Green Day was always one of my favorite bands. I even loved the American Idiot album when it first came out. The title track was a good opening single. Boulevard of Broken Dreams was probably my favorite song on the CD until the video came out and it got played to death. The Wake Me Up When September Ends video was pretty pretentious, what with the long-winded "dramatic" beginning, but the fact that they had the balls to make a video for Jesus of Suburbia was the straw that broke the camel's back. Come on, 9 minutes? it's not like it was some sweeping epic. It's four pop-punk songs strung together with some piano chords. And the video was so over-the-top with that "punk rock" fag, that I pretty much lost whatever respect I had left for the band.

I have not heard this collaboration song yet, and I don't really want to, because if there's anybody who thinks more highly than themselves than Green Day, it's the fucking wankers from U2.

PRETTY SURE THAT WAS A RANT
