence.

[greendayownsyou7]

i started learning the piano when i was 11. and i loved it then i tried to play gd songs, so they kinda did influence me but i have wanted to play since i was really little.

[123]

My parents got me a guitar when I was like 7 or so. I took lessons and stuff, but I had no motivation to play or practice. I had no taste in music back then. But when I got real into GD and other bands, I got motivated to learn. Just everytime I see them live on TV or whatever, I wanna start playing my guitar.

[Jessica]

i already wanted to learn to play guitar and drums, but their music made me actually learn a little bit about both instruments

[BeckyJo]

no because i still cant play any instrument

[LamBCHoP]

Green Day didn't really inspire me to learn any new instruments coz i was already learning piano and guitar and i play keyboards for church, but they certainly inspired me to learn their songs. and now i wanna learn the bass coz of mike's base lines

[No Man Can Eat Fifty Eggs!]

Yes, once I saw them perform live, I said, "Waaaaiiiiit a minute! I wanna learn guitar! I want a band! I want it, I want it!" Just because I love music so much. I had been learning acoustic guitar before then, but I wanted electric REAL bad. So I got one. And now I'm very happy and hope that one day I will have a career in the music business. That would make me the happiest person alive!

[GDsInsomniac]

Well, yeah. I was already playing (and sucking) guitar for about a year, but I wasn't really all that interested in it. I couldn't find any good songs that I wanted to play until I started to listen to Green Day. That's all I do anymore.

[PlasticJesus]

I've been playing guitar since I was 8. That's nine years...

I've also been playing bass guitar, trumpet, piano, alto sax, and double bass for a couple years.

I used to play the flute... but I'm trying to forget that. I want to learn drums and mandolin!
