Green Day and Rancid

[CornerKid5]

NO ONE ever says anything bad about either of these bands ... I love them both, but I'd like to see some opinions of some people that don't.

[angie710]

That because they are genius...

[mirtizzle]

ehh, i'm not a rancid fan.

[Highway Donkey]

Green Day kicks ass... Rancid is fucking horrible.

[takingbackrufio]

I have to admit that I used to be a Rancid fan around the time of Out Come The Wolves, but ever since that I have been ashamed to say that I liked them. Red Hot Moon? :dissapoin

Green Day is a good band, but I have to say that Billy Joe Armstrong or whater his name is sounds awful. Just an opinion. His voice is very monotonous.

[jgirv17]

I love Green Day....Rancid, though, I am not a huge fan of....although I don't know if I know enough about the group to make a full opinion on them.

[Alex Djaferis]

Green Day are the best band on the planet after thrice :)

I just cant NOT like something they do its ridiculous. I cant wait for their next album.

rancid have gone downhill over the years. but theyre still good. big dissappointment live but oh well.

[em0]

i dislike the both of them, especially rancid.

and if the person above me is waiting for a new 'greenday' album you'll be waiting a long time. they aren't greenday anymore they are 'the network'

[Touched]

Rancid is ok, they have a few good songs, I used to love Green Day......now I hate them.

[angie710]

Granted, Rancid's new stuff pales in comparison to Out come the wolves or Lets Go, but... they were at one time indestructable, and I didnt forget that..

Green Day is just awesome...It makes me happy every time I hear them play...

Why?

[BrandNew20]

uh....em0, Green Day is recording their new album right now...the network was just a side project

[Chadwick]

The reason I love rancid so much, is cus Tim Armstrong is from where I am from, Fresno, Cali. So I gotta represent, Plus they kick ass! Green Day is only ok

[FarPastGone]

Green Day is huge, they are pioneers, and one of the only bands that you can say there name and everyone will know who your talking about and how to sing one of there songs. Rancid......yeah, they just suck

- - - - The Newbie - - - -

[Chadwick]

I just have never really liked green day to much

[Shatter590]

you gotta give green day props. they brought punk into the mainstream, made it user friendly and accessible to all. i love their old stuff, i love nimrod, can;t say i like the new stuff that much.

as for rancid. i love the new album, i love out come the wolves. everything else is kinda the same for me.

[Chadwick]

I do give green day props, Billy seems pretty cool and stuff, I just never really liked the stuff they have played. As for rancid. Tim changed the way people can sing in music. I dont think that if it wasnt for him, guys with horrible voices would not sing.

[FarPastGone]

You guys def. are right though the new stuff isn't anywhere as close to good as the old stuff is.

- - - - The Newbie - - - -

[Chadwick]

Green Day or Rancid?

[sweetsugar]

YOur right, Tim is not that good of a vocalist, and when I saw them live they sucked ass, bad sound quality, bad all together, it's almost like all the little rancid kids liked the fact that they sounded so bad. I dunno, Green Day does rock though, and probably always will.

[FarPastGone]

Green Day, there old stuff is better, and I like the new Rancid stuff more than the old even though I don't really listen to them much.

- - - - The Newbie - - - -

[Lueda Alia]

I love Rancid, but I have to agree, their old stuff is way better.

And Green Day....I've never been a huge fan...

[takingbackrufio]

I used to love Rancid so much. Their new album is absolutely brutal tho. Red Hot Moon? Ak! Their old stuff is amazing, Out Come the Wolves lasted a while in my cd player ... amazing album, got me into that kind of music, whatever you consider it.

Green Day ... 'Dookie' was an awesome album, I have to admit. I still think Billy Joe Armstrong sounds awful.

[em0]

isn't the network the same exact band members???

The Network 2020 was a joke. A big joke. I'm surprised you couldn't figure that out on your own.

Come on...an Argentine that likes spicy foods? Not in a million years.

[13th hour]

I dont like all the rancid dissing going on over here. Cut it out.

well your dumb cuz i know theyre making a new record. the network was just them having fun.

