Thread: Green Day "Bullet in a Bible"

Well I'm sitting at my desk listening to Green Day's Bullet in a Bible.

How did this band go so unoticed for 12 years. Brilliant stuff. If you ain't seen the DVD concert at Milton Keynes, UK go treat yourself.

From the opening bars the band has the whole crowd behind them. The audience know every word to every song. Terrific stuff.

I'm 51 in 10 days time and still rock to this music. Mind you I also like lesser known bands from the 70's such as Budgie, King Crimson etc.. My favourite band would be Ten Years After, Alvin Lee sure can rip up the blues.

My favourite single track would be Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit". Now where's my stash

Definitely off topic eh ?.

The first time I heard Green Day was their album "Dookie" back around 1994-1995. A really great album.

I reckon Billie Joe would have to be one of the better song writers of our time for sure.

I do like the early greenday stuff. Can't say I'm a fan of their newer stuff tho.

Give me some Early (85) springsteen or tommy and the shondells or Joan Jett....

If they have screaming guitars...I'm there.

Another recommendation is Jethro Tull's live DVD Living with the past, has all of the greats plus a few lesser known ones. Martin Barr is still some mean guitarist. And when they play "Hunt By Numbers" the whole place rocks. Literally. Turn up the vol and enjoy.

Stevie Ray Vaughn and John Lee Hooker They make the hair on the back of neck stand up and give me goose bumps...same with hendrix and the older santana.....

I don't know if you mean "unnoticed" by yourself, or by the rest of listeners, but they've been pretty big for quite a while. I guess I first heard their stuff in 1994. "Dookie" was their breakout album in that year. I bought "Nimrod" in 1997, too.

I'm a big fan of the "1990s rock." Nirvana, Soundgarden, Silverchair, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon, etc.

Then there's the older rock. I've got hundreds of old LPs in my collection. You name it, I've got it.
