well, you figure these guys have been playin forever and winning awards like a Grammy would be a dream for them. So, why don't you just shut up. I'm not even a big fan of green day and I don't even like the Warning album, but I can respect them if they win the Grammy because they will have somthing to show their kids one day.

Someone (December 7, 2004)

The labels are allowed to submit any song or album for consideration as long as it came out Oct. 1 2003 to Sept. 30, 2004. In the case of COF, I can surely bet you Roadrunner knew they would have no shot with a song with the word "Cunt" in it. A few years back Deftones won this category with "Elite" which wasn't a single and was the heaviest song on the record. Happens all the time for the smaller artists. -jones the bones

that ridiculous, ive been somewhat of a green day fan over the years in that i think they are a good 3 chord pop punk band nothing amazing or ground breaking but solid and decent song writing. this new album is just one ripped off part after another though, its ridiculous. there is very little on this album that isnt an obvious rip off of bands like like Dillinger Four, Cheap Trick, Motley Crue, tom petty...etc. its horrible. at least i know at the punkvoter CMJ show D4 kinda made reference to it when before they played the song green day ripped off for the single american idiot Patty said "this is the first song on the new green day album, you do the math"

Someone (December 7, 2004)

dookie was released way before doublewhiskeycokenoice. american idiot doesnt sound that much different from dookie.

Someone (December 7, 2004)

the whole point of paddy's comment is that the opening riffs of doublewhiskeycokenoice and american idiot sound almost exactly the same. i don't think he ever meant that the green day of 94 ripped off the d4 of 98.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

The point is that Green Day has had that sound before D4 & that it sounds like D4 has sour grapes, so fuck 'em up their retarded asses.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

My point is you're fucking retarded. The intros to doublewhiskeynoice and american idiot are practically identical. Listen to the songs, and then fucking shoot yourself for being fucking stupid.

Someone (December 7, 2004)

the difference is the lyrics and story of american idiot is really good, thats why they deserve to be nominated and win those awards. the music is still good 3 chord pop stuff, as it should be

Someone (December 8, 2004)

even though the intro's do sound the same, with simplistic punk riffs like that it's fairly easy to come up with similar sounding songs. there's only so much you can do with power chords. if you think about the actual likelihood of greenday sitting down with a bunch of records and trying to find some simplistic 3 chord punk songs to rip off because they can't think of which 3 chords go together, you'll probably find yourself seeing the fairly large gaping hole in patty's statement. as much as i like d4, that's pretty self-involved of them to think that they are the only ones who could have thought up that amazingly intricate intro and that greenday, of all bands, were the ones to rip them off. fun to think, pretty stupid to actually believe.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

D4 did do a split with pinhead gunpowder, billie joe's side band that was released on adeline, billie joe's label. so its not like they randomly found that riff listening to a million records. they had heard it (from an almost no name band) and they stole it. and they knew they'd get away with it. its that simple.

How can u guys bitch about Kayne West dominating?? Even if u dont enjoy his music, you gotta give him props for writing actual meaningful lyrics, and not just about "pimpin'" and his "ice" and the "bling bling". Atleast his music has fucking SUBSTANCE which is the LEAST i can say abotu most shitty rappers out there.

dazed (December 8, 2004)

You're evidently 5 years back or so in rap if you think anyone seriously says "bling bling". Popular rap nowadays is actually worse than that. It's just shitty R&B with little to now flow and 10 guys just going "uh huh" and "yeah" and an annoying chorus that's repeated ad nauseum. Older gangsta rap is musically the best rap by far though, whether you would think it has substance and meaningful lyrics or not.

niveK82 (December 7, 2004)

The big problem about the Grammys is you have to be on a major label to get nominated. Unlike the Acadmey Awards where a self produced or independant movie can get a nominated. Also Green Day is going to walk away with at least one grammy. Usually the albums nominated for album of the year win their individual sub catagory(s). i.e. Outcast won best rap album and best album. If they didnt win best rap album how could they even qualify for best album.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

Another rap album could win. Or it could be that it's not the best purely rap album. When I want to listen to rap, I really don't put on Outkast. That's more of Jedi Mind Tricks kind of thing. I listen to Outkast when I wanna hear some quirky, cool, pop music.

jayfire805 (December 7, 2004)

Does anyone think that its funny that anyone pays attention to the grammys. This has more to do with album sales than quality of music. Anyways, who is to decide what is quality of music anyway. Opinions of music are personal, and dont need to be glamorized or justified by an award. I could give a shit about who wins, all that means is that a lot of people agreed with eachother on one band/persons music. I dont like any band or music because a bunch of other Assholes, nor would I dislike for the same reson.

