Yes, Billy Joe Armstrong, lead guitarist and singer of Green Day is a really good guitarist who can solo.

Just listen to this solo

That's just one of the many great solos he's done. I know there are even greater guitarists then him, but I'm just trying to get rid of the generalization that "all Billy Joe Armstrong does are power chords and crap".

Also, just listen to Mike Dirnt. One of the most unique bassists ever. Just listen to "Welcome To Paradise", "No One Knows", "Longview" (which is considered one of the greatest bass lines ever) and a bunch more

Tre Cool is also a very talented drummer. Listen to Burnout, Panic Song, etc.

I believe that's the deceased astronaut you're talking about.

Billy Joe isn't that good of a guitarist. Doesn't mean Green Day isn't a great band though. A single individual doesn't make a good band, the final sound does.

I'm more of a Mike Dirnt fan myself. Dat bass.

I agree with you except for that part that "Billy Joe isn't that good"

Did you not listen to that solo?

The only reason people get pissy when it comes to green day is because they didn't make dookie version 56. They listened to it growing up and believe they own part of the band because they bought a CD.


Those types of people should be shoot.

I can appreciate their music up to American Idiot. After that... it just turned to -blam!-.

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

They used to be good before they got too political.

It is very dark, and you are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

The last time I listened to them on purpose it was the mid 90's...

They weren't very good then. They have not improved.

Yay yuh!!!!!

Sounds like a common rock solo. Have you ever heard an actual crazy good solo?
