  • WTF with the description!?!?

  • the HOLIDAY solo is godly.

  • Dave Baksh of Sum 41 is better than Billie Joe Armstrong haha listen to their songs THE BITTER END, 88, SECOND CHANCE FOR MAX HEDROOM and HOOCH, those are very fast solos!!!

  • @underclassdamnriot a fast solo doesnt make it a good solo. anyone can play fast if they try, having it sound good is a different story.

  • @underclassdamnriot It's not about speed....

  • @MrGrupie but dave baksh has 3 bands. Sum 41, Brown Brigade and Organ Thieves, go search them, In fact that Sum 41 solos are too easy for him because Deryck Whibley wrote them for Dave to play. Dave is too metal influenced. He can play any fast song whenever he wants too!!! Yes his fast solos sounded amazing if you listen to them carefully. He's a SWEEPER, SHREDDER and TAPPER, what about Billie Joe? Oh and DAve can play sum 41 solo song MACHINE GUN behind his head which Billie imitated

  • @underclassdamnriot People have diffrent styles. I've never heard of Dave Baksh, hate me for it but I don't research topics I'm not interested in. Even if Dave is a better guitarist, Billie was, is and stays an amazing guitarplayer. Why would you even compare a punkrocker to a metalhead?

  • @MrGrupie yeah but it's in reptition and goes along when he sings so you're wrong

  • Great solos, but One for the Razorbacks definitely should've been on there

  • Not wasted!

  • His solos have gotten alot more simple, but they fit with the melody more. Either way billie is a great guitarist

  • @kdurgee thats because it fits the musical style better

  • i always say the old songs to 2005 are great but then the songs are just good if you think about the senn of it but the playing is just simple, the old songs are of the playing better (sorry my grammar im german :D)

  • jeez, gotta learn some of those pre-2000's songs \m/

  • The Judge's Daughter brings me back in the 1960's...and I was born in 1997 xD

  • @TMmodify hahaha me too!!! xD

  • aw

  • What the hell wheres 21 guns, or Boulevard Of Broken Dreams Solo????

  • more like 20 mins of my life

  • i love vry very good for video

    viva GREEN DAY¡¡¡¡

  • I didn't waste any minute of my life in this video,when I'm hearing GD I'm not wasting time

  • loving the picture at 1:54

  • The solos are not hardest but stil great !

  • wake me up when september ends to me is the easiest solo he wrote, my favourite is the judges daughter...

  • YOU RETARD!!!!

    BLVD OF BROKEN DREAMS ISN'T ON HERE!!!!

  • @Greenday13ism We can't call that a solo realy, and I love Green Day and BLVD of Broken Dreams

  • I mean they are also harder to learn :P

  • @Shenanigans07 hm... I guess your right because learning some of the solos from Dookie took me five minutes and learning the solo for American Idiot took me like two hours x) The songs on 21st century breakdown seem like more than just power chords so those are harder to learn.

  • muy bueno el video

  • Dry Ice, my favourite :D

  • the first solo was pretty sick for green day

  • He doesnt even have to be a great guitar player, he is an amazing singer....album quality vocals live every time....and his guitar skills are much better than most, the whole band is talented as fuck ppl hate just to hate.

  • If you are going to defend Billie against nay sayers, you should probably do it right, and put up the really good ones, and leave American Idiot off all together. Some of these aren't even solos, just hooks and riffs. There are many better examples you could have used.

  • I'm just a novice when it comes to the guitar but I know enough to see that he's really good!

  • @ArmstrongMissy138 You are just a novice and your opinion doesn't hold weight

  • @ArmstrongMissy138 Well, I'm not a novice. I know what I'm talking about.

    Most of his solos are very basic and easy to learn. Perfect for beginners. Especially his early ones from the 39/Smooth days, consisting of early Blues licks, very unoriginal and easy to compose. They sound cool, though, don't get me wrong. I'm just stating fact.

    However, people seem to overlook his newer solos. Which, are far more original and harder to compose.

  • @Shenanigans07 look man not to be a dick but i need to know, are you stupid, or just being a troll? his new solo's are almost nothing but chords following the songs chorus melody. His old ones use real lead blues influenced scale progressions. I have been playing guitar for 12 years, i disagree with that statement big time. It took me almost a year just to learn how to bend and slide, it took me literally only 2 days to learn how to strum chords and power chords in a melody.

  • @JDrockerDUDE I wasn't stating which are more difficult than the other. Not in the sense of someone learning one anyway. Billie Joe's solos past and present are all very simple. Anyone who listens to blues music from as early as the 30's to the late 70's will know that Billie is simply repeating what's been done, on those 39/Smooth solos.

