i miss it. i dont even care that theyre popular. i just am really hating this half-attemp to be emo or something. liek the whole heart grenade thing, and the eyeliner, and the buisiness suits or whatever. their look annoys me, and wake me up annoys me. other than that, theyre still cool. sure, immature was better, but it happens to everyone.

All I have to say is that people mature with age. Green Day was awesome back when they first came out, but they don't want to do the same shit they did when they were like 22/23 now that they are in their 30s. I will love them and stick by them no matter what they do.

Me too!

OMG BUT BILLY IS SO HOTTT.

No, seriously. I love the new Green Day, the older one was great, but as FashionVictim86 stated, people mature, see things in diffrent ways, and take things more serious. As like just about everyone on here.

But if you see how they behave, they don't ACT "emo" at all. They're still themselves and have a sense of humor, and even though they're really passionate and serious about this album, you can tell it's genuine. You're judging them on a completely superficial level.

I think the 'superficial' stuff like make-up can actually be quite significant, because it's their 'come-back' image and it was like them signalling the new direction they were taking with their music.

It's pretty theatrical, and so is AI - the album is a saga, and the stage-show followed a format, much more so than in the past where how the show developed depended on the chemistry with a particular audience.

AI has its beginning , middle and end, you can't shuffle it.

Now that era is coming to an end, and there's the famous hair-cut and the more dressed-down look, I think there'll be maybe a more gritty edge to the next thing they do.

Down thru the years, Billie Joe has always had very particular looks - not high-fashion, but low-key stuff that did get copied . For them to leap to the Dior Punk thing was a definite message of intent and defiance - and it has to be said that Billie looked like he was having the time of his life with it, like it was expressing that whole side of himself that was maybe held back under the rigidness of the punk ethos.

'Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't meant for only girls' - old Green Day were distinctly lacking in the sugar and spice department!

At 34 years old, the boy should get to be a princess before his princess days are over! :wub:

I love the old Green Day cos the songs were alot less serious, more about just having a good time outta life and i like the kinda bratty attitude, but i also like the new Green Day, the look better than ever, the music is much more mature, but that is waht people should expect now that they're in their thrities.

Wouldn't people start getting a bit grossed out if there were thirty year olds singing about masturbation. Also because the subject mater of the songs has changed quite a bit, they do now have a more mainstream audience cos everyone all over the world is all riled up over the war and need a voice, which Green Day is supplying, amd less talk about masturbation means more about more mainstream topics like heatache and all that stuff

Haha, word. I bet he could fit in a size 4, too. I really, really hope they stop with the makeup before they get all wrinkly though. Old men in eyeliner scare me.

ME TOO!

i was listening to kerplunk the other day and i just wish they were like that again :happy:

but they have kids and in their 30's so we all know thats never gonna happen :laugh:

Imagine if your life was on display and you had fans, and people would always say "Man, 13 year old ___ was so much better than 19 year old ____." It's like, this is their LIVES. Of course they're going to change.

well this is a new argument...

Keith Richards springs to mind. I think it works if you look like a debauched old libertine. With an angel face and a taste for the suicidal - hmm, maybe. :thumbsup:

Hey, how about 'Old men in make-up' as a new topic?! Lmfao!

Posted

How about...not? :thumbsup:
