The "old" or "new" Green Day ?

I dont really call their albums "old Green Day" or "new Green Day."

every album is a new era, and each era has a certain amount of success and impact attached to it.

it just so happens that American Idiot was released at the right moment in time and it grabbed a bunch of success and turned a lot of heads. But that shouldn't be defined as "new Green Day."

Other people are saying that the whole eyeliner thing defines "new" Green Day. That's just a new look. Havent people noticed all the hair color changes, and hair styles changes throughout the past 17 years?

If Green Day stuck with the same exact look for every single album, it would be boring. Thats one of the reasons why I love Green Day so much, because every album has a new sound, look, and feel.

And people are all like, "yeah but its not like Dookie and now they suck" um well, Dookie was pretty big at the time. Just like American Idiot, except they all smelled like ass and had crayola colored hair. And if thats what you miss, then you need to get over it. They are adults and parents now. They have to be a musician, but also a responsbile father to their children. They're not gonna go around with blue hair and greasy shirts with a joint in their hands. Times have changed. They have gotten older and wiser. Don't hate them because they have a new sound and look, just be glad their still around, making amazing music and still kicking ass.

sorry that was a lot

new Green Day isn't too bad, but I'd rather listen to their older stuff

Posted

is that really matters?..

i mean.. old or new?

it's good NOW right? it WAS good too right?

so just shut up and be happy for it

:pinch:

It's all good. Though I do prefer Dookie over AI.... and Nimrod over AI.

Posted

umm..... AI isn't as good as their past albums and they do run the risk of being called commercial now days but...... Jesus Of Suburbia is one of the best songs of the last decade so..... oohhhh i dunno really but i do miss the immaturity of the old green day :blush:

I agree. Can't we just accept that although the sound has changed it's still good, and get over it?

AI is up against 8 other albums...NOT FAIR!

well, i like the old stuff...but i like it all.

Posted

^ you have a point

its american idiot against 1039 SOSH, Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrond, Warning, and Shenanigans

mabe we should wait for more before we judge the "new Green Day"

its all Green Day to me...

This is probably the only place and time I'll share my oppinions on this subject....

Well, no matter how they have changed over the years, they are still a great band. All that should matter is the music, not appearence. Everytime I hear someone say they only like old Green Day, then they are not a true Green Day fan. Sure, preps may be listening to this band, but isn't that a good thing? They are expanding their audience and I am proud of them for that. Everyday I am proud of them for leaving that "shadow of dookie", even though I personally think it is one of the best albums ever. That's all I have to say about that.

...wouldn't it get boring if they never changed?

very nice :thumbsup:

i wasnt a fan back when dookie cam out but i think nimrod, dookie, and insomniac are all different too.

and each cd has had a chance to be the "new green day" and when dookie came out, it was obviously newer than kerplunk!. were people like this about dookie too? and now say they love it because there is a new green day to hate...

as long as it's green day i don't care.

^ I like your sig, did you make it?

I like both old and new Green Day. is there really such a thing?

I like how each album is totally different from the rest. It's a new chapter to the Green Day life.
