TheTallOne Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Green Day is probably the worst band ever to grace the face of the Earth. Their older stuff was tolerable, but they are NOT punk, are NOT British, and are NOT even that good. My brother is 11, and he figured out how to play that September song by himself, and he can perfectly play Espionage. He thinks they are great, but if he can play their songs, they can't be that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Green Day is probably the worst band ever to grace the face of the Earth. Really?? Their older stuff was tolerable, They surely can't be the worst band ever to grace the face of the earth then? but they are NOT punkSo what? Most would argue this as a point in their favour... are NOT British"Britishness" is no guarantee of excellence,... As for your last paragraph: since when do we judge the greatness of songs by how complicated they are to play? The Ramones did truckloads of "easy-to-learn" songs, but , possibly for that very reason, were one of the best bands ever to grace the...etc, etc. I'm not particularly a fan of Green Day. Nonetheless, I find your logic to be seriously flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I like a few of Green Day's Songs.....and believe me there are alot of other bands out there that are worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 yeah, playability of songs shouldn't be considered when judging how good a band is. Some people love bands just because their songs are easy to play, some people love bands just because their songs are hard to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCowbell Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hate is such a strong and vile word. I usually use 'loathe' in similar discussions but to each their own. :: One band that's over-rated and I can't stand 99% of their music is ... U2 :guitar: Booooo! A band I can't stand. Hmmm...Starship. Styx. Definitely Styx. Journey's cheesy but I will sing them in karaoke. That's my true test of whether I like a band or not.

phil Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Van Halen - their music does absolutely nothing for me. And every single Hair band from the 80's, Especially Motley Crue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Green Day is probably the worst band ever to grace the face of the Earth. they are NOT punk, are NOT British Here is a short list of terrific bands who are not British and not punk: Jimi Hendrix (solo, because group is from Britain) Rush Parliament Funkadelic the Mahavishnu Orchestra the Chieftains Miles Davis Neutral Milk Hotel Tangerine Dream Manic Street Preachers Van Der Graaf Generator (Italy, right?) Sly & The Family Stone Nirvana The White Stripes Herbie Hancock The Talking Heads Frank Zappa and the Mothers Camel Gong Primus Pixies (does new wave count as punk?) Flogging Molly Cat Stevens Alice Cooper Soundgarden eh, that's enough; you get the point, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skuff Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Green Day is probably the worst band ever to grace the face of the Earth. I totally agree, TheTallOne! The ONLY (Green Day) song they play is "Wake Me Up When September Ends" on our 'All Hit Music station', Hot 92. Well, take a look at "Fine Line", NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY, and all the crap they play, "Hits", are what they are, CRAP! C'mon Hot 92, play REAL hits! My bands are:(No perticular order) Green Day Good Charlotte Blink-182 Fall Out Boy Black Eyed Peas That's all I can think of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, take a look at "Fine Line", NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY, and all the crap they play, "Hits", are what they are, CRAP! C'mon Hot 92, play REAL hits! Eh??? I can't make any sense of this post. Is your gripe with your local radio station or the band Green Day? Green Day haven't had enough hits to get played on a "Hits" station? (Maybe it doesn't like punk bands?) Are Green Day somehow responsible for what's played on your radio station? This is hardly a global concern... I can tell that you both hate Green Day, which is, of course, your prerogative. Having said that, I do wish I could understand your reasoning more clearly... Earlier on, I was taking issue with the statement that Green Day are "probably the worst band ever to grace the face of the earth", and the bizarre sequence of reasoning that led The TallOne to this conclusion. That statement is patently untrue. If I had all day I could sit here and list hundreds, maybe thousands of bands inferior to Green Day (without even risking controversy). In fact, as I'm off work sick today, technically I do have all day, so I might just do that.... There is quite a difference between "the worst" and "the one I hate the most". For example...(casts around for good examples)...I "hate" Mick Hucknall of Simply Red, but it would be foolish of me to suggest he's the world's worst singer. I "hate" U2, but I understand that they are not "the worst band in existence", I "hate" Duran Duran but...oh hang on..I could end up arguing against myself now... Of course "hate" is a fairly extreme verb, often bandied around inappropriately (as I have here). If one is going to claim it (this extremity of emotion/opinion), one should at least attempt to justify it with coherent reasoning... Yours hypocritically...

edna Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I hate U2 and Mick Hucknall too... must be their attitude rather than their music... ...but I can´t help loving Duran Duran! :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 rach is right batman. wales is part of britain but separate from england. the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland consists of four separate entities: england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. the first three are all part of great britain. it's a little confusing!

Batman Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 no, wales is part of britain. why do i have the feeling we have had the exact same discussion before? you may feel that we've had the exact same discussion before because of a relatively simple chemical inbalance in the brain. This inbalance causes one side of the brain to perceive something a little bit quicker than the other side of the brain. So, your left side knew about this conversation for a split second before your right side knew about it. This chemical inbalance is more commonly referred to as deja vu.

TheTallOne Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 What I meant in saying they were not British or Punk is that they think they are, and their fans think they are. I wasn't trying to insult any good bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METALLICA_ROCKS Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Opiate, I'll excuse the Crazy Town comment, because I'm sure you only go by what you hear on the radio. They had two really good songs called "Darkside" and "Toxic" boot up your illegal music stealing programs and dl them. As for bands I can't stand anything claiming to be punk after the 60s also Tool, Deftones, Pink Floyd, Good Charolette, Sum 41, and anything else on the radio. pink floyd is awesome dark side of the moon and the wall rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
