  • When did he tap?

  • .......WTF man?

  • *taps for a second or two* Ta daa! *taps again* Tadaa! he's so cute

  • I didn't, I was defending Jimi

    (and godammit playing with your teeth is hard

  • this fool is a joke. he is 40 something playing to teenagers. what a loser.

  • @aqueenowlbee And you are also a joke. Sitting your ass on a chair or couch searching videos just post hater comments about them.

  • @aqueenowlbee He is 39.

  • @aqueenowlbe go fuck justin bieber you asshole

  • @CastilloSasuke if you like greenday bieber is probaly more your style.

  • @aqueenowlbee how the fuck can you say that green day is punk/rock and justin bieber is pop/gay they dont fucking match

  • @aqueenowlbee you are a loser seeing something that you hate! go to watch Bieber videos :P

  • @aqueenowlbee not all Green Day fans are teenagers. Their music is just relevant. Music isn't about age man. Go read a book or something.

  • @ryrn182 yeah that's a bad thing. adults are not adults if they listen to green day. relevant? sasemee st. is relevant why dont you go watch that? music is not about age. your right. it is about taste. if you have immature taste. whats that say about you. i would rather read a mathbook than listen to greenday. peace loser.

  • @aqueenowlbee Green Day has been around so long that people who were fans of them as teenagers, still remain fans. Sorry you're bitter just because some used to be punk band got lucky and has the ability to write some catchy little pop songs. Let them have what they deserve.

  • @ryrn182 i loved gei joes. i quit playing with them. you grow up. if you you become a democrat.

  • @aqueenowlbee "if you you become a democrat". You got it. Politics are fucking stupid regardless...

  • @aqueenowlbee democrats are fucking stupid.

  • @IfuckinLuvBillieJoe - it's probably more psychological than anything, he doesn't see himself being as good as he is. i dunno why he'd be like that, he's famous. he could shit onstage and everyone would like it. (but that's a bad thing) I'm like that. i'm better than i give myself credit, because i compare myself to other guitarists who've played longer than i have (year and a halfish) and have had lessons. but to someone who doesn't play guitar, i'm pretty good. (not amazing, just good.)

  • Theoretically, the reason I wrote that comment was not to debunk Billie Joe. I think he's awesome.

    The reason I wrote it was people were saying how this shows how good he is and the he's better than Jimi Hendrix. I thought they were saying that about tapping so I wrote that comment.

    Playing with your teeth is much better I think

  • @Matthewtheitalian

    You can't compare Billie Joe with Jimi.

    Jimi is one of the best guitarists in the world, in terms of creativity, tecnique, improvisation.

    Try to learn a solo of Jimi, after you will understand.

  • @TheAlphafly playing with your teeth is stupid when you've got fingers ...jimi is stupid.lol

  • Tapping is a basic guitar trick.

  • Billie Joe'd hope he was at least half awsome as a shit of Jimi Hedrix...

  • For experienced guitar players you will be glad to hear me say this: everyone who is not pay attention:

    Yes tapping is cool and gives an awesome sound, but it's actually not hard to do. It just looks tough.

    He DID tap behind his back though so I give him credit, throwing some Stevie ray Vaughn and Eddie van halen into this, but Jimi Hendrix is by FAR better than Billy Joe whoever wrote that comment.

    He's better than me, much better, but he's not the best, not in the top 100, 200? Yes he's like

  • @Matthewtheitalian Sure, but that's what it's all about. Playing something pretty easy to make it sound cool. I wouldn't try to write something more advanced than need be.

    Also, noone said he was the best guitarist in the world, or one of the best. I know he's good, but not amazing. Besides, if you want to hear his abilities, you have to listen to the albums, not the live version. White plays lead on stage, while Armstrong plays rythm, naturally because he's the singer and the showman.

  • BILLIE JOE VAN HENDRIX LOL

  • Billie Joe Van Hendrix

  • That is sooo cool

  • AWESOME AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ooooh! Billdrix!

