Does he sing with a British accent in this band too?

Call it garage rock or whatever, the Foxboro Hot Tubs album is everything that makes for great rock and roll, and puts most of what’s on the charts today to shame. Green Day started as a punk band but evolved into one of the best bands around.
I’m guessing most of the critics above probably listen to the latest Radiohead because it’s “complicated” and hip to like them these days, but honestly the last few Radiohead albums bore me to tears. Foxboro makes me want to dance and shout. And THAT’S rock and roll.

green day is terrible

Green Day are the best band of the world!!

And Foxboro are great! I can´t wait for them to come to Europe soon.

Why do I need eye liner to be cool?

If you don’t like Green Day, then why would you bother to read this? This would be pointless and time wasting to read Green Day when the information is unimportant for you to know, or comenting on the review… that’s as stupid as me reading a review of the Jonas Bros.

The truth is, if you think they suck SOOO much, then why do they have MILLIONS of fans in the US alone?
And to Bukowski, yes, Dookie DOES mean “shit”….But, it doesn’t mean that the album is a piece of it. It happens to be a GREAT album and several million fans think so. So if you comment on how bad you THINK Green Day is, you’re about to get yelled at by the fans, ESPECIALLY if you comment on a pro-Green Day page.
This review was a great one. Thank you to who wrote it!

green days live show speaks for itself. whether it’s green day/the network/foxboro hot tubs if you see them live you will be blown away. and seriously alfredo we’ve been hearing lame asses like yourself say there’s more than 3 chords out there for years and personally pearl jam has no personality. it’s all the same i mean it’s grunge, where’s my flannel

Props for the Christmas Vacation reference.

Bukowski, I am giving you a high 5 from across the water.

All you other guys need to realise there’s more than three chords out there. Green Day made one ‘goodish’ album, then a pile of ‘dookie’ and then a lame ass concept album. Pearl Jam made
Ten, then Vs and then came back a few years later with Yield.
Game over man, game over.

Everyone that has anything negative to say about Green Day always says the same things. Probably because after all this time they still can’t come up with anything else. Yes, we’ve all heard you like their old stuff only, oldassdeadband is better, they aren’t punk anymore.. blah blah blah. The fact is, Green Day is and will always be one of the greatest bands of our time, if not the greatest. The little bands out now days that grew up on their music and now steadily collect their money and keep their distance from the fans they claim they can relate to, couldn’t ever dream to put on a show as spectacular as the one I seen in Dallas. It was a life changing experience for me, and I’ve heard the same from many others. Like my eyes had finally been opened and I took a big step back realizing.. “so this is how it’s supposed to be done?” As for the boys, they were all amazing and took the time to sign autographs for everyone before and after the show. The show itself was more like a huge party with all of your favorite people in the world. Not like a ton of fans kept back with a barricade while a whiny band dances around trying to be cool. Billie Joe interacted with everyone in the audience, crowd surfing, hugging, kissing all his fans. Can you name one of your precious little supposedly-better-than-green-d ay bands that does that? Green Day is doing something that no one else in music is doing today; giving back to the fans. They are the only grammy award winning world famous band I know that are playing 300 capacity clubs when they could be playing arenas. They aren’t doing this for the money. If they were they wouldn’t be trying to keep these shows low-key. Even if you aren’t a fan, I think that’s something that deserves to be respected. Especially in the greedy way the industry works now days. It makes me really think hard about what a real musician is. In fact, I’m supposed to be at a show right now, but decided that a small band that charges their fans to meet them really aren’t worth my time. My point is, like them are not, Green Day is a truly exceptional band who deserve a little credit for giving every person at every one of their shows the night of a lifetime.

“Dookie” means “shit” doesn’t it?

The title of their first album was the only thing this band ever got right!

WOAH.. WHAT!?? “a great singles band but a horrible albums band” ?? u must be deaf. Have you heard Dookie ? have you heard 1,039 smoothed out slappy hours ?? or kerplunk or nimrod or insomniac or even warning ? evry single song on those albums are awesome!

i knooooooooow, thats just ur opinion, i dont mean any offence. this is my opinion.
and in my opinion i love every single song on every single album they ever made (including FHT’s) .. even shenanigans, which is just covers and b sides. if you listen to it a couple of times the songs grow on you

Don’t care much for the side project. NOt a big green day fan. I think they, like alot of bands, are a good singles band, but a horrible album band in the sense that they leave too much filler on the album. It gets to the point where you don’t even want to bother. American Idiot really changed the way i viewed the band but i’ll tell you that i listened to the first four singles before taking the gamble to buy it and it’s one of my favorite albums now. I hope the follow up is as good or better.

I could care less about the lame politics of Green Day or Pearl Jam…. Green Day has the better songs and better melodies.

Love them as Green Day, like them as Foxboro Hot Tubs. You have to actually see the show to have a valid point of view that people respect. Saw the show in another state, thought it was great.

All of you haters are pathetic and look like jealous douchebags. FACT is green day and their side projects are incredibly refreshing, real and great and whats hard to beleive is their live performances are even more amazing. All the hating isnt going to change this and only makes the haters look ridiculously jealous and pathetic.

why are you guys arguing over nothing. here’s how it is..

bush is an idiot we all know that.

green day got made over and started wearing make up.

pearl jam are ace but need to make a great album (something thats been missing for the last few years)

I like Pearl Jam too man, but nobody in the music industry has really given a crap about Pearl Jam for about a decade. So sure, maybe your right: Bushleaguer was out before American Idiot, but no one cared. People didn’t pay attention. Green Day was the first band that did it and got attention, so know your stuff you genius.

vedder :
well, millions of people love what you call “crap”

and again, to all the haters, why are you wasting your time reading something you dont like reading about. If you hate Green Day fine, thats your opinion. but if you hate them then stop reading about them!

