Green Day has been one of my favorite bands for years, yet somehow I'd never managed to see them live. When I heard they were returning to Salt Lake City, I knew I had to go. Normally I can't stand big arena concerts, but Green Day is one of the few bands I'll make an exception for.

Thats the same set list green day played in madison a few weeks ago when i saw them and i think they ended with good ridance. 1.) I was one of the "mormons" in the crowd. Oh my gosh, I was so unbelieveably offended! (Sarcsam). You're a douche. (not sarcasm) sounds like a really great show ...! "Billie Joe also stuck his hand down his own pants and started moaning at one point. I'd really like to know what the mormons in the audience thought of that. " omgz!! stop pushingggg!! i cant touch nfg's feet!! the nirvana box set is $40. I'm not gonna pay $40 to support Courtney Love's smakc habit. because nirvana, while yes in their early days were quite punk-ish, are overblown. they recieve extra attention because their singer died (be it by his own hand or someone elses, im not opening THAT box. i dont know and neither do you) but the truth is they were just one of many post-punk/grunge/pre-alternative/whatever bands that were around at the time. and i can think of several that were ALOT better than nirvana What happenned to this website? here we are reading a review of a typical green day concert with one gay band named sugarcunt and one band with a guitarist dating a no talent ass retard named ashlee simpson. honestly if this website is about "punk" news, why in the hell didn't anybody just review the new nirvana boxed set? Why the hell would you want to see one of these bands let alone 3 of them together?! I missed Green Day in Toronto because I blew my cash on the Social D show. The set list seems kind of predictable, so I guess I made the right choice. actually check out www.purevolume.com/motorfalcon...for a fun time check out www.motorfalcon.cjb.net best value show i ever saw was the hives and mooney suzuki for 8 bucks.i think when i saw against me it was 8 as well. Is it just me, or does Billie Joe still look like a two-bit teen who has done too much drinking? This score is for someone telling me I look like Billie Joe... I'm so not that fat " I'll stick with the cheapos like Against Me! or HWM for $20 - $25." "First of all, you're probably too dumb to figure out that Incubus's first single off of "A Crow Left of The Murder..." is about George W. Bush and American politics etc... Many bands write political songs in subtle ways, and others like Propagandhi write obvious political songs like "Bullshit Politicians". I like political music at any level. Try actually knowing about a band before you bash it. " score is for green day and this poorly written review. what the damnit, where are the Pixeslive reviews!? "No One's Better than APOCALYPSE HOBOKEN" if i was in green day i'd probably be a dick to blink too. theyre ok and all, but they cant touch GD. their new album is the best thing theyve ever done. and the new songs sound even more amazing live. i love this band "Hey, it's me again. (The guy who wrote the review.) First off, thanks to those who gave constructive criticism on how to write a better review. I'll remember what you said when I write my second one. For all of you who responded by asserting your superiority through insulting me anonymously over the internet, keep up the good work. Your lack of anything resembling a life makes me smile. Oh, and my "hardcore" remark was sarcasm, not meant to be taken seriously. Lighten up. Thanks - the next review will be better. Why don't any of the live reviews mention sweaty girls? I want a review that talks about sweaty emo girls! Hey, it's me again. (The guy who wrote the review.) First off, thanks to those who gave constructive criticism on how to write a better review.

