Would you like an opinion on why someone DOESN'T like Green Day?\n\nTheir lyrics have absolutely no meaning for me, but maybe that's because I'm not a very political person.  However, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "Good Riddance"-- political?  Iuno..\nFor me what makes a band interesting is either some good guitar riffs or a nice solo, powerful vocals, or an impressive drummer.  GreenDay doesn't provide any of that for me, and they're too.. pop.  The same riffs are used in like every other song they've written or they're like cheesy kindergartener tunes and chords.  Sometimes when I listen to one song, I feel like I've heard the same melody in one of their other songs.  Their guitar solos are pathetic.  In fact, they're not even guitar solos, they're just "interludes".  The drummer doesn't impress me that much either.  I'd pick Blink182 in a second over GreenDay because of Travis Barker's impressivenessss.  I'm pretty picky about the vocals I have to listen to.  Billie Joe doesn't have an annoying voice as opposed to some emo bands, but it just doesn't do it for me.\n\nHowever, even if I don't find their music all that worth listening to, I still think they're quite respectable in the fact that they've influenced and inspired so many people.

You know what I think it is? \n\nThis is a band that has been around for over 10 years. Ok, why after ten years are they causing such a debate? Finally they have an album that went mainstream in the public's eye. So many people are just now discovering them. \n\nI think some alternative band lovers enjoy following a band that is a little more obscure. Once their obscurity is traded in for fame, some fans feel they have "sold out." In truth, the band has not changed their concept in the least. The public just woke up in recognizing them. To those that don't appreciate the explicit lyrics, they don't realize this is a band that has never hidden their expletives. They never have.......never will. No one has ever complained before, because of their obscurity. Now with their fame, people are complaining. Well, love them for who they are.....for who they were.......or ignore them and continue your day. The band is quite content with who they are. They don't seriously plan on conforming for the public. They stick to who they have been for 10 years. \n\nIt just makes me laugh to hear people talking about this band as if they are new on the scene. So some will hate them because they are finally MAINSTREAM. And others will resent that they are no longer obscure. It's a cycle of life folks. \n\nBut to answer your question......this is why I believe so many people are "hating" Green Day. "Don't be a hater!"

Green Day - they rock -great lyrics, great tunes. Their songs say something & make a statement. The lyrics aren't cheezy like some boy bands'.\nSimple Plan is great too, but I prefer Green Day - just  a matter of personal choice.

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.

I used to love Green Day. I still like them now, but not as much as before. Maybe I just out grew it. My favorite CD by them is Nimrod.. Their newer ones are okay, but not as good.

It's because Green Day is known to be one of the best live bands ever. Very energetic show, plus it was held at the National Bowl, which was their largest show that they've ever played.

of course green day are the best\nlistening to them completely changed my view of life and brought something i didnt know i had, like a rebel inside of me\ntheir music is awesome and it changed me for the better\ni am more decisive because i have more faith in my own decisions and i am not afraid to stand up for myself or something i feel strongly about\ni dont get angry or frustrated as often because i forget it when i can drown myself in their music
