Lol, i dunno what this rant is about, but i have never heard of "The Network." But, it doesn't really matter! It worked out for the best in the end IMO.TomiT14 wrote:Of course Billie Joe is the singer.

The release date is also interesting. C & V would've been released in 2003, Money Money 2020 was released in 2003. Warning wasn't "Green Day style" neither.
He said it in 2006 or 2008. If he'd said it before the master recordings were "stolen", I'd believe it. Most likely he just said it because he want the Green Day fans to think that Money Money 2020 =/= Cigarettes & Valentines, and Green Day =/= The Network.
But can you seriously say that Green Day would've released that über space stuff under the name of Green Day - Cigarettes & Valentines?
Warning may not be the same style as their first albums, but it's really similar to Nimrod, and much closer to GD style than Money Money, which is totally in its own style, that's why they released it under a different band name, 'cause it didn't fit in with Green Day style.
I'm not saying Money Money wouldn't have had some influences from the scrapped C&V album. But to say that C&V = Money Money is way over the top IMO.
