I hate the fags that say I'm a true punk and shit and I have a big ass Mohawk and spikes in my hair and all those combat boots and shit you say your anarchy and shit and all that shit but you say your expressing your individuality but you all look the same so your wearing a fucking uniform your the real fucking posers

If you compose music that you know people will pay money to listen to, what is the shame in making a career out of it? That's like saying: "every painter who has ever sold a piece of their art at an art show is a sell-out; I liked their paintings better before they sold them for money and got lots of people to buy them." What? Like it or not, Green Day is successful. Pop punk, punk, or "garbage", they're successful, and that success is not measured by where they ended up, its measured by what it took to get them where they are. Hard work pays off. I wish OP Ivy would've stuck around, they could've done mad things.

time for some education for all you morons. Operation ivy broke up in 1989 on the same day that Green Day Performed their first show under the name "Greenday". Tim Armstrong had asked BillieJoe to join Rancid, and he declined. Blah blah blah blah Green Day was around before Rancid blah blah blah and was influenced by operation Ivy as were most 90's punk bands. Mainly in the ska genre. Punk although a genre of music, is not a genre. It is a lifestyle, If listening to a certain genre made you a punk, then what the fuck is wrong with you?, because you missed the entire point of what the music was about, and you don't know nothing about punk. Green Day, in my honest opinion is garbage, up until and including American Idiot was good, but then they turned into bitches. Even though I do not like them, their songs are still punk. maybe add some testosterone into the music, idk. Green Day is punk, if you know what punk actually is, just because they aren't good doesn't mean they aren't punk.

And Tim Armstrong from Op Ivy owns Hellcat so he owns the rights...which is good a band can own their own rights.

I lol'ed, but technology in '88 sucked balls. More than likely recorded directly to a VHS tape. Factor in some time on the shelf for 20 years and/or wear and tear from being played in a VHS, loss through conversion, and oh yeah being recorded in an analog format, yeah, it's gonna look like it was recorded using an 1875 cotton gin. Oh, and the default resolution on VHS was 333x480 Not saying it to be a jerk, but even I forget how much I take technology for granted until I see videos like this

Archie Moss

Don't bother scrolling down, it's just people arguing over whats "punk" or not.

HallPassFilms

LongLiveWho

Did you film this with a 1875 cotton gin?

Chad Merritt

Blink 182 are not Bay Area. You can have em if you want em but They're actually I.E. crap.

Dario Gomez

just grow up

Adam Colquitt

Blink and Greenday are Westbay punk pop.. It was a new type of punk formed late 80's early 90's. it just happened to be more appealing to mainstream culture. People writing music they like and getting successful off of it isn't selling out. Or does it have to be "Crap my music is getting popular, lets write a few really bad albums that we hate so we won't be popular and still be cool and not sellouts"? Thats what people expect the band to do... New genre doesn't = sellout.

Chiara Sabbatini

It's Gilman?

sorry MTV couldn't make it to document this historic event so they settled for a drunk punk rocker and a vhs camcorder
