Corrosion of conformity Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Huh? I always liked the Monkees....... Mickey was my favorite. Pop Bands are fun. Huh?

Murph Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Music is chords played rhythmically. Everything else is embellishment. ? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Green day and the Offspring provided the soundtrack of their lives for a lot of people, I was not part of that generation but I like both bands OK. Green Day grew up and their songwriting is more complex, problem is (for some people) that is not what they liked about them to begin with, other people don't like them for their obviously liberal lyrics but that does not mean the songwriting is bad IMO. I personally am not going to pretend I could write and play songs as good as they do. Chords are enough for me, not all the time but when I am in the mood I do not mind a power chord extravaganza. I listen to the Ramones and feel damn good about it. I listen to John Lee Hooker and feel good about that too. I don't know the answer if there is one, but if some music does not move you does not mean that music is "wrong". I am sure Billy Joe and Noodles play the blues when they are jamming with friends. I bet they both can shred on the guitar but simply don't do it in their songs since it does not fit the style of their respective recording bands.

retrosurfer1959 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I actually like Green Day - Billy Joe's never gonna be my favorite guitarist but Hell you gotaa respect both the skill and success and I was impressed by American Idiot and the quality and uniqueness off a modern rock opera and apparently at least 14 million other people liked Green Day and Jesus of Suburbia well enough to buy AI. Also the whole album wash Gibson and Marshall so what's not to like. Sorry Murph I usually stay out of your periodic chemical induced rants, but this one on Green Day had some interesting comments from others.

Corrosion of conformity Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The great thing about it is the Beatles, Skynard, Grand Funk, etc. never go away. Our generation gets to enjoy those bands and Green Day, the Offspring, and the other bands I'm sure Murph's too good for. People like Murph are too stuck in their closed minds to appreciate modern music along with the old stuff. You can't be angry forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 What I've encountered in younger players and music lovers is that they aren't pigeonholed into a favorite genre, group, or time period. So many youngsters are into everything from Green Day to Skynyrd, Jeff Beck to Buckethead, Willie Dixon to Stevie Ray to Bonnamasa (sp?), Billy Holiday to Linda Ronstadt to No Doubt. It's hard to stump the kids today, they can hear it all when they want. I find it refreshing. I "Blame" it on Satellite radio and MP3 Players. {Edit} The great thing about it is the Beatles' date=' Skynard, Grand Funk, etc. never go away. Our generation gets to enjoy those bands [i']and[/i] Green Day, the Offspring, and the other bands I'm sure Murph's too good for.

I grew up with The Beatles' date=' Skynyrd, Grand Funk, ect....... All you get is Green Day, and The Offspring....... Period..... What a shame..... It's no wonder you are so confused....... Let's see, I started on Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Perry Como and Pete Seger, Elvis and the Everlys. Then I moved on to the Beatles, Stones, Zepplin, The Who, Cream, Skynard, grand funk, the dead..., then came The Ramones, Aerosmith, Yes, U2, Van Halen, GNR, Styx, Metallica, Dead Kennedys... I moved on to REM, RHCP, Nirvana, The Offspring, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Dave Mathews Band, Blink 182, and Linkin Park ... I'm sure there are a few more there too. Based on my parents ages (they'll make it to their 90's) I figure I've got about 30 more years of bands to grow up with. I'm lookin forward to it.
