I Hate Kerrang Now

It's so nice that Kerrang decided to name Green Day "The Best Band in the World" What the hell were they thinking? Green Day would be the best band on the planet if suddenly every band ceases to exist, aside from Metallica, some 80's cock rock, and all that 70's Hard Rock. Green Day also got "Best Live Show." They so deserved that award, because Green Day does awesome things on stage like jam tools under the guitar strings, trash the set, and do noise/jams. Oh wait, that's Sonic Youth.

I've seen Green Day live. It was a good show, but definitely not the best. There are soo many underrated bands out there who don't get any recognition. That Kerrang award is all based on popularity. If there were truly naming the best band in the world, they would consider how influential they are, along with how talented they are with their instruments. Green Day falls up short in both those catergories, especially the latter.

You see, I used to be quite the Green Day fan. I learned how to play a majority of their songs off of the "American Idiot" album. What I've come to notice is almost every song uses the same chords. F5, Ab5, Db5, Eb5.... those four chords are in almost every song. What does that tell you?

Green Day: sellouts.
