Jewels! Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I was on aol music, and I remembered my dad played Holiday on his computer. I must have watched the Holiday video 50 times that day. That was actually what really got me into rock in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redundantle Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I was over at my friend's house one day, and she put in a CD and turned it to number 18. I heard the line "I wanna be the minority" and I instantly fell in love. I asked her what band the song was by, and she replied, "Green Day." Even though that was in the American Idiot-era I heard that. I'm a new Green Day fan, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifmemoryserves Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 sparked my interest to find out morehaha. I just thought that was kind of cool.A LONG time ago I got this mix CD that had like 5 songs off of Dookie. I thought they were cool, but didn't really get into it much. Then my friend was sort of obsessed with International Superhits, so that got me into them more. And then randomly, my mom started talking about going to some Green Day concert, and my dad had Dookie (I stole it from him) so I listened to it and it was awesome, so then I checked the rest of their music out, bought American Idiot, and eventually everything else.

localinsomniac Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 dont you mean 96'Why would I mean '96? The song is called '86', and I first heard it in 1995, about a month after it came out. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I'd heard of Dookie. My uncle had the cases for that and Insomniac on his CD shelf, so naturally I went for Dookie first and the case was empty. Fine, no big deal. Put the Insomniac disc in his computer, picked track #7 because I like the number, and away we went. Twelve years later, '86' is still one of my favorite jams.That is a fantastic song. One of my fave GD songs, or actually fave songs period. Great way to get into GD that's for sure!

I'm totally a sucker for a fairly simple, yet complementary bassline. Mike Dirnt's best work was on that album, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In-Turn Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 The first person in my family to take an interest in Green Day was my younger sister, who was eight when she bought American Idiot. I was eleven at the time, and after hearing AI, and their other records, I followed suit and became a fan, too. The song that really made me a fan was 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'. {Which I actually thought was about 9/11 back then! } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
