If you’re talking about speed, plenty of punk drummers who were much faster AND cleaner (including Travis). Scott just wasn’t that good and people get blinded by nastolgia I don't really think people think he is that impressive compared to drummers you mentioned. I think it's a mix between him being the OG drummer and him being kicked out in a shitty way. Are there people talking about how impressive he is? I mean I'm impressed because I can't do what he does, but not compared to Travis and Smelly. Quote

Scott is best punk drummer ever!” Etc. I totally understand liking those songs better than the Travis era. I just find it funny when people act like Scott was a great punk drummer just because he did the same beat over and over. Tons of other drummers do that beat faster and cleaner with better fills throughout Quote
JarJarBlinks Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I’ve always thought scott was average at best. Goofy fills and hilarious China cymbals. But that’s part of the charm Of his style and how it made those songs sound. 3 Quote
Coddled Jan Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Does he talk about why he left San Diego? Oddly enough that's what I'm most interested in getting the answer on. LA sucks. Quote
Russel Coight Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Tre cool just seems like a giant douche. No knock on his drumming. Just his personality. 2 Quote

Neal Posted April 2 Posted April 2 yeah mike dirnt seems like the only down to earth guy in that band. not sure about billie, he seems to have had an absolute awful time with addiction the last decade or so, so it might not be his real self i don't really care about green days music. never did much for me, but that's just a subjective matter of taste.. but i tried to watch them live at a festival but couldn't make it till the end because billies stage persona was so obnoxious and annoying. some people love that shit though, so for me it was another case of "meh, not for me, moving on"....

thongrider Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I will never understand Green Day's popularity in the US compared to Nirvana (I obviously like Green Day better). It seems like Nirvana was so much bigger. Nirvana had hit singles all over the world. But in the US Dookie almost sold twice as much as Nevermind. Is it about GD fans being middleclass and being able to afford the album? And more people pirating Nevermind? Whereas worldwide the two albums have sold almost equally as much. So Nirvana is much bigger worldwide than Dookie was. But Green Day didnt have a mainstream hit single before Minority in the US, but their singles were chartbusters in Europe. Whereas Nirvana had hit singles everywhere. Did GD not release singles in the US? American pop music is weird as hell. (Maybe this post is more suitable for the GD thread I dunno) Always baffles me. Quote

I’ve been going down the Nirvana rabbit hole the last week for some reason. Always thought they were overrated. I still do. With only 3 albums, only the last two are good…I don’t think they deserve to be renowned like they are in music history. Two good albums and not all of the songs are good on each album….and rock n roll hall of fame? Kurt killed himself at the right time. I’ve just been going down the rabbit hole of his life and what it was like for the other two members in his last days having to deal with him. I feel bad for Dave and Krist, especially for Krist. 3 Quote

Such a trash take. It sounds like you’re just talking about all of the generic and whiny wannabe punk bands that are actually just little emo posers that you listen to 1 Quote
