Punk is dead.

The real question: Is Green Day punk enough to be in an Avril Lavigne movie?
/wait, what?

Are they actually making this into a movie, or is it just loose talk at this point?

Since when have "Green Day" and "punk" been appropriately paired in a sentence?

He should be in a G.G. Allen biopic. That would make me smile.

Ex: "Then Green Day grabbed the punk and lit the ceremonial fuse".

Posted too soon before.

I don't hate the dude, I know he was in the Twilight movies, which should be enough to revoke his mancard, but he farking hated the books calling them the author's "strange sex fantasy" or something to that extent.

I'm not sure he's punk enough for Donnie Osmond.

GreenAdder: Would you eat beans while watching George Wendt in a bean-eating movie?

You're persistent.

Oh, it's for the overrated American Idiot rock opera turned musical, which they're now making into a movie. There's only a few acts to pull off the rock opera thing, and Green Day isn't one of them.

The Who, Savatage and Granddaddy are the ones that leap to mind.

wait what?

this turns my notions on its head.

1. I thought Suicide wasn't around until the mid to late 70's.
2. I thought the term 'punk' was coined in relation to a type of music in 1975 in Peter Hammill's liner notes for his album "Nadir's Big Chance"


/but having just read their wiki, i stand corrected:
They were the first band to use the term punk to describe themselves, which they had adopted from an article by Lester Bangs. Some of their earliest posters use the terms "punk music" and "punk music mass".
Years active 1970-present

Yes she's a poser. Yes, she can pose all over my face.

He's punk enough for an Oz movie.
/Schillenger burning a swastika on his ass would make me cough up 12 bucks.

Lavigne isn't the real thing but she's a decent vocalist and she's more legitimate that most of the Pop charts. I don't pay her much attention but she's fine by my books.

/and to reference elvindeath "she can pose all over my face."

yeah, who woulve thought lewdux did something else aside from defending Lady Gaga... but it seems that 1970 is correct, although being part of the "new york underground art scene"can have a pretty broad meaning,.... And it is either sad or a show of persistance that it took them SEVEN YEARS to release their first album

but what a great album it is

No, no they're not.

Marisyana: It wasn't horrible--everybody sang well

THEN IT'S NOT PUNK!

OH FARKING SNAAAAP lol

you know who else was part of the new york underground art scene?
No, not Hitler. The Velvet Underground.

And it is either sad or a show of persistance that it took them SEVEN YEARS to release their first album


indeed. I wonder if it took them that long to come up with songs, maybe they toured them extensively first.
or maybe record label after record label turned them down and it took 7 years for one to say yes.

good lord, if their debut was released in 1971 instead of 1977..... that would've been mindblowingly ahead of their time.
like a American "Krautrock" type band. (ie. Can, Kraftwerk)

that made me lol.... but yeah, maybe so... did you ever hear that extra cd that comes with their first album? They open for elvis Costello somewhere in Germany and the crowd gets increasingly hostile... yeah, this band is not everybody's cup of tea

Marisyana: LectertheChef: Oh, it's for the overrated American Idiot rock opera turned musical, which they're now making into a movie. There's only a few acts to pull off the rock opera thing, and Green Day isn't one of them.

Sadly I saw the musical last year as my husband farking adores the American Idiot album and insisted we go when we went to New York last year. We didn't even get the main cast as it was being all punk as fark and performing on that super-edgy America's Got Talent show. It wasn't horrible--everybody sang well--but there wasn't really anything resembling a plot. It was basically a well-done karaoke, complete with the main character using Billie Joe Armstrong's fake British singing accent.

/do you have the time to listen to me whine?
//uh, no, not really

To be fair, the album itself doesn't really have a plot either. Guy lives in the suburbs and is bored of his life so he moves out to the city. He does some random stuff in the city, gets bored again, and moves back to the suburbs. That's about it.

/still a great album though
//just not a punk album

green day isn't punk enough for ....


whatever.


/cheesy pop by guys who can barely play
//or count to four

Sparkle Punk... just what the world needs.

Funny you say that, I spent a good hour listening to Suicide (first album) on youtube.
And yup, I listened to "23 Minutes Over Brussels". I don't know who to feel worse for. the audience or Suicide.
It was pretty out-there to have them open for Elvis.... i bet that the audience didn't expect something like Suicide to be the opening act, or at the very least know who they were. it sounded like there was a few american dudes in the audience by the recorder (audience recording) who clapped and shouted enthusiasm at Suicide, even some English chap, that was nice. The rest of the audienceseemed to boooooo and jeer the whole time between songs. they even chanted "ELVIS ELVIS ELVIS" during a song or two. Meanwhile poor Suicide was just trying to play their music for the people :(
Towards the end, somebody stole one of the two Suicide guys' mic and the vocalist verbally abused the audience and pleaded with them to give it back. (they wanted to play "frankie teardrop').
An american guy asks "What happened?" and the british bloke replies " they stole their f***ing microphone, that's what's f****ing happened!!"
I think they gave up and ran off stage in a huff, judging from the mic not being given back, and a loud cheering and "YAY" from the audience then the tape stops.

supposedly Elvis Costello played a quick, angry set and left early, which incited a riot.

MagSeven: He's punk enough for an Oz movie.
/Schillenger burning a swastika on his ass would make me cough up 12 bucks.

I thought I had successfully blocked that image out of my life, but thank you very much for bringing it rampaging back.

Green Day? They're STILL around? I assumed they'd wanked their way into obscurity by now.

He isn't even punk enough for a Neal Diamond movie....