  • his like lee from bring me the horizon hahaha :D

  • The guy can actually solo pretty decent. He experimented with hair metal back before Green Day got big, and he was jazz trained. People tend to assume that because what he plays in his band tends lean on the simple side that he can't play. *waits for some BC Rich playing gain whore to have a problem with that statement*

  • There called hammer on's ;D

  • @Whiteniggerism actually, it's called tapping, you can call it hammer ons i guess but that wouldn't be the correct term. hammer ons are when you just slide your fingers without plucking the string. tapping is when you use all your finger even your plucking hand ;)

  • @Whiteniggerism actually, it's called tapping, you can call it hammer ons i guess but that wouldn't be the correct term. hammer ons are when you just slide your fingers without plucking the string. tapping is when you use all your fingers even your plucking hand ;)

  • Fuck, now we are all waiting for the «Billie Joe Sweeping» video!

  • 0:37, 0:47 he's like "awesome yes? :D" xD

  • dude is that his strat blue or just a red strat?

  • He's the best. He's GOD! I don't believe in god...but I BELIEVE IN BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG! XD

  • Billie Joe holds back on a lot of his guitar playing, he said countless times he sucks and he can't play and I was like o.O wtf Billie you can play!

    I think it's the "Punk thing to do" trying to look cool by saying you're bad.

    I've seen him live, and watched countless solo stuff he did in the early 90's and he is very good! He writes all his music.

  • 0:34 .. just like " yeeaah look at me " wiee :D

  • Jimi Hendrix can also play behind the head and with the teeth but he can not do solos such as Billie Joe Armstrong.. :D

    billie is the best guitar player!!!..

  • @GreenDayboy362 ummm jimi blows billie away lmao but billie is a great performer

  • @GreenDayboy362

    Jimi Hendrix can in fact play far superior solo's to Billie's,

    Jimi is easily a better guitarist, that's not to say i prefer him though, Billie's awesome.

  • @GreenDayboy362 i like green day, but Billie Joe is definitely not the best guitar player. Not even close actually. He is a good song writer though.

  • TA DAH!!!!!!!!!! sooo cute XD

  • hes so fucking cute!!!

  • @reverenfender- because it's not his normal style of guitar playing. Every guitarist has a unique style and Billie joe's style highlights his rythms and uses simplistic, soulful solos.

  • being a boss and playing with his teeth hah

  • Hes freakin incredible at guitar :)

  • hes not playing with his teeth he is sceaming into the pick ups

  • @RyzoBhoy00 pick ups don't pick up voice, only the magnetic energy from the vibrating strings

  • if hes so good at tapping then y duznt he incorporate it in2 his songs?

  • @reverenfender Because He Just Doesnt Want To, He Thinks He's Okay Without It.

  • @reverenfender 'Cause power chords sounds better to Green Day's music! If Green Day starts to brief on their instruments, they've totaly lost their style! (btw, I know I think "totaly" wrong, but I don't give a damn...)

  • @MrGibsonJunior well i like theyre music as it is i just think he should spice it up with tapping 4 maybe 2 or 3 songs

  • Amazing. :)

  • lol.

    Hes like "Tah-Dah I told you im God " haha

  • haha hes like "Tah-dah!"

  • lol with his teeth! Hahha this video made me laugh. (: Thanks for the upload

  • Sellout

  • @gregchips2390 Just because you think Green Day are sellouts doesnt mean they are. They are a fucking incredible band! Good for you, you had the courage to call one of the biggest bands in the world a sell out on a video anonymously. How does that feel? Good. SO grow up and go watch music you actually like. So we can enjoy their music without any annoying people like you.

  • @GreenDayJ17A13  I just wrote that to get a rise out of one of you morons. Mission: Accomplished.

    P.S. Sellout

  • @gregchips2390 Now, that's exactly what i call smart. Dickhead

  • @freakingreenday03000 Thank you, thank you.

  • @gregchips2390 No, you didnt get a rise out of me. I was just sharing my opinion.

  • @GreenDayJ17A13 Stop crying you lost get over it.

  • @gregchips2390 gladly (:

  • @gregchips2390 haha, get a life

  • @KingsRok93 That's what should be said to the little girl crying about one word.

  • @gregchips2390 again, haha, get a life

  • @KingsRok93 Why do you keep replying to me if you have a life?

