Green Day or No?
Hi everybody, long time no Blog.
But I thought I'd post something that a lot of Green Day fans may or may not have missed.
Remember the hiatus that Green Day were on a while ago, a band called The Network was formed? There were rumours flying around as to whether is was or wasnt the band and so on? Well they've done it again... Not The Network, but Green Day...of course!
May I present to you The Foxboro Hot Tubs MySpace or The Foxboro Hot Tubs website...
Strikes me as the guys having some fun while recording. Do you think that sounds like Billie Joe's voice; it's unmistakeable, isnt it? Or is that Tre, or maybe even Mike, dicking around on intro's to some of the songs? Dont you think 'Mother Mary' has a hint of 'Hitchin' A Ride' about it?
What gets me is the English sound of the Sixites; the heavy drums, mega-phoned vocals and heavy riffs and baselines.
Is this music not dissimilar to the bands in which Green Day drew their influences from? Like Iggy Pop or The Who? Early Stones and Beatles...
I personally think it sounds awesome and it's nice to hear something from our boys after so long. It's refreshing, it's new and it's exciting.
I want the new Green Day album and I want it now!
Be sure to tell me what you think!

I also agree with Vonny.
Just get your album out there, then play around with side projects.
Because I haven't listened to proper Green Day in a long time (well, new stuff) I'm beginning to think that maybe they're just not my cup of tea anymore.

I agree with Vonny. I miss my full-100%-no-add-on's Green Day

As much as I like the Foxboro Hot Tubs, Green Day needs to leave the side projects for a bit and make a new album for us all. We've been waiting patiently for 3 years..

What do you mean they aren't Punk?
Personally I think they are one of the biggest punk bands around, not because they express their political opinions but because of what they play and how they play it. Sure they aren't like the vibrators or the clash, but they have roots there. All the way back to bands that first came onto the scene.
By saying they aren't Punk, that's like saying the sex pistols were emo.
That the clash were metal.
And that's what ever punk I've ever met has told me, and I'm not meaning by snotty 12 year olds iether. I mean from guys who were in the punk movement in the 70's.

Billie Joe is in the Foxboro Hot Tubs.
It's still unknown whether the other two Green Day dudes are there.
But Slappy's kinda not so happy about this whole other side bands thing.
That means less Green Day.
And Slappy wants to see Green Day live at least once before she dies.

I love how it sounds. I mean this is probably just them experimenting, you know? What they've got right now with the Foxboro Hot Tubs sounds amazing enough just imagine what their new album will sound like. I'm really excited & it's definitely them. They can't hide from us. ;]

I think the sound is great!
but a band like Green Day, who actually are on big labels and stuff now, and play many different sorts of music, should stop calling their music punk rock though.
I'm not saying 'they think theyre lyyyk sooo punxxxx!!!1'
All I mean is that they've changed since the late 80's and early 90's, but obviously everyone and everything does. I think all experiments they've made are great. But it's not punk, so I'd like them to stop refer to their music as punk rock.
good blog though! :D

i agree with like everything you said.
:D
although the Foxboro Hot Tubs stuff sounds a bit different and kind of weird but that's only my opinion since usually i don't listen to stuff that sounds more like that.
