Other band quotes on Green Day

Post quotes of other bands talking about GD.
I found some cool facts/quotes by MCR about Green Day:

"Frank Iero admires Billie Joe Armstrong (front man of the punk band Green Day) so much he learned to play guitar by imitating him. He also plans on buying a guitar that looks like Billie Joe's."

"Gerard owns the same color Stratocasters as Billie Joe Armstrong (front man of the smash pop/punk trio Green Day)."

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." - Gerard Way

"Heres a little story. So were on tour with Green Day. And i'm talking to Tre..I think, and he's like "yeah, we just shot this video and its based on the war on Iraq. Its just all war footage." And we were like "fuck." So I went to Billie a week later..or a couple days later and said to him, "hey, I just heard about your new video. But, you see, we just shot this video.." And he was like, "Why don't you come sit with me and i'll show it to you?" So he sat me down and I watched it. I actually almost cried; its a phanomanol video, but I was relieved because our videos are nothing alike. And its was cool because Billie sort of gave us his blessing; he was very happy we were making a statement" - Gerard Way

Jesse Malin thanked Billie Joe and Adrienne in his album booklet for "Glitter In The Gutter"

Yeah..thats all I can find now. I thought it was cool.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet lol

I really like this one. Gerard is so cool.

Yeah, me too. Whenever he says something, its good.

yeah

*sigh* i always get back to talking about Gee.
I swear I have a disease.

Don't worry. I'm the same way with Billie.

me too

If I talk about a person that's not in GD too much, it's gotta be my Mikeykins.♥

johnny rotten said shit on them, i have his interview... do i have to put it here?

LOL, Kristen. Mikeykins. How adorable

Sure, Vale, if you want.

The singer - who performed as JOHNNY ROTTEN - claims the American band has reduced a political movement into a simple musical style.

He says, "Don't try and tell me Green Day are punk. They're not, they're plonk and they're bandwagoning on something they didn't come up with themselves. I think they are phony."

Referring to his band's battle with the police and censors during its heyday, Lydon adds, "The government's against you, the police are on you.

"So there we are fending off all that and it p**ses me off that years later a w**k outfit like Green Day hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves.

"They didn't earn their wings to do that and if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do."

Ooookay. That guy sounds stupid. I don't even know who he is.

the singer of sex pistols. it is a man and considers himself as a punk, he criticizes a lot of people, he thinks he's better than everybody else. he was cool when he was in sex pistols, but now he sucks more than a vampire

Whoa, from The Sex Pistols? Aren't Green Day big fans of them? That really sucks if they heard him say that and our fans of him. They probably hurt them in some way.

Haha, sucks more than a vampire..

OMFG!!!! WHERE IS HE????? I WANNA JUST PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!!! GRRRR!!!!!

But seriously, I fucking hate stupid people that don't know shit about what they're talking about!! It gets me so ticked off. He has no idea how hard Tre, Billie Joe, and Mike worked to get to where they are now! He has no fucking clue! I bet you that Green Day's waaay more punk than they are! Fucking Sex Pistols.

And yeah, Green Day as far as I know are huge fans of them. Way to treat their fans. Everyone clap for the sex pistols! YAY!! The singer is a big asswhole!!! weee! party!!!

-__-

but the guitarist defend them saying that his son was a big fan of them, so he had gone to some of their concerts and they were pretty good

Argh. Still. He should of thought about what he was saying before ranting about how un punk they were.

he criticizes anyone! he is getting a poisoned viper

stupid guy. grrrrrr.

at least the guitarist has a brain lol

LOL.

Another MCR quote on Green Day:

Gerard - "We just finished touring with Green Day ... the nicest 'effing guys in the world. They are so humble .. and so nice, for being the biggest band in the world. We learned so much just by watching them play every night"

Frankie - "My favorite tour, by far. I mean, they were like our older brothers. They let us do whatever we wanted. They were great."

hahahaha "They let us do whatever we wanted" xD

Dude, i so would love to spend a day with Tre, Mike, and Billie. No rules

In that case i should just spend a life time with em! haha

LOL. Agreed!

yepppperooooo!!