"seriously though, billie joe was always a dick towards blink, and during pop disaster tom was kinda of an "isolationist" and stayed to himself and that rubbed some in green day the wrong way." "you think incubus is politically charged? WTF!? bunch of lame ass hippies who would be doing Phish covers except now they can afford amps.....And any band that isn't rap/hip-hop that has a DJ as a permanent instrumentalist is just sad. incubus and linkin park should all be put in a blender together..." "Shut the fuck up and stop complaining about everything. They gotta play somewhere." you think incubus is politically charged? WTF!? bunch of lame ass hippies who would be doing Phish covers except now they can afford amps.....And any band that isn't rap/hip-hop that has a DJ as a permanent instrumentalist is just sad. incubus and linkin park should all be put in a blender together... "I like how they say "One nation controlled by the media," and yet they play their video on tv and their music on the radio and perform at clear channel venues. Hmpf...hypocrites." I like how they say "One nation controlled by the media," and yet they play their video on tv and their music on the radio and perform at clear channel venues. Hmpf...hypocrites. "terrible review. learn to write you fucking fool." i don't mind watching the same setlist over and over again. i don't mind paying £25 to do it. Especially not in a venue like brixton academy. i find that amusing. i get to see them in a 1000 capacity place and america just gets arenas. terrible review. learn to write you fucking fool. This review is reminding me why I didn't pick up tickets for their UK tour. Saw them a few years ago, and besides the new songs, this show sounds exactly the same. Seeing them once is cool, again is repetitive. saw this show tonight in long beach. same set but ended with good riddance. greatest green day show i've ever seen, they were on point all night. highlight of the night was when the douche guitar player for NFG jumped down into the crowd to play in front of "fans" and got clocked in the face for his troubles. hardy-fucking-har fuck knob. I like how they say "One nation controlled by the media," and yet they play their video on tv and their music on the radio and perform at clear channel venues. Hmpf...hypocrites. "damn green day sucks. i remember when they were "new" and "different" and we listened cuz we were like 10 and they sounded like nothing else out there. they lost all appeal after nimrod tho. and the other 2 bands arent even worth mentioning by name. Review is ok, i mean you work with what was there right? i agree with those wanting more details. Your user name should be Foghat17. "How come Green Day dislike blink 182, but yet there bringing Simple Plan to Australia?." I love Green Day, and the new album, but that show looks pretty damn shitty. I agree with the person talking about simple plan in australia. I want to go to that show but I hate simple plan so much and will have to bash 15 yr old girls to pass the time while they play. I'm a girl so its okay for me to bash other girls, guys. yeah, they're good live, but i'd like to see different songs one of these times. seriously, playing half of international superhits and half of the new album is pretty lame, even if the new songs are good... Stew, where are you seeing Hot Water Music that's going to cost you 20 fucking dollars? i'm a big green day fan but... $70 is a rip but not as bad as what some other bands are charging. I'll stick with the cheapos like Against Me! or HWM for $20 - $25. damn green day sucks. i remember when they were "new" and "different" and we listened cuz we were like 10 and they sounded like nothing else out there. they lost all appeal after nimrod tho. and the other 2 bands arent even worth mentioning by name. Review is ok, i mean you work with what was there right? i agree with those wanting more details. this score is for my punch No One's Better than APOCALYPSE HOBOKEN How come Green Day dislike blink 182, but yet there bringing Simple Plan to Australia? Tickets are going to be $70, I'd rather pay $100 if simple plan were to be beaten on stage. Nice review, good work on your first! Green Day are turning into Offspring in terms of their live shows with the predictable 4 hit songs off Dookie, King for a Day, Brainstew, and a bunch of songs off the current album, letting kids play a song, drawing out songs to 5 minutes during which time they could've actually squeezed in some more songs. They're a good live band but come on guys, variety is the spice of life. this score is for my punch I was at the Nov. 17 show in Vancouver. It was a really good show with a setlist identical to the one above, with one exception: Billie Joe closed the show playing Good Riddance. Cut the kid a break. I thought this review was badass. I thought the review was decent and that you need to give this guy a break. It's his first review up on punknews and I'd like to see most of you do any better. I know that my first reviews were not too good, and I'm sure some of you will contest that none of them are, but whatever. Thiz b that nigga ron arte$t fuck yall!!! Green Day are a good band, despite what some elitists may say, but how the fuck can they even consider not playing 'Welcome to Paradise' or 'Stuart and the Avenue'? I'm still giving them a 10, just because the new album is alright and, hell, they're Green Day, but leaving those 2 songs out? Insanity. Greenday should do a cover of Avril doing a cover of System of a Downs "Chop Suey" "did emocore kids in ass tight jeans and white belts do any karate moves?" Score is for the review. I don't think anyone reading this gives a shit about what you thought about how you posed for a pciture. Just some details about the show would have been better. don't do any more reviews. they're horrible. good set list, bad review I got my picture taken by the camera phones in chicago but my ugly mug didn't get put on the screen. the bastards. score is for the setlist... "i tried to look hardcore"? sounds like the EXACT SAME show i was at in montreal. pink bunny suit, YMCA, billie joe "wacking off"... I would want Greenday to just play Dookie from start to finish. I dont think theyve done much else that i would want to hear. man, they've been doing the same onstage routines for like 8 years. when will the masturbation/moaning bit come to an end... especially since it wasn't entertaining in the first place. Green Day should have played 'The Grouch,' that song rules. that comment below is in reference to the nj show, sorry same exact set list only we didnt get when i come around. instead we got homecoming and good riddance, which was the closer....a much better closer than a cover in my opinion score is for the review. Score is for the setlist. Green Day should not close with a cover. That's a fine song and all, but they should really be doing an original as their closer, especially since they have so many well-known/popular songs. I think that When I Come Around should be the absolute last song they play. So lame, i've seen them 3 times the past 4 years doing Lots of new album, and When I come around. Good stuff. |
