Their "crime" is that they make terrible music.

This would not be surprising. We do live in a country where Trump is polling 40%.

As far as I can tell Green Day's only crime is selling a shitload of records….

I guess there are quite a few people whose music taste never went past age 13!

Hey now. Not everybody was born in the 1960s.

DUH ;)

I will defend Rhett to the limited extent of pointing out that nowhere did he say or imply Green Day wouldn't be an "instant" sellout. His argument seemed to be more centered around the fact that Green Day has put out terrible music for the better part of the last two decades¹ and they aren't worth going to see at $65 (even if $65 is relatively cheap for a band of their popularity stepping down out of arenas to clubs from a pure fair-market perspective).

All of which is extremely true. If I still lived in DC and you offered me a ticket at $20, I'd probably pass. They suck. I couldn't care less about their extremely insipid upcoming guyliner rock-opera which I'm sure is going to be equally awful as their last few extremely insipid already-extant guyliner rock-operas. Everything post-Dookie has been total ass.²

¹ - Hell, it's Rhett: he probably thought they were awful in their prime too. That's cool, that's Rhett. No sweat.

² - I'll give a casual acceptance to Warning, I suppose, if it'll avoid a fight. It was better than the crater of crap records on both sides of it but you can clearly see them starting to try out that fake-politic rhetoric for the South Park generation on it. But whatever.

I'm not a Green Day fan but it will be a good show… bank on it.

if I was actually going to be in town, I'd consider going to the Green Day show even though I'm not really that much of a fan…. mainly to make up for what was the worst sounding show I've ever been to, the Green Day show at MPP a few years ago…. I was in the pit but they had NO speakers/monitors pointed at us, the sound flew way over our heads and so even though I was closer to the band the 99% of people there, it sounded like I was 2 miles away…. so, I wouldn't mind finding out what Green Day actually does sound like in person….

Can we trade Green Day for Blink 182

or Midnight Oil??

I don't think I've ever seen them.. Sidehatch used to play their records all the time around when Dookie came out…I liked them at the time….They came out of that Descendents type thing at the beginning….then things couldn't help but change when they went stratosphere… I think Green Day and Rancid came out of the same scene in the San Francisco Bay Area but I could be mistaken (connections to Operation Ivy)….

Yes, Offspring too. 924 Gilman Street was the club at the epicenter of that.

Rancid came out of Op Ivy… Not sure if Green Day has any connection to them.

Energy is an all time classic album IMO.