[DarknessCoatsUs]

BOO!!!!!!!!:) :evil: :grin: :dead:

[meredith smells]

are Billy Joe and Tim related? *dumb question*

i like both. neither are my favorite, but the cds get an occasional listen. i just don't see how people are like RANCID ARE THE GODS ABOVE ALL because they're good, but they aren't superheros!

[ChillinBass420]

RanciD Rules... but I think The Transplants is Tim Aromstrongs better band there doing stuff that no one did before and it sounds dope, I think there going to create a whole new brand of Punk Rap shit

[salimali]

i like bits of em both -

Rancid - And out come the wolves = Good
Rancid - Let's Go = Bad

Green Day - Nimrod = Good
Green Day - Insomniac = Bad

And i actually quite like both Tim and Billie Joe's voices.:D

[kidinthecorner]

Green Day was my favorite band forever. They were my first concert back when I was like 8 or 10 or so and they released Insomniac. Everything up to that point was and is still amazing, imo. Their last few albums have really disappointed me. I don't really like their more grownup stuff, but they have the occasionally great song, like (is it called "Waiting"? "I've been.. waiting a long time, for this moment to come I'm destined, for anyhting at all...") and some others, but I can't listen to their albums straight thru like "1039/Smoothed out slappy hours" or whatever through "Insomniac".

I never really got into Rancid, becauseI guess I'm not huge on actual punk, but they have really declined recently. Out Comes the Wolves was really great, but that recent video off the new album was pretty pathetic, the one about love with Benji featured in the shots...

[DevilMayCare]

Green Day was my first 'real' concert when I was 7. I was a youngin, I know. But my first concert was Stevie Nicks. yeah I know, I am so cool.

[i kill children]

rancid is just horrible

[Basketcase]

Green Day, along with Weezer, are my number 1 all time fav band. if it wasn't for Green Day i wouldn't be listening to the stuff i'm into now. Green Day practically introduced the world to pop punk and because of them the majority of the bands that are big now is because of them. Besides making awesome music, they are also the best live act. the new album is going to kick major ass and will be their best work by far. they've been working on this album since January.

Rancid are also awesome and are pioneers in the punk scene. Tim's voice is awsome by the way.

[pUnkKid174]

hmmm, rancid....what can i say bout them? well i just dont like them that much but at warp tour 2003 they sounded pretty good

green day is a great band, though not one of my favorites eh...

[lemoncloningwaf]

Uh. is this thread a fucking joke or something? why does a supposed "punk" website have a bunch of fucking american **** who like greenday and rancid? this world is so sad

what would a real punk band be? pere ubu or richard hell and the voidoids

Also, green day and rancid might not be the most punk band ever but it is possible to make good music that isn't punk

[Scottt]

Green Day is my favorite band. Rancid... not so much.

I'm surprised to see how many people have said they like Green Day in this thread, I thought most people here hated them.

[SAMS_naked]

The only good Green Day is Green Day pre-American Idiot. After that, it's shit.

I've honestly never heard anything from Rancid that I didn't like.

[cfear]

My band played a Green Day song today, and a Blink-182 song. It's only funny because we are a crusty folk-punk band.

Also, what's with really old threads being revived today? And, whoever mentioned Pere Ubu gets major props.

i like rancid alot more then i like green day... i am not saying green day suck or anything.

just if i had the choice of the two, i'd pick rancid in a heartbeat.

[keanebeats]

not a fan of either really

This is probably the worst bump I have ever seen in my entire life. Way to put yourself on a pedestal for nothing.

[secretsociety92]

I like Green Day a lot, don't like Rancid at all.

[mizoka]

i like both, but i'm not a big fan of either...

but i've heard a lot of people saying bad things about green day. most of my friends hate them.
i've never heard anything about rancid...

[neverstore]

Actually I'm quite suprised that there aren't so many people around here who say bad things about green day/rancid. Normally I hear shit about them every day.

[xcandynecklacex]

i think i'm the only one who thinks green day's best album is warning.
oh for big green day fans read the book marc spitz wrote about them, its very interesting.
it even goes into detail about gilman street and other east bay bands.

