cabot gal Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 It was a joke. If Green Day did read the boards I don't think they would be looking for fans who agreed with them to take backstage.No one said they would.
Lauren Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 oh yeah, i don't know who axl rose is because i'm only 16 right?yeah! 16 year olds aren't supposed to know ANYTHING!*rolls eyes*That and you didn't spell his name properly.neither did you in your screen name...
Michelle7107 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 That and you didn't spell his name properly. lol @ u for thinking you're better than me because you're older
farley drexel hatcher Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I doubt you even know who Axl Rose is and of course Green Day care what the fans think.See that's the point everyone is trying to make here. You're jumping to conclusions based on someone's age, its not right.
Lauren Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 It was a joke. If Green Day did read the boards I don't think they would be looking for fans who agreed with them to take backstage.How is that joking? How is that even funny?Do you think that just because I'm a 15 year old girl, that I worship Green Day?It was a joke.

W Axl Rose Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 yeah! 16 year olds aren't supposed to know ANYTHING!*rolls eyes*neither did you in your screen name...It isn't? Enlighten me please.See that's the point everyone is trying to make here. You're jumping to conclusions based on someone's age, its not right.I really don't care if she knows who Axl Rose is or not. I have made several points that are not up for debate. Especially that Green Day is a business and it is my right as a paying customer to complain/discuss the set list.
Lauren Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 It isn't? Enlighten me please.She said "Axl Rose". You said she was wrong. So therefore, you must be wrong, too.
rymenocerous Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I applaud you for expressing your opinion. its great. but there is a point where you move from expressing your opinion to preaching to other people and oppressing their opinions.
W Axl Rose Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 She said "Axl Rose". You said she was wrong. So therefore, you must be wrong, too.No she said 'Axel Rose" If you wanna get technical his whole name is W Axl Rose. As I said if you don't care what they play, great.

Especially that Green Day is a business and it is my right as a paying customer to complain/discuss the set list.Green Day is NOT a business.Green Day is NOT a product.They are a band who loves playing music, and just so happens to play infront of people because those people like hearing them.If you buy an iPod, and it crashes a lot, sure you can complain. That's because you're EXPECTING it to work.You can pretty much EXPECT what Green Day's setlist is going to be.Therefore, you know ahead of time.So if you don't like it, you don't buy tickets, and you don't go.
W Axl Rose Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 I applaud you for expressing your opinion. its great. but there is a point where you move from expressing your opinion to preaching to other people and oppressing their opinions.My only complaint is being told to Fuck Off by an Admin for expressing a difference of opinion. Nobody is preaching, if you like the set, great,if not that is great too.
blitzkriegdeb Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'm fairly sure the argument isn't about Axl Rose or how to spell his name or whatever.
netty Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Are you sure?'cause I'm PRETTY sure Billie Joe WOULD tell you to fuck off.and I`m pretty sure he would find all this highly amusing a just and wee bit disturbing that fans can be so convinced of how he would react to any given situation.
Boston Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 They won't completely drop them - I think one or two really old songs will be played. Its what the fans want.
Lauren Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 My only complaint is being told to Fuck Off by an Admin for expressing a difference of opinion. Nobody is preaching, if you like the set, great,if not that is great too.He told you that because this is a Green Day FAN forum.If all you're going to do is complain about them, then don't bother posting here!Why would you complain about a band that you LIKE?
blitzkriegdeb Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I'm sure they'll intertwine old songs with new songs like they did with the AI tour.

Are their shows free? Is their music free? How about their merch? It is their JOB to make money for themselves, Warner Brothers, Management etc.He told you that because this is a Green Day FAN forum.If all you're going to do is complain about them, then don't bother posting here!Why would you complain about a band that you LIKE?The same reason I complain about my favorite band besides Green Day, GN'R. I don't have to support EVERYTHING they do.As an indirect representative of the band, he really shouldn't tell people to fuck off over a difference of opinion. If I came here spamming the forums saying Fuck Green Day, then by all means ban me. I am here however to discuss Green Day, all things good and bad.

blitzkriegdeb Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 This argument is really going nowhere... :down:

W Axl Rose Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 excuse me... but I love green day. but they bug the living crap out of me as well! is this the green day arse kissers forum or a place for fans with differing opinions?I can love somebody and still get pissed off over things they do. this maybe a "fan" site... meaning fanatic... but it doesnt have to mean I cant see see their failings or talk about them.This! I had the same experience on a GNR fan forum. At one time it was the biggest GNR site til the guy running it decided only pro-Axl people could post there. I love Green Day and I always will. To say that I can't complain or criticize things they do is rediculous.You have people that are such fanatics of band that a member could be pissing down their back, tell them it is raining and they would believe it.

I may cut down on ther number of shows I see though. Something tells me Green Day will still rake in millions.
cabot gal Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 At the end of the day, the songs belong to Green Day. They play what they wanna play, when they wanna play it.Some people have yet to see them, you have. Be thankful you've seen the songs you have seen live.
farley drexel hatcher Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I don't think this is getting anywhere, as someone said earlier. I don't see a problem with stating your opinion on anything, setlists included, but when others try to state theirs (that might be the opposit of yours) don't assume they can't give a valid opinion because of their age. It's that which ruined this thread, the thread starter's attitude to younger people, who, no offence, most of which hold a better and more decent conversation anyway. I'm going to close this for now, if another mod thinks it can be reopened later then go ahead.
