Ok I have to admit that I just now bought this CD. I'm HOOKED!! The whole freaking CD kicks butt. I loved Green Day a lot back when I was in college...1993-1997, but they sort of dropped off my fav list for a bit. They are back now!!! I've got the CD playing in my office right now and when the kids come in, they all know who it is and they think I'm "so cool" bc I listen to Green Day!! I can only imagine how much fun their concerts are. |

I've been to concerts of over 20 different artists, and I have to say Green Day's was definitely one of a kind. Due to the rise of ticket prices, I usually think twice about going to see an artist more than once. In Green Day's case I have to say that I can't wait to see them again. I was so hyper at that concert at Giants Stadium that I even got into the mosh pit once. I think what made the concert more memorable was the fact that never before I've been that close to the stage. I was less than 40 feet from Billie Joe Armstrong, and it was absolutely amazing to see the guys come on stage with everyone else around you screaming like maniacs. I really hope they release the Milton Keynes DVD soon. |

I love American Idiot, but I'm not into their older music that much...I've never said that before, though - I'm afraid of the crazy fangirls that would love to crucify me for that... The concert sounds great, though...I've talked to a few people that went and they all say it was awesome! |
| Forever88 20.09.2005 19:10 |
I love Holiday...yar. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 20.09.2005 19:17 |
Same here. I'm so glad it wasn't overplayed here like they did to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams...the radio murdered that song. |

The DVD is out on November 15th and is called Bullet in a Bible. |

I've been listening to those guys since 'Dookie', and lots of people might tell you that 'Dookie' was their best album, but honestly speaking Green Day has gotten better on every album they've put out ever since. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 21.09.2005 19:49 |
Yeah, I mean, I listened to Dookie and it was good, but American Idiot's in a league of its own. It stood out so much from everything else out at the time and they weren't afraid at all to say what needed to be said. But then, of course, you get all the crazies going on about them selling out because Boulevard Of Broken Dreams gets played every four seconds... |

I listened to American Idiot for three months solid when I first got it. I'm trying my damndest to learn all the songs on guitar. I think they're dangerously close to becoming my second favourite band. |

Ahhh Green Day... brings back some memorys for me. Have listened to them since I was in Elementary school. It seems wierd that they are still together after all these years. They are still just as good as they were in 92/93. They did go threw a few rough albums .. but I believe all bands do in some stage in their career (Queen - Hot Space, The Works.). But Im glad they have put out a few good ones within the last decade. Time of your life is another good song from a prior album. Alot of the problem with some of these recent songs ...maybe its just me and the area where I live but songs like Time of your life , and Wake me up when september ends , even when I come around or basket case they tend to get overplayed. But I still like em and I for one will never get tired of em. |

Just about every single band has them. - Green Day fans pissed off because they've moved away from underground punk, and then tried to mix different rock elements to make a punk opera. In a musical sense, that's call maturing. - Metallica fans pissed off because they got tired of making hardcore metal songs over 7 minutes long with endless guitar solos and rather wanted to make a metal album that would appeal to just about everyone (The Black Album). - Queen fans pissed off because they didn't do any more glam rock over the top songs during the 80s. I actually wished that they did a few more songs like that, but at the same time I'm not dissapointed with the musical direction they decided to take. |

I've always liked Green Day, but I've never been a 'fan' as such. In june Iwent with my wife (who loves them) and a couple of friends to see them at Milton Keynes Bowl, and to be honest I was amazed. Billy Joe Armstrong is a frontman up there with Freddie, Ian Curtis and Bono in terms of being able to manipulate an audience. The whole band was virtually note perfect, and they managed to involve audience participation to a huge extent without it once seeming cheesy! Then to my surprise, that gig was voted the best gig ever by readers of Kerrang Magazine. If they are bringing it out on DVD, that will definitely be one for the collection. |
