Wooh hoo!! Well done idiots!! We won 4 categories!! I'm proud of us because Green Day really deserves it. They are the best! ♥

Ps: But you should really stop fighting, it's not such a big deal and it's making us look bad. I don't think Billie, Tre or Mike would like that =/ . Tolerance after all GD lovers!

Gloria, how dare you accuse people you don't even know of having miserable lives in the first place just because YOU are confused as to why we are happy? I mean, that was a completely random way to end your comment. I was being sarcastic when I said "then we are", because you are being a complete b*tch. I find it unusual that you are so hung up on the fact that we are celebratig our win.

Okay, that was kinda mean. Sorry to all fourteen year olds out there, don't take it personal. I just don't like to be called kiddo, damn:(

Posted By Aki

09.02.10 1:41 PM

And please don't call me 'kiddo', I'm not a fourteen year old or something(:

Posted By Aki

09.02.10 1:37 PM

@Gloria, you know what? I can totally see what you're talking about. Some TH fans are outright rude. But please don't judge the BAND because of this! I'm sorry, I wish someone would teach them how to really be supportive, cause bashing other bands sure as hell isn't. I'm acually pretty ashamed because of some of them. But you aren't saints yourselves either. Saying that TH sucks in stead of just 'go Greenday' or something makes you the same, doesn't it? I think Greenday is a great band, but I just can't help too love TH more. My friend is a Greenday fan, she's sitting next too me right now actually. She thinks TH has some good songs, eventhough she isn't a fan. And btw, she just said that she was embarrased by the way some of you guys were treating TH, and that she thought you were above that. And I didn't claim that your life's miserable, I'm sorry if I made it sound like that. And no, I do not wish to have your life, mine is perfect the way it is(:

I just don't get it... They're both great bands, why do we have to fight about this? Can't we just be happy that we both won something?

@Aki
i have no problem of you winning this category.. the fact that makes me mad (if you'd look at previous comments, you'd knew) is that th fans were bashing Green Day AND their families (=our families) till the last moment of voting, and now, they pretend that their "happy" for their one win, and for Green Day's won at 4 categories.. if you don't know, don't open your mouth and say my life's miserable.. yeah, you WISH you had my life, kiddo. now, kiss my ass !!

Posted By Aki

09.02.10 12:58 PM

@Gloria, do you have a problem with the fact that us TH fans are happy because we won one category? I don't get you, why are you so upset? I mean, congratulations on winning four categories and everything. But seriously, what's the big deal about not getting one of them? Stop acting so pissy, I hope you know that there are most certanly people out there laughing at your comment right now. And 'go back to your miserable lives'? What the hell, why should our lives be miserable? My life's awesome, does that mean I shouldn't like TH or something? Your life sounds waaaaay more miserable than mine if you go freak out over every little thing that's bothering you. I feel kinda sorry for you hon.

AND GO TH<3 Knew they'd win that category, if you ask me they really are the best band ever. Congratulations all TH fans!

@ EMee-THFan
"you are actually more miserable and comfused then we are."
look, ALL i'm writting are REAL FACTS, NOT imaginations of little girls!!!! and you said that, i didn't: "more than we are" you admit that you're miserable.. btw, i'm not miserable at all.. you are obviously... i'm the joy of life according the people who know me, so i think you should focus to celebrate your "win" and let the real winners do their jobs...

09.02.10 12:11 PM

Gloria, whatever you say won't make us feel any different. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved. We are not going to sit around and act pissy, because we have no reason to be. What kind of person tries to put people down after they've accomplished to be on top? As I can see from your comment, you are actually more miserable and comfused then we are.

i don't know if you noticed that, tokyomotel fans, but you only won a ONE (1) category and you make it a big deal !!!!! what should we (Green Day fans)say for winning FOUR (4) categories ?? well, in this case we should go like that: GREEN DAY WON 4 CATEGORIES !!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!! 4 IN 10 CATEGORIES !!!! THAT MEANS WE HAVE THE MAJORITY OF VOTES !!!! WE SHOULD BE REALLY PROUD OF US VOTING SO MANY TIMES FOR OUR FAVORITE BAND !!! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THOSE SUCKERS WON JUST ONE CATEGORY..BECASUE THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE THE BEST BAND.. BEST BAND IS THE BAND WITH THE BEST SONG, BEST ALBUM, BEST LIVE ACT AND OF COURSE WITH THE HOTTEST SEX GOD AS A SINGER.!!!!!!!!! IF YOU WANNA KNOW, GREEN DAY HAS BEEN VOTED 105.272 TIMES. CONGRATULATIONS TO US GREEN DAY FANS !!! NOW, TH FANS GET OVER YOUR MISERABLE LIFES.

Well, even though they didn't deserve it(in my opinion), it's alright that TH won Best Band, because Green Day won everywhere else. :)
