re: Does anyone now not want to be an American idiot…

Lmao. If you think Greenday is difficult then you have a lot to learn. There is absolutely nothing difficult about anything green day has ever written. Multiple people that play are telling you beginners can learn their music easily. Go learn some Megadeth or Metallica and get back to me.

Armstrong loves to say conservatives are uneducated and yet he’s a high school dropout. Hypocrite much.

Metallica bass parts are a joke compared to 90’s Green Day. Metallica drum parts are a total joke. Lars is possibly the worst drummer to ever get famous. Metallica guitar parts can be quite challenging where Green Day’s are not.

You’re literally trying to lecture a touring musician, who has covered damn near every genre (on every instrument) under the sun, about music.

Dude, you’re wrong. It’s okay to be wrong. People you don’t like can make music you do like. Music you don’t like can take skill and creativity to make. People whom you typically don’t agree with can occasionally make a poignant statement about a specific issue or event without your worldview collapsing.

It’s crazy, I know.

New Metallica is nowhere near what they use to be. I like the classical breakdowns that Kirk does in Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. I love playing some of the stuff off of Masters but yea its nowhere near as difficult of Megadeths stuff. Even the sick the dying and the dead is ridiculous. You should check out Kirks reaction to We'll be back. Its priceless.

You are high on crack to even remotely put green days elementary shite in the same sentence as Metallica. Cliff Burton is a fricking legend.

Billy Joe had no ability to be objective and continue those apt criticisms against Obama or Biden, but with Bay Area leftists, expect Leftism.

Exactly like Rage against the machine. Which if they were honest, they'd call themselves rage with the machine.

I’m high on correct.

Green Day’s bass and drums parts are often MUCH more difficult and interesting than Metallica’s. I have played both, I have performed both. It’s not even close. Literally just go listen to the Dookie album and stop embarrassing yourself.

You are apparently the only one that thinks that and plenty of people have played and performed both. Just by the albums you listed without first mentioning Masters, Killem all, Ride the lightning, Peace sells , Killing my business, So far so good so what, And Justice for all explains a lot.Never once in the historyvof music when top musicians discuss or disect top musicians has anyone with any talent or knowledge mentioned green day in any conversation.

The true question though is really why would anyone listen to Green Day?

BillieJoe is such poser stealing Robert Smith's look.

If you mostly hang out with guitarists, they’re going to talk about guitar driven bands. Green Day is not a band that has difficult guitar parts.

If you hang out with bassists who didn’t stop listening to music post Nevermind, and who listen to music other than metal, Mike Dirnt of Green Day is highly respected.

A LOT of music nerds were so butt hurt over Nirvana killing hair metal in 1991 that they basically stopped listening to any non-metal music that came out afterwards. As a result, they missed out on a LOT of music, some of which they might actually really like or at least appreciate if they listened to it. Instead, they just assume it’s all amateurish trash because a handful of bands made a point out of not playing guitar solos.
