facE Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Love: their music and trying to help out a bit.Hate: Well, i dont know. I miss the old Green Day really. I miss the whole rioting, mudd slinging, mowkawkmotherfucker kicking, just because we can, kind of Green Day. Theyve honestly turned into what they would have hated 10 years ago. The promised they wouldnt turn that way. I guess im just pissed off at them for breaking their goddamn promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanessa Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 What's the T in the park thing?-Feels stupid.-Anyway.Impressed: How musically talented they are of course, adn the fact they stand up for what they think is right.Pissed off: I don't know.. I kind of wish they were a little more immature, like they used to be.Although I'm not really sure that pisses me off. It's more of a slightly minor dissapointment.

netty Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 the BBC advertised the band as performing live from T but just before they hit the stage, they had to announce that is wasnt going to be broadcast. the band had never agreed to it and didnt know that the BBC had been saying that they had. very angry, confused emails were sent all over after that one! impressed - still love the music. pissed off - castle green day needs to let the drawbridge down a wee bit more. the idiot club has been a let down to a lot of people. including me.

mechanicalman Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 What's the T in the park thing?-Feels stupid.-They wouldn't let the BBC show footage of their performance at T a few years ago, coz of BIAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneygirl Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Impressed: Their music and the way they still seem quite down to earth despite superstardom.Pissed off: (Not their fault though) Now they are playing massive stadiums with hundreds of thousands of people. I would like to see them play more gigs in smaller venues - kind of more personal.ok, slight exaggeration with the hundreds of thousands, but certainly tens of thousands.

HoneyDo666 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 They've never done anything to piss me off. They should be creative in as many ways as possible. And I like U2, the Saintas are Coming rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Green Day never pissed me off.Last thing, I think it was the last Adeline Photo Shoot. Because, the Saints Are Coming single was before the photo. But sincerely, I love everything green day do.Some fans, a lot of fans that are here in the GDC, pissed me off with their commentsi agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJangles Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I'm impressed with the NRDC thing, Green Day have always made people sit up and listen, and this is sort of taking that to the next level.I'm pissed that they teamed up with U2. U2 of all bands. Blecch. If they had joined with The Living End or some other half decent band I might have been impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XbernieX Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Like: Their music and personalities and that they're still down to earthPissed off: For paying 20$ to be a member of the "Idiot Club" and promoting a bit too much for Adeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcause Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hmm, 'some people who think BJ is god' - lol, guilty as charged, here!Last thing they did that impressed me: The whole Superdome thing - from Abbey Road to the performance, the emotion, the song, and what it did to lift people's spirits in NO.What they did that pissed me off - nothing, really. They're artists and I love their music, that's the deal as far as I'm concerned. Ok, when I see the entire Armstrong clan tricked out in Adeline like human billboards, I raise my eyebrow somewhat because I find it a little tacky, but then I think of the fact that it's a local industry in Oakland as well as Mrs A's career, and that they have every right to be proud of it and represent it as they see fit. So, 'sometimes tacky' is the best I can raise, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 The good things are:they're supporting econess (don't say that they're just doing it for publicity - they've supported Green Peace for years), that new Adeline shoot (not shooting Adeline) was nice, them raising money with U2 was good. But the thing that is pissing me off is his goddamn hair!! I want to shave it all off, grr. But I'm just bitter because I loved his dreads and I know they're never coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Megan* Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Impressed me: The whole American Idiot album impressed me. They grew up and made something that has more to it than boredom and wanking.Pissed me off: Working with the biggest dickhead in Rock, AKA Bono. But, I love The Edge.

Guest 16PaperLanterns Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 impressed: using fame to help environmentpissed: using fame to help environmenti mean, it's good that they're helping the environment, it really is, but it's also kind of getting annoying. probably because of the timing. first they play with U2, then they become U2.

Marc. Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 what pissed me off was merchandising the fuck out of american idiot also they could've used a song of U2's or Green Days instead of doing a cover of the saints are coming and also to me personally i think they ripped motley crue with that too because they did something similar before it with hurricane Katrina footage and allimpressed not quite sure on that ill get back to you on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 To be honest, they've never done anything to directly pissed me off.It's not their fault people are still holding onto the American Idiot era.Impressed: Respect. Simply that they use their 'powers for good instead of evil'. Cliche, whatever. I mean that they're taking the influence they have now and doing something with it, because they could just complain all they wanted to and do absolutely nothing about it.. but they choose to take a stand.

Swing&Destroy Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Impressed: The American Idiot tour (I found Brighton Centre better than Milton Keynes though.. smaller venue!), the Musing Rising effort & NRDC.Irritated: The Paris show they cancelled, the dragging the whole process of this new album out.

netty Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 impressed - that they can manage to keep their cool no doubt knowing the kind of things that are said about them, their families, and the mis-conceptions and half truths that are spread about them. pssied off - that the fans bug me way more than the band do.but then its three against... how many fans?

S.cattered Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 im actually kind of impressed that there teaming up with NRDC. i think there kind of pushing the point of the AI album to the next step. before they were just saying they didnt like bush and lots of people said they just did it to join the crowd, now they are doing what most bands dont and thats actually doing something about it and trying to get other people involved. One thing that pisses me off is not what theyve done yet, but are planning on doing...making a movie. i dont really want a movie. it almost seems like theyre trying too hard to be on the cover of every magazine and on every television screen.I agree with you impressed part but I don't think Green Day are trying to be on the front of every magazine I think it just happens that way magazine's are just like that.The thing that pissed me off was....umm dammit now I've forgotten....Oh yeh when I found out that they were The Network it just didn't make sence to me I'm like wtf? why bother? but now meh. I don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