    However, the construction of his newest solos are far more original. Even more simple sounding and easy to play, yes. But far more original.

  • @Shenanigans07 i would like to apologize for the brashness and arrogance of my comment, i really respect the intellect you put in your words with that. i also respect that you didn't just open up with immature swearing at me for that. I was trying to test how you would react and i got to say, good job man lol. I didn't entirely understand what you meant at first so sorry also. I do stick by my opinion tho.

  • I can't believe he is that good of a guitarist and doesn't solo like he did on 1039 smoothed out slappy hours anymore...

  • Green day is awesome people so go take your crappy opinions somewhere else

  • Wheres chump?

  • billie joe played his best on 1039/smoothed out slappy hours

  • Billie Joe is a great guitarist! It oains me that people think he's bad because he just doesn't play any where near his full extent most of the time, look at The Judges Daughter.

  • @liamteh3rd Dude judges daughter was 20 years ago. I'm a big green day fan , but Billie Joe isn't that good. He's evolved in to an awesome SONG WRITER AND A SINGER. Jason most of the solos now...

  • @MattiaImWaiting1990 I guess your right, I just don't like it when people say that Green Day music is crap.

  • @liamteh3rd Don't worry those guys are just trolls and fags anyway... :)

  • Jason does them when Billie is putting on a show for the crowd

  • the 1039/smoothed out slappy hours solos are a lot better than the american idiot solos! ;)

    thumbs up uf you agree! ;D

  • 0:41 beej looks so scared!

  • el mejor es el de JESUS OF SUBURIA O.52

  • His old solos seemed to just go all over the damn place (they still sounded good) and the newer ones though simpler, seem to flow better and follow the melodies of the songs better.

  • Jason only does some of the solos live, not all of them. I've seen Billie go at it at live shows himself. Sometimes he gets really into them and just keeps going for way too long lol.

  • Well Billie Joe is playing all guitars on records, so I don't think he gets help from Jason. At all. He doesn't need any. I think he can play whatever he wants - this is just what he prefers.

  • lol...Billie is better than ever....he make this solos 5 mins long! Watch his live performances of Paper Lanterns/2000LYA, American Idiot...he even do solos on Know your Enemy with guitar on his back ;)

  • 2:40 eat my finger

  • i dont see y the fuck ppl care if the song is complicated or simple i mean if ppl think he's a bad guitar player cuz some of his songs are more simple than others thats stupid to say ... all of his songs are amazing... billie is an amazing musician over all

  • I thought that at the picture of dry ice the finger is in the mouth of Billie Joe o.O

  • 3:44 AWESOME SOCKS!!!!! XD

  • lol 2:36 a fan was all like you have something in your teeth, billie," did you get it?" fan "nope still there."

  • billie Joe 6 grande!!!! ;)

  • The Judges Daughters solo is master :)

  • Comment removed

  • This made me want to listen to only Green Day out of all these mainstream 'punk' bands that seem to be associated with such a legendary band.

  • @Junkpunker21 Wich mainstream 'punk' bands do you mean??

  • @Leojk87

    Simple Plan, Fag Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Yellow Card, the All-American Rejects, and anything else related to shit.

  • @Junkpunker21 Ok, i agree...those bands are nowhere near to Green Day, blink, Offspring, nofx and the 90s pop punk..

  • love Billie at 00:47 !! ^_^ <3

  • I love the Paper lanterns face

  • lmao most of the songs are from 1039/smooth or american idiot

  • dry ice man, wot a tune and solo

  • dry ice man, wot a tune and solo

  • Love the blues influence on his playing :)

  • @LWhitebass thats all guitar solos are, blues stuff sped up, that and major or minor scales edited about

  • It's like the solos got easier over time. Seems weird. Usually bands do it the other way around lol

    Very talented man, though.

  • the best solos of green day are in the first album, BJ is a great guitar player I respect him a lot

  • lol at 1:58 '' I want to be alone '' the picture sure says that XD

  • I love 1039 smoothed out slappy hours solos...when Billie played guitar...

  • @billie5461 AGREE

  • 2:20

    "Booom, Headshot"

    - "No Problem, I have Novacaine" =D

  • mucha gente opina q los solos de guitarra de green day son mediocres xq usan las mismas notas q en toda la cancion...yo les digo fuck off

  • :o where did you get the picture for "Paper Lanterns"? I LOVE THAT PIC :D

  • great vid

  • nice one billie joe!

  • jason white deserves 2 be officially a band member, thumbs up if u agree!

  • @greendaynonfiction He doesn't want to be though. He was asked to be but he doesn't want the title.

  • during gigs jason white often plays solos :/

  • they have changed so much, like linkin park.

