ShesARebel723 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 As weird as it may sound...I found a CD just lying around the house that had 2 songs by Green Day on it (Good Riddance [Time of Your Life] and When I Come Around) and I listened to them and I loved them. I went to iTunes and downloaded 2 more CDs and then I found American Idiot. The animosity they show towards "President" Bush is pretty much what reeled me in..x].
redundantle Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 ^^ Do your parents deside what kind of music your alloved to like?? :/ When I got into Green Day, my mom did'nt really care... It's music, and i'm not that obsessed that I would do everything that other people do, so i don't see why she should care... But, hey. that's me.. ;P*But good that you don't think what your parents think though! Kinda... My mom thinks I'm begin "rebellious." Okay, that may be part of it two, but it's also "not just a phase."
GoodOrEvil Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I think when I was 5 or 6 I heard Good Riddance. Didn't know who sung it or what it was called, but I loved the song (even though I hardly ever heard it). Probably planted some sort of seed in me, then about 2 years ago (I wasn't into music then. My sister tried but she used the stuff I now hate) I walked into the lounge room. TV was on Channel [V] (music channel here in Australia) and I heard Boulevard Of Broken Dreams. I just remember going, "This is really good. I should look into them." My brother had Nimrod and International Superhits. I listened to them and was instantly hooked.
Hizz10n Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Long story, i got my self into them...a Norwegian Idol artist had basket case on his cd, i totally fell in love with the song...i found out that it wasen't his song, but some band called Green Day, supposedly very big in the 90s.i heard the original, and i thought "wow, these guys are good!"then a year later i heard American Idiot, and i remembered them, i thought the song was cool.i heard holiday, i liked it, BOBD made me a fan, WMUWSE made me love them...then i got BIAB, and i bacame completley obsessed, and i got all of their albums...

JunkiexHeart Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 My mam.I remember her and my brother having Kerplunk and Dookie on cassette bloody years ago.
Camila =) Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 How nice it was the first time I listened to them. Happy day!I was with some friends from Sunday school. One of them had this walkman (How old) and lent me for a while. When I started listening to it, Basket case had been played on the radio.It happend 13 years ago. The following year, I bought Dookie.The year it came out in Brasil.My dookie is now 12 years old.
Tré Coooool Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 First i saw blvrd on tv than my friend told me all of them and i started to love these guys and their music!

GDOBSSOR Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I heard american idiot and I thought it was pretty good. Then I heard boulevard of broken dreams and being the smart arse that I am, I assumed it was by Nickelback. Then the guy on da radio sed it was by Green Day. Then I heard Basketcase by GREEN DAY (the first time I heard it was by Avril Lavigne) and Walking Contradiction and then by that time I was HOOKED!!
The_Kid_Of_Rage_And_Love Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Oops sry, Andres said he wanted less crappy threads so I wanted to make one actually related to GD. At first I didn't like GD because they were in a battle of the bands thing on the radio against my fav band at the time. Well GD won by a lot so I held a grudge against them for a while. Finally I realized I liked their music, and, well, I became OBSESSED!!! interesting... I just heard them, and so I like them me too.. & now i'm obsessed!
The_Kid_Of_Rage_And_Love Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 the radio, at first. THen their concert hooked me and made me wish to marry BJA. lol...it's the same with me..
Yussef Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 my pet told me about them. he has magic powers and can talk and enjoy good music.my pet is a piggy.

Tight Wad Hill Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 I didn't get into them till Wake Me Up came out, but before then I kinda liked their American Idiot stuff. That was WAY back when I was teenie-ish. Eurgh. Haha. I kinda got into them at the wrong time ago, because I didn't actually start liking them till last year... :/
elle72 Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 when i was around 12 my friends older brother played me one for the razorbacks. i was hooked. this was right after dookie came out i guess cause then i started seeing them all over mtv and stuff. it was funny cause all my friends loved tlc and boys to men or country music and i was a green day geek. kerplunk is actually the first album i ever bought with my own money. a few years later when i was 16 and he was 19 we dated for a while. he was my first serious boyfriend...lame.
plato's_rebel Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 My younger brother, he's 13. (thank you tom!) Yeah he was listening to it, after his friend got into them.I heard it and was like "Wow" and then borrowed the album, bought it myself a while later along with all the other albums (apart from kerplunk! )
katinka Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 My friend got into them. eventually I did too.. It took awhile. I have this weird habit of not liking things at first, then ending up loving it. It's really stupid and annoying
