"Green Day: ‚'If you want to experience British culture, go to see Millwall play'"

[wils]

"Green Day singing the praises of Millwall. If I am honest I am a bit crestfallen that West Ham weren't at least mentioned in this context. ""Billie Joe Armstrong, vocals and guitar: I went to a lot of football games: Arsenal, Leyton Orient, Fulham. I went to The Den to see Millwall. That was amazing. Man, if you really want to experience British culture that’s what you should do. Football is like a fucking religion. It’s like being at a big rock concert. You practically need earplugs! I’ve always wanted to check out all the different divisions, not just the world-class teams like Arsenal and Man City. I wanted to go to some of the lower-league games – especially Millwall, which has that gritty, pissed off, underdog, “no one likes us and we don’t care” vibe. It reminds me of being an Oakland Raiders fan."" https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/dec/27/green-day-uk-tour-album-saviors"

"Blimey, small world. Separate Hearts from the Brave Noise album is an absolute cracker."

WHU(Exeter) 2:05 Thu Dec 28 I know Kenny !! - I think I prefer mission from Burma or Archers of Loaf however Nothing to to do with the op

Just reminded me about the Millwall Panorama documentary. Classic TV.

"Green Day ? Poofy, popy, generic yank so called punk band. When West Ham have the Mighty maiden."

"Little club that has never achieved anything Dinky 20,000 seat stadium which they havent filled all season Probably a good match for Mummy's boys 'punks' like Green Day"

[Bungo]

"To be fair, if he had been to a typical game at the London Stadium, he would not be likely to be raving about the incredible atmosphere etc...?ü§?‚Äç‚ôÇÔ?è"

"Badger, yep, it was a lazy comparison by me, just touching on US post punk bands in genearl, and you're right, Husker Du and GD weren't exactly aiming for a similar end product. My favourite 'pop' type post punk band from the US were Moving Targets, early 80s. They were labelled hardcore but I never knew why, the album 'Brave Noise' is a lot more melodic and at times 'poppy' than most hardcore stuff."

Let's hear it for the strike breakers! Rah! Rah! Rah! We're going to smash the oiks!

[Side of Ham]

"WHU(Exeter) 4:48 Wed Dec 27 I mean yeh, but GD were like 10 years after HD split now if you'd said Sugar . . . but you can't be saying Bob Mould plays pop punk shirley?"

[Far Cough]

"Yes they won Super Bowl XI beating my team the Minnesota Vikings 32-14, you may have heard of their coach, John Madden. I think the Millwall connection was because their fans could be a ""bit rowdy""?"

[Side of Ham]

Ignore anything said by Green Day….they think they are a punk rock band…..

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Much preferred Husker Du. I don’t get the Oakland Raiders comparison tbh. Don’t watch American football, but didn’t they win the Super Bowl? Hardly a like for like?"
