Has anyone seen the video yet? The IFilm version is 12 mins. long, b/c of some cutscenes, but beside from the length, I thought the video rocked. It's filled with, sex, drugs, love, hate, betrayal, and lots of other interesting dramatics for any Green Day fan. Comment.

[snowboarder]

Oh yeah, and some wannabe punk life portrait, with poseur emo kids and fat chicks....gotta love it.

[HELLonWHEELS]

i haven't seen it yet post the link. i though they were cutting the song down for MTV?? :-40:

[360degrees]

wow, another shitty green day video...

[falloffboy101]

^Ditto. Greener Day used to be good. Underground = Good. Mainstream = Bad. Now don't get me wrong, some of their old stuff is good. But they've sold out.

[LoveMetalSk8er]

yeah simon youre right. I do like the AI (american idiot) album to some extent, but i like the older green day more. I don't think theyre sellouts tho IMO

btw, HELLonWHEELS, http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2682403 and yeh they cut it down b/c mtv cant handle a 9 or 12 minute video so whatever

[falloffboy101]

Woah I've never been called by my real name by someone who I haven't talked to ever on RR before. I hate this whole 'Punk' attitude they have now. The whole idea of 'Punk' has gone so many different ways I can't seem to figure out what is and what isn't. I'm not saying I'm a Punk, but I'm just saying that what I've always believed in isn't around now. Snaker might be able to back me up on this. Or shove it in my face humiliatingly.

[360degrees]

Punk WAS Pistols...always will be them too

[falloffboy101]

Yeah, the Pistols were the punk band to like. And still are...

[rustyburrito55]

falloffboy I agree with everything you have said in this thread. I little while ago I was kind of ashamed to like Green Day just because of this new album and stuff. NoFX wrote the first "rock opera" anyway (The Decline) yet Green Day gets all this credit fro creating that idea.

[HELLonWHEELS]

Th video was amazing it really did touch me how the dude reforms at the end. It was a little bit lengthy up to Dearly bloved. I though it was one of green days best

[bmmetcalf]

Once again I post.....I dislike bands that wear mascarra.

[Craig Himself]

I hated the English flag in the background of that guy's room. Damn...

The video was interesting, but I got bored of some of it. Just doesn't go with it too well. No matter how hard GD try nowadays, they'll never be as good as they used to be.

greenday r still good, u cant say that there not punk, they have lived a punk lifesyle, there music may change but they are still punks, not because someone says so, its just the way they have lived, punk is whatever u make, they never sold out, they just became popular, they never sold themselves to some major company, u shouldnt judge a band without knowing the people

[HELLonWHEELS]

IN this song you got look deeper not just at surface watch it again and try to find why green day made this video. They don't need the money they are trying to get a message acroos.

I thought it was The Who or The Doors taht created the first rock opera.... i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that it was The Who

[HailToTheThief]

Punk WAS PistolsNo, the punk image/trend was Pistols

greenday r still good, u cant say that there not punk, they have lived a punk lifesyle, there music may change but they are still punks, not because someone says so, its just the way they have lived, punk is whatever u make, they never sold out, they just became popular, they never sold themselves to some major company, u shouldnt judge a band without knowing the people They are not punk. They are on Reprise Records, apparently, Reprise being a subsidiary of WB, which is about as major as a company gets.
And it shouldn't take much of a guess as to why they went on that label, they wanted more money. And you know what the strange coincidence is, they aren't the pop-punk band they used to be, now they're mtv rock stars. You think the two are related, perhaps ?
And you don't know them, so your opinion is just as useless as you say his is.

IN this song you got look deeper not just at surface watch it again and try to find why green day made this video. They don't need the money they are trying to get a message acroos.I've read about what the songs on this album are supposed to mean from many people on songmeanings.com, and it's kinda juvenile and silly, honestly

and yes, the Who are credited with the first "rock opera".

[evil menace]

u cant say a band is not punk coz they want to make money, its there job u idiot, they would still do it if there was no money, they invented pop-punk, they are what made other punk bands who they are

[R-dude]

i really can't think of a witty comment to your above post so i'm just gonna tell the truth and say that i uhm, disagree with every single thing in that post of yours. though this thread is making me wonder what the hell the real definition of "punk" really is these days. Some people tell me its a sort of musical freedom, early 70's history tells me it was used to refer to 60's garage rock bands and other people tell me that its a political view to the world...gets confusing

[Blind Sheppard]

u cant say a band is not punk coz they want to make money, its there job u idiot, they would still do it if there was no money, they invented pop-punk, they are what made other punk bands who they are
Name a modern punk band influenced by Shit Day, and by punk i mean something decent not Blink or Sum 41. What punk lifestyle have they lived.

[LoveMetalSk8er]

Woah I've never been called by my real name by someone who I haven't talked to ever on RR before.

we've talked on msn before, but w/e

[HELLonWHEELS]

and yes, the Who are credited with the first "rock opera".
The Who didn't do it in one song thought it was the album that was the "rock opera". Led Zeppelin was the first to do it one song i think. Im not 100% on this one

Punks? you MUST be kidding...because around here punks have no home, live in the streets or squat, make blowjobs in park at night to pay for their heroin and usually die at around 22 years old.

[360degrees]

Green Day were closest to punk with the albums before Dookie (not so bad album) then they tried to gte MORE punk and got less punk...

[HELLonWHEELS]

Did you even watch the whole video your getting of subject.

[FoosBall Skater]

Lets just leave it at this. Green day sucks major nutsack.

[Eyehategod]

Greenday is a bunch of pussy bitches that call themselves punk, all their songs sound the same, most of there fans are prepubecent girls that dont know what music is, and if anyone were to call them punk, then they must be ****ing out of their minds.

Yeah.... Greenday sucks hard lol

[bmmetcalf]

Ok who cares if thier punk or not. You guys are acting like the ICP fans who go Im more Juggalet (spelling).

I belive Greendays is mainstream and you only like them bc you want to be kewl and fit in. You probaly never heard thier earlier albums but yet still obbsessed with this band. You dont know them. You would probaly suck thier dicks if you ever got the chance. So here is the point im getting at.........get a life and not somebody elses.
