Anyone Think that Green Day Is a legititmate Rock Band?

[Unchainme]

I'm starting to get convinced they are. Maybe its just the fact that everything in music today pretty much is either pop or Rap or Depressing Rock (System Of A Down Sucks). Anyone else find that Green day is starting to grow on them. please Don't Flame Me.

[PELIBUS]

nope.
they're rubbish

[tydhurst]

I don;t find them rock, i just find them a lot more enjoyable than the other crap nowadays. The kind of Pop Punk i can get on board with. It's not all aobut skatebording or how they're different than society.

[Redballjets88]

they piss me off....

[Panamark]

I always find that on first listening, with any of their songs, it sounds
like Ive heard it before. Like they are "borrowing" most of their
melodies from others.. But the singer does a fair American Johhny
Rotten type vocal, and there is distorted guitars involved. So its
not all bad...

Legit Rock Band ????

Do they have a drum machine? NO

Do they use synths instead of guitars? NO

Do they "Milli Vanilli" their way through life? NO

Of course they're a fucking Rock Band. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but big fucking deal

Know why Baskin and Robins carried 31 flavors???

BECAUSE WE ALL GET SICK OF CHOCOLATE EVENTUALLY

I like them. But a steady diet of it would be boring.

I hope this answers your burning question that has plaqued rock scribes through the ages

THey sell a LEGIT amount of records.

They are LEGIT, if very basic players.

What else do you need to know? I don't give a fuck about them, but they are doing the job.

I do wish there were more acts who at least played with some ounce of life, like this band does most of the time (although I'm starting to feel an Aerosmith like ballad phase coming on with them)..

[The Scatologist]

they stopped being legit the instant they put on that eye liner to fit in with all the other bands.

[Golden AWe]

they're ok...but not interesting enough for me to buy their albums...

[superdave]

I don't care for them, but since there is nothing else good out there now, they sell, and are popular

[Big Fat Sammy]

NO.

[Terry]

Never saw the big deal with them back when Dookie was released. Pretty much the same thing today. Nothing astounding, song-wise or in terms of image. Has way more to do with pop than 'punk'.

Agreed that they may seem decent compared with the rubbish surrounding them on the radio, but that's not saying a hell of a lot. ANY cred they may have had with me went out the window with that gay 'Time Of Your Life' tune, although I bet that point was when Van Hagar fans started wishing for a Sam Halen/Green Day tour.

My favorite Green Day album is still their second (indie) release "Kerplunk", but "American Idiot" is a very close second.

The album is a fucking masterpiece, lyrically,musically, politically , and otherwise. Not bad from a band who looked liked they were finished 2 or 3 years ago.

[Carmine]

I've always liked Greenday. Nothing overwhelming, but enough so that I do buy their CD's.

There set at Woodstock, in Rome, NY, was legendary with all the mud flyin.
