Someone Changed the Picture of The Band

It's disgusting to be looking up something, and then a horrible picture of THAT comes up. Why on earth would someone be so vulgar? Please change the picture of a woman's vagina back to the original photo, and thank you very much to whoever does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.148.82 (talk • contribs) 17 February 2010

Uhmm...pretty big typo

In the first paragraph, it says "reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively" Must double platinum be repeated twice?

Shouldn't it? How do I know whether the middle of the three albums is double platinum or gold?

Green Day on Hiatus?

greenday.com's news section contains a picture of a 'Rolling Stone' article which states that Green Day has been on hiatus since March (2014) - this needs to be added to the page (I can't do it as it's semi-protected). Here's the link if you want to cite it: http://www.greenday.com/news/rolling-stone-magazine-random-notes-november-20th-7137536

Green Day a punk band?

Since they were record company made and signed to a major label, this would the antithesis of definition of punk bands (wiki even has that notion) which are self-made and usually political. They are an ALTERNATIVE/ POP ROCK BAND. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenfrees (talk • contribs) 18:10, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Being signed to a major label doesn't necessarily mean they aren't punk rock. Due to genres often being a subject of debate, we go by what reliable sources say about them, and they are most commonly cited as punk rock, pop punk and alternative rock, hence why those are the genres in the infobox.

It's worse than that. They were never punk rock in the first place. To be 100% crystal clear, there was no punk rock after 1977. After that point, it was all post-punk or...worse. The mockney accent is a dead give-away.Arlesd (talk) 04:44, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Dead Source 107

I was looking for history of the band and it just so happens that source 107 from Softpedia returns an error of ERROR: 410 Gone; Sorry, the page you're looking for has been removed permanently.

Someone may want to get on that. 204.116.196.234 (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
