urghh you really don't know what you are talking about do you??? GREEN DAY WAS AROUND IN THE EIGHTIES!!! Duh... in the late eighties, Green Day started! They then released their first album 1039/ smoothed out slappy hours, that is an amazing tape you should listen to it, it sounds nothing like the stuff they are playing now. If you listen to all their albums: Bullet in a Bible, American Idiot, Shenanigans, International Superhits!, Warning, Nimrod., Insomniac, Dookie, Kerplunk, and 1039/smoothed out slappy hours, they all have something different about them. Their idea for American Idiot was to make something new, they wanted it to be like a big "rock opera", Billie Joe said on Vh1 story tellers. American Idiot was just a chance to show they could do something different. Billie Joe, Tre' Cool, and Mike Drnt have been in other bands too, not just Green Day. Give them a break they have came so far from a little 12 year-old garage playing band to touring all over the world. And if you don't like their new stuff try listening to smoothed out slappy hours or warning and then come back and try to come back and tell me that they are crap. I'd like to see you expand from a garage band at the age of 12, to a famous band, they have always been famous... did the music annoy you before? They have been around for a good 20 years already... and they just tried something new, I have no clue why people just notice them a year ago, but they already forgot about them the Green Day revolution is over for all the little preps pretending to be hard core punk!BYE -Steph 13
