I've been wondering why other punk bands like NOFX, offspring, Weezer, rancid etc aren't commercially successful as green day .. is it because they're aren't sellouts ?

The Offspring were really successful til Splinter. You‘re gonna go far, was probably something like their last hit or known for non-fans. But yeah, they released 2 albums in 10 years. Their latest wasn‘t really good but not bad at the same time. The production of the record was kinda shit 😂

Weezer isn‘t really big anymore. I like them but sometimes it‘s more quantity than quality. But wouldn‘t call them a punkband. 

Personally I can‘t understand why Zebrahead didn‘t really got their attention. They had some hits in the 2000‘s and MFZB had a perfect timing for its release during Nu Metal. They‘re still well known in Japan, England and Germany. 
 

I think Green Day is probably different than all these bands and every album has a different sound. A lot of bands outside of their genres like their music and pointing out they sound different than any other Punkrock Band. Plus lyrically they set a high standard with AI and 21stCB comparing to a lot of bands

TOTALLY unrelated but I saw this the other day.

I wonder what the significance is in this case? Jade, the guitarist was born in '73.

I’m confused as to what you’re saying. What are you pointing out on their IG page?

I think the reason Green Day is a standout is due to BIllie Joe's songwriting capabilities.  I really think he is one of the best in our time.  And he is able to step out of genres and/or mix and elevate sounds when he is at his best.

I have this strange feeling that Album 14 will have the same vibe as AI and 21stcbd..

Oh boy i can't wait any longer..

When the new single comes out I'll be sure to enjoy it along with a dozen of beer

Call me a little boy named booze but I'm ready to get wasted while listening to a new green day album

Again: I am hoping for at least 14 songs, a minimum length of 45 minutes, sound of AI or 21CBD or heavier and a relaxed and fresh band!

Exactly. Green Day is successful and the best because of Billie Joe’s songwriting and Green Day as a great band in general. They are so ahead and beyond any of their contemporaries. It’s not worth comparing them to others regardless of that outdated “sellout” label. It’s an inconsequential non-existing argument or point. It’s pointless. Green Day stands alone because they’re in a different class.

Really thought we were gonna get an announcement this past week. With somebody mentioning that Mike and tre are out of town on vacation, then perhaps we won’t hear anything til early May?

I’d love a raw Insomniac vibe/sound to the new record

I don't think it has anything to do with Green Day's next album, but I'd love it if AFI opened for them again when they tour on it.

[Macys]

Little boy named train has already said it will be announced until July.  

[notonst]

the release date of the album is september 22.

Sure! American Idiot part 2 confirmed.

For some reason I can’t just like your post @Virginia Lot Lizard but I completely agree with you and @Biddymc

[Flashback]

"Selling out" means that a band changes its style to attract more people. But Green Day didn't do that. They never did. They have their style and eventually it became commercially successful. This has nothing to do with selling out.

It definitely doesn't have anything to do with GD, I just thought it was interesting/strange. AFI were great as the opener in 2010, would love to see them together again.

Were any AFI band members born in 1972?

75, 76 and 73.  I have been looking at a ton of birthyears for musicians.  Always be on the lookout for those the 72 gang. 

Personally I was born when there was Springsteen, Blondie and music still on MTV.  😉

Do they have to be in town to announce something?

[þjáningu]

I was surfing around discord and saw a track list with a font with a design and idk song titles sound good at least a couple of ones. Idk how to post pics here sorry but it’s on discord. More probably fake of course