[lucasfcosta]

damn, you're the only one. i mean, my favorite is dookie actually, but warning is just after that.

[AP_Punk]

meh.

[WilliamSex]

Both bands are geniouses. I do not understnad why people keep on dissing them, they wrere both essential in the punk rock movement. I mean that they brought punk more into the mainstream.

However, i'm not such a fan of either music

some would argue that the words punk and mainstream should not be in the same sentence.

i would argue that green day and rancid are both severely overrated.

[Shatter590]

give em the boot, the roots are radicals
give em the boot, you know im a radical

[Tyler Revolution]

They both doke.

really old thread with a bunch of people i havent seen post probably since 2003

I haven't seen you post in forever.

[jaymofokinwalsh]

They are both fucking terrible.
Rancid just blows at everything.
Green Day tries to be political but they're just dickheads.

i never said anyone did, i was asking why it was on a supposed punk website

[Julia.mofo!]

Rancid is 10 times better then Green Day. And if you actually like real punk music you'll agree Rancid is better then Green Day

[TheOtherAndrew]

obviously you dont cuz green day isnt punk at all they try to hard

[TheOtherAndrew]

obviously you dont cuz green day isnt punk at all they try to hard
I don't care. I prefer Green Day's music to Rancid's. I do think Rancid is really good, I just prefer Green Day.

[CountMeOut923]

green day is great and all, but why do they have to start wearing eyeliner? you can make new music without starting to wear make up. thats the only thing that bothers me about them

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yeah that is a bit irritating, but the music's still good so I can't complain too much. Maybe by the next album they'll be back to normal.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

obviously you dont cuz green day isnt punk at all they try to hard


are we to assume that your posts are supposed to help us better understand what it means to "try to hard"? Or is that on accident

[CountMeOut923]

i think the worst albm rancid made was indestructible. the rest of them are fuckn great but i had a problem with just that one

[TheOtherAndrew]

I thought it was ok, but absolutely nothing compared with And Out Come The Wolves. Obviously. It had its moments though.

[CountMeOut923]

I thought it was ok, but absolutely nothing compared with And Out Come The Wolves. Obviously. It had its moments though.

agreed. i think what made me cringe about that album was in the video seeing cameos from kelly osboure and benji madden.

[TheOtherAndrew]

agreed. i think what made me cringe about that album was in the video seeing cameos from kelly osboure and benji madden.
Yeah that was pretty gross. I actually liked Fall Back Down though. And as long as they keep playing Olympia, Wa and Roots Radicals at shows, I'll be happy.

[CrazyRockGirl]

Yeah that is a bit irritating, but the music's still good so I can't complain too much. Maybe by the next album they'll be back to normal.

Yea that is what I keep on saying and thinking, because I have seen some recnt pictures of the band members and they are not wearing makeup at all, they actually look how they did in the Warning/Nimrod era, but I mean just because they DID wear make-up on the AI album doesn't bother me at all, I like bands for their music, not looks

[Shatter590]

i see people badmouth green day and rancid constantly

that said, Out Come The Wolves and Dookie are two defining records that introduced many, many people to the genres.

[Shatter590]

Both bands are so great outside of those two

agreed, but it was those two albums that most people credit as introducing them to rancid and green day

[Shatter590]

Im too young to have caught Green Day at Dookie I think it was Nimrod-era for me but Dookie was the first one i purchased.

Nimrod was when i started listening to them, but it was Dookie that really got me into all their stuff.

For Rancid tho, It was the self titled. Out come the wolves i got in 2003, after seeing them live, and was my third rancid album. my personal favorite is Indestructibe though.

[Shatter590]

Im not a big rancid fan so the only one i currently have is Out Come the Wolves but i have owned their S/T in the past.

honestly, out come the wolves is all you need.

when i saw them last september, they played pretty much the entire album.

