I read that with Trump-voice, cracked me up I’m on the pro-warning train as well, great album. @daveyjones; what about minority? One of my favorite GD songs period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite GD songs period perhaps because i did not listen to the album until almost a full two decades after it was released, warning does nothing for me. i am right now discovering the video for "minority" for the first time. this is paint-by-numbers green day, imo. for another song that covers the same lyrical ground, i recommend: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Can we just agree that both bands appealed to different people. You had a cultural phenomenon in American Pie using blink and their music for all the cool kids And then I’d imagined some geeky, incel chess playing cunt movie would use Greenday to appease all the smelly virgins with no friends hence Speedo, Diddy shitcunt and the likes choosing Greenday. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 16 hours ago, daveyjones said: i know you're tolling hard, but i'll play along. i don't know what planet you're living on. but we live on earth. and on planet earth, warning—arguably the band's worst album—was a top twenty hit in no less than eight countries. Maybe commercially but you throw on blink nearly every song is a hit. Rollercoaster, Reckless Abandon, Everytime I Look For You, hit, hit, hit. Give me one good reason, occasional miss. You could skip half of Green Days songs and be a better person. They're so repetitive! Sure they probably inspired a lot of accountants.

Maddey Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 As a fan of both bands it’s always fun to read these kind of discussions. All the Green Day hate makes me laugh, as I used to be active on a GD forum where most people used to write the same kind of comments about blink. I don’t really have anything to add, but here in norway, green day has always been way bigger than blink. At least as far back as I can remember. I didn’t even discover blink before I started to look for bands that sounded like GD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink has only played here once as well, and it was at their peak in 2000 to 1200(!)persons worth of an half empty arena. When Green Day comes to visit they play for at least 10.000 but mostly more. Most people in Sweden doesn't even know that blink released music after TOYPAJ while Green Day is an arena band here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also listen to Ani Difranco, I don't buy that the acoustic element is what turns you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
