1054.0. "Green Day" by BUSY::BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Trouble with a capital 'T') Tue Jan 24 1995 12:23

    
    	I think I could get into these guys ... the couple songs I've
    	heard are pretty good.
    
    	They've got that "new hardcore" sound to them, sort of like
    	Offspring minus the castration vocals, and they probably sound
    	great when you crank the stereo.

    DOOKIE is a killer ... a real 90s version of the late 70s punk thang.
    You've probably heard the "hits", but the _real_ rockers lie within
    the deep cuts.  The CD is a cranker and a definite MUST BUY.

    	Oh, YOU like them?
    
    	Maybe I wouldn't be too impressed then.  8^)
    
    
    	Just kidding ... sounds like I'll be buying it then!!

    	Well, if you hear a loud rumble coming from the general vicinity
    	of Marlboro you'll know who/what it is.

1054.6STRATA::LUCHTIs it performance? Is it expression?Wed Jan 25 1995 00:377
    I saw their concert on MTV the other day and thought it was
    some funny stuff!!  Is the singer bullsh*ting his "English"
    accent or what?  I heard they're from Seattle?!?  (Actually, 
    I heard this on WAAF, so *it* might be bullsh*t!!)

    First off, they're n ot from Seattle -- they're from Cali ... and
    derrive their name from their home town, which is apparently pot
    capitol of the world.
    
    Yeah, singer Billie Joe openly admits he is putting on that English
    accent.  He touts it as "an american band imitating the style of the
    late 70s british punk bands, who were imitating the style of the mid
    70s american bands."

    >  ... they're from Cali ... pot capitol ...
    
    Ah, 'AAF, source of crap as usual.  I especially get a
    kick out of the faces the singer makes.

1054.9CHEFS::GEORGEMThe West is the BestTue Mar 14 1995 12:058
a) English accent?  Doesn't sound English to me.  Sounds like Keanu Reeves in 
   Bram Stoker's Dracula, or like Dick van f*****g Dyke in Mary Poppins.

b) Anyone who likes Green Day can't have heard the Manic Street Preachers.  
   They've been doing this stuff (better) for 5 years.  MSP, the original 90s
   punk revivalists.  Check them out...

    I have the first MSP album and while the music is quite good,the lyrics
    are waaaay to "preachy"(for want of a better word)Out of the 1st album
    there are only about 5 songs that are worth listening to!
    
     the second album was shite!
    
    ...as for Green day...I like them!

1054.11BUSY::SLABOUNTYGood Heavens,Cmnder,what DID you doFri Oct 13 1995 11:145
    
    	New album "Insomniac" is out.
    
    	I'll let you know how it is after I get done listening to it.
    
1054.12BUSY::SLABOUNTYI'm just a little crazy.Mon Oct 16 1995 14:487
    
    	It's not bad.  Nothing really stands out yet after 1 listen,
    	like a couple off of "Dookie" did.  But I'll have to give it
    	another try.
    
    	Very short ... I'd say less than 40 minutes for 14 tracks.
    
1054.13LAST LP OUT ...HERON::BAILETue Oct 17 1995 10:4311
    re .12
        Yeh man,
                it's not a bad album.I guess I like it though because it's
        entertaining music with light lyrics.Just the sort of stuff which U
    pur
        on & enjoy with easy tunes to catch.
                U can't be surprised with its heavy Dookie connotation but
        is's packed up ith energy.
                I'll give it 7/10.
                                    shake.