[TheOtherAndrew]

The self-titled album really never did it for me (we are talking about the first one, right?) but I've always been a huge fan of Let's Go and Out Come the Wolves. Plus I bought their Radio Radio Radio 7" a few years ago and its probably my favorite 7" of all time.

oh yeah, theres two of them lol

im talking about the self titled from 2000, where theyre playing all that 80s style hardcore.

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Don't care for Rancid, and I enjoy Green Day's earlier albums.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Oh yeah I've heard a few songs from that one and I like what I hear. Haven't checked out the whole thing yet though.

its very very different from OCTW. but i like it

[cortezthekilla]

pass!

[fenderkid212]

I like both bands.

My friend can do a pretty spot on Tim Armstrong impression. tis the shit

[Tom Good]

I like green day, and a bunch of rancid, but I think a lot of rancid isn't as good as people say it is. Don't get me wrong, I love the band and they were formative for my intro to music, but, some of it is just a little dated.

[Ms Smurf]

Rancid were one of those culturally important bands like The Sex Pistols but now they need to go away. After that Gap advert, I've never trusted Tim Armstrong. Wanker.
Green Day bore me to tears.

Green Day is way better than Rancid. compared to Green Day, Rancid is a piece of shit.

I love NN2S.

[Greendude]

I Love Green Day... i know im meant to say dislikes but meh its my life..shoot me?
Also Rancid is le sexy time also..I cant really fault either..nor would i want to.:-D

[Caitie Disaster]

no one ever says anything bad about greenday? haha where the hell do you live??

[nonamesleft]

I think I'd chose Rancid over Green Day, although I went to the Green Day concert a few years ago and enjoyed it.

[badxfish]

I think Greenday is an amazing band... when there where still tweekers sadly to say. Their older music is classic, no matter what genre of music you listen to OLD SCHOOL greenday is an every one fav. Then they got cleaned and now I don't dig their music as much, NOT for the reason of them getting clean, congrats, but when you have a huge change in life, as a musician you will also have a huge change in music, and I don't like the change. But rancid on the other hand, I enjoy all of their music and they shall remain one of my all time fav bands!

[badxfish]

Plenty of people dont like any of Green Days music and there is plenty reason not to.

;-)

[Shatter590]

give em the boot

[cooltobeyou]

Green Day is OK, but "American Idiot" was a horribly over rated piece of trash. I'll take "Warning" over "American Idiot" any day of the week.

Rancid has a couple of good albums...and a couple trashy albums.

Either way, both bands have just been overplayed and its time for them to call it a day IMO. I rarely listen to any of my Rancid and Greenday CD's anymore because I'm just so sick of hearing them. I guess they're still better than 99% of whats played on the radio though :)

[Yes. And?]

did you really just say NOBODY has talked bad about Green Day?

[Shatter590]

did you really just say NOBODY has talked bad about Green Day?

3-4 green day threads a day lol

[cooltobeyou]

Its sad that the best Green Day song was from the "Angus" soundtrack :(

[atticus1492]

RanciD Rules... but I think The Transplants is Tim Aromstrongs better band there doing stuff that no one did before and it sounds dope, I think there going to create a whole new brand of Punk Rap shit

My biggest disappointment of Warped Tour whatever year this was was seeing Travis Barker play with this shitty band.

[atticus1492]

Don't care for both of these bands, especially Rancid.

Word.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Don't care for both of these bands, especially Rancid.

Word.

[CellarGhosts]

I actually like both Rancid and Green Day.
They were two of the first punk groups I ever got into, and their music has always stuck with me.
I even listen to "American Idiot" every once in a great while

And I can see where both bands, (espically Rancid) would get on people's nerves, but I still like them for the most part. Rancid's "And Out Come the Wolves" is still up there with my top favorite punk records.

But then again, I have alot of favorite punk records, hahaha, so...

Anyway, yeah. I still like both of them. But if everyone else hates them, I mean...it's fine with me, really...

[battles]

I hear plenty of bad shit being said about Green Day. Rancid on the other hand, never gets looked down on. Although it is unfortunate that they just got the drummer from the used.

[CountMeOut923]

rancid is a great band and tim continues to write great songs too.

[icyeyes26]

i like Green Day
