December 12, 200817 yr Exactly! They've not even picked popular songs by their own band, let alone popular songs by the other artists. Who's not going to love the U2 & Beatles tracks on our mix? Not to mention the Radiohead choice...
December 12, 200817 yr Oh no!!!!!! Green Day is beating the crap out of the poor poor Strokes.......... :bigcry: 77%-23% :\ EDIT: I think by now we can all agree next one will be against Green Day...... :\ here's a little something from their forumThings are looking good for us here in the quarter finals. We're currently up 74% - 26%. If this holds, we're up next against Coldplay from Coldplaying.com next Tuesday, December 16th. We will definitely have a tougher competition with them. We have a much larger member base here on GDC compared to the two forums we've gone up against so far, but Coldplaying has a total of 37,000 members, compared to our 29,000. They also seem to have much more active members during the day, so it will be not such an easy win as we've shown in these two. We really need to get the vote out. They had help from the official site (see post here), while I don't think we need help from GreenDay.com, we just need to do our best to reach everyone else. I really doubt there are people who visit GD.com who don't already visit GDA. Just for some friendly motivation, here are some quotes that should help get us excited. As a reminder, I do not want people going over to the Coldplaying forums and causing trouble (GreenDayForever08, specifically you) I think is so funny that they feel the need to point out their own trouble makers!!!!!! :lol:
December 12, 200817 yr I think is so funny that they feel the need to point out their own trouble makers!!!!!! :lol: :laugh3: Yes, that is funny! We'll just have to try our best again in the next round and hope for the best!
December 13, 200817 yr oh-HO, they don't think they need help from the official site, do they? :P well, maybe they don't, but anchorman has saved our ass twice now. i would say official help is invaluable. hahaha, and it's nice that they told them not to come and cause trouble over here. love the shout-out to their biggest troublemaker! :lol:
December 13, 200817 yr Love that post... it'll be hard because I'm a pretty big fan of Green Day myself and it'll be a tough match because it's two very varying moods of music against each other
December 13, 200817 yr haha, that's definitely the truth about the varying moods. i definitely appreciate green day, but i haven't listened to them in years, and i have to be in the right mood. it's going to be two different types of fans voting the next time around. and i'd never vote against coldplay or coldplaying for anyone, even radiohead or the strokes. if it was just artist vs. artist, the choice between coldplay and the beatles would pain me, but i'd have to go coldplay, maybe.
December 13, 200817 yr I'm somewhat embarrassed to say green day was the first band I really got into five or more years ago. Until then I was never really into music or actual bands, only a handful of song from the radio...but I did like boulevard of broken dreams when I heard it one night and looked up the band the next day. Dookie is a decent punk album and AI isn't bad either. I liked it because of the simple rythm and melody, but a couple years later I came across coldplay, and realized how one-dimensional green day was in comparison. These days I'm happy to say they've disappeared from my mp3 player (save for a couple songs :P) and have been replaced by a mountain of coldplay, u2, radiohead and sigur ros.
December 13, 200817 yr I have absolute confidence we'll win this (I did for the last 2 rounds) xP :dozey: (was never really into green.. day)
December 13, 200817 yr ^ I agree, if coldplay was gonna lose, it would've been against Keane, Muse or Radiohead, and luckily we all got bunched in the same end of the bracket.
December 13, 200817 yr yeah, ok but their playlist? blaah they could've picked better songs:\ anyhow, I think facing pink floyd will be tough (if it ever happens)
December 13, 200817 yr Green Day's got a pretty strong fanbase, so I wouldn't underestimate themIndeed. Heh... I love how we're looking at their forum laughing at some of the funny things they're saying about us, and they're looking at our forum laughing about some of the silly things we're saying about them. :laugh3: Hello Green Day people! *waves* Congratulations on your win. :nice: Next week should be fun, eh?
December 13, 200817 yr HUHH Indeed. Heh... I love how we're looking at their forum laughing at some of the funny things they're saying about us, and they're looking at our forum laughing about some of the silly things we're saying about them. :laugh3: Hello Green Day people! *waves* Congratulations on your win. :nice: Next week should be fun, eh? thanks, see were even infiltrating your forum, hah, suckers! :D
December 13, 200817 yr We'll never win against green day, we're nowhere near as good as them, they'e like the best band ever, compared to us, even the coldplay lead singer said that they suck compared to green day :rolleyes::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:
December 13, 200817 yr thanks, see were even infiltrating your forum, hah, suckers! :D NOOOOObody expects - Green Day inquistion!
December 13, 200817 yr NOOOOObody expects - Green Day inquistion! Hey look- the uniforms match their board. :sneaky::laugh3:
December 13, 200817 yr Wrong ! Most of us are in the Christmas mood, so we have the Snowmen layout going on :)
December 13, 200817 yr ^Yeah, well, I haven't signed up, so I can't see the other layouts. :p Though if you really hate ours so much, try the dark style... it looks pretty neat says I. :smug:
December 13, 200817 yr I don't care if we lose to Keane, or even Muse WE CANNOT LOSE TO F***ING GREEN DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
December 13, 200817 yr Wrong ! Most of us are in the Christmas mood, so we have the Snowmen layout going on :) Truth. Frosty is gangster. Good luck Coldplay fans :)
December 13, 200817 yr Ugh... on a slightly random note, I think voting against my beloved Muse messed with my psyche a bit... I've been listening to Muse constantly for the last 2 days now. :rolleyes5:
December 13, 200817 yr Yes I'm using the Dark layout Much better :) We seem to be taking over, and yet we've hardly seen and Coldplay fans on our side of the fence :P
