Usher spoken in german is "Ascher" which means nothing more than "Ashtray" and also is actually a real better fitting name for that artist.

But still, the organizer perhaps gets more money if this guy can talk longer, and a bit of that more-money will be given to Greenday.....if they cut their concert from 45 to 30....

lol yeah but again kids these days only know about the shitty radio pop music and never listened to the old school bands like greenday.

theres some good music out, its just underground and hard to find x3 anyways, i agree with you here.

yeah its hard to find underground bands, but when ya do its like finding the holy grail

aye, depending on what you like, i might be able to shoot you a few bands or labels

defintly man, i like bands like NOFX, Dropkick Murphys, Vandals, Ramones, Greenday,etc

hm, I'm more of the hardcore/screamo side tbh, most of the bands i know you would already know. :P you might like Fugazi or rites of spring, those are both older though, the only current bands i know are harder and such, like Brothers, Xerxes, etc. so i dunno if you like that stuff as well

You already know. Old school is way better and has real music than this goddamn "auto tune" shit they have to make their voices "fly" hell no it doesn't.

yeah they might as well just have producers sing instead and release a album

/applause

*bows* thank you

tl;dr

Amen. I whole heartily agree with what Billy Joe did. Fuck the system. But if it were me, I wouldn't have stormed off. I would have kept playing until they pulled me off stage. Literally have security come and take me off. THAT would've been more punk of them than cursing and storming off, imo.

In all honesty, I think GD has lost their edge. I don't like their new stuff at all. "Oh, Love" is OK but it doesn't sound much like them. I guess I'll have to wait for the new album to drop. I didn't like American Idiot, 21 Guns, or any of their previous newer stuff. Wasn't the GD I know and love. Give me stuff like their album 'Warning' and before. I do understand that bands mature and evolve but it doesn't mean I -have- to like it.

But I also see it from the corporate view. Usher is more popular today than Green Day is. This was an IHeartRadio event. It's "who they think is the bigger name will win" game and GD lost and lost it onstage.

On a different topic: This has been going on for years. When the Beatles first blew up on the scene, fans (mostly teenage prepubescent girls) were clamoring maniacally over them much like the boy bands and pop stars of the 80s, 90s, 00s, and today i.e. new Kids on the Block, Backstreet, Nsync, Bieber, One Direction, Kesha etc.

The generation that loved and grew up with the Beatles, I can guarantee that their parents, of the previous generation before, disliked them. Much like today where I, and many other adults above the age of 25, can't stand whatever pop music is out today. Sadly, today's generation loves it. It sucks growing up and that's what's happening. It's best to ignore it as a whole though you can't get away from it no matter what you do. I hate sounding like a parent: "Today's music is nothing compared to what I was growing up with."

There are few who slip through the cracks that I enjoy like Adele, Cee-Lo, even Psy. You just have to know how to weed out the good from the terrible. Whatever MTV plays today, including ALL their shows and videos (if any at all) I don't watch at all or can't stand. In fact, I stopped watching MTV after Carson left TRL. Only watched TRL for the Korn videos. Something good betwixt all of the bubblegum pop. Oh, and also when Britney was wearing skimpy outfits. >.>

But unfortunately you won't ever see bands like The Beatles ever again. During their tenure, they grew and matured and their fans grew and matured with them. That's why they are beyond legendary today.

I'm in no doubt a rock fan. Feed me more. I want to hear it all. Good or bad, I'll make my opinion of it.

I can say the same thing for terrible pop music today with today's radio rock. It really does suck but the bands -could- be something later on. But for most bands i.e. 5 Finger Death Punch, Volbeat, Adelita's Way, their previous efforts before they sold out to mainstream radio is so much better. Good thing my radio station here plays a good bit of older stuff.

Sorry for rambling up your page.

not a prob dude, i see where ya coming from. :)

WHen I saw this, I saluted him

Yeah man, all the good bands from back in the day used to have outbursts on stage, and they all really were on drugs too. It was not uncommon to have people flip shit and walk off stage, and since when is it a bad thing to smash your guitar on stage? That was like the coolest shit at one point. Now all these pussies these days get offended by it? what losers. I'm not much of a Green Day fan anymore because I think they've gone totally soft and gotten really lame over the last few albums, but hey they scored a few points from me with this. Rock music isn't supposed to be tame, it's a good thing to show emotion to make it more real. I agree, fuck today's music and today's bands and today's society in general with all of it's overly sensitive butthurt whiners that think it is an "embarrasment" to watch a band get mad after getting fucked over by the venue.

Lame shit is lame.

true true, have to admit that GD new album is pretty cool and goes back to its roots. It sounds a lot like kerplunk mixed with dookie in my opinion. True about the butthurt people too. Just because there a bit more tame now then they were back in the day doesn't mean they have to stay tame. That's like getting offended or butthurt at the fact of a tame tiger attacking there trainer, its still a fucking tiger.

Usher was amazing in the 90s. He isn't auto tuned but he has sold out because of the times changing. More money rather than more interesting music.

It's easier to pop out a club track these days. People have become less cultured and intelligent in America. They need differentiate from a song to dance to in club and a song that really sends a message and is composed with real talent.
I don't hate pop music because it's catchy and fun but I know it has no talent and would never get my money. I heart radio attendees are unfortunately people who think it is talented music.

the only good thing about some of today's music is the beats
