Are you kidding me. Did Avril Lavigne ever use distortion in her songs? Or how about those wierd sound effect things? Mmhhm, that’s whqat I thought. Keeping that in mind, how could anyone in their right mind say that this Hendrix guy is good. You lozerz obviously now nothing about muzik. Some idiots are calling him the best guitar player ever….? HELLO??? That’s like saying MTV doesn’t play good muzik!!! If you want good guitar, try Avril Lavigne, or, the masters of Metal, Limp Bizkit.

As for Know Your Enemy, I think the whole point is that this song could apply to anyone's enemy. Billie Joe isn't trying to tell us who our enemy is. He's trying to tell us that it's important to stop and think about it and figure it out - to not allow ourselves to become complacent. The enemy could be the government, corporate America, the guy next door, or our own selves and the things we do to mess ourselves up. IMO, that's why the song is not written in a more specific way, but a lyric like "Don't be blinded by the lies in your eyes," is a sweet little hint that we shouldn't only be looking externally for enemies.
I think there's a lot of depth to this song, but it's easy to miss because it's subtle. One of the things I've always liked about Billie's lyrics is how thought-provoking they are for me. They give me ideas but leave me the freedom to explore what meanings I want to attach to those ideas. However, Green Day's music has always been easy to listen to just for fun, too. Thought-provoking but with a sense of fun - that's the kind of music I like best, and they haven't disappointed me yet.
