The "old" or "new" Green Day ?

[Eighty.]

they can't be old always, bands evolve, Green Day use to play old songs in their shows anyway.

I'd say NEW. their lyrics, music are more impeccable

[Generation Zero]

any Green Day will do, all of their music is great

a band would become boring if they didn't change their sound every once in a while

and the guys changed in a positive way unlike some other bands who really make crappy music nowadays

[Bubbles.]

Old Green Day? New Green Day?

I'll have both, thanks.

[1039slappygirl]

I like both, but if I had to choose just one, I'd say new, just because I love 21st Century Breakdown's lyrics and how Billie Joe's tried singing different styles and including piano and other new rhythms (like Peacemaker's, for example). I think it's good they've evolved and kept changing and trying stuff

[Lu_S]

Personally I prefer the "new". Was through 21stCB I discovered Green Day and I'm a little bit in love with the songs of the album.

But I think Green Day has the gift of making amazing albums! Whether it's a rock opera or punk simple and rustic! They know what they do!

[keefe]

Green Day is Green Day to me, love them no matter what they do!

[Mar]

I hate this "old" and "new categorization, because I think they've been great throughout. However, I think that in this last decade, the guys themselves have become more comfortable in their own skins and have really become amazing musicians (not that they weren't before, but now they're EPIC).

[cabot_girl]

I miss the old days....or I miss Green Day not sounding so clean, not so polished for the masses. Because that's what I believe has happened these last years.

Musically they are the best live musicians I've ever heard, why destroy that when they make an album? That's why I would love them to choose a producer who could make them sound more like they do "live". I wish Tim Armstrong could produce their album.

And for all of you who doesn't like this thread, no one is forcing you to read and reply. I wish this forum could be open for everyone, without being harrased...it's relevant to discuss and talk about this topic for some fans.

For me there is not such a thing like an 'old' and a 'new' Green Day.

It's still the one Green Day we love and thats it.

[LinziLetterbomb]

"Old" or "New"....doesn't make a difference.I just love Green Day

[iLozza!]

I love both equally. Always have, reckon I always will. They've been great the whole time they've been playing, and that's what I like about them.

[xpoprocks&kittycatsx]

both, I can't decide. I love 21st Century Breakdown but I also love 1039/SOSH and kerplunk.

Most of the time he does dude.

Are you unfamiliar with Jason White?

Billie Joe writes all the solos on the album. Jason just plays them live.

I also love the "old" AND the "new " Green Day but I also think that you can't really compare them cause they're just different

(but great )

Yup, there's so many good songs to both the "new" and "old" Green Day that you just have to love it all!!!

[Ally]

i love both old and new, both have completely different sounds, so you never get bored

[Michael128]

Old

[Smbcf]

Green Day are just Green Day to me, bands evolve, people grow up/get older and music styles are bound to change but I don't classify anything as old or new. I just love every era of Green Day

[Just Kate]

best old song: Having a Blast and Emenius Sleepus

best new song: Before The Lobotomy and American Eulogy

it's hard to compare so i won't, just will enjoy both

[Katarina.]

I don't think about 'old' or 'new' Green Day music. I see it as Green Day, and I love every song they wrote/made.

[Billie Kristy]

To me there is nu such thing as a new and an old. To me they're just Green Day. And that's awesomeness in general.

There are a lot of people fighting out there about the 'old' and 'new' Green Day. But is that really necessary? I mean, ofcourse their style and their sound changed a lot. But they didn't just change, they changed for a reason. 'Cause they felt like. 'They didn't just woke up one day and said to each other; 'Let's change our sound and do something completely different'

Nope, they just grew up, and tried new things. Nothing wrong with that right? (:

Btw I'm not trying to said like a smartass here, but this is just how I see it.

old

[Reep]

Personally, I think they were at their best between insomniac and warning.

[Izzard]

I love it all. My green day playlist is all mixed between old and new, so when Green Day's playing I get a really good variety.

[GreenDayisAmazing]

I love it all!!! I listen more to their old stuff though. I think it's all amazing!!!
