Jeez Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) When they played here 2-3 years ago they were making fun of Axl on stage (GN'R played here 1 week earlier). They were making fun of Axl being late etc. and then played the intro to sweet child in a "make fun of it" way.

Black Roses Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Greenday is so high school......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Green Day are great songwriters. Maybe not true punk, but still great nonetheless. I think most people that criticize them just hate them because they were so popular last decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcano62 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I love Green Day but it's sad when they had a better setlist back in 1995........Too many pointless new songs. This kind of discourages me to see Green Day like I planned.Although it's nice to see an underground classic like Christie Road and Dissapearing Boy.Their last 4 albums suck ass besides Oh Love and Let Yourself go from Uno.
