Review of Green Day by Dante07

Advantages: all
Disadvantages: nothing

Green Day are a three piece from Berkley, California, USA. Billie Joe (guitar and vocals) and Mike Dirnt (Bass and backing vocals) have known each other since they were 10. They used to be called Sweet Children and had a different drummer (John not Tre Cool). John was the drummer on their compilation of early E.P.s 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, but he decided he wanted to go to college and nominated his drum tutor Tre to take over. They renamed ...
...Baby) to Green Day - a song title on 1039/smooth... A "green day" is a day spent smoking pot. They first started off in 1989 and sold 50,000 copies of 1039/smooth.. just by word of mouth through the underground scene in the US. Green Day broke through and got a mainstream record label (changed after Dookie) and they haven't looked back since. Throughout all their albums (Kerplunk, Dookie (Grammy nominated), Insomniac, Nimrod, Warning, Shenanigans ... Read review

Great Alt. Rock Band
Review of Green Day by bboothe83

Advantages: Songs Rock, Lots of Billboard Hits
Disadvantages: None

...music the last album from Green Day was still very enjoyable. I have all of my favorite Green Day songs loaded on my iPod, so they are handy whenever I want to rock out! Their songs from the last album had alot of meaning to them and dealt alot with politics and the state of the nation. I find it pretty hard to believe if you have not heard of this band before, but if you havent, then you need to check them out ASAP! ... Read review

Greenday
Review of Green Day by thegandhimancan

Advantages: They sound good
Disadvantages: They're too simple to play

I have read one sour, 1-star review of Greenday and two five-star review and i have to say i disagree with them all. For me, Greenday are one of my favourite bands in terms of sound, but their technique and playing is very simple. The band is made up of three members: Billy Joe Armstrong (lead vocals and guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass and backing vocals) and Tre Cool ( drums and backing vocals). They have had a lot of albums, which have all been amazing, ...
...dangerously close to emo. They are known for extremely simple, yet satisfying guitar riffs and bass lines. The guitar revolves mainly around power chords (the easiest type of chord in guitar-playing) and is extremely simple to play. This is one of the reasons I like and dislike them. It should be more complicated than it is, but isn't the quality really all that matters. ... Read review

Green Day - American Idiot
Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day by ManUtdBoi taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages everything
Disadvantages nothing

...I first heard this on MTV’s The Leak, a section of their web page where they preview an album in its entirety the week prior to its official release. Not being one to really take notice of MTV, it took pure luck to come across it, but being the huge Green Day fan that I am, I had to spoil it for myself and have a listen. So, as the tracks went by, my heart raced faster with every minute, listening to the finest music that Green Day have ever made. With the exception of ‘Basket Case’ and ‘Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)’, this could easily be Green Day’s very own greatest hits. Being from the UK, it was released a day earlier here than in the US, giving me full opportunity to listen …. and listen …… and listen, before most other people had the chance. Billie, Mike, Tre …………….. thank you very much indeed ! I have to say that a large... Read review

Green Day are no Idiots.
Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day by kylecoare taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Good Vocals, Political, rocking tunes
Disadvantages one or two fillers

...GREEN DAY ----------------- AMERICAN IDIOT 2004 REPRISE RECORDS. -------------------------- So having been away from the Internet for way too long, I actually missed out on writing a review on this fine album when it was released, but the good thing is that it’s given me even more time to listen to it and give an honest opinion, so here we go. Green Day, as anyone that has read any of my reviews will know, are one of my favourite bands. They formed way back in the middle to late 80’s, when school friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt decided that they would start playing punk rock. At first they called themselves ‘Sweet Children’, but shortly afterwards decided to change their name to ‘Green Day’. They released their first E.P, named after their previous band name, in 1987 on a small indie label called Skene records... Read review

Green Day - American Idiot
Review of Green Day by ManUtdBoi taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages return of legends in some style
Disadvantages let's not get picky now !!!

...Yes, before you say it, I know this may be incorrectly categorised but having heard Green Day's new album, American Idiot, prior to Monday's release date I thought I should share my views with you. For a band that have released album after album of stirring pop-punk, you'd be forgiven for thinking that they would finally produce a bad album..........NO CHANCE ! 'American Idiot' is yet another slice of Green Day at their incredible best. With this record supposedly very personal to Billie Joe Armstrong and with the obvious Anti-America feel to it, this may be the record that makes them legends, or sees them sink below their homeland for the stand that they have taken. But as a fan, all I can say to the guys, is THANKYOU Opening track 'American Idiot' is a standard Green Day track, re-living Basketcase through the pure energy of it... Read review

Healthiest lifestyle!!!!!
Review of A Liberal Decalogue by  Heartless

Advantages: Say goodbye to doctors, illnesses and more.
Disadvantages: It's a bit hard when you first start.

...(these are my powders) Penta Water (around two cups) - Any water is fine whenever is iodized or reverse osmozied -reverse osmosis- The bests ones are Penta, Fiji, Evian (more expensive to less expensive) Do not ever use tap or cheap filters. I also add around two tablespoons of raw agave nectar. Raw agave nectar has good properties and it also sweetens this elixir. With these you can almost pass all the day because the greens, spirulina and wheatgrass will provide you with all the essential vitamins. Greens will provide you with fiber and proteins -yes, we can process and assimilate vegetable based protein when is blended, as the tissues of fiber are broken and all the good stuff gets out. Goji berries will provide you with the 11 essential amino acids you need. Flax seeds will provide you with all the fatty acids. Sprirulina, MSM... Read review

Tom Jones : Unforgettable Singer
Review of Tom Jones by  cristine32766

Advantages: very entertaining music
Disadvantages: none

...The music of Tom Jones captivated my heart as early as my childhood days during the 1970s up to my teenyears. He is my uncle's favorite who used to bring cassette tapes of Tom Jones to our house, that'a how I got acquainted with his music. The singer Tom Jones sings very beautifully and always with deep passionate feelings.He has a very captivating high quality voice that immortalized great songs such as "My Elusive Dream", :One Day Soon", "She's A Lady", "Green Green Grass","Help Yourself", "Delilah", "I Who Have Nothing", "I Believe" and many other great hits. His rendition of the song "Green Green Graee" and "I Believe" was just marvelous. He was indeed s hitmaker of the 1960a up to 1970s and I believe he is one of the best male vocalist the American music industry produced. Tom Jones is one great singer who will remain... Read review

My life so far as a writer
Review of Life by  rampancy

Advantages: All about me and my reading/writing habits
Disadvantages: I guess it's boring if you don't like me. :]

...of an automobile in a hailstorm. I remember in childhood how cooking up amazing tales and learning to spell seemed to be my true "raison d'etre", or reason to be. Looking back now it becomes painfully obvious to me that any writer will most likely endure isolation from the masses simply because of their tendency to think and re-think ideals. Though my inspiration and drive seem to be missing, my passion for language will never be left out in the cold. Even now in this recession, I am ever vigilant that if I press on and stay persistent, the fire will return to me just as the green to foliage in the spring. I will continue to write these words regardless if anyone listens or cares, because they are eternal. Words are everlasting. If one day my words prove useful to society in some way, then I can die happily. Until that day, I will remain silent... Read review
