Why all of a sudden everyone is a GREEN DAY fan?
102609
My personal opinion as to why everyone is now a Green Day fan is that they have what is commonly reffered to as "selling out".  Large music lables dish out millions and millions to promote artists albums, and in return, get air time, national tours in large venues, and thier latest single played on Mtv (the same corporation that tells you what to think, what to say, and what to listen to).  It is because people are being force-fed this mainstream bullshit pop music, that people have infatuations with a particular group for an extended period of time.  Also, to make more money for the record executives, bands sometimes release up to five singles off of just one album.  This creates the illusion that the CD is doing well, and continues to place the band in the spotlight, in return, making more money.  Bands with little or no talent (Maroon 5) can ride an album for over 2 years without producing any new material.

Older green day is awesome, newer green day went for that whole emo wave (no offense to anyone who is emo) which is the popular thing now! Simple plan.... i think they have maybe one or two good songs out every few years... I say TOM PETTY and the HEATBREAKERS... or maybe some GUNS n ROSES!!

green day is the best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. and they have been a band for 16 years. Green Day were part of the northern California underground punk scene. Childhood friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, vocals) and Mike Dirnt (bass; born Mike Pritchard) formed their first band, Sweet Children, in Rodeo, CA, when they were 14 years old. By 1989, the group had added drummer Al Sobrante and changed its name to Green Day. That year, the band independently released its first EP, 1,000 Hours, which was well-received in the California hardcore punk scene. Soon, the group had signed a contract with the local independent label, Lookout. Green Day's first album, 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hour, was released later that year. Shortly after its release, the band replaced Sobrante with Tre Cool (born Frank Edwin Wright, III); Cool became the band's permanent drummer.\n\nThroughout the early '90s, Green Day continued to cultivate a cult following, which only gained strength with the release of their second album, 1992's Kerplunk. The underground success of Kerplunk led to a wave of interest from major record labels; the band eventually decided to sign with Reprise. Dookie, Green Day's major-label debut, was released in the spring of 1994. Thanks to MTV support for the initial single, "Longview," Dookie became a major hit. The album continued to gain momentum throughout the summer, with the second single, "Basket Case," spending five weeks on the top of the American modern rock charts. At the end of the summer, the band stole the show at Woodstock '94, which helped the sales of Dookie increase. By the time the fourth single, "When I Come Around," began its seven-week stay at number one on the modern rock charts in early 1995, Dookie had sold over five million copies in the U.S. alone; it would eventually top eight million in America, selling over ten million copies internationally. Dookie also won the 1994 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.\n\nGreen Day quickly followed Dookie with Insomniac in the fall of 1995; during the summer, they hit number one again on the modern rock charts with "J.A.R.," their contribution to the Angus soundtrack. Insomniac performed well initially, entering the U.S. charts at number two, and selling over two million copies by the spring of 1996, yet none of its singles — including the radio favorite "Brain Stew/Jaded" — were as popular as those from Dookie. In the spring of 1996, Green Day abruptly canceled a European tour, claiming exhaustion. Following the cancellation, the band spent the rest of the year resting and writing new material, issuing Nimrod in late 1997. Their long-awaited follow-up, a refreshingly poppy record titled Warning, was released three years later. Another long wait preceded 2004's American Idiot, an aggressive rock opera that became a surprise success — a chart-topper around the world, a multi-platinum seller, and easily the best reviewed album of their career. Green Day reveled in the album's success, hitting numerous award shows and performing as part of Live 8 in July 2005. That fall brought Bullet and a Bible, which documented the trio's expansive Idiot live show. \nlol. i absolutely love billie joe armstrong!!!!!!!!!!!! he's the hottest man alive!!!! and he's the lead singer of the best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think i know billie better than he knows himself. i'm going to write a secondary autobiography on his life.

I love Green Day - old and new.  Like all bands, they mature and their sound morphs into more melodic and advanced orchestrations.  The Beatles are classic example of what can happen in a mere 6 years.  \n\nI saw Green Day in Boston in 1994, when Dookie was simmering.  The concert was out of this world - although the club that held it had a poor audio system, so it did not do them justice.  Yeah, the ticket was only $7!  So, four of us bought them (standing room only) and had a great night.

The killers of course.  Greenday is cool too and I like some of their songs...wait a minute...didn't you ask which greenday song everyone liked??? If you did, thanks for the best answer last time and if you didn't...well nevermind.  I'm a music person so I answer a lot of questions about music!

yeah...i have listened their whole CD. Some of the songs on there are played too much on the radio, but there are some (such as Are We the Waiting and She's a Rebel) that haven't been played on the radio very often. Overall, though, Green Day's songs are pretty awesome!

Hmm, that's a difficult question, because I like both bands...Green Day has been around for yrs. now, & I've always liked their music, although their new stuff is a lil' different...When it comes to MCR, I really like them...Gerald has a really cool voice...So yeah...I'm gonna have to say this is a tie...lol...
