foolycooly6363 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I finally got my hands on American Idiot. I don't understand why it's parental advisory. Three days grace says ******* twice and ******* quite a few times not to mention H*** ( which really isn't that bad). The three days grace cd wasn't P.A. so why does American Idiot have to be? I don't get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saiyuki chick Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'm gonna have ta agree with Boba, the F-word IS in pretty much every song. But American Idiot is their best CD yet, in my opinon. Later!! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAnarchy Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Green Day rocks, I am getting AI and Dookie for christmas! They are going very very very mainstream though:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010DigitalBoy Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I have always been a green day fan. I met them when they were first getting started. My parents were managing a clothes line on a tour called Lalapalooza. Green Day was there and my dad gave them free clothes. I met the drummer and we skipped rocks. The drummer ALSO went on to WEAR THOSE PANTS AT WOODSTOCK 95! Great.... I love their new CD. American Idiot is a cool and funny song. Ive had that freakin Boulevard of Broken Dreems song stuck in my head since it came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miryoku Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Boulevard of broken dreams is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time. That song has every thing good sound, good proportion, katchy beat, and it is so true. I'ts my friends theme song and it realy fits him. I aksed for the CD for christmas and if i don't get it i'll buy it my self. That song is definately awesome............[I]I walk alone I walk alone[/I] I'ts been stuck in my head for a month.

Still, my point is ....wait, what is my point anyway?[/quote][size=1]That's something you should probably figure out before you post, actually. I don't listen to the radio often, so I tend to be a bit behind the current music scene. Reading this thread, I looked through iTunes until I found [i]Boulevard of Broken Dreams[/i], and as I'm listening to it right now, I think I like it. It's got sort of a dark, gritty feel to it, which is interesting. I don't often hear music like that. Would anyone agree with me on that description of the sound?

Beorhun Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Yeah, I think that American Idiot is definently Green Day's best album. I honestly can say that there isn't a bad song on it, from start to finish. Alright, so Extraordianry Girl isn't exactly great by any stretch of the imagination, but each song is good, and the album as a whole just plain rocks. My favorite American Idiot song? Hmm...probably a tie between Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Jesus of Suburbia. Boulevard is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over and over, and Jesus of Suburbia is undoubtedly one of Green Day's best songs ever, bar none. Oh, and as for those of you who thought that it shouldn't be a Parental Advisory album, well, it may not have been entirely deserving of it, because there are sparing few songs that say ******* that stand out in my mind, but it does swear an awful lot. Still, American Idiot is one of my favorite albums to come out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Raizer Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Great album. Green Day's one of the best punk bands out there right now, right up there with The Sex Pistols and The Ramones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kyle Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Green Day is a pretty decent band in my opinion. Playing lots of easy licks and power chords isn't too hard, but the ability to make songs out of them that have great hooks and are pleasing to most people is more so. More power to them I suppose. I won't be buying their album because I don't really ever go out and buy music. I'm more of a pirate myself but that's something completely beside the point. Green Day is alright, I guess. If they can make millions off their records, then they're obviously doing something right but in my opinion aren't any greater than your average band.

Would anyone agree with me on that description of the sound? (And if so, any suggestions on similar music?)[/size][/quote] [color=green]Green Day was sort of a gateway for me into the larger rock/punk scene. American Idiot was a departure, to some extent, from what they?d done in the past. Like you said, it has a little darker and grittier feel to it, which is much different from the pretty easy listening stuff they?d put out earlier. So after I?d gone through most of their older music, I went onto other groups. New Found Glory, Bad Religion and Alkaline Trio are probably some of the better among them. If you?re leaning that way, I could probably send you the 2004 Warped Tour Compilation, which has most of those groups and plenty more. From there, you cold go with what you like.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attimus331 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Parental advisories aren't only used for cursing. The message is very important. Listen to some of the lyrics. They say f * * * America! That's not exactly what i'd want my kids to hear (when i get kids). There's more, that's just one example. All of that aside, i must say i do like Green Day. They rock. Later.

Onikage Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I don't really Like Greenday, I think they suck. Actually, I never liked Greenday, their songs always sounded stupid to me. Just hearing their music irritates me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetron46 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Just when I thought Green Day was dead they responded with another great song. Boulevard of Broken Dreams is an aweosme song, and it totally snuck up on me, I thought those guys were dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
