cj_unoxx Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I know right... even Take That had a song in an X-Men movie... And like how Soundgarden (even though i cant stand them) got together again to make a song for The Avengers and its wildly popular, I wish they would've pick like I said Iron Man 3 or Thor 2 or Captain America 2 or even the new Spider-Man 2 ya know? It would've been better for them and you wouldn't have so much hate going around like you do now
Firecracker Lell Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Twilight will be much better with Green Day!! )) Gonna watch it just because of Green Day!!
songofthecenturyx Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 It's just a film. They're very action packed and full of great special effects. LOL did we watch the same movie?
WhiteTim Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Since I've never seen Twilight not that im on this hate the series bandwagon I'm not I just never cared for vampires or werewovles so a movie or book focusing on both just doesnt do shit for me why is it soo much hate for this series?
SmidtsPie° Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 What's wrong with fans who only like a particular song though? There's lots of bands and artists that I only like one or two songs by. Just enjoy Green Day's music, which other people enjoy it or why they enjoy it or how much of it they enjoy doesn't matter. Good for anyone who gets any enjoyment out of any of their music, and who knows maybe some of them will check out more of it and become big fans. Yeah, nothing. That's not what I meant, but I understand what you mean. I've put it the wrong way. There's nothing wrong with only liking one song, and of course it's only great if they become fans. What I worry about is the ones who rather "hate" the other stuff they make. Because that has just happened to me. I was playing Kill The Dj in my class and this one girl really like it. And just like every time i'm at the computer she like "play that one with the dj". Then she asked me to play more, and so I did because it would be cool if she liked more. But she didn't, she just like laughed and said it was shit. That just annoyed me a lot, I guess it's just my irritation with her that came out.

Bastard of 1967 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Ok folks, let's do a GDC rewind.....here's what I think the deal is. Many of us will recall that back in August as Warner was starting to promote the album trilogy, Melissa saw through a lot of the bullshit and tried to expose the label (and the band) for promoting very adult content to the tween set -- and also called the whole team out for beginning the sanitization of American Idiot for re-release by retailers that the band had previously disparaged. Her Huffington Post op-ed (http://www.huffingto..._b_1844276.html) generated a lot of controversy about who was responsible for this and what was really happening, but when you look at things like the early single selections and the "alternate" clean version of the Kill the DJ single, the shallow "Ooh! Look - TITTIES!!" Oh Love video, the Angry Birds tie-ins, Billie mothballing his Twitter account in favor of Instagram, limited and "safe" tour venue choices, the crash-and-burn appearance schedules and non-headliner festival placements that had to have been a big factor in Billie's meltdown in Vegas a few weeks ago, and now the Twilight placement, one thing seems pretty clear to me: She was spot on, and those of us who villified her for it here owe her an apology. One other important thing to note -- within a few weeks after the article appeared, Warner began reversing course. Apparently in response to the fan outrage that the article generated, they re-posted the uncensored American Idiot video, did some surprise single releases from Uno in a very "let Green Day be Green Day" way, and have (mostly) returned to marketing the band as an established rock artist instead of a Bieber-esque tween pop idol. In hindsight, whether it was intentional or not or whether any substance abuse intervention was actually needed, Billie's on-stage tantrum at iHeart I think actually helped restore some of the band's cred with their core fan base and also ground Warner's poorly-thought-out marketing plan for October and November to a complete halt. I find it more than coincidental that during this time, Warner Music Group posted a job opening for a high-level position responsible for managing promotional efforts for the label's major artists -- this would suggest, though I cannot be certain, that someone's head may have rolled as a direct result of the Green Day marketing debacle and resulting fanbase fallout. So, props to Warner for doing what's needed to be done to right the ship long after it had already left port. That being said, however, there are some things that would have been in the pipeline well before the last month or so, that could not be stopped easily, and that are starting to emerge now. One would certainly be the continuing Angry Birds tie-ins with Rovio; the other would be getting a song from the trilogy on the Twilight soundtrack. Hopefully this will be the last "WTF!?" face-palmer that we have to deal with for this release cycle.
1039SweetChildren Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I highly doubt the guys are upset by endeavors that get their music out to a bigger audience. You make music to be heard. If you don't like the mainstream marketing that they are doing, then that is your own battle. Don't reflect your negative reactions on the band and assume they aren't happy with the work Warner is doing to promote their work to assure people actually hear it.
WhiteTim Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Bastard i think you and alot of people are overlooking that Green Day has to approve and sign paper work for ALL promo and song uses (since GD owns the name Green Day) so they have approved all things so far As far as youtube WMG doesnt manage the greenday one... Because its garbage If it garbage then why talk about it? People who TRULY hate things dont spend their time always talking shit bout it...
.Holly Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 LOL did we watch the same movie? Well yeah, I'm not saying it's a brilliant film like the Shawshank Redemption or something. But it's good a face value. There's loads of action - fighting, wolf chases, fast cars etc. And generally I'd say the effects are quite good when it comes to how they did the vampire's speacial powers. As I say, I think it's good at face value for some entertainment. Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a Twilight film discussion (I'm sure there's a thread elsewhere). I just don't want to jump on the "Twilight hater" and "Green Day are selling out" bandwagon. I just wanted to point out that Twilight (as a film series) has some good points as well as bad. I mean, they did pour an awful lot of money into it. As someone else already pointed out, Green Day have had songs in quite a few other films that can hardly be considered classics. (Except American Pie, that's obviously a classic )
EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Does any one else but me think this could be the worst idea Green Days PA department has ever had! Come on!, there a punk band, there not here to play for some main stream vampire movie. This will be really bad they will get a lot of a realt bad reputation with people who are long time fans like me, this is nothing like what Green Day has done in the past. and it might not be good. D: Well considering you just joined today to say that then. And they have done it in the past as has nearly every freaking band on the planet. But hat doesnt seem to occur to anyone. But again you clearly only joined to bitch so whatever

