Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

My cousin who teaches music at a Baptist church school in Kansas has assured me that the Greendays are indeed heavy metal, of the acid variety, she tells me.

There you have it from an educator, so can we please stop bickering about this particular issue?

An educator who happens to be VERY ill educated.

This is from wikipedia: Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987.

This is from green day authority: They were the best kept secret in rock and roll. They turned punk to the mainstream,

This is from Rolling Stone: they are one of the biggest bands in rock and roll, and they lead the second coming of punk rock.

The three quotes above are just small examples from a vast pool of answers regarding what genre Green Day are. But the general consesus is that they are, indeed, a PUNK rock band. NOT heavy metal.

Your 'educator' is wrong. Send them back to school so they can learn the facts and stop spouting crap to you.

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

Recently I found out about a new up-and-coming hard metal band called "Greenday" that produces the most dangerous, satanic, anti-America, anti-Christian music yet!



Their songs include titles like "American Idiot," "Jesus of Suburbia," "East Jesus Nowhere", "Christian's Inferno", and "Murder City" just to name a few.

Does this sound like anything in accordance with Psalm 150?

1Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Apparently, this band is very popular with the kids, and that explains the increase in anti-social behavior and violence we have witnessed!



This devil music is subversive to GOD, America, and parents. This music contains foul language, is pro-homosexuality, pro-drugs, pro-abortion, and pro-liberal. I also believe that "Greenday" has spent many hours studying satanic rhythms designed to summon demons.



You may also notice that the members of this three-man satanic army are covered in tattoos and makeup, which is their not-so-subtle way of rebelling against GOD's commands not to make cuttings in our flesh or to wear that which pertains to a woman. (Leviticus 19:28, Deuteronomy 22:5)

Please pray against the satanic forces at work behind this music, and pray that GOD will either redeem or swiftly damn all those who are aiding in its creation.

GOD bless you, Brothers and Sisters!

Greenday Satanic?
Greenday metal?
Hahaha I laugh at that.
Greenday are punk want to bes. They are in fact pop.
Greenday although annoying, are pretty harmless.

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

Naaaah, religious people that are as uptight and closed minded as this don't seem to have a sense of humour. They're too terrified that all mighty lord satan might pop up and eat their brains for giggling too much and consequently enjoying themselves and giving in to sin

I feel a Dylan Moran quote coming on....

And yet, people still turn to Jesus. You will notice though that the kind of people who turn to Jesus tend to be the sort of people who haven't done that well with everybody else.

Or:

Catholics feel so much shame...I am actually walking towards the biscuit, I didn't realise I was, but now I do, oh oh oh I am actually eating the biscuit...oh no, oh the shame, oh I don't know what's better, THE BISCUIT OR THE SHAME..oh oh the shame.

The man has religion down to a tee!!

Well this I will give you. Only in our degenerate, twisted society would the mainstream turn on their radios and enjoy listening to these hooligans sing nine minute songs littered with F-words that insult JESUS CHRIST, bash George W. Bush, make a mockery of the American way of life, and push gays down our throats.

I weep for mainstream America.

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

Green Day should be called Green Gay concidering the fact that those fags wear makeup

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

You Jesus-people have no-idea about pop-culture, do you? Green Day (see, two words) is a commercial pop-punk/ rock 'n roll band that DOES NOT threaten the youth of the world. And they can wear make-up and do what ever they want. Everyone has rights to do what they want, it's a free country!

They even wrote a song called "Church on Sunday"! And the song "Christians Inferno" isn't about burning religious people, it's a song about a character called Christian.

Isn't your God meant to love all, or something along those lines? All you 'rules' are a load of bull-plop.

Ohhh... you over-religious dorks never learn....

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

I'll re-write my post to be a bit more kind.
Green Day is not metal they are punk, if you want an example of a metal band, you should look up a band like Metallica. You Christians should also learn to let other non-believers believe and say what they want to say. Everyone is entitled their own opinion. We will respect yours if you respect ours.
Green Day is not anti-God or anti-American, their music addresses many political points.
All members of Green Day are caring people with their own families, and Billie does NOT molester children.

If their was anyone to blame for screwing up the youth through music, blame Justin Beiber and Lady Ga Ga, and other people like that.

Hope you understand OUR opinions, long live Reverend Strychnine Twitch! (lol)

No, God does not love all. Proverbs 6:16-19 "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."

[Cranky Old Man]

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

Green Day is not metal they are punk

Is there a difference?

You Christians should also learn to let other non-believers believe and say what they want to say.

Of course not! We can not stand idly by while people doom themselves to Hell. Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

Green Day is not anti-God

You clearly never actually listened to their music!

^I have listened to Green Day, i happen to be listening to them right as I am writing this.
Because God hates certain aspects of people, doesn't that make him (or her, or it) a giant hypocrite?

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

Tell me now, does this sound like an anti- God metal song:
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

Seriously? How could Green Day be metal?

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

They probably ate a lot of red meat. But why does it matter how they became metal? You should just stop listening to them.

Re: New Metal Band "Greenday" Threatens Our Youth!

No cranky old man can tell me to stop listening to good music!
I don't care if I go to hell, at least fun people will be there!
