"Green Day isn’t 1/100 of what Lynyrd Skynyrd was, it’s an insult to Rock and Roll to even mention Gangrene Day in the same sentence with Skynyrd."

Hell, it's an insult to rock'n'roll to mention Green Day in the same sentence as Culture Club!

Every state has rednecks. I moved to a town that everyone told me was a redneck town. Raised a family there and loved the whole area. It wasn’t in the south.

LOL Billie Armstrong is one of the biggest imbeciles in music. There are a ton of stories on his lack of IQ

“In response, Armstrong wrote ‘American Idiot’ as a retort to that Southern mindset, most neatly noted in the lyric “redneck agenda.”

And nobody cared.

Rural Michigan is pretty much like Alabama. I saw Confederate Flags everywhere.

Country is bad rock with a fiddle but Tom Petty is bad singer with good guitar.

Green Day’s first hit song was about a guy sitting around masturbating at home. Real classy.

Green Day? What a joke! Ole Neil Young will remember, Southern man don’t need him around anyhow.

Green Day just wishes they could write ONE song as good as a Skynyrd song.