  • @iWreXx Maybe, but they are for ever the best band :)

  • actually jason white wasnt in green day until 1998. therefore, the solos in 1039 smoothed out slappy hours are entirely billies creations

  • I LOVE the one that's in Judge's Daughter and Dry Ice!!! <3

  • What about Best Thing in Town, 1000 Hours, The One I Want, Pulling Teeth, One for the Razorbacks, (insert any other song I might have missed)?

  • @guitarist2195 Coming Clean

  • The Judge's Daughter, Dry Ice, I Want To Be Alone, and Only Of You give me an were ruin during the solo. I know all those songs on guitar except for Only Of You. But it looks like that's my next learn!

  • en sus añso de juventud fue donde tuvo su inspiracion!

  • the judges daughter his master piece... no doubt

  • Jason White's good but cannot compare to Billie Joe. In addition.. all the albums recorded are ONLY recorded by 3 of them. Which means Billie Joe does the Rhythm and Lead Guitar parts.

  • Jason White plays the solos, not Billie Joe...

  • @TheFlashback98 Only live so Billie can walk around the stage and stuff

  • Green Day used to be a true punk band..

  • I'm literally the biggest Green Day fan in my town. I make people sick with how much I talk about them, sing there songs and play their music so don't take this as a slam. Billie is an amazing musician, however his guitar playing used to be suggest a lot more talent then it currently does. In fact, most of the 'solos' (or leads as they're called) that you hear in more modern Green Day songs (post Kerplunk) are not played by Billie, but by the new guy that you see in concert but not on the album.

  • billie's guitar solo is so beatiful and cool and jesus!!!!!

  • everything up to warning are bille joes solos the rest are jason white except sometimes when they play live

  • all the "good" solo's are back in slappy hours album, so jason fucked it up

  • some of these were probably jason white

  • @blackzabbathfan

    No you retarded FUCK. Billie did all these solos. Is it that hard to understand that Green Day is a three-piece band and always will be? Jason is a TOURING GUITARIST. Green Day's music and status has involved to something higher than small pubs so they need extra people to fill up their sound during shows - NOWADAYS. Back in the day when there weren't too many guitar parts and pianos in their songs, they did EVERYTHING by themselves and still do.

    So FUCK. OFF.

  • @Junkpunker21 bro chill i'm sorry i didn't know, you don't need to freak out or anything, i made a mistake, please just chill

  • @Junkpunker21 little bit wrong haha billie joe can do this all but if you have the albums american idiot and 21st century breakdown then you can see on the cover of the CD guitar: Jason and Billie

  • He isnt going for speed, he is going for nice sounding melodic solo's, and he gets that so what if he isnt Joe Satriani or Steve Vai

  • half of those "solos" aren't solos at all, and the other half is pretty lame except for holidy, now that's nice

  • traindude95, Jason's different because he plays almost every song with them.

    I KNOW Billie Joe isn't a bad guitar player. I just wish he'd play more solos live (like the American idiot solo on awesome as F***, which was amazing). Also, I know Milton Keys was an amazing concert, but you can still play lead and be a great showman. Where I live, we have a guitarist whos been voted the best guitarist in the east coast and he's won a national shredding competiion. He plays lead in a band and whene

  • Dry Ice is the best solo here IMO, eargasms every time.

  • not bad but I think tom delonge is a better guitarist...I prefer his old solos

  • he's not a bad guitar player, he just doesnt write very complicated songs

  • holiday is one addicting ass song

  • acrazylawergb, then why when I search green day it says: "Tre cool-drums, vocals

    Mike Dirnt- bass, backing vocals

    Billie Joe armstrong- Lead vocals, guitar

    Jason White SHOULD be an official member, then he won't be just what people call him:

    "Oh you mean that guy that has a guitar like the one Eric Clapton uses and just stands there akwardly?"

    He deserves more respect than that

  • @Matthewtheitalian jason's a part of the performing crew, if you band-him, then you gotta "band" jason freese and ronnie blake too

  • Jason wasn't around in the 1,039 days.

  • the judge's daughter why do you want him, I want to be alone, dry ice, wake me up when september ends, only of you, knowledge are from billie joe

  • welcome t o paradise!:)

  • SLAPPY HAD THE BEST SOLOS-the judge's daughter, paper lanterns, WHY DO YOU WANT HIM, i want to be alone, DRY ICE, ONLY OF YOU, knowledge, 409 in your coffee maker, i was there

  • Omg he's not a bad guitar player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jason plays LEAD guitar. Billie only plays Rhythm!!!! thats why he doesn't play as much in shows

  • Love Green Day<3

    Love Bilie Joe<3

    Love you for making this video<3

    Thumbs up if you AGREE!

