Todd Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Why are you so obsessed with Kiffemeyer? Tré was always a far superior drummer. John had very little going for him except for a few fills, which Tré probably taught him. Why do you think Tre taught John anything? Tre was drummer after John, and John was in the band Isocracy too, which has close ties to other sweet Eat Bay bands Crimpshrine, Fifteen, Operation Ivy, and a bunch of other great bands. Why do you have to talk him down like he's shit? You know as much about John as I know about your "almighty Biffy". I don't make a big deal out of you liking him, so don't go prying into my concerns man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was in Isocracy, their stuff is nothing special either. It just strikes me as a very odd obsession is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Pretty cringeworthy that it's inaccurately getting called a Green Day side project just to get people's attention/pull the punters in. ^This^ is a punter (Oscar-worthy performance there, btw). What are you Brits referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 ^This^ is a punter (Oscar-worthy performance there, btw). What are you Brits referring to? When people attend horse/dog races or whatever they would often put a bet on, which was also referred to as a punt. As time went on the term punter became a common term for anyone who attended a race, and then it simply expanded to any and all sporting events.

Tre was in the Lookouts since 1986 or so, and Isocracy started in 86, it'd be weird to have a 14 year old teach a 17 year old how to play drums I don't think I've heard that one, but logic tells me no. And I like my obsession, it separartes me from the thousands obsessed with Billie, Mike, or Tre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about in Ireland but in Britain it's expanded further than that to just mean "customer" as well, in this case people buying tickets to a show.

Iain Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 This is not a Green Day side project. It's a Jason White side project, just like The Frustrators is a Mike Dirnt side project and PHGP is a Billie Joe Armstrong side project. /rant Unsure if angry or trolling, but not merit to act as much.

Not angry or trolling, just offering a well-merited correction after seeing this billed as a Green Day side project several times here and on other social media forums! That's why they were sly bastards and tried to pass off the band as a mere Chino Horde/The Moons collaboration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people are complaining about this, it should be about the music. Because if it was just about the music venues/articles etc wouldn't call it a Green Day side project when it clearly has nothing to do with Green Day, isn't an accurate or natural way to describe this band, and is only done to get people's attention and try to sell tickets. If it was any other member of Green Day they'd just say their name or at least, "Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day's new project", the only reason to call it a Green Day side project and then quietly mention Jason White later instead of just calling it Jason White's new project is to deceive. The band themselves aren't tackily using Green Day's name so to see others doing it is lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonflower93 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I personally think that, if 3/4 of Green Day or even 1/2 of GD was in it then it technically would be a Green Day side project. Since it is Jason's band, it should be mentioned as JW's band. It's almost like Jason and The Big Cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
