When I heard Longview on the radio in 1994, I didn't have a CD player, so I taped it and was so happy that I had the song!

[adelineidiot]

yeah,their music it isn't sad but live concerts interviews,things like that.thy are punk ,not a drama club

[Ila Reto]

first time i cried must have been December 2005. even though i had only known holiday, i considered myself a pretty big fan, and immediately went on all these fansites to know everyting and anything about them. I felt so damn sorry for billie that when it came on the radio (i only was able to hear green day songs on the radio....ya'll should have seen me hunched over my radio flipping through channels for hours to hear just one song a day!) i'd cry my eyes out.

then after i got american idiot i didn't cry as much.

ooohhh but trust me, i can cry durring freaking basketcase if im in a crying mood.

uh, before i found gdc, as most of you know i was basically a complete wreck. i'd fall asleep to BIAB almost every night, and when good riddance came on i'd end up crying like a baby. haah, actually, good riddance must be the first time i cried with green day because my 5th grade graduation...which was 2003 i think.

wow i type alot.

I think their songs can be that moving, music is a subjective thing. Some people cry more than others, big deal.

I'm not someone who naturally cries unless I'm in a real, upsetting situation, so they wouldn't actually make me cry. But Green Day's songs have moved me more than all the other music I've ever heard put together

I find their songs very moving, too, and although I don't usually cry - sometimes I choke up and/or tear up for a second. Music really affects me emotionally and can completely alter my mood if I listen to the right thing. Green Day seems to have that ability more than most I listen to. I think the lyrics are just so honest and unpretentious but also often deeply meaningful (at least for me). They often seem to express something perfectly that I have felt or am still feeling. And they always seem perfect with whatever they're doing musically for that song.

Example - the first time I heard Minority - it just stuck a hook in my heart and pulled - so amazing for me given my life story. It's not a sad song, but it can always make me feel very emotional (and powerful and contented and energetic and inspired - and connected). Green Day's music is better than alcohol or any drug for me.

because being tough and not crying is so punk...

I cried a lot during the concert I went to, mainly because it was the anniversary of Bill's dad's death, so Wake Me Up was really something special. And they played Disappearing Boy and Minnesota Girl, so I was going crazy with emotions.

Green Day

[GreenDayaremyGods]

I think I may have shed a little tear when Billie started crying during Wake me up when september ends at the concert in CT.

[She-Loves-Him]

I don't think I've ever cried because of them, though there have been occasions where I've been crying and listen to them to make me feel better

[adelineidiot]

agree wit they'r better than alcohol or drugs

''because being tough and not crying is so punk... '' that's what I meaning ,beeing punk don't means you can't have emotions...e.x.:billie's crying in w.m.u.w.s.e.

[Hermione]

Completely agree about the lyrics Janewt, that's exacty how I see them.

When I first got into Green Day, every time I got another album or song, I was just amazed that a band could seem to speak to me like that, I can't express how strange and great it was. I don't think I'd ever really been 'moved' by music before, but there's just something about them. Their songs can reflect and change how I'm feeling, whatever mood I'm in. If any music does ever move me to tears, you can bet it'll be their doing!

Green Day's music is better than alcohol or any drug for me.

Amen to that

[BabsBurnoutGirl]

I can't say I've ever cried with/about Green Day.

[J'net]

... I was just amazed that a band could seem to speak to me like that, I can't express how strange and great it was...

Yeah, that! It's that connection that makes me feel so much when I hear their music (and other music that I love - but Green Day is more consistent about "speaking to me" with almost every song instead of just a few "best" songs).

[woven_basketcase]

I've never cried over GD. o__o

[adelineidiot]

me too!

[Lady Liberty]

I've cried to No One Knows, and possibly Good Riddance once.

[chickin'pickin']

I'll be honest and say that I've cried whilst Good Riddance played, but that was an extremely emotional day for reasons of my own.

[Ila Reto]

i can cry durring any green day song. im serious. i was upset and basket case came on TV and it only made it worse

that must have been a year ago.

on a more recent note, besides what i have previously posted, Whatsername usually gets me crying. the last part mostly starting at "Remember, whatever, it seems like forever ago" to the end. oh boy, haha so many songs, so little patience to post.

[Guest Phoebe.]

Good Riddance makes me cringe, it's so overrated. Nice message, poor all round otherwise.

But I shan't lie, give me novacaine has indeed induced a tear to fall from mine eye.

[adelineidiot]

ehm... I cried too with watsername,after I read ''the meaning of american idiot''in a website

[chickin'pickin']

Had it not been for my circumstances at the time, I would have never cried over a Green Day song.

[Trina]

I think maybe you have a few issues which go beyond Green Day. There songs ain't that moving.

I think maybe You have a few issues which makes you want to be condesending and put people down to make yourself feel better...Pehaps it is because you have a fat bottom?

Who knows?

just kidding but look you cant tell me there songs aint moving...

maybe not to you, but to me yes

they mean alot

[Celes Chere]

Cry with a green day son???

I don't think that's possible!

Funny songs!

[Hermione]

I know they have a lot of humour and wit in them and they sound upbeat, but most Green Day songs have quite dark themes below the surface. If you look at the lyrics they're usually far from happy!

[billiejoe3272]

when time of your life came on at the dublin concert in 2005. i knew then that there were nearly finished and i didnt want them to leave