Don't care who's responsible, just glad they've since fixed it and am noting that there's still stuff left over in the pipeline that may yet make us cringe.
Mandy_PunkRock Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I don't care if they release a song for Twilight's soundtrack. What I want is to hear the song soon C'mon people let's not start a drama
jona92 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Twilight will be much better with Green Day!! )) Gonna watch it just because of Green Day!! It won't be in the movie just on the album soundtrack
TAR Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Wait so putting a song on a movie soundtrack like say every other band on the freaking planet is selling out. Yeah Logic fail idiot. Dont get so freaking buthurt its promoting an album for christ sake. Look at 21CBD fuck all promotion basically fell flat on its ass compared to AI. At least Warner have pulled their heads out of their asses this time. If they loose you as a fan as result good fucking riddance Well I wasn't aware that the soundtrack also had every other band on earth on it. That does make me question how much green day will stand out. There's a huge difference between promotion and supporting things you said you hated, a point which seems lost on you. The logical fallacy you employ to avoid answering to the contradictory nature of the move says it all.
Firecracker Lell Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 It won't be in the movie just on the album soundtrack If so, Thanks God!! I'm not gonna have to watch that movie!!
WhiteTim Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Don't care who's responsible, just glad they've since fixed it and am noting that there's still stuff left over in the pipeline that may yet make us cringe. We dont know that yet wmg hasnt changed at all id love to see them change but knowing them personally they havent improved at all not trying to be debby downer but we'll see wmg needs to change but they are owned by idiots... It won't be in the movie just on the album soundtrack From what I understand every song that is fted on the past soundtracks is in the movies i very seriously doubt they'd change it up all the sudden...
blitzkriegdeb Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Rancid'sTime Bomb in Fun With Dick and Jane The Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop in Jimmy Neutron The Buzzcocks' Ever Fallen in Love in Shrek 2 Henry Rollins acting on Teen Titans Refused in Friday Night Lights Suicidal Tendencies' Institutionalized in Repo Man Just some examples of punk music being utilized in movies and TV. I'm not trying to rehash the "punk or not" debate, I just figured I'd throw out some bands who have had songs or even acted on popular movies/TV shows. It's nothing new, nothing unheard of. The point being that Green Day are a popular fucking band whose music is going to expand on every and all forms of media, from Broadway to teen movies, whether we like it or not. Hating the fact that ONE SONG is going to be in a movie soundtrack is like saying you hate all cats because one cat was mean to you.

The logical fallacy you employ to avoid answering to the contradictory nature of the move says it all. Its not lost on me. We are living in an age where promotion is everything for a band. The more apperences promotion they do for a record the more attention it will get. Its the 21st century deal with it, tey are gonna use whatever is available to them to promote the albums. And if they themselves hated twilight so much they could easily say fuck off your not using our music for the soundtrack. MCR have infact done this in regards to twilight. If they didnt want it used they could easily just say it. They clearly dont hate it as you say if thats the case. They have jokingly made reference to it that doesnt equal hate. Get your facts straight before trying to sound all high and mighty which that last sentence of yours clearly indicates.. All that needs to be said in this thread frankly is opinions are like assholes every one has one

Get your facts straight before trying to sound all high and mighty which that last sentence of yours clearly indicates.. You're still missing the point. They did say they disliked twilight. They made it apparent so what now has caused them to change their minds? It seems money. Maybe they had some sour grapes from being left of the previous soundtracks. Either way, this isn't how I think a respectable band conducts itself. Also you said it, it's the twenty-first century, viral marketing is easier now than its ever been. What do you think is grabbing more peoples attention billie's meltdown or twilight? We both know the answer and if it weren't for the venue he chose to do it at, I'd imagine the rant would have even more support than it already does. You don't need movies to promote your music, you don't need angry birds, just face it.
Harinezumi Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 And they lasted decades whats wrong with them? Just cause you may not like em why spend time talkin bout em? Nothing, I just find them a bit boring, that's all. Too much talk and no action.
