In all seriousness, Green Day's okay, but it's not on the same level as Nirvana, both in the sense that Nirvana, and that Nirvana is grunge, while Green day is more punk.
Its kinda unfair to compare the two bands isnt it? Nirvana essentially kick started the whole Grunge genre. Greenday, when alls said and done, are just another Punk band are they not? Don't get me wrong I like both bands. I wont knock one over the other. But comparing the two?
I miss good Black rock bands like Living Color and Fishbone, even Lenny was fine, but Black rock bands are so rare now. I also miss when hip hop/rap wasn't all bitch's and blink, what is really sad is that today's hip hop kids don't even know who Public Enemy was and why Chuck D may have been one of the most important rappers ever. I don't even like rap, but I loved Public Enemy, Chuck d's voice with the bombsquad laying down the tracks that actually had a message. His use of Flavor Flav as a foil was a brilliant call that most people miss. It's too bad that Flava is the only part of that band that is still around. Eck.

I myself prefer Black, Gothic and Gothic Synphonic bands. right now i am listening to Nightwish century child..... Back when Tarja was still with the band. Back when they were good. most pop or rap or hiphop today is gak in my eyes and i am pleased to say i hate it. apart from EminEm-hes actualy half way good. But most of it is about sex or disrespecting girls or anotgher fething love song and frankly i prefer to listen to people whom dont have to be auto tuned and have all the instumentals done for them.

The root of true punk is an honest non-conformist attitude. Punk is a dedication to the DIY mentality of playing music that does not bow to trends and the whims of the manstream music machine.
I. Many artists with various sound and styles are more punk in attitude then all the green days of the world who propagate a tired, shopping mall sanitized stereotype of punk.
Many bands are called "punk" and many strive to look "punk" and "sound punk", but are in fact not actually "punk" at all, but bastardized scenester "punks" caught up in the mainstream/pop culture definition of punk.
Shopping at Hot Topic does not a punk make, and little babies with "faux-hawks" sort of saddens me...

That's ugly, but not as ugly as when I heard that hack from Staind cover Comfortably Numb. I walked out of the concert at that point (and I wasn't there for Staind anyway).

I was there for Breaking Benjamin, but more specifically because the girl I was seeing at the time wanted me there. Going through the list of acts that they have, I notice that they always come up with an interesting knack for having one band I'd be really interested in seeing, and most of the bands I'd be interested in avoiding like the plague. Explains why I've not been back there since.

The Rolling Stones don't count?
Are the rolling stones Black?
It was a joke (sort of):
Read up on the rolling stones. Their musical roots/inspiration are in black soul and blues music which they have readily talked about and has been documented. They revere the old black blues musicians, etc.
That being said a band like In Living Colour where seen as a novelty "Oh my god black guys playing guitar based rock music?!?" when in fact what we know as rock & roll was spawned from the bossom of black blues guitarists and their music.
So in fact while rap may be seen as the music of choice of today's urban black youth, blues based guitar and by association rock & roll is really black culture's creation and the genesis for most of modern rock/metal music today (which has been mostly co-opted by non-black musicians).

I understand the idea, but it's not what I was referring to, there have been plenty of good Black rock bands. Widen your definition of black music and you have some of my favorites, Desmond Deker, Toots and the Maytals.
But I really miss the hard funk sound that came from bands like Fishbone, Living Color, Bad Brains, 247spies.

Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them.
