pasalaska Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 They inspired me to be the (relatively) self-confident person I am today, and to travel the world and live for the moment. And also to get a tattoo (albeit a very small one, but I have others that I want) ...and to get a mohawk, but that phase has passed, thankfully.
yauger72 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Green Day has taught me or inspired me to do many things. For one, they were one of the main reasons I started to play drums. Also it has inspired my love of writing and am currently writing a book and am drawing inspiration from American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Almost everything I stand by, has drawn from Green Day in SOME way.
pasalaska Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Almost everything I stand by, has drawn from Green Day in SOME way. most definitely for me too
cartoonjunkie Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Green Day has inspired and influenced me in a LOT of ways, but for the most part they've really helped me with my Artwork... If it wasn't for them I don't think I would have improved as much as I have throughout the years... Also, Mike inspired me to pick up the Bass, though I don't play it as much anymore cause I'm drawing so much...
Zero. Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Too much But they definitely inspired me to play the piano more, music I listen too, what I wear etc... but I think they really inspired me to not care what other people think and too be myself - sappy, but it's the truth...
xSodaPopandRiTalinx Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Well 1, not die and to teach myself guitar THANK YOU
alaniluau Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Oh, where to begin! At the most fundamental level, the boys have simply made me have a zest for life. Since I became a fan, I've had a bit of a spring in my step and every day is just a little bit better. Also, they've given me some stability. I know that no matter what life throws at me, I can crank up Green Day to make me feel better. I can't listen to them without smiling. They are also responsible for my passion for music. Green Day was the first band I loved, and will forever remain the band I love most. Billie and Jason inspired me to teach myself to play guitar, which has in turn given me a ridiculous amount of joy. They've also helped me to realize that I want to work with music throughout my life, as a career. I've met some people who have changed my world. I've visited cities I never thought I would see. Green Day has made me so happy. I'm a much better person with the band in my life.
deletethisaccount Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Green Day inspired me to start playing guitar. They're lyrics helped me get through infatuation and relationships and have also given me the courage to tell people to piss off if they're bothering me. After watching listening to songs like Longview and watching Billie Joe touch himself on stage, I thought "hey, I wanna do that too!" so Green Day has also got me into jerking my noodle. Watching Billie mature from the 90s to this day has taught me how to mature myself. Mike and Tre helped me learn to not take things so seriously since they're so hilarious. also, they all got me into liking music in the first place.
Sofouska Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 Well 1, not die and to teach myself guitar THANK YOU To not die? I'm SOSOSO glad you're here
Sarabeth Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 On the outside I completely changed my makeup, hair, and the way I dress. They made me want piercings and tatoos too, but at my age and with my parents, that won't happen for 2 more years. On the inside, they completely change my whole outlook on life. They inspired me to stop trying to be like everybody else so they would like me. I used to hide myself under a lot of preppy makeup and clothes just so I would fit in, but I don't do that anymore. I am myself, and if people don't like me then they don't know what they are missing. I guess that's the big thing that Green Day inspired me to do. To find out who I realy am. I'm really glad that they helped me uncover that. They also got me into music. I had "favorite" bands before them, but I never really LOVED any artist. I would just listen to music when I was bored. Now, my life revolves around my guitars, my keyboard and my drums. Oh, and my iPod and CDs I think it's safe to say that Green Day helped me pull myself out of the way of the bus that I almost threw myself under.
Tamara Rebel Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I started to play bass because of them, hearing Longview and I started to write lyrics. I change the way i dress and my hair (have BJ hair cut). i'm more outgoing now before i was really shy. I want to get atleast one tatoo but i can't because i'm not 18 yet, i need my parents aprooval (like if that's gonna happen). Before I listened to a bit of every thing but now I only listen to them. In the end, they changed my life! LOVE THEM FOR EVER!!!!
Benni; Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 mostly everything. they are making me the person I am. I mean, if it was not for them I would not be wearing the clothes I am wearing right now, I would not be listening to what I am listening now, I would not be here, maybe. I would not have a guitar in front of me.. mostly everything that is me it's Green Day.
WestboundSign! Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I changed my hair and my style. Completely. I started playing the guitar and they taught me not to fear being different. And I don't know how many things changed since I've been listening to their music. I'm thankful.
marie. Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 To keep playing music, and not let the assholes who doubt me tear me down.
JuliaX_Ray2020 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 many many many many many many many things I would say they changed my life
milica. Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 to do something with my life and not just sit around and like watch tv all day. . . i start playing guitar and finally had the guts to show off some of my song lyrics and to get involved in band. . . and most important, they had inspired me [i know this will sound cheesy ] not to be ashamed of who actually i am and basically to do things that i like no metter you like it or not. . .
horrorkiss Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 They inspired me to get involved with music, I had already started playing drums before I listened to them, but I know play guitar and bass and I go to school for audio engineering. Their lyrics also inspired me to write my own lyrics as well as poetry.
Kristen M Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 They inspired me to not be embarressed about being myself!
whatsup? Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Dare to assume that you're is you're, and not wrong if you're don't joins the 'queues', if you dare to be different from the others! They inspired me to not be embarressed about being myself! Haha, I just read now that we are talking about the same thing.
basKTcase1000 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 They inspired me to start playing drums, my style and to not be ashamed of who i am
bollard_11 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 They inspired me to kill a man and dump his body in the river
Just Kate Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 this may sound weird: Green Day has inspired me to live on. that's awesome