  • @gregchips2390 I think I can spare 2 seconds of my day to reply to an affable comment on Youtube. You're not the only smart ass in the world, so get off it and get a life.

  • @KingsRok93 The irony of you telling me to get a life is affable. lol

  • @gregchips2390 Okay bud.

  • @KingsRok93 I know your "bud," guy.

  • @TheParadoxDrummer Yes, I do. I know he's not Val Halen.. but to say they're easy is silly. They're not all that creative but there's mixed rhythms within the solos and to get each note so clear and crisp is not an easy thing. It's probably easy for someone who's either well versed in blues, or is some metal shredder but happens to just love Green Day, too. I'm 30 and have been playing guitar for 17 years and even I can admit that. I'm sorry for calling you retarded. That wasn't very nice of me

  • He looks so short... like a kid ahah!

    He makes me laugh...

  • ahahahah with teeth!!! lol

  • billie joe so cute and talented! lol i love him =]

  • what song is this

  • knowledge

  • Oh damn, he's so talentic!

  • ...I actually thought this was going to sound crap.

    But it's actually pretty damn good.

  • youd be surprised. just because their music doesnt include anything too hard on guitar doesnt mean he cant play alright:)

  • billie joe is like the best guitar plyr in the world!!!! also the sexiest sex gawd in the universe(maby more)

  • well tbh, im a green day fan, but he really isnt the best player in the world, hes written some awesome songs/riffs but compared to slash, van halen etc hes pretty crap.

  • Yeah, i know. Green day should come up with some hard solos in there songs sometime. Everything they make is waaaaayyy to easy to play.

  • You're retarded. Listen to the solo's from the first couple albums. They're not insanely hard or anything but they're pretty hard for the average guitar player. You've gotta be kidding me.

  • @cstefos Yes. I have heard them. I have their albums. But its not that creative. You act like it's Eddy Van Halen or something....Do you play guitar?

  • @TheParadoxDrummer it's not about how easy or hard it is to play it's about how it sounds...

    XD

  • Please don't ever compare Jimi Hendrix and this guy ever again. For the love of MUSIC

  • @Rewwinnd why billie did a good job

  • you don't know billies guitarstyle do you? he plays easy songs for green day and he does stupid thing with his guitar live but he's better then most people know he's not the best offcourse but he is talented for sure

  • but jimmy didnt know how to play guitar

    but billie does

    yea

  • No, Billie doesn't too. He learnt by himself like Jimi. JIMI, not "Jimmy".

  • billie joe was accuallt taught by someone just a few chords and stuff though. i forgot who but i saw him say it in an old interview

  • @Rewwinnd

    yea cuz billie is better den hendrix...

  • @Rewwinnd y... all i can say is that billie joe is wayyy better than jimmi hendrix!!!

  • technically jimmy would be way better...

    but i hate hendrixes music and FUCKING LOVE GREENDAY.

    hendrix was nothing special

  • the three guitarists ive seen play with there teeth...

    jimi hendrix, steve vai,..and billiejoe armstrong. haha

  • This looks like the SECC in Glasgow, is it? If so.... was there :P

  • Woot

  • hahahaha hes like TAH-DAH!

  • he looks like he's makin out with that guitar xD

  • It's goooooood. :P

  • aahh! i wish i could be the guitar!!!<3

  • Ure a fcin teenie bopper queer.

  • hey, it's very cool :D Green Day rocks!!!

  • Check out my (green day solo covers) in High sound quality :)

  • wow

  • fuckin awsome!! hes god xD

  • Theres no point in trying to say have a conversation about how good of a guitarists he is, sure he's not the BEST, but he can write riffs and he used to be quite the shredder, he really is one of the best guitarists though, theres just no point in trying to prove it because so many people bash Green Day

  • I wish i was the guitar xD

    ...Well anyways, he is waaaay better than me so im just gonna go walk away now..

  • lol

  • He is amazing and the greatest guitarist ever.♥xx

  • @stefbuttys i smell jealousy

  • i recognize the song It's Knowledge correct

  • yep, you can hear it on the bass ;-)

  • the best solo is in the judges daughter or why do you want him he was a total shredder in the early 90s

  • I totally Agree with you man

  • Damn. He's God.