  • 0:54 Ring of Fire x)

  • When the Wake Me Up When September Ends solo came i was just like "oh shit, goosebumps" :D, i love that song<3 :DDD

  • Billie still plays solos these days too, usually older ones but some newer ones too (like he plays one in live versions of minority and American idiot)

    Thumbs up if you think the American idiot solo on Awesome as Fuck is one of his best

  • @3ace13 he plays the oldies but goodies 

  • Billie doesn't even play the solos, he played the old ones like 1,039/Smooth and Kerplunk! but all solos now are played by Jason White.

  • Dude, Jason Whit more than helped him out, he actually PLAYS most of the solos.

    It dosent look good on a band where they're only official guitarist can't play the recorded solos live

  • @Matthewtheitalian You're dead wrong. The only reason that Billie Joe doesn't play the recorded solos is because he's too busy fuckin around with the audience and having fun. Also many of his solos are during singing parts, which makes them harder to play. Jason White is a full-fledged band member and is the lead guitarist of Foxboro Hot Tubs, a Green Day side project.

  • @Matthewtheitalian green days concert in milton keynes was voted one of the best shows ever and mainly because of how amazing billie joe can manipulate an audience, i doubt anyone can play solos whilst pulling off an amazing show like that

  • letterbomb???

  • wheres the best?

  • he's an awesome guitar player. really. i love him soo much. i would be so happy if i could play like he...

    love you billie!! xo from switzerlnd ^^

  • themalicherto, not Wake me up when September ends, and holiday. He does though, actually play most of them during concerts. Billie Joe is good at being a rythym guitarist and I think they should make Jason a full fledged band member

  • wake me up when september ends is best solo:)

  • @MrMakSiik Nah

  • Actually in GD concerts Jason's the one who play solo

  • @themalachijethro Yeah that almost kinda pissed me off when I first saw a new guy (Jason) on stage with green day, I used to think it was so amazing how much damn sound just the three of them put out, but what can you do, at least they still only have 3 offical members.

  • note the length of the video

  • awesome video, my only problem is it's only using two of Green Day's albums. but hey, this just goes to show that you can't put all of Green Day's brilliance into one video. good job

  • Just because you don't play them, it does't mean that you can't. Billie is an awesome guitarrist, he could come out with rifts that nobody would think off, and just the way he plays says everything.

  • @loridu95 billie does play them jason is just their live guitarist!

  • the almost part of the solos are do by jason white not billie joe

  • @loridu95 But Billie composes them.

  • @Confuzzledism oh yeah probably...=)

  • Dry Ice has to be one of my favorite Green Day guitar solos.

  • @Dragonicah

    C'mon man.. you kow the guitar in W2P is epic! :)

  • @Dragonicah

    I like your album... but you MUST have Welcome to Paradise on it! :D

  • hes old solos are amazing

  • american idiot has simple solos....and i think jason did all the american idiot solos

  • @Bagadaboats he duz live but billie records all the guitar

  • I don't think Green Day is much about tge guitar solos, but more Billie Joe's lyrics... they're pure awesomeness

  • @TeamFruit They still have awesome guitar solos

  • Anyone else disappointed hear the epicness of 39/smooth and then listening to shit lyrical based solos like JOS?

  • @OverdriveSounds not really, no

  • This shows pretty much undeniably that 1039SOSH > American Idiot. Dookie is still the best.

  • I can honestly say that Billie inspired me to play guitar.

  • @SaintJimmy9742

    me too :)

  • A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!!!!!

  • wasted 5 min of my life???

    u add me 5 min of life!!!!!!!!

    GREEN DAY 4 EVA!!!

  • 57, n'aiment pas ! :O

  • Le solo d'American Idiot, mais c'est de la booooooooooooooooooooombe !

    Pff, c'est juste excellent quoi .

  • @h0ckeyboy91 yes.

  • Am i think you dont think . Jason white is a very good guitarist billie joe is only a little much better . Cuze jason plays the most of the songs live like holiday or blvd of broken dreams . But if billie joe write the songs what should jason do i dont think that all solos are by billie joe !

  • Remember that Billie is within the top 50 guitarists of all time according to TOTAL GUITAR, which becomes the official ranking ... Jason is a very large shit reberenda next to Billie ...

  • @Billie0Souseh yes, jason white plays them, but bj writes them....

  • @Drummusichockey0 he writes them and plays em in the studio

  • i never realised that billie had that bluesy feel

  • This isnt 100% true all solos in the american idiot album are played by jason white not billlie joe only the old !

    And wich programm do you used for this movie ? :))

  • @Billie0Souseh bj wrote all the solos and plays them in the studio. on stage he takes more of a lead and lets jason play ythem

  • the fisrts the best replay button 0:00
