Got Greenday Tickets for Manchester this morning

New album out 15th May - 21st Century Breakdown. By all reports better than American Idiot and is a rock opera spilt into 3 parts.

Anyone else enjoy songs with themes ranging from masturbation through to anti war/bush??

(Que a series of posts declaring that Greenday are crap ect.)

Indeed we have and thank god.

Thank god for Dylan who realised that lyrics were the most important part of music.

What you say is as important as how you say it.

He was a poet and he didn't know it!

Nonesense. Some great songs have few if any lyrics.

I'd park myself firmly on the fence with this debate. solo singer/songwriters in general work best with a no nonsense, down to basics approach. By contrast, if you've got a band full of people with exceptional musical talent, then they can say more with sound than they ever could with words (he says, as he heads dangerously close to 'head up own arse' territory)

Just had a look for tickets. £37.50 + booking fee + handling charge = £45.00 per ticket. The O2 can s*ck my b*lls!

Got a O2 Priority Ticket update via text regarding them playing at the 02, replied immediately to find the offer had ended FFS

I've always liked Greenday (Since Dookie) but I'm not too keen on the new single, way too repetitive even for them. I expect the album to be better though

Struth!

screech powers, old chap, are you sure you got the name right? Greed Day seems more appropriate.

It's not the band Dujon, but the ticket sellers. Bloody rip off!

Well listened to the new album twice now and can say confidently that it's their best album , stand out tracks for me are 'Viva La Gloria', 'The Static age' and 'American Eulogie'

Its 2000 light years from the likes of Dookie and Warning in content but the substance is still there , ripping chords and aggressive delivery.

If American Idiot didnt already , this album should propel the band into the history books as pioneering legends of music.

This is just my umble opinion of course

I personally think its a poor mans effort at recreating American Idiot and 6-7 tracks too long. Had they trimmed it down to a normal album's length it'd be up there with the best of their stuff but as it stands, its too long and a little pretentious. I do love some of the more obvious tracks though.

S'ok, the bits I've listened too, but "pioneering legends" I'm not sure about...
