[QUOTE=Invalid-Username]Just out of interest did anyone go to the Pop Disaster Tour?[/QUOTE]

My god, I wished so bad I was in America when that tour was on, I'd have done anything to go.

I still would.

hey did y'all know that the mcr guitar player leraned to play guitar by imitating billie joe

do you actually know that or did someone just tell you?

i doubt that very much.

That is the weirdest way to learn how to play guitar I have ever heard.

how are you going to learn how to play by watching someone on stage play? :confused:

also, Billie never plays anything but chords : /

I guess that's why I think MCR sucks so bad.

from wiki

i dunno how he'd do it. yeh that wouldn't reallly work.

I'm sure you could maybe copy someone's technique. That's how I picked up my technique on bass, by watching Les Claypool perform live so many times.

The thing is, Billie Joe has no technique. :confused:

i think he does; its everyone else's technique

you can't learn technique by watching someone play, unless they're in front of you and you can see their thumb etc

I didn't necesarily learn it from watching, but I did pick up on a few things. I have my own technique layed down, but when I play people say I look like Les Claypool.

okay I jsut googled it and it says the same thing countless times. he imitated billie joe.

We aren't doubting he did. We're questioning why someone would copy Billie Joe to learn how to play guitar. Or at least I am. :p

no i wasn't sure eithier because wikipedia is written by regular people who could have teh wrong sources.

his guitar isn't nothing complicted.

His guitar playing isn't anything if you ask me.

no its okay! im thinking that all his stuff is easy to play, which is good for me cos I can play it w/ out much difficulty.

If you want to [I]learn[/I] guitar, why play Green Day songs? :lol:

He wants to learn to become teh mainstream.

she doesn't want to learn to become mainstream. she likes teh music. I would still like them if they weren't ms, anyway.

They really need gender labels on these forums. X-|

i tihnk most people preferred them when they weren't mainstream. : /

I know I sure did. Even their mainstream/sellout hits I enjoy, except for BOBD, that song just plain-out sucks, hard.

yeh I really don't give a **** if the band's mainstream or not, some people are just determined to label all mainstream as being bad.

I don't have any of thioer earlier ones, i just have from dookie on.

I haven't labeled Green Day as a bad band. I have ratted on MCR because I cannot stand their sound, but that's all the harm I've done. :p

no not specifically you just people.

i can't figure out what bobd stands for...?

ohhh. yes I don't particularly like the singles they put out besides holiday. can you believe on the radio they still occasionally play american idiot?

Man that song blows even harder. xP Holiday is a good song though.

what pisses me off is how much they edit out. like fag. in england thats like a ciggarette or something.
