Research a bit. Please. You're embarrassing yourselves.
First of all, Green Day (TWO WORDS) is NOT a heavy metal band. They never have been. They started off as pure punk, recording their first album in approximately 22 hours (1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours). They are not a 'new' band, having started their first band 'Sweet Children' in 1986, at the age of 14. The song 'Christian's Inferno' is a part of their second rock opera, '21st Century Breakdown' which tells the story of a girl, Gloria (hence the song ¡Viva la Gloria!) and CHRISTIAN (Hence the song 'Christian's Inferno'). They are not metal, and they have drifted away from punk. It is all now stripped down Rock 'n' Roll. They are not satanic in any way. See, being a liberal band, they wrote their hit album 'American Idiot' in the midst of Bush's term, and they had the right to. 'American Idiot' does not state that Americans are unintelligent, but rather that a select few can be. 'Jesus of Suburbia' tells us of what happens within the underbelly of our country. How there are people out there who have not found God, and how not all people agree. The album tells the story of two people, much like '21st Century Breakdown', but 'American Idiot' takes place during the climax of the war in Iraq, causing several of the characters' friends to join the military for a war that made no sense. Green Day (still, two words) IS NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN satanic. They sing songs of hope, of strength, of freedom amongst youth. Give your children a little room to breathe. You aren't your child. Give them a chance to learn what goes on for themselves. Green Day is a band in which EVERY MEMBER is a Christian, including 'The Big Three', which consists of Jason White, Jason Freese, and Jeff Matika. People, do your research before you make arguments you can't back up. Learn about what others know more than you about. Let's see how many failed arguments against this I get.
