Who else is crazy about Green Day? |
|
I can't get enough of them.....and U2.....I am going to see them both in less than two weeks, so I officially started my Green Day/U2 marathon to pump up for the concerts....anyhoo.....I think American Idiot is the best effin' album to come out in a long time!

I would kill for tickets to either of those concerts.
Green Day is amazing. American Idiot is in my car right now playing constantly.

I'm here in Iowa where it's hard to see anybody good. I've been a Green Day fan FOOOOR-EEEVVVV-EEEER.....since I was like 13 and Dookie came out. I recently bought American Idiot (I'm really poor right now, can't buy my usual CD a week) and I was like, how did I survive without this album?

Too whiny for me. "Blvd. of Broken Dreams" is a terrible song.

I greatly prefer NoFX for my political punk fix though...
"Franco Un-American"
I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small Never thought about the problems of this planet at all Global warming, radio-active sites Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!
Why think of all the bad things when life is so good? Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'? Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea Outside of California, it's foreign policy
I don't want changes, I have no reactions Your dilemmas are my distractions
That's no way to go, Franco Un-American No way to go, Franco Un-American No way to go, Franco Un-American No way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American
I never looked around, never second-guessed Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed And now I can't sleep from years of apathy All because I read a little Noam Chomsky
I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation I'm wearing uncomfortable shoes 'cause of globalization I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth
I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces I eat no breath-mints 'cause their from de-hoofed horses Now I can't believe; what an absolute failure The president's laughing 'cause we voted for Nader
That's no way to go, Franco Un-American No way to go, Franco Un-American No way to go, Franco Un-American Where can we go, Franco Un-American
I want to move north and be a Canadian Or hang down low with the nice Australians I don't want to be another 'I-don't-care-ican' What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American

I'll have to check them out! I've been trying to get a copy of Rise Against-do you know if they are any good? I was also introduced to a band called Rockets and Cars that are pretty stellar.

I've heard a small sampling of RA. They're a bit more hardcore than I prefer, but still quite good.
I haven't heard of Rockets and Cars. I'll have to look em up.

Zieg Heil to the president gasman Bombs away is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel towers Who criticize your government Bang bang goes the broken glass and Kill all the fags that don't agree Trials by fire, setting fire Is not a way that's meant for me Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

it's really intersting to see a more-mainstream band making the political commentary.....most of them avoid it like the plauge!