  • where was this?

  • ok..wtf does (L)..mean..

  • who cares how good he is? i just dig his music

  • aww how cute xxxxxxxxxxx

  • hahaha! Hes all like Tah-Dah!

  • lol show off!

  • i love billie joe!

  • Another reason I adore this man. He's a very talented guitarist but knows that just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you *should*. And why yes, I *do* hate goddamn guitar solos. They make me want to kill babies.

  • i already do

  • @girlwhofelltoearth God dammit you're stupid.

  • GUITAR SOLOS ROCK! :D

  • loooooool

  • he's the best! he's very talented and he is a great guitar player!

    GREEN DAY FOR LIFE~!

  • oh billie i love you but hendrix awesome

  • Maybe he's not the best guitarist, but he is a fucking awesome musican, singer, songwriter and entertainer, too!

    And Green day are the best :-)

  • i think he's the best no matter wat in all those things you listed up there elekay

  • Awsome! Billie Joe's an awesome guitarist! He rocks!

  • but as far as billie's own music

    hes extremely talented

  • he is a great guitarist

    how he made up his guitar notes in songs, Awesome. but really, after Hendrix

    Every1 learned off Hendrix

    so hes the greatest guitarist of all time

    another reason is that he was the 1st to find and play the fastest notes Himself, no help, no practice. the guitar god, jimi hendrix!

  • He's so amazing live!

    and DAMN is he HOT<3

  • don't need speed to be a good guitarist

  • dick face hes better that you

  • you just think that someone who knows knows how to play guitar and be good at it must play fast as light like the ones u mentioned but thats not what it is!!!!and billie joe rocks!!!!

  • they like him cause hes an entertainer

  • FUCK YOU

    zakk wylde is a fucking creep

  • So? He shreds is what's important. Hope that on the next GD album we see a return to songs that are more like the stuff off of kerplunk with crazy solos like this. Ya there are tons of people that can play better solos than him, hell my guitar teacher could probably kick his ass in a 'guitar duel' but still, that's so sick I sure as hell can't play like that!

  • what concert is this from

  • =P amazing!!!! I SOOOO want to see him live!

  • He's amazing live, I've been within ten feet of it.

  • do you know how envyous i am of you right now? haha, billie's next on the list to meet, well just see him live at least, i've already been lucky enough to see my first fav band live 3 times front row and have gotten to meet them, now it's time to see billie =D

  • Lol, I want to actually meet him too. He's so short! I've got some videos on my page of the concert if you want to check them out.

    Their my first favorite band, who's yours?

  • Bello e bravo....

  • parole sante! ahhha

  • He's the best.

  • So cool :) He was skinny here.. Now he har gained weigth

  • To billie4tre: you r so right. He does age backwards! Lol

  • which concert is this?

  • lol if he was 18 id totally do him,doesnt mean i wouldnt now i just reckon he was cuter but does anyone else notice he ages backwards hes hotter now then when he was in his teens

  • omg..... if he wasnt 25 years older than me i would soooo marry him rofl

  • iant billie joe just awesome?!!!

    he played a few solos on 1039'

    my favourite being 'Dry Ice' .

    but then they found what they are really all about. just awesome punk. or pop punk if you're jealous of green day being the punk icons atm.

  • Jesus. He really needs to add some badass solos to his songs!  Seriously. It's like he's not showing all his talent!

  • I know right! I was thinking that aswel, i've seen other video's of him playing a mean guitar solo thats incredible yet in his songs he doesn't add any & the chords are pretty much all basic. Billie is an incredible guitarist!

  • I guess that's because they want to keep theyre music as much punk as they can(not saying that they're playing punkrock, but very similar to the genre) where the songs doesnt have much solos.

    For example; The Misfits, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys and other punkrock band don't have much solos in they're songs.

    Just my thought, so don't be hatin'.

  • That is VERY true. Punk rock really doesn't involve many kick ass solos, but if he's this talented he could showcase it in a few songs. Of course, maybe he doesn't want to show off.

  • Yeah, they really are. Even the solos are incredibly easy.

  • so true
