another great band and another great album...
No they're too mainstream for a blog like this. U2 will be posted next.
Sorry Mahmood for the comment above. I mistook Green On Red who aren't mainstream for Green Day who are.
The fact that someone could mix the two bands just goes to show how important - and urgent - it is for everybody to start paying attention to Green On Red, and its key role in 80's alternative US rock.
I rest my case.
Green Day is far too green for Green on Red
Thanx!
thanks for this
in passing if I was mischievous enough to look for signs of green day/U2 style fail I might point to the "mighty" lemon drops;) but the rest of the posts tell me that isn't likely.
Cheers, love this band.
For the U2 fan here's Kevin Shields take on Green on Red from the "Loveless" book by Mike McGonigal:
"If you hear it [the Green on Red original] you're gonna go 'fucking hell'...This one track had this kind of melody going over the top to the tune of the song, and he started messing around with the tremelo arm..."
