Why is DEAN doing this is so rediculous..>( American Idiot compared to Ameican Edit..whats up with that name its just s!@#$% !!! I think that american idiot should stay the same.. you guys better not cahnge it ,,,,or else people will get very MADDD!!!!
I found this album awesome- I’m one that goes for the mashups.
I also agree that this album would not effect Green Day or Warner Borhter at all, either.
vivian- they’re not talking about CHANGING American Idiot. This album is JUST a spinoff.
“American Edit” is purposely named that way BECAUSE it is spinoff. In other words, Green Day’s American Idiot songs were EDITed.
