Apollo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) There is a lot of hate on this forum for a lot of different bands. Which is weird as we all are music fans.There are a lot of bands I don't listen to or like. But u can dislike a band and still respect them for fulfilling a music niche. Not every song should be an epic masterpiece with brilliant lyrics. Every generation has cheesy pop songs, cheesy dance songs and cheesy rock songs. And they fill a niche, so whats the big deal?I don't like Greenday. But millions of people do, and they have been around awhile now....so I am glad they are out there. I've never bought a greenday album, but I certainly find no reason to hate them. They put out music that millions like - that is a good thing.

dalsh327 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 No one is (or at least, should be) suggesting that Green Day were "pioneers" of punk.Stating they were legit "back in the day" sends a message...."back in the day"How exactly were they legit?What were Guns n' Roses pioneers of? Who claimed GnR were pioneers?GnR brought different influences and flavours to their music and infused it into their own vision.It hadn't been done quite the way Guns brought it to the table.They had punk rock background,they hard rock background,classic rock,blues,am/fm radio.It all melted in to the perfect storm.They didn't just dye their hair green and jerk their heads and ape an entire scene that had already played out...."back in the day".It would've made more sense for Green Day to induct Cheap Trick.

gunsguy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Who gives a fuck who inductes them anyway? THEY ARE BEING INDUCTED that should matter to us, not who is going to say a few things.This opinion is subject to change if Green Day attempt to perform ANY GN'R tune on stage that night.

saber_ Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I thought 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk were really good albums. I don't care if it was post-authentic wannabe punk or punk lite, there were some sweet licks and good lyrics in those 2 albums. Dookie was Green Day's Black album (as in Metallica), it was simultaneously a hit-laden slickly produced album, yet it was devoid of the gritty rawness that helped define previous efforts.Anyhoo, interesting choice to induct Guns n Roses. Who woulda thunk it.edit: fixed name of 1st album listed Edited April 4, 2012 by Popcorn's Timbre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Izzy, not even 100% sure Axl will be there & "GNR" won't be playing at the induction. It's kinda anticlimactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I'd rather Hulk Hogan inducted GNR into the Hall of Fame over Green Day. Or they could just get Kenny Powers to do the honor. Edited April 4, 2012 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Macaroni Incident? Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'll be completely up front. I think Green Day are dog shit. I always imagined Lars Ulrich or Sebastian Bach inducting them. That makes the most since.However, this ceremony has "train wreck" potential and I'll tune in for that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) To be fair we honestly do not know who picked them, there was a serious delay in the announce. Perhaps they picked others and they would not or could not come to the event? Perhaps Guns picked them? Who knows just yet?Maybe they asked another band and they said no for some reason. We know nothing about this part and I would like to know.An Axl tweet would answer if he is even going and he can control the message that way would be rad but likely won't happen Edited April 4, 2012 by gunsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
