‘Member when morons were surprised that GREEN DAY was anti-trump?
johnvilnis
Trump followers are all ‘Green day held up a bloody Trump head and are saying he should be executed.’
Gopher9191
Yup. The Twitter disinformation vacuum is astounding. Also, I low key wish that's what Green Day actually did...
nachosyndicate
Kathy Griffin enters the chat.
blancomeow
So that’s the American idiot
reverendbonobo
And then there's GWAR. https://youtu.be/JGcI8_7s7FU?si=ucefjl6fxv0SGQbM
LaredoVox
Always upvote GWAR
mrmartini
Off topic here, but that genuine 1950s TV Yellow Les Paul Junior he's playing? You guys have any idea how much that guitar is worth? Lord above, I'd be a happy man to have one of those.
Gopher9191
He has quite an impressive guitar collection.
fivefrozenfishfingers
IDK, but he has a signature Junior line.
mrmartini
I'm talking about an OG 1950s Junior ... I have a new one https://reverb.com/item/83690141?utm_source=android-app&utm_medium=android-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=83690141
mrmartini
That is absolutely ridiculous. $24k for a Junior. The new one are just fine. Lol

Gordon Ramsay?

Remember when little boy W Bush was the American Idiot?
Theshnazzyone
I had both volumes of the rock against bush album.
CallMeMcGyver
Jesus, he looks like fricken Einstein now compared to that goddamn orange idiot.

Jack threw him under the bus
BoxOfHellos
Kyle! Hats off to ya
capnadorable
So are conservatives going to pressure them to do the same thing tenacious D did?
SomeDetroitGuy
Because he wrote "idiot" on a mask of Trump?
Theshnazzyone
Doubt it. They would just relish the extra attention.
SFuhr
They have less pressure to work with so I doubt it, there was only pressure on Jack Black because of his voice acting career with Disney, and Disney can drop you over bad publicity. Otherwise, I think JB would be right alongside Kyle.
AtariJaguar64Bit
Doubt Tre and Mike will throw Billie Joe under the bus like Jack Black did to Kyle.
Gopher9191
Nah I saw them in 2017 right after the inauguration and Billie Joe went on a rant about Trump's tiny hands, and he turned part of the last verse of American Idiot into an epic "Fuck Donald Trump" chant
JohnnySilverballs
If they do, I have a feeling Green Day will just be like "hahahaha fuck you."
capnadorable
I guess it’s a bit easier to say that when your lead singer isn’t also tied to all these Hollywood companies and movies and stuff, kids movies and upcoming projects. Those kind of things don’t want to be alienated by republicans and lose potential box office profit
Gopher9191
They are. Found out from venturing onto Twitter and seeing peoole calling for their cancelation. Which they've been doing for the last few years after just learning green day is "woke"
capnadorable
lol same people were dancing to rage against the machine at republican events and saying it’s a shame that rage against the machine has gotten so political lmao. Like what machine do you think they were raging against?
capnadorable
Same people that got mad when they realized Homelander in the show The Boys is actually a bad guy
Cabreza
American Idiot has never been more relevant.
FacelessVixen
I'd say that the song and/or album along with a few tracks by System of a Down are as relevant now as they were over the past eight years, and twenty years ago during the Bush administration.
twostepsfromlost
SoaD Prison song probably just need to update some of its statistics and make some things WORSE and it will be dead on
Animorphs
Rage Against The Machine and Bad Religion too.
blancomeow
NOFX’s wolves in wolves clothing as well
deepinthewookiehole
I’ll add Uncle Sam Goddamn by Brother Ali - couple decades old and painfully more relevant than ever. “Welcome to the United Snakes / Land of the Thief / Home of the Slave “
RubberMonkeys
How did Fat Wreck Chords not put out a Rock Against Former Guy album.
D1RTYPENGU1N
Also see NOFX's The War on Errorism. I literally has W in clown makeup on the cover.

The Idiots Are Taking Over
siflandollysiflandollyshowROCK
He modified American idiot to say “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda” good on you Billy Joe…fuck yeah
jacobvandy
Also been performing Holiday with "pulverize the Donald Trump towers" in the breakdown for 8+ years.
StarscreamAndHutch
Punks doing punk stuff. Cant wait to see them in a few months.
Gopher9191
I'll be seeing them next month!
AliceInjection
That song is 20 years old and still just as relevant.
lapus
He recorded the soundtrack to my life.
MadamPuddifoot
My first ever CD was dookie. I think it came out either right before the parental advisory stickers or right after, cuz there's NO FUCKING WAY my family would have gotten it for me if they knew.
lapus
That was mine, too. First year of college. All of Green Day is my soundtrack. But freshman year, there were a lot of violent femmes as well.
siflandollysiflandollyshowROCK
LET ME GO OOOOONNNNNNNN
FlatPlutoSociety
American Idiot is one of the least subtle songs ever written and he STILL had to make it more explicit to make sure the MAGA chuds got it.
EternallyIgnorant
Then there is Rage Against the Machine...
Gopher9191
You mean Rage FOR the machine /s
EternallyIgnorant
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Twitter chuds gonna be posting about punk music "suddenly getting political " with zero irony.
Feralkyn
They already did. This isn't the first time they did this, and that was exactly the response
Filanwizard
Lots of right wing twitter thinks greenday has gone woke and political.
It’s almost like it’s rock music being rock music. Rock, all flavors of it has been politically charged for ages. And before that blues and jazz, not always via lyrics but just its place in society at times.
thatwoodguy
Let's see Nazi Punk's fuck off by the dead kennedys, Androgynous by The Replacements or that one by the Smiths what the hell is that called again
D1RTYPENGU1N
"it's like punks hate nazis or something!?"

Kathy Griffin, years ago
Fanner50
Wow, I got banned for this once
TofuGolem
Republicans are still butthurt about that while they routinely call for the extermination of whole populations and anyone who disagrees with them.
MapleSyrupMafia
The worst part is that the right screamed murder, when Libofshittok is being cheered for inciting bomb threats and sending mobs of angry morons harassing people. Then there's fatblob Jones and the others... Actual physical and psychological abuses, meanwhile a comedian with a fake head is the devil...
svga
interesting what the difference between an empty halloween mask vs a bloody severed head effigy
ThomasThundersword
indeed. AND the context. she took time to set up the bit, and was *very* clear she meant it was about his head being severed, what with all the blood everywhere. He was on stage when someone tossed up a mask with “idiot” written on it and he held it up and cheered. no planned, no reference to violence, none of that. huge fucking difference.
InfocalypseRising
And she got shit on by everyone for this.
ameranthe
She retracted her apology. “I take the apology back,” the comedian said on The View Monday morning. “Fuck him.” Griffin said the same goes for Don Jr. and Eric Trump, or as she calls them, “Eddie Munster and date rape.”
VosperOfAntarctica
Mass media owes her a massive afuckingpology
Cinammontoastcrunch
Did it kill her career? I remember watching her on D List when I was a teen, then all of a sudden she disappeared
listentothesoundbetweenyourlegs
She's too old to have it kill her career.
SpikeTheGoat
It got her kicked from that New Year's Eve show as far as I recall.
InfocalypseRising
She definitely fell off the map for a while. I don't know if she's made any kind of comeback.
