If you havent guess who this post is about by the picture and the quote and you live in this side of the world, you havent really live! They are Green day a Bnad that I discovered a little later than Britney and that in pop culture it is actually a litle less know. They had been a Band since I remember but I discover them exactlly when I was in middle school when my best friend Bryan (that is now a very nice photographer) introduce me to a couple of bands. I dont know if he had they originally cd but I know that I burn a lot of CDs from rock band. At then end the only one that I liek was Green day and not only like but love. Since them Green day Have become one of those artist that I buy cds from... I dont remember when I had my last cd player and since a lot of time ago I dont own my self any type of device that I can play them at and I still keep buying every single album that they put out because I just know it is going to be sickening no matter what and that I should have it...
When I discovered green day it change my life bcause as britney they where a bit of an influence constructing my personality, I was diferent and so was my friend but in my case greenday kinda gave me the tools (some really cool ones) to showcase that diferences in My personality so all of the sudden I start using converse in my conservative scool! yes converse and It was the 20's where everyone did not use converse where cacos see them not as there new bling bling but as the shows that the rockeros use and that they represented evil, Next I start using a belt with spikes and next thing you know I was quite a cool kid going on to higschool.

Other than defining my own style they have obviosly won some grammys. over 75M copies and Even been nominated to a couple of Emmys. If there is something that I have to admmit is that like any other artist there consistency is not the best they have like every other 2 albums an amazing album When I start listening to them I was one of the fans that they gain in there 2nf shot where they where on everybodies mouths. By that time and as they have always done their lirycs where and are very very political. The interesting thing about them is that they are not as direct as I dont know Pink let say sometimes but other times they are but because they are having so much fun with the lirycs. What this does is that I was able to like them as a teenager. I mean who wont like a song that start sayin "Dont wanna be an American Idiot" (when your 14). As a grown up I like them not for wich words they use but fo wiich message they put across, that It is pretty much a huge critisism.
When they beame famous it was a controversy between rock fans because they where obviosly sing up by a mayor Label and it generate the disscusion of if they where or not punk. Because if your selling millions of copies and have everything you need to be main stream how can you call you self punk!? that it is trying to portrait the opposite.

Going back to the Emmys thing, very relevant from Green day is that they where a bit bored once, so they just made a musical with their song of one of their most controversial and popular albums (American Idiot) that scale up to broadway!. There shows are very fun my favorite live concert is Bullet in bible that was the one that they produce exaxtly after the American Idiot album. As I said before it was the 2nd time that the where a hit again so it also show case a bit more in that live album of the history of their band how they do music and such stuff that when you really like a band you like to heard over and over again.
So as I always like to I leave you some treats the first two are oblygatory if you like this post! and ill see you around with my converse and spike belt :D (ill post them later)
