Customer Reviews:

original and reflective
These days when most bands aren’t saying much, Green Day manages to convey an entire message in a song. After 20 years of singing Billy Joe still sounds exceptional on his newest track “21 Guns.” The song is a departure of sorts for the group that has made fast-moving alternative tracks a mainstay. Instead it’s a somewhat tragic and somber tune. But it still includes their signature beat and Billy Joe’s voice always comes through loud and clear. I enjoy it very much and feel that it’s one of Green Day’s most original and reflective singles to date.

2 Thumbs Up for 21 Guns!
“21 Guns” is the anthemic recent single of the punk rock/pop group Green Day. As a protest song, it’s catchy and verges on folk rock. It has an acoustic quality (yet somehow made it into the bombastic Transformers movie) The lyrics are,for a pop song,quite good. “21 Guns” has real firepower to it. Though this song is about peace, it packs lead. To quote singer Michael Franti, power to the peaceful.

Rather plain to me…
Not sure the hype on this one, I’ve always felt it was pretty plain and boring. Not sure why one would get so excited on this one, its not ground breaking in the tune or anything…just another Green Day song.