that album is SO ghastly. The drumming is obviously tight-Mr Reality Show there WAIT he fucking aped Dave Grohl on that one song. Barkley"C'mon he fucking raps in it"Barkster seriously he fucking raps its soo bad. Those spider lyrics are pretty much the worst words I've ever heard in the context of a pop song that I've ever heard. Honestly my 7 year old cousin is too smart for that song. True story. HE RAPS IN IT

Heres some good rap for you tho 3rd Bass "Derelicts of Dialect" Nas "Illmatic" Black Sheep"Wolf in Sheeps Clothing" Redman"whut.? The album" Barkley

3rd Bass "Derelicts of Dialect" thats so funny cause i was talking to my friend last night on how ihave to get this on cd.....that is a very good album

KB (December 7, 2004)

no way! Blink hasnt put out a good album since Dude Ranch. Green Day's new album is amazing, and definately makes up for that terd they refer to as "Warning"

Waits & the Shins are only up because they were featured on soundtracks. Lame. They could at least include a "Best Indie Record" category.... -Chinatown

"Chutes Too Narrow" is a stunner of a record...Chinatown props for being Canadian and enjoying "Perfecting Loneliness" I got the gatefold double orange vinyl edition. Barkley"Record Geek"Barkster

Someone (December 8, 2004)

Jade Tree also sent me the gatefold double orange vinyl edition....but I had ordered the CD version. (I don't have a record player.) Long story short, despite my pre-ordering I only got to hear PL about two weeks after it had been released in stores. Luckily Jade Tree covered my second shipping costs with 8 buttons. -Chinatown

Do me a favor- get a turntable. Its unreal how full that record sounds. Smoke a joint/have a beer/ whatever and toss that on the turntable wow. Barkley

Someone (December 8, 2004)

The Shins actually can't win a Grammy. Their nomination was in the album layout category, an award that goes to the designer of their digipack. As far as their appearances on a soundtrack, that Grammy goes to the producer, not the performers.

Someone (December 9, 2004)

Yeah I ordered "Four Cornered Night" on vinyl via the local shop, and when I went to pick it up they suspiciously had a copy of "Perfecting Loneliness"(Which had never been there before) filed in the vinyl section. So obviously I had to buy both and wasted away the night to Blake-isms. Barkley

Nope. Dave works for Microsoft now; dunno what happened to Geoff and the others. They were a stellar band though, with underrated lyrics that range from serious to sardonic. -Chinatown

Not-To-Regret (December 8, 2004)

It sucks that the songs nominated for "best rock song" are always the singles... sure it's not like many of the bands are that great but still Green Day is probably the best (longevity, loyal fanbase) amongst the listed bands, but there are way better songs than "American Idiot" on said album. "Give Me Novacain" and "Whatshername" are both amazing and stronger tracks. I guess it's okay because I would prefer those better songs DID NOT become singles... therefore Green Day naysayers are deprived of the above songs.

swingline (December 8, 2004)

i agree with you. the new green day just doesn't beat the old green day albums (except for Holiday) but the new blink album beats the shit out of the old blink and then rapes his mom with a rusted iron pipe.

You know music has died when people are arguing which new version of Blink 182 or Greenday are better.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

i don't know if Tom Waits has won anything before, but he deserves something. the Grammy's really are a joke, but at the same time i still find myself very much wanting to see a worthwhile artist win. it's like the Oscars, the fact that Martin Scorsese hasn't won shit proves its worthlessness. i mean, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas all lost? fuck the academy and the grammys.

Also, Bill Murray should've won instead of the no talent prick Sean Penn.

dazed (December 8, 2004)

They would have just handed him one for "Gangs of New York" if it had been just a little bit better I believe. But it was way too overblown for just about anyone and didn't really deserve to win anything (like his previous films did).

Someone (December 8, 2004)

the Arcade Fire. i read so many stellar reviews of the album, i was kind of disapoointed upon listening. basically, Modest Mouse reads some Neutral Milk Hotel lyrics and finds an appreciation for operatic theatrics. pretty accurate. for a 9.7 at Pitchfork i expected something more (honestly, the records that have scored in the 8 range at Pitchfork in the past two years have proven to be the best).

Someone (December 8, 2004)

Besides that, Pitchfork does score the albums pretty accurately. They do know their music.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

Yeah, it isn't worth a 9.7, but I'd give it, at the very least, an 8.3. There aren't any filler songs on it, but some do drag on at points. -Chinatown

I hope if the single "American Idiot" wins any awards Dillinger 4 rushes the stage. Or Green Day just admits that they stole the song in their acceptance speech.

Wow, you guys could bitch about anything. Congratulations to the bands nominated, I know if any of you were nominated for a damn thing you'd cream your pants once you found out. Lastly, the Green Day album was decent, though I found it humorous how soo many people were claiming how intellectual the lyrics and musicianship was the day the thing was released - It's still Green Day, albeit making 9 minute songs that sound exactly the same. Peace, -SOYBOMB-
