mallorymaloney Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 They're a christian rock band. They're not gonna get many hits as it is. Welp. I felt quoting Jill was nessesary here.
Hermione Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 It only seems weird because it's both the title and the artwork - two coincidences is weird. But that's just an illusion, because the handgrenade is only in the artwork because of the title - it's a given that the artwork would be a handgrenade. So it's really only one coincidence not two.
Lindsay Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I agree with what Alex said. Almost only (really) counts in horseshoes and hand grenades is a pretty common phrase, so I don't think there would be a lawsuit for that. As for the album artwork... probably just a huge coincidence.
Nickofsuburbia Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 i see nothing similar with the artwork either one is their "copy' band's artwork with smoke and a grenade while the other is just art done for Green Day and 21stCB i don't think there would even be a case against the artwork seeing as the dove and the grenade was just part of a Green Day related art exhibit
Marlee Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I have to agree with Alex, the saying "horseshoes and handgrenades' is a common saying or phrase. I remember my teachers using it in ellementary school. as for the artwork, a hand gradande is kinda the most logical thing to put on an album cover with that title
Schlappy Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 today i heard someone use the phrase "close enough is only for horseshoes and hand grenades" i just felt like sharing
in_your_face Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 OMG! Green Day is going to be in real trouble when HSHG is released. btw i really like the art work there. quite amusing and catchy.
ihaveapenisbitch! Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 To be honest I had never heard of the saying horseshoes and hand grenades before I heard the Green Day song. Mind you that might have something to do with the fact I live in Scotland and we have a whole diffrent set of sayings over here. Still regardless I cant see a law suit happening, one the band dont seem to give a shit about that kinda stuff, and its more hassle than its worth. Plus there isnt much of a case here, its the same theme but diffrent and you can't copyright themes.
