Green Day a big band?? | Forums

Oh God - this thread is dumb.
At the risk of driving the whole relativist thing into the ground - maybe they're not big, or maybe they're just far away...

@Toy:
Meh, I guess not. I still think AC/DC's Guitar Solos and riffs would make the songs more fun to play than Green Days' though Or at least for me they would.

Bassists are people too

^ Fair enough, I can't disagree with that.

I hope they have Panic Song. Any aspiring bassists who want to practice some speed and rhythm would have to go no further. One note, real fast, real long.

...and for modern bands, Green Day is pretty big.

Green Day is real music. How old are you? 65?

Also AC/DC is boring, I'd rather play one Green Day song from Dookie than 5 4/4 time, 3 chord, AC/DC songs...

Let's compare the chords and solos in this song to the whole Dookie album. Oh that's right, there are no solos in Green Day's stuff. Toy, you know I respect you as an individual and you have the right to your own opinion. That said, you really don't listen to AC/DC to make a statement like that. Let's see you figure these chords out by ear. There's a lot more than 3, and each guitar uses a different voicing. I'll have the whole Dookie album done in one listen. I did it once already. Green Day made pop punk huge, and I think their lyrics are incredibly insightful and American Idiot is a brilliant message. The same could be said for South Park, but no one is going to argue that their cartoon art is better than Disney.

I sincerely hope you guys enjoy the Green Day experience. I'm going to enjoy the week with Band Fuse.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud.
I'm not a fan of the Doors, but that is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard on this forum yet.
How old are you? Two?

I'm 21. I was trying to state how idiotic the OP was for thinking Green Day was not a big band.

Who cares..
Some like it, some don't, that's the beauty of music...
