JIGD13 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sometime ago for there readers Green Day was the 2nd best live show, and for the magazine they were the best show of the year, but 48? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Rotten Bastard Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't think these lists are entirely based upon actual factual detail, a lot of other factors go into them. Green Day are one of the best live bands there are out there. They are phenomenal live. #48 is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That list is one big joke. Skrillex, Jay Z, Mumford & Sons, Kayne,... and artists I've never heard of are ranked higher than GD wtf I don't know man, his dancing was pretty groovy And his mangina was a big highlight. DON'T FORGET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Whoever wrote that article clearly hasn't been to a Green Day show let alone a lot of those shows. All Skrillex has under his belt is a computer having slow, strenuous sex while he abuses internet memes to masturbate his unwashed hair since 2009. Seriously, Green Day could at least be in the top 40, hell even 30. You're not going to get a lot of shows like Green Day, especially on fan interaction. Can we also remember this is the same magazine that listed Skrillex as a guitarist eventhough he has not touched the damn thing since he left From First To Last?

Red Lights Flash Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Oh so they're slightly better than Taylor Swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That low? Also, Green Day has basically abandoned pyro, confetti, etc. I question if the author has seen any 99 Revs tour shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookieLukie Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 That low? Also, Green Day has basically abandoned pyro, confetti, etc. I question if the author has seen any 99 Revs tour shows. Meaning if he did see a 99 Rev show, he'd rank it lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Meaning if he did see a 99 Rev show, he'd rank it lower? Considering that he has Springsteen, who's used pyro about twice in his life, and Neil freaking Young both in the top five, I think it might actually bump them up. For what it's worth, I appreciate a band that believes enough in their music and personalities to forego large explosions and let the songs carry the evening.
