- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Tuned into this last night - we have never watched Green Day perform although we have liked a few of their singles but were never inspired enough by them to purchase an album.
Despite trying to 'get' what they are about I ended up thinking that they were totally lame - although the hyped-up fans in the audience seemed ecstatic I was to struggling to see what the excitement was all about.
The front man, one Billy Joe Armstrong (I admit to having to Google this), was a peculiar mixture of Norman Wisdom strutting across the stage with some of Davina's facial expressions at her absolute worst. He just didn't look 'Rock Star' at all. In itself this is ok if you can sing but he can't. Pure and simple he has a boring flat monotone voice that lacks real power. His cries of 'go!' and 'come on!' were comical. In short I like my lead singers to be able to sing and have some real charisma. BJA is as flat as a pancake.
I have no idea who the other members of the band are but they typify Stateside Rock to me - boring, and lazily bringing absolutely nothing to the party.
Green Day.......dull, tedious and massively over-hyped. Probably sound great when you are *issed though, but then so do One Direction.
