Unfortunately I'm no longer a Green Day fan. Infact, I probably hate them now.

I liked them before they were paid to change their image. I'm talking the pre-mascara/emo clothing/black hair stage that began at American Idiot.

Dookie and Nimrod were amazing.

It really all ended when I started playing the guitar, for the obvious reasons

Actually, unless I missed something... the reasons aren't obvious... I started playing guitar seven years before all the members of Green Day were born, but that's not a reason to like them or dislike them, is it? The reasons why I do or don't aren't obvious to anyone unless I state them. I'm not trying to argue with ya, or get you to like them. Afterall, I ain't got a nickel in it. But, since this is a forum, and we're following a thread, there may be some people out there who would like to know your reasons... and it can't just be "...because they suck..." or , "...they all wear eye makeup...", or "...because they're all in their 30's now, and they aren't punk enough..."

And thanks to the original poster for providing the chords. When I first listened to the CD, 21 Guns was the standout. I had heard Know Your Enemy before... so, I was used to hearing that one already.


Haha, ok you might have a point there. I still don't hate them or something like that, but I think that when all you're songs exist from powerchords, it might be interesting to try something new.
I like musicians who try different things better than musicians who found 'the magical formula' and exploit it.
But that's just my opinion. The 'obvious reasons' I was talking about, was that I only found out that they only play powerchords (well ok some songs have more than just powerchords), when I started to play the guitar myself.
I really get misinterpretated a lot lately...
I don't try to be mean, people!

I don't think that anyone's trying to be mean. And I don't think Green Day is the best band out there. But they are good at what they do, that's all. There's some people out there that can't even put a barre chord together.

I'm getting off this post now...
