Glad I'm not one but a bit worried that there is one in high office now!:eek:
Interesting to note that most of the rest of the world seems rather unhappy about it.

" Don't want to be an American Idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
Can You here the sound of hysteria
The subliminal mindf**k america
Welcome to the new King of tension
All across the Alienation
where everything isn't meant to be ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
were not the ones meant to follow
for thats enough to argue
Maybe I'm the f*****America
I'm not a part of the red neck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
and sing along to the age of Paranoia
Don't want to be an American Idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Calling out to idiot America."
Green Day said it best!
But then I'm not one Phew
Is it a coincedence this song was very high in the Euro top 20 the other week?
-
You're from the UK, so you aren't an American idiot.
-
Yup it's a catchy little' bubble gum pop song. Can't believe people consider Green Day punk. They are about as top 40 as Brit. Spears.
Good tune tho'
-
Thank goodness! Not all of them are either just the ones who let that fool in again!

A superficial, artlessly-executed song by a band well past its prime.
They need to bite the bullet and start writing jingles for Volvo commercials.

This one, is lost out at Sea and Delusional to boot, must be mental disorder caused by dehydration, or pure jealousy.
this man needs lots of pills.....:cool:

:rolleyes: :lol :rofl

I like the song, but not because of its content.... its just catchy.

Not liking this song=craziness?
I didn't realize that faith in Greenday's brilliance was a universal constant. Must have missed the memo.
As for jealousy, I think I'll reserve mine for those with enduring talent, not just an enduring fan-base. I used to be one of them, actually, years ago. Now I think they're tired and silly. With this song at least, they certainly seem to be riding the wave of popular sentiments generally held by the demographic to which they've historically appealed. Given some thought, they may have been able to make it sound good. Instead they just took a bunch of cliches and duct-taped them together with some distorted guitar.
Dehydration can cause hallucinations, which are temporary in nature because prolonged dehydration will inevitably lead to death. Mental disorders are either lengthy or permanent deviations from established norms--generally inborn or products of altered body chemistry. Pills can aid stability in certain cases, but they can also worsten the situation.
Let me know if you want a lesson in the proper use of capital letters.

good try at masking your jealousy....
NEXT!!!!!

Not sure what to even say about this bit of insight. Wow, thanks, really it so refreshing to meet a condescending euro these days. You really need to put some patronizing verbage in there as well.
And you wonder why we ignore you.

Green Day named themselves after a day you spent laying around, smoking green bud. This is your prophet?

Cheers SLO. Hope you're in a better mood tomorrow.

hum.
Need to hear before a buy.

Agree with WMlute on this -
Punk ain't gonna be found anywhere near Greenday or the whole lot of their peers in the genre.
I've seen more punk come outta the underground americana scene.....

poor poor tinpot! is that a tear I see? holed up in his room with a green day cd on his euro puny player and looking at old vhs speeches by michelle moore on his 19" taxed to the hilt TV.
Clutching his cricket paddle thing while hiding under the bed in case a burglar comes.
hey! I bet I could write song lyrics too!
boyh them world leaders are two faced. They are all praising Bush right now... listening to them you would think they loved us.... good thing we have tinpot to set the "record" straight eh?

oops, that meant to be song lyrics (aimed really at modern pop/rock etc.) not music in general.

Nah, got to go to DC during that weekend for a conference. Rather go the show. Gonna miss the race at Darlington too and I've got tickets. Guess its my brother's lucky day.

Well, Greenday's last album sucked donkey balls. And they wanted to get across a point so they went back to their old style of playing. The new album is really good.

green day sucked doogie ten years ago, they suck just the same today. sellouts is all they are, went for the big money now they are just cashing in like fat corporate pigs. hypocrits.
-
It's brilliant marketing. Cash in on the anti-Bush craze before it dies out. John Stewart is making a mint off this. Very shrewd business decision.

You probably didnt hear these guys http://www.rammstein.de/ and their song "America"
Its most funny clip ever

Just did and its bloody goodthough my Deutch is a little shakey.
I note that " Amerika is Wumderbar " is irony.
Have you heard New Model Army's 51state.
Heres the Lyrics
51ST STATE
(Cartwright/NMA) 1979/85
Look out of your windows, watch the skies
Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes
We're W.A.S.Ps, proud American sons
We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun
We're the 51st state of America
Our star-spangled Union Jack flutters so proud
Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd
Tip your hat to the Yankee conqueror
We've got no reds under the bed with guns under our pillows
We're the 51st state of America
Here in the land of opportunity, watch us revel in our liberty
You can say what you like but it doesn't change anything
Because the corridors of power are an ocean away
We're the 51st state of America

More true of our nation now than ever I think! Sad realy but hey .

