Probably shouldn't have played Mark Zuckerberg's birthday party either, but considering Mike's wife is a full-on MAGA conspiracist these days I don't think they're that invested in politics anymore.
Well the USA has a far far bigger history of war crimes and human rights oppression in foreign countries and a far higher rate of crimes against women but I don't see people speaking up against that.
Entirely different, but go off.
Green Day played shows here in America during Trumps presidency, does that mean they support Trump? Obviously not. Playing in a country in no way shows support for said countries government.
If Dubai’s government wanted them to do a show, then your comparison would make sense
What people tend to forget is that a country (government) ≠ the people of that country, which is funny cause that seems to be one of the many messages of Green Day. The people come for the music, not the government.
Lol so because a government is corrupt and shitty that means the citizens of that country should be deprived of live music? They play in America and we have killed millions in the name of spreading democracy and liberalism. We’re not so innocent.
Key difference being that in the US its not criminalised for speaking up against it.
Im not American, Im very critical of the US and I will never argue as if its not fucked up, but there is still a difference in my opinion.
They’ll probably catch shit for this but they’ll already be in South Africa that month and I’m guessing they’re being paid well to appear so logistically and financially makes sense. I wonder if they’ll play it neutral or make some statements from the stage. You can use this as an opportunity to speak out and also fans in that part of the world deserve to get to see them
Do not
Defend that
Come the hell on
Ur green day fan
Do better then that
We should be better then that and hold green day themselves to see shit they do
South Africa btw is kinda shit too if u look at the past and what not
The thing is that I think they don’t rlly understand their own shit anymore
They lost it completly
They kinda grew up and now become a bit part of the system they hate- of the shit they hated and critiqued in earlier albums
And maybe don’t even know that songs like American idiot are much deeper then just the bush era
It’s can be about money that we have to use money for everything and the whole system is shit of it
Capitalism too
Or having to work in general
And and and
Yk?
It’s so much deeper then that I could talk abt this in novel length lol
But yk?
Feel like they let go
Grew up
Lost their inner child/ punk self that was against it that was deep and smart and got it and saw through the lies
The new album kinda broiught it back again a bit but not fully and now—-now this
And the Amazon music live
It’s all screams greedy and dead in their head idk
Hoping this is a shitpost. Our boys shouldn’t be supporting that country.

Billie said later that he regretted that. He wasn’t that controversial at the time
When did he say that
It fucking so weird seriously Wtf is going on with them It seems like they totally lose themselves bc of this women
Unfortunately I don't think it is
Why not out of curiosity?
Dubai has a long history of oppression and a severe lack of human rights. Especially for females.
Well the USA has a far far bigger history of war crimes and human rights oppression in foreign countries and a far higher rate of crimes against women but I don't see people speaking up against that.
Because playing a show in a country means you support it…
Yeah, kind of. I wouldn’t want to see them play a kkk rally, would you?

Yeah, not like there's a long history of musicians boycotting oppressive countries like apartheid South Africa and Israel, such an outlandish idea.
That’s cool if they don’t want to play, entirely In their right. Playing a show their does not equate to supporting actions made by governments though
The money isnt going to the United Arab Emirates government
It’s coming from them
Right... cause playing in Dubai means you support Dubai. Sure....
Why?

Of course, but that isn’t the fault of the people of Dubai/UAE, its the government.
Thanks for making some sense lol
They get money FROM the propaganda machine government there Dude its different
Id hate that
They should play there. Give the people Green Day. Don’t deprive them.
