Supermodel*Robot Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm pretty sure it was at my brother's grade 7 graduation in '97. Good Riddance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura! Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 First time that I can remember was on the radio with Good Riddance and I didn't even know it was Green Day at the time. But first time I heard them and got into them was in the backseat of my friends car and they had BOBD on a mix CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayish Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The first real time was watching the American Idiot video on the same computer I'm on now.I thought they were the coolest guys I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae'n'shine Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I was 4 when When I Come Around came out with a video. I remember hearing the song when my mom was watching MTV , and she liked it. Her favorite song was Longview at the time and when it came on, she usually blasted it. But, I heard When I Come Around first for some reason...Anyway, when I got older and knew who Green Day was I heard When I Come Around again, and it became my favorite song. I listened to it all the time after American Idiot came out. Now, it is one of my favorite GD songs of all time. Every time I hear this song, my ears perk up and I feel like everything is right in the world...even if it's just for a little under 3 minutes.

bjrules Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The first song was When I Come Around one day when I was about 4 in the car with mum, and I was like "I like that song!" but I didn't know it was Green Day back then.The first time I heard them and knew it was them was American Idiot at a birthday party in March '05 and I was instantly hooked. I've loved them ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Puffball Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It was sometime during the summer. I was at my cousin's house and we were hanging out in her bedroom and she put in American Idiot. She played Holiday, that was the first song I'd ever heard by them, and I've loved them ever since.

Hermione Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I don't remember, but I know it must've been watching MTV round my best friend's house at some point after Basket Case came out when I was about 8 or 9. Until I got into Green Day with American Idiot, Basket Case was the only Green Day video I'd seen. Even though I never took further interest in the band I liked the song. But the strongest memory of it I have is is being transfixed by Billie Joe in the video . I'd randomly see the video on some music channel once every few years, and every time I could never stop looking at his interesting face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forget_me_nots Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well, I've loved Good Riddance as long as I can remember, but I wont count that cuz I didnt know it was Green Day. I first heard them when my cousin played me the video for Holiday. I was at my grandma's house in the basement when I heard my first Green Day song, then.

Mar Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 "Good Riddance", but I couldn't tell you when. I don't know why, but I always connect that song to TGIF on ABC...I'm wondering if it was featured in an episode of one of the shows that was on that programming block around '97-'98, or a promo. So I think that might have been the first time I remember actually recognizing the song, but I was pretty neutral about it.However, I remember seeing the "American Idiot" video on VH1 and a VH1 News segment (I think it was about the Letterman appearance with the Bush masks) about the guys one morning sophomore year before school, and I fell in love with the song immediately. I remember telling my dad, who was sitting in the room with me, how much I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minorityxdisturbed Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I was on the living room watching the TV and Holiday appeared, I was scary of them becouse they were so dark and they were doing strange things Then I saw Minority and I fell in love with the lyrics and the song. I was 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanJeanie Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 14, enjoying having a free 15 minutes before the bus came by turning my Franz Ferdinand CD back to my favorite song when I heard the begining of American Idiot on VH1. The video sucked me in so much that I turned my beloved Ferdinand off completely and had my life changed forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 In my room, at my deks, doing homework and listening to the radio. A year and 26 days ago.And then I heard WMUWSE. :wub: :wub: Well, maybe I heard a song of theirs before (I don't think so, tbh, the radio station I listened too atm didn't and doesn't play Green Day often), but that was the first time I really heard a song of theirs.
