I will always love Green Day. American Idiot was a pretty prominent soundtrack to my highschool days. I still haven’t completely digged into 21st Century Breakdown, but I am working on it. I am spinning American Idiot as we speak, and it is bringing back some cool forgotten memories.
One song that has made a pretty significant impression on me is “21 Guns”. Green Day have a really big potential hit on their hands (if it isn’t already, I don’t follow the charts/popular radio anymore). Something about that delicate guitar effect, the unusual pattern of the guitar riffs, and Bille Joe’s falsetto add up to something nice. This song stuck out to me immediately. The song makes you reflect a bit.
Love them, or hate them Green Day is going to be remembered for a long time. Let’s face it, who is going to truly be remembered in 20 years? Look who dominates the charts these days…Lady GaGa, Flo Rida, Nickelback, Soulja Boy, Tim McGraw.
Green Day is looking mighty good right now eh?
