Todd Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When I got back into Green Day around winter 2011, and I began downloading their albums, I thought Shenanigans was just a shitty studio album that didn't chart any singles.
Spike Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When I first got into American Idiot just after the single came out, I thought Tre was the best drummer in rock.
HolyHandGrenade Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I though Warning was hated by most fans, and Brain Stew was regarded as Insomniac's best.
Jon Herroon Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I got into them when I was reeeaallly little (my mom gave me her copy of dookie when I was like, 4) and I remember seeing a picture of them at a store or something, recognizing Billie and Tre, and not having a clue who the fuck Mike was

Anaïs. Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When I first heard KYE, I assumed it was from a much older album because of how poor the lyrics were. Also, the file of BOBD that I first heard cut off roughly three seconds before the end. I thought it was just like that until I finally downloaded the whole album.
Gwen Stacy Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When I first joined GDC I thought people on here liked Green Day

Todd Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Back in 2009 when KYE came out, I remember seeing the music video on tv (lol who watches music videos on tv anymore) and liking the song
DookieLukie Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Before I figured out how singles are released and chart, I didn't understand how Letterbomb wasn't a hit.
StuckWithInsomnia Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I thought Warning was one of their more successful albums I also thought Working Class Hero was on 21st Century Breakdown.
HolyHandGrenade Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I also assumed Good Riddance was on Warning. Makes sense...
Awesompawsome Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I thought they were like emo at first and then I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhh when I broke through the wall of misconceptions And somehow my friend convinced me that they were like satan worshippers lol
Pat1308 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The first Green Day album I ever listened to was American Idiot (the existence of which I learned via Weird Al's Canadian Idiot ), followed up by 21st Century Breakdown, then backwards to Warning. Imagine my surprise when I finally listened to 1039 and Kerplunk.
Emilie Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Before I'd seen any pictures of them I always pictured Billie as a tall blonde dude Back in 2009 when KYE came out, I remember seeing the music video on tv (lol who watches music videos on tv anymore) and liking the song There was a music video for KYE?
blitzkriegdeb Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Legitimately had it in my head that they all lived together in the same house when they got off touring
Akshat Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 That the lead singer uses the alter ego Gerard Way for his side project My Chemical Romance
Hermione Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 With no internet I assumed Dookie was their first album, and when I did hear about the existence of Kerplunk and 39/Smooth I assumed they wouldn't be available to buy or listen to and that I'd never hear them. There was a music video for KYE?Don't get excited about ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IclmVdWNbII do enjoy Mike in the making of though, prefer it to the actual video
Pat1308 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Before I'd seen any pictures of them I always pictured Billie as a tall blonde dude First I thought Billie's natural hair color was really black. Then blonde. When I saw his pics as a kid having curly brownish (?) hair I didn't know what to believe anymore. (Honestly though I didn't know what I was in at the time. You could've told me Tre's hair was really green and I would've gone 'O rly'?)
solongfromthestars Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I once thought they were English. I was upset when I found out they were actually American. I also thought BOBD was called "I Walk Alone" and had that title in my MSN personal message for ages. Yes, most things about my childhood were embarrassing.
Angela. Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I used to think that Tré was the best drummer around. Same with Billie and Mike for their instruments. I also used to believe it was necessary to wear GD shirts all the time to show off being a fan. ... I was 12 so that pretty much sums up those thoughts in a nutshell.
Backyard Skulls Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 My uncle gave me a CD with a bunch of different green day songs on it, for some reason semisonics closing time was on it too so for ages I thought that was a green day song and that Mike sung it I remember reading that kerplunk was the first album they used tv/movie snippets, so when I first heard favourite son I assumed it was from that and got really confused as to why it wasn't on the track list.
PleasedToMeetMe Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When Dookie came out I thought Kerplunk was the bands first album as that's what I had been told. Imagine my surprise when going to a record store with my parents and seeing 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, it was like Christmas. Green Day was the gift that kept on giving.
Emilie Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Don't get excited about it Ah, I see why I'd forgotten about it