Yeah but that song sucks. American Idiot was a complete start-to-finish Grammy winning middle finger to Bush, not one verse of one song nobody’s heard of, big difference.

yes, but you fail to understand that pearl jam sucks. and that anti-bush green day record is heinously overrated.

didn’t radiohead put out ‘Hail to the theif’ before any of you butt clowns.

And i’m pretty sure the dixie chicks threw their little hissy fit before green day did as well.

immense!
shut up about pearl jam
what a shit band pearl jam were
eugh
green day ftw

I can’t believe this comment from Idiot “in many ways they led the way for mainstream bands to take on the President”.

How about a little band named Pearl Jam? The song Bushleaguer was out years before American Idiot. Green Day is a 3 chord Good Charlotte. In other words. Crap!

You have to be kidding w/ this comment from Idiot “in many ways they led the way for mainstream bands to take on the President”.

I Green Day sono la migliore band della storia!!! Altro che venduti…

STOP TALKING POLITICS
..talk about how awesome they are =D

and to superlame, you are super-lame
if u hate green day then why are u reading about them. huh ? huh ??
F.O.D =)

Green Day is in -my opinion- THE best band ever because whatever cd of theirs you listen to, every single freaking song rocks, you never have to forward or skip. and not only do they have catchy tunes but the lyrics actually have meaning! not like those bands who just put in any words that rhyme.

There is meaning behind everything.

I wanted to comment,no need anymore “Idiot” did it for me.
Thank you
Green Day rock - hard!

whether or not YOU like green day/foxboro hot tubs/the network, they must be doing something right, because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be around and they wouldn’t have MILLIONS of fans.

I was at the front of the austin show, and even if the music was crap (which is absolutely wasn’t), it still would have been the best concert ever. their on stage energy is undeniable. amazing night.

green day rocks, and peopel like James is just “stoopid.” why didn’t they get on the anti-bush wagon back in ‘95??? well, teh WTC didn’t fall until 2001…and bush showed what an american idiot he was with how he reacted to that.
Green Day is the best concert i have ever attended. you get your money’s worth at thier show. LONG LIVE GREEN DAY! and yes, superlame sucks too.

Green Day have been protesting about stuff from right back when they started getting well-known in 1994. They’ve been involved with Food Not Bombs, the Berkeley Free Clinic, Homeless charities etc since way back then. When they released American Idiot, it was still in the shadow of The Dixie Chicks fallout - bashing Bush had not become popular yet…in many ways they led the way for mainstream bands to take on the President.

How many other bands with one of the top selling albums of the last few years have returned to play tiny intimate gigs with an unheralded side-project. How many bands even have such strong roots to go back to?

People always bash Green Day, but they are one of the defining bands of our time and will be remembered long after many others are forgotten. Billie Joe Armstrong will have his place in history as one of the most consistently talented songwriters of his generation.

(And Boulevard of Broken Dreams really isn’t very much like Wonderwall…it’s considerably better)

Green Day was bigger if not better during the Clinton years so to say they were only popular with American Idiot is stupid.

Also they are not Clash-lite, which should be a badge of honor. They are closer to the Bay Area counterparts like Rancid and Operation Ivy or even The Ramones than the Clash. The Clash had songs that experimented with reggae, folk, and hip-hop with much more politically aware songwriting.

I wish them luck. I hope this is as successful and good as their other alter ego band The Network.

comparing green day to oasis is ridiculous. the gallagher brothers can bit me (im sure your pretentious ass will correct the spelling). i thought super elitist snobs like yourself stopped giving green day grief, oh, around 97. get over it, they’re good, your not……

Green Day are, and always will be, Clash-lite.

Someone else commented everything they touch turns to gold. Because music is all about hype and mediocrity now; just because Green Day are way better than their pop-punk peers and the emo groups doesnt mean they’re great nor do high album sales. One of their biggest hits since 2000 was a blatant rewrite of a hit Oasis song less than 10 years later (”Boulevard of Broken Dreams”).

Knowing how to sell records shows industry/commercial savvy not talent.

Green Day is lame. They cashed in while Bush was in the white house. Why weren’t they protesting in 1995? Freaking lame.

I went to the Foxboro Hot Tubs concert in Dallas and it was rockin’ the house. It was soooo amazing to see them so up-close and personal. It was the time of my life. Green Day rules and rocks!It was the best concert that I have ever gone to.

Everything these guys touch turns to gold, they are really just now hitting their prime. Funny how their little goof-off side project is still better than anything on the radio, even though that’s not saying a lot.

It’s fascinating how Green Day can raise the venom level in some.
They’re a pop punk band, which is kinda like ripping on a boy band–way too obvious.
How many other punk bands have sustained this long of a life-cycle in mainstream music? I’d still rather listen to NOFX or Bad Religion any day, but props to a niche band that can outlive the shelf-life of the fad they rode in on…

more popular than jesus, but green day rocks harder

“Superlame” obviously didn’t attend the show.

amen to that superlame

Green Day makes albums that people want to listen to.

Superlame sucks regardless of the fitting name he gave himself.
