^thanks for that. Now whoever it was doesn't have an argument.
I didn't even know the reason they'd nearly broken up was Billie Joe! I'd got it into my head that none of them really wanted to do it anymore.
Pfft.

You didnt know it was because of him?
=O
Yah, its cause he was becoming a dictator and all enclosed, not letting the others contribute to the band

Oh yes, is always Billie's fault.

The fact Tre and Mike were laughing at his songs wasnt part of why he wanted to quit now was it? Rolling Eyes

He said it was little things like "Tre calling Welcome to Paradise a shit song"

Maybe thats why they don't play it live anymore.

But he was trying to control the band a little bit... although I guess you always need someone like that: a leader.

Billie cant help himself, he's a control freak thats pigheaded.

But it wasnt just Billie.

Im just sick of everyone at "first" (well on here anyway) being "oh Billie!" then suddenly "Billie's a dick".

He's a dick thats a good leader. Not many people can control that amount of people like he can. The man has charisma. You have to give him that.

But people like that need people to keep them grounded, puncture his ego from time to time, ect.

But if they did - It wasnt just Billie.

I heard about Green Day for the first time in 2004, so only thing that would've changed in my life is that I'd never heard about Green Day.

They do play WTP sometimes.

I just think that Billie has a bit more responibility in the band because he is the one that writes the songs.
I think the break up was due to the fact he is a bit of a perfectionist and he resented the fact that Mike and Tre would ridicule his songs. With Mike and Tre they thout Billie was pulling a bit more weight than he should. They all have there points, it was just Billie Joe's fault.

Didnt say it was just his fault,
I said it in a bad way
but I didnt mean it that it was just his fault >_<
of course Tre and Mike contributed somewhat but it seems a little like he was acting like it was his band

I would still be listening to N'sync and The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears and Christina Aguilara.


And I wouldn't have discovered Green Day because, I mean, I heard a lot of their old stuff on the radio, but I fell in love with Boulevarde of Broken Dreams when it was playing one morning on the radio.

My brother got me into them more one night when I saw him watching the video for BOBD with his friend, and I didn't know what Green Day's name is, and he told me.


And I would be a prep clone.

I would not be here because I am one of the many people who became a fan when American Idiot came out and instead of being here I would be on a Hilary Duff message board talking about what happened the night before on Laguna Beach....and listening to the very untalented Mariah Carey... I Don't Care Rigo sorry if that offended anyone, Sad

I wouldn't be obsessed with Green Day if they broke up back in 2000.

I wouldn'tve gotten into punk and such ....I think i'd be like a wannabe rapper called Fo-Shizzle if they had broken up.

American Idiot was a phenominal album, just because it wasnt similar to old Green Day albums doesnt make it horrible. It won mountains of awards and exposed kids to politics who wouldnt have normally cared.

Laughing The funny thing Is I really don't like it that much, I dont not like it, but yeah. I just don't think they should be demeaned for it. Afterall the work and effort that went in to it.
