Jet Taman Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Interesting little article. I like how Forbes magazine runs articles about the biggest "punk" (loosely used) band in the world and the biggest "metal" band in the world. 20 years ago they wouldn't give these guys the time of day. Man, I wish these guys would go out on tour together. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ruthblatt/2014/10/13/what-green-day-and-metallica-teach-us-about-difficult-conversations/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 "they had made three poorly received albums and were barely on speaking terms with each other" Interesting read about Metallica though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Man, I wish these guys would go out on tour together. Since both bands are now essentially stadium rock bands that pay musical lip service to their groundbreaking origins, on paper this seems like a good idea. In reality, the vast majority of Metaillica fans are elitist cunts who hate Green Day because they're not technical enough (whilst worshipping Lars Ulrich), and most Green Day fans have about as much appreciation for metal as Justin Bieber. I like Metallica. I like Green Day. But it'd be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Metallica and Green Day have fans middle aged (like myself) and middle school aged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 "and made polished versions of three-chord punk songs..." I see no lies. What's set Green Day apart from the pop punk scene in general is that they tend to use four chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaïs. Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You do? I go along with this joke because it's funny, but let's be honest, he only really ever criticizes the Trilogy, which is no more than the rest of us. Sure he thinks Billie's an arse, but who doesn't?

Lots of people say they regret stupid statements they made if those statements become public. Doesn't necessarily mean a damn thing (and in fact usually doesn't).

Beerjeezus Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm willing to believe he actually regretted since he brought it up himself in that interview. But it doesn't change a thing on the statement being one of the cuntiest things I heard On the other hand, it doesn't make him a bad person in general. A lot of us have said terrible things.

That Dude Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think that Green Day and Metallica could potentially make a great song together. And they aren't completely unrelated. Remember when Green Day covered Hybrid Moments for Metallica's birthday? They could meld their styles together: Green Day but with a metal edge. Billie Joe and Mike singing the verses, with James, Captain Kirk and Robert joining in on the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
