THis guy is a fucking asshole. He just wants credit for the success of American Idiot. Green Day deserves it and besides even if he did write it then it's fault that Green Day made it famous because he was too busy SITTING ON HIS ASS.

How bad would you all feel if it was proven that the Grocery Clerk man actually wrote it? Faith

Entirely possible...but pretty unlikely.

Dude if this guy wrote it then I'd just continue to listen to the older records. Even though AI got me into Green Day. It isn't as good as their older stuff. It would be a bit like WTF why did Green Day do that? Really though I do not believe this guy wrote it(still uneasy thoughConfused). He doesn't seem to be much of an activist(which is basically what this album is about(a suburban boy who sees past the lies and acts out against this and ends up back where he started but with more life experience). This dude is working as a clerk. As far as I'm concerned this is some greedy guy trying to get a slice of the big cheese. My opinion: Guy wrote it= Me a bit shocked but will still love Green Day nonetheless.
Guy is lying= How boring but most likely. How annoying as well. I am unsure of this and I don't want to pick sides(not that kind of person). Sorry for my long comment! I like this face Twisted Evil

Hahaha. Oh, I'm sure he wrote it ages ago. Along with Welcome To The Black Parade, Nevermind, and every other top-selling rock cd's out there

Duh. Rolling Eyes


Yeah. But honestly, I think it's bull. He, apparently, has no proof whatsoever and is claiming he wrote the songs back in 1992.

I'm assuming, since he 'wrote' the whole American Idiot album, he wrote Rock and Roll Girlfriend. The lyrics go "I got a kid in New York, I got a kid in the Bay." Is it some freakish coincidence that he wrote those lyrics, and 12 years later when the album came out, Tre ironically has a kid in New York and one in Oakland?

And Tre can play the shit out of drums.

Coincidence?

Yeah, but their older stuff was written by a charwoman.

I deleted most of your quote. Sorry. Very Happy
Personally, I think AI is a great record. The lyrics are amazing and the musicianship is better than most of the songs in any of the other CDs, however begrudgingly you do or don't admit it.

Anyway, If Grocery Clerk Dude really did write it, how come he waited 2-3 years to sue, and not just release it himself?

He says that he didn't take action for a long time because he was in shock every time he heard it on the radio and couldn't bring himself to believe it. He said he'd be back with more evidence.

How fun would it be if he came back and said he wrote Governator about coming back to court?

No one is going to believe that bullshit.
If he needed more evidence to start with, why didn't his lawyer tell him, if he was smart enough to get one, he needed more!
It's common sense.
Duh.

My question is that American Idiot came out in 2004. Why did he suddenly decide to come out now?

I agree. I mean, I would only do that if I had a good chance of people believing me.

Maybe his Mom believes him?