Sounds a bit cranky but he does seem to have a point. Probably upset a few of our American Cousins but hey! Thats what a good debate is all about isn't it?
-
i dont know if you noted it but whole lyric by rammstein is writen in rhyne. Sister`s husband went rofl , when he heared it. There are some cool jokes, whitch non german speaking ppl can not notice...i.e. they sing with bad foreigners accent and so on :)
and Mickey mouse stand in front of Paris :D
man you must see v. clip, that song have soo funny video clip
-
It's a song about how american culture permeates european society to a high degree. "we're all living in america"
If one doesn't like american cultural influence in his country, who's to blame? His countrymen, or americans ?
-
:rofl
Yes Very Good.
:rofl
Think I might have to add that one to my collection.
Wonder if Amerika has realy noticed yet that the rest of the world is losing its love affair with their cultural imperialism.?

Since it has never been our intention, and most americans don't even know about it. We really don't care.
-
Nope guess you don't mean to do it and its probably because some of the stuff is great.
Thing is it frightens me that the world is polarising again.
Think its time for us all to think a bit more globaly.

Not sure I understand what you mean with your question.
Most people will attribute your indirectness as result of a lack of confidence of your position.

dont you feel bad , that Blue2 got it and you didnt ?
-
Are you afraid to tell me?
I observe your inderection and you respond with evasion.
Deliberately ambiguous statements are indicative of two things. Either you are not confident of your point, or you truly lack the mental faculty to communicate it.
-
Oim sooo dumb!
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rofl
-
lol did you study psychology at school or self study ?
-
It's not psychology, it's basic logic. I'm just ill suited for communicating with the maladjusted. If you've go something to say, be a man and say it. Don't run from questions.
-
well since you are the only one who didnt get it, may be you should work on yourself... gl :)
-
Well you've certainly showed us that you're a straight talking guy who knows what he's talking about and isn't afraid to say it. Nobody would dare question your integrity now.

A long, long time ago,
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile,
and I knew if I had my chance,
that I could make those people dance,
and maybe they'd be happy for a while...
Still don't know what that song means....
-
blue... is there something fundamentaly wrong with learning dental hygene or how to use a firearm?
lazs
-
Nothing wrong with that.
Why do I need to learn to use a gun?
I'm not in, or intending to Join the Army and I can't remember the last time I even saw one other than in a museum or on TV.
People do get shot here sadly but usualy its criminals shooting other criminals. Innocent people get hit in the crossfire!
Either way we haven't exactly got a gun problem here. Just a few incedents in the citys hyped up by the press.
Nice Country overall You should try it.

Er... Jon has talent, GD has makeup.

I never cared for this band, even when Dookie came out. I just think they are overrated. It has now become fashionable to bash Bush. I still say they suck.

Greenday should have left it alone after the quality album 'Dookie'
now that was good teeny-bopper seudo-punk!
As far as I see now, they are morons.
Cant they see that the USA is actually alot more down to earth and 'Free' than many opther idiotic governments.
Sure USA gets alot of stick from the 'war', but only because they are the 'big boy' on the block.
Everyone is jealous, and it shows. Its very sad.
And i am brittish.
That being said, having such a large population, America also has a huge amount of 'american idiots'.
All countries have their sheep and those who carry themselves along in a moronic fashion. the ratio of said idiots is roughly equal the world over unfortunately.
Natural selection is dead, Evolution is halted, or possibly just altered.
The human race is over and we all lost.
better start a new one soon, or we will go the same way as so many exstinct creatures.
I give us 200,000 years tops.

Tinpot did rather well. He's started something.
Where is he ? He's not posted for a while!?
-
I picked up American Idiot this week. It is by far the best rock album I have heard in 3-4 years.
-
Blimey resurrection special!
-
it is a very good album.
Especially love tracks-
3. Holiday
4. Boulevard of Broken Dreams
11. Wake me up when september ends
-
i like #2 myself.. it has like 4 names tho and i cant remember any of them
one thing i like bout green day is that they're consistant. the cds they release dont tend to have that filler crap like some bands do.. i can listen to their stuff all the way through and even sometimes leave it in to start from track 1. still do that with dookie all the time
they're awesome in concert, too!
-
Zulu was Tinpot your first alias or were there any others?

Strange. Same thing here, including favourite tracks. Even before digging into lyrics, you know, it's hard for me to understand English lyrics orally. I think I understand only the Beatles completely, but it's mostly because I learned all their songs by heart 15-20 years ago...
It's interesting to listen to Green Day's "conceptual album", after their cynic short songs from Dookie and other records.

The song is an ode to Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens who died together in a plane crash.

Thought that looked familiar... American Pie.
