Society & Culture Things that Make You Feel Old

That annoyed the **** out of me in one post, if I had to put up with that around me 9-5 I'd go postal.

We were about 13, it used to annoy our parents too.

Sitting on a deep tissue massager trying to relax my Piriformis muscle that is pinching my sciatic nerve. My body feels so old.

Yeh f*k that

A group of chicks we used to bang ( around with ) used to talk in “ Illif” , similar thing that used to do my head in

Heard an old favourite, Linda Ronstadt, singing "You're No Good", on the radio in the car this morning (I use a ray-dio ).

I saw Linda Ronstadt at the MCG back on Feb 24, 1979.

Blue Bayou is such a cracker of a tune.

I blame The Ramones for Green Day

I saw the Ramones at one of the early BDOs.

To much time building a car port thingy tring to use your powers to the greater good instead of throwing things ..

Very up and down career but they gave us Dookie and American Idiot, both classics.

Some bands only have one good song or album.

I think they touring here .

 

[the_interloper]

Why..?

I tried learning a Green Day song on guitar and it just reminded me of the Ramones, a lot, the way they riff, dunno, I'd say Billie Joe is a big fan. Plus they have covered them a bit I believe.

I never vibed with them at all, the pop punk stuff like them, Blink 182 and the like not my jam, might be common for a metal head though.

Lots of bands learn stuff and steal riffs of older bands .
Even if they don't sound the same.

Insomniac was my fav

They definitely have a bit more than one. I find them an interesting case study because they were huge in the early 90s but were clearly fading out of relevance, then had a second career with American Idiot. Not many bands get two shots at mainstream success, usually it's more like a Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters where once the initial mainstream success has passed, they have a core group of fans that hang around. Surprisingly, after a decade of average albums, Green Day's latest is an absolute belter. Three great albums, all years apart.

Oh yeah and I totally support this by the way, I try and come up with my own stuff and it's impossible not to sound like Metallica/Megadeth/Tool etc. My only point was that I don't like Green Day and I feel The Ramones were a big influence.

It's good when bands can still produce a ripper past their peak. Judas Priest's latest album was a cracker and they started in 1969

Depends on personal taste..

I would not put green day on the same level as PJ/Foo fighters.
But that's just me.

You're dead to me.

I agree, both much more consistent (although Foofies have had some down periods), just interesting that Green Day have had such peaks and troughs.

I took my mum to their Hell Freezes Over concert and found the exception to the general rule that drugs improve everything. I enjoyed Joe Walsh's two songs though.

You'd have to be a desperado not to like the Eagles.
