It could be argued that any further commentary about this song being "overplayed" has that "worn-out feel", though most of us have written that comment for some song, at some point. [ Reply ]
Hannio Jul 28, 2012 - 10:00	I never cared for the singer's adenoidal voice. He sounds like a mouth breather. Other than that, great song! [ Reply ]

flutgos Dec 13, 2011 - 08:24	One of the first songs that I really liked. I was about 7 when I saw the video on MTV. They were my favorite band until the very early 2000's. Warning was their last good album. [ Reply ]

Not going to find any hate here (the negativity around some of the comments lights me up every now and then) Gotta stay open to change, it seems that's all there is Thanks Bill! I must add that I like plenty of newer artists, just not so much the more popular ones. I read SPIN Magazine's top albums of last year and couldn't find much that I knew or liked. That's why I'm thankful for RP, so I can hear new artists that I never would on corporate radio. [ Reply ]
That_SOB Mar 10, 2011 - 12:17	Perhaps Green Day has etched a special place for themselves in the American "socially conscious punk scene," and to a large extent kept this genre alive. I hear the Ramones, the Clash, Sex Pistols—— ( ah, mosh pit anyone ?) and while some consider them a "sell out," many believe they have stayed true to their core while showing growth, like all good bands do. Green Day is NOT the Enemy ~! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiKZVV3cH6Q [ Reply ]

I'm at the age they were 15-20 years ago. I hate most of the popular current bands, like Arcade Fire, Doves, and The National. To me, they don't stand up musically or emotionally to classic rock, or the grunge, pop-punk, ska, and alternative rock of the '90's. Maybe that's how the haters feel about this music. Who knows, perhaps in 20 years I'll like the current crop of popular bands while the 30 somethings don't. To me this is good, regardless of how much play it got. I don't listen to standard radio much, so it's nice to hear Green Day on occasion.

Green Day makes a lot of good music, AND they happen to be popular. Deal with it, life isn't always fair. And don't forget to smash your Arcade Fire CDs on the way out the door... Also, I should mention that for a lot of people my age (who I know are a good portion of the listeners here) Dookie was a big deal to us as younger adults/teens... it was an ubiquotous part of the soundtrack of our lives for alt rock folks from that era, and deservedly so. Wow, I just posted something similar before your post came through. I agree, this is important coming of age music to me. I hate Arcade Fire the way people who were my age when this came out apparently hated it. [ Reply ]

(former member) Mar 10, 2011 - 11:49	Saw em live this year on the 21st Century Breakdown tour. As energetic as Springsteen As rude as the Who And choreographed to pseudo-chaotic perfection. The random running and jumping certainly organized to make sure that the camera/light guys knew exactly where they'd be each second. It was a blast, for the most part. There was a part where they seemed to run out of steam and lay on the stage and waste time, and that coulda been excised. But, man, these guys rocked like mofos. Billy Joe has morphed from Paul Westerberg to Pete Townshend. Strong recommendation, seriously. [ Reply ]
