No Rhyme Or Reason Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Ooh, I want this week's NME too! Because of the new Green Day article of course... but also the Muse article. (I love them too.) Thanks for the scans! Now I just have to figure out how to buy this one.
WestboundSign! Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks a lot for posting the scans, Flo! That was a really nice read. I love how we get to know a little more with every single article. It's like completing the puzzle step by step. That what makes it so exciting!
Seanz25 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Here's the full HQ PDF with both Green Day & Muse Articles as requested. http://issuu.com/seanz25/docs/nme28julygda?mode=window&backgroundColor=%23222222

Seanz25 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks for posting this. It's so much better to read! No problems - Glad I Could Help
TheJedi Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 does anyone have the scans from Kerrang? the NME article was awesome.
solongfromthestars Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Sexual tension? Damn, Billie, I'd never have guessed.
Sarcasm Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Billie Joe said "We're still total punks"? That's kinda embarrassing. I've always found the punk thing to do is to not claim that you are punk.
Annie, get your gun Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 "Normality is not a possiblity at this point because we have three records, so, immediately, all the old rules are out the door- we just make new ones up as we go." Tré talking on his leopard skin trousers Omg, dude, I you!
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Love the trousers Tre...reminds me of the early 90's when he had those crazy green pants with the flowers...and a matching top! (Loved the little story he told mid concert about how he bought them seperately in different months which is why his pants were "hella faded but this is hella new!" The audience were like wtf?!?! Love Tre!) Thanks for posting the NME article...anyone got the Kerrang scans yet?
valeriesername Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Okay, so on the front cover of NME, there's a picture of Green Day with the quote, "We're still total punks" . And after reading the article, not one time did Billie, Mike, or Tre say that. And I agree with sarcasm, that quote makes them look, well, less punk. It is embarrassing.

Ha...you are right they never said that...magazines (especially in Britain i have noticed) tend to invent their own "quotes" using various words copied and pasted together so if Billie said "punks" Tre said "total" and Mike said "we're still" at any point it's all a matter of perspective to them! Seriously though i felt the whole article came off a bit on the negative side/a little as though the writer was pretending to be neutral and failing...it felt sarcastic or something. Definitely the headline made them seem lame and the idea that they should be considering what to do after the trilogy made me think what the actual fuck?!

NME and other magazines can invent their own quotes? What?! Then they could have wrote "We shit our pants" instead of "We're still total punks" as well? xD
Silent Duck Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 The quote might have been "We're still total cunts" but seeing as you can't really put that on the front of a magazine, they needed something that kinda sounded like that so they went with punks instead.
Guest Honey Emerald Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Certainly putting out 3 albums, when the rest of the industry usually does not do music trilogies, could be considered pioneering... In agreement with the downpour... that quote looks stupid. So what would you have put on that page instead of that quote? Billboard called the Tre album "Tres". It's not like they are even paying attention.
Seanz25 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 To be fair NME has a reputation over here for being a horrendous music magazine.
petros Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 It surely sounds wrong...It's like they scream "Hey look at us we're punk!" like Johny Rotten does... But I can't wait to read the whole interview.
Sixtrix Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I wonder if they actually said that whole line like that or if they had some kind of laugh going along with it but was not included in the article..
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 It surely sounds wrong...It's like they scream "Hey look at us we're punk!" like Johny Rotten does... But I can't wait to read the whole interview. It is posted on page one so you can read it now! The way it says "total" in the middle has me picturing a Paris Hilton type flicking their hair and going "we're still like total punks". Just can NOTpicture any member of Green Day ever uttering those words ever...having actually watched interviews where they have discussed how they refuse to justify themselves as punks as that is where they came from & will always be a part of them and to try to explain that at this point would just be stupid (and that is almost sn exact quote!) so this headline means they have either totally changed their minds in all aspects of how important it is that random readers of a magazine see them as punk (for the first time since 94ish) and in doing so their vocab has reverted (if it ever was like totally that terrible to like begin with) to that of a teenage bimbo...hmm. Or NME used "creative licence".
petros Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 It is posted on page one so you can read it now! Oops I thought that was from the other magazine we don't have the scans yet...I don't remember them saying anything like that in that interview so it maybe it's just NME talking that phrase from something they said for fun or after explaining something.
solongfromthestars Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I agree about them sounding like they're pretending to be neutral and failing. I guess they had a Noel Gallagher blow job or two to attend to and they didn't have much time to spend on pretending they like Green Day. sarcasm aside, I hate it when magazines just make something up/completely twist something and act like it's a "quote". So many articles are "a little re-phrased" these days to make everything sound how they want it to. That's a classic symbol of shit journalism. Which I know is a very common disease these days but it still annoys me as a writer. /mini off-topic rant over
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Anyone got the scans from Kerrang yet? Pretty please.
iRun Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 leaked songs? Are they "expecting" them to be leaked? Surprise appearances? More secret shows?
