    Green Day Lashes Out At Wal-Mart Policy

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    Green Day has the most popular CD in the country, but you won't be able to find it at your local Wal-Mart.

     

     

     

    The band says the giant superstore chain refused to stock its latest CD, "21st Century Breakdown," because Wal-Mart wanted the album edited for language and content, and they refused.

     

     

     

    "Wal-Mart's become the biggest retail outlet in the country, but they won't carry our record because they wanted us to censor it," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said in a recent interview.

     

     

     

     

     

    While Wal-Mart sells CDs from acts known for raunchy content, including Eminem's latest, they offer customers the "clean" version of those CDs, which are edited for content that may be objectionable. But in Armstrong's view, "There's nothing dirty about our record."

     

     

     

    "They want artists to censor their records in order to be carried in there," he said. "We just said no. We've never done it before. You feel like you're in 1953 or something."

     

     

     

    "21st Century Breakdown" contains curses and some references considered adult.

     

     

     

    Wal-Mart said that it's the company's long-standing policy not to stock any CD with a parental advisory sticker.

     

     

     

    "As with all music, it is up to the artist or label to decide if they want to market different variations of an album to sell, including a version that would remove a PA rating," Wal-Mart spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien said. "The label and artist in this case have decided not to do so, so we unfortunately can not offer the CD."

     

     

     

    But guitarist Mike Dirnt said: "As the biggest record store in the America, they should probably have an obligation to sell people the correct art."

     

     

     

    Not being sold at Wal-Mart didn't stop the band which kicks off a U.S. tour summer tour in Seattle on July 3 from landing at the top of the album charts this week. "21st Century Breakdown" sold about 215,000 copies since it's debut on Friday.

     

     

     

    They will tour North America this summer. The dates are:

    22nd - Phoenix, AX

     

    24th - Sacramento, CA

     

    25th - Los Angeles, CA

     

     

     

    Whether you like Green Day or not, you have to give the band credit for not bowing down to Wal-Mart just because they refused to release a stickered copy of 21st Century Breakdown. Wal-Mart's hypocrisy lays with the fact that they release uncensored movies (Reservoir Dogs, Saw series, Kill Bill series, etc) and games (especially GTA), but they won't release an album with the advisory labels despite content. I fully agree with Green Day and any other artist that speaks against Wal-Mart.
