Matt is the man but he dont need to be wasting his time with any shitty ass green day song

Green day ruined punk rock?

Yeah, Id have to agree with that to a certain point....but they really didnt do anything that other bands haddnt done.....they just happened to get popular for it.

I mean, if you mean they ruined it as far as the sound (pop punk) there are a ton of other bands that sound damn close to them, and are much older (screeching weasel, buzzcocks, etc.) so they really didnt invent the sound, they just ran with it.

If you mean they ruined it by making it popular, there have been a ton of punk bands that were on major labels before them, they just never caught on to a large crowd since the late 70's. Don't forget, the "holy trinity" of punk rock (clash, the pistols, and the ramones) was on majors their entire career.


I like Greenday, im not a huge fan, Im just sick of every little kid I meet knocking on Greenday when bands like that got them into punk rock.

yea i know what ya mean but it wasnt bands like them that got me into punk it was a band by the name of social distortion

Acoustic Rancid huh? Yeah, they're done. Game over. I didn't think it was possible to get any lower than putting Kelly Osbourne in one of their videos, but I guess wonders never cease.

[social_d_fan01]

yea it is kinda sad to see rancid playing acoustic lets hope they got something else up theirsleeves i would hate to lose rancid all together

Ive never seen Rancid play acoustic live, but I enjoyed seeing the acoustic songs on the Give'em the Boot DVD. These shows at the Echo are showcases for Hellcat Records bands. I think it is cool of Rancid to play these at all, they are helping lesser known bands get exposure, plus tickets if you could get them were only 7 bucks. That makes Rancid pretty cool to me.

[joshroush]

Yeah, how dare they play a guitar thats not plugged in.

Fuckin sell-outs.

Ah, now I remember why I quit posting on internet boards. Because most punks are the most narrow minded hypocrites in music.

Fuck this, see ya.
