Weenie-ass Green Day Guitar Lesson…& the real thing: THE REPLACEMENTS!
Are you into the whiney psuedo-punk that is, or was Green Day? You may want to check out this guitar lesson for “Time of Your Life.” He disabled the comments…I guess he got tired of people telling him he is a weenie. So if you are into the weenie-rock that is/was that way over-rated band, check out this lesson.
I don’t mean to be too harsh, but I’m a child of the eighties. I dont mean the hairband synth-pop lame-ass shitty music eighties. I mean the real eighties which no one gave any attention to in the eighties.There really was a great amount of kick ass rock and roll going on then, but you couldn’t hear it on the radio.
Here is an example of one of my favorite bands…great songs, great guitars, just great. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to THE REPLACEMENTS!

What a hell of a function
OK so the video quality is not so good. But listen through that, dammit! I mean that was 1987! There were no hand held digital camcorders.
Maybe this will help you understand:
Maybe you had to be there. I was. I saw those guys in ’85 in a small bar called Peabody’s Downunder in Cleveland Ohio. It was loud as hell and they were fucking brilliant.
What’s my point? Here’s my point: Green Day, Nirvana etc..OK, look at their influences. There are a lot of bands that are pretty much forgotten that paved the way for the big fucking famous motherfuckers. Check this out:
Seriously, would there have been a Green Day if the Descendants had never existed?
How about this:
I went to see the Zero Boys when I was 18 in Cincinnati in 1982. I have to say that night changed my life. Opening was an awesome band from Anderson Indiana called The Repellents.
OK, once again maybe you had to be there. Well, I was there and it meant something.
In the early 90′s when punk hit big it was kind of sick. It was like all the weenie-assed motherfuckers got into your lunch. It was like having your diary copied and spread across MTV. It was like throwing up in the cafeteria at lunch, and 10 minutes later everyone else puking too, just to be cool. I mean it sucked.
I do like Nirvana though.
But doesn’t all go back to this:
Or this:
Yeah…that’s what I’m talking about!
And let’s not leave the girls out:
I do like girls, and bad-ass girls with guitars, well I’m speechless.
Everyone is standing on someones shoulders. If you wanna rock you gotta know where it came from.
Now, what the fuck are you going to do with your guitar?
