I like all their stuff till dookie, i might even push a little for nimrod. But after all that They went down the drain and stink hardcore. No Funky beats? No funny hardcore twisted lyrics? Eyeliner?!? WTF?

I like the old stuff. The newer stuff was ok until it was played way too much on the radio. Now when "When September Ends" comes on I change the station to country, and I don't really like country.

actually some of their newer stuff is about the war which is good cause the 80s and 90s were just trying to sell records. They got a message to say and that is cool. They are one of the few artists who write songs about whats going on in the world instead of other stuff that is not so important like a boy cheating on his girl with her best friend. Green Day "When september ends" is about the war and just let me know when the war is done cause i don't care about this war. Yet you can have your own interpretation of the songs they sing. It could be about september 11th. Since that is when the war started. As for them wearing Eyeliner they are rockstars. If they want to let them express themselves. It could just be a phrase they are going through. Everyone goes through a phase like I cut my hair really short. But in like 7 months i will decide to grow it back and highlight it. Its about changing your image so that people will notice you.

I couldn't agree with you more.. greenday used to be so enjoyable.. they have gotten so much airplay it makes me want to puke if I hear "wake me up...." or "boulevard of broken dreams" again. I have to admit.. i like the song "holiday" but the whole image the band has is a total turn off now. And they got way too political, which I don't think bands should do..

Green Day is the only band out there now that is mega-famous, actually has something to say, makes great music, made it totally on their own, does not run away from controversy, and could give a crap about what all of you think...

they are like my favourite band
but i hate it that they got so big and MTVed.....they are such a great band but its awful that they have this horrible image of being sell outs, and the big thing for a short time..and just being over looked for being either big, or last seasons thing.
they have great music. its brilliant, all of it is, but their image got out of hand after their last cd...and not a good image...i mean it was for a while,..but ppl are like "cyah" when u say u like green day.....but they are like really one of the greatest bands of the last two decades.....no matter what the critics say, what the ppl say, what effin mtv says...its all a bunch of conformity that screws anything and everything up in the music biz that is anything besides hip hop or pop...
its pisses me off....and no matter what the ppl say, ill always love thatband for what the music is, not the ppl's opinion

They were good before they started wearing Maybelline and Mary Kay products. Their best album ever is Insomniac -- dark and hardcore stuff...

I like the old stuff. I don't know what to think of them anymore, though. I always knew they were political which is ok, but now it just seems like they're being political just for the sake of being political, you know?
It's sort of 50/50.

Yeah, now they suck.. Hahah. Their older stuff is pretty good though. And barely anyone knew them before they sent out their new cd. <
