First Green Day album is basically a load of cackhanded Van Halen riff attempts over soppy love songs, it's fantastic stuff

saw them in The Attic in 1991 actually and it was all downhill from there
 
They all died in 2000 anyway, 20 years ago. RIP.

1st two green day lps are gold
I dont hear the van halen in them though
Ah, i'm pushing it in fairness, just busy riffs and solos that disappeared a few years later. They're the right age to be Van Halen obsessives. I Want to Be Alone is my usual go-to, and it's equal parts Iron Maiden as well.

Was at Green Day in Kilmainham a few years ago, it was fuckin atrocious. I left after about 40 minutes, they played for 2+ hours. Final straw was when they actually played a couple of the good songs from Dookie, but then proceeded to completely ruin those by letting Billie Joe talk complete shite for 5 minutes in the actual middle of the songs. Utter wank.

Story checks out


I like a few green day songs, but I always think of them as rock music for 12 year olds.
Ah yeah, but they were a class band when I was 12. I don't recognize anything post-Warning

I can also vouch for @Cormcolash's story. It was also freezing cold and pissed rain for most of it.

Rancid were decent though
 
I like Fantomas (though mainly the movie theme tune album) and Tomahawk but generally I’m all 🤷🏻‍♂️ when it comes to Mike Patton (I honestly think Faith No More are terrible, I don’t get why they’re so revered). I saw him do a show with Fennesz and the audience was so weird, just people screaming his name and saying they wanted to have his babies. Poor Fennesz was bewildered and no one seemed to be listening to the music (which was OK but Fennesz on his own is much better).
 
I don't understand how people don't get Faith No More, maybe their approach is a bit too pop music and self aware for people? I just think of the Real Thing as a brilliant straight up pop album. They're, you know, fun.

They’re boring? I find listening to more than 1-2 songs by them to be a real slog, let alone a whole album. Also, “Easy” can go and fuck itself, what an annoying song.
