[1arvindtison]

Billie dont spit on floor while performing-.-

[infinityhydra]

Alright, first for all u 21st century people its not tre cool drummin its john kiffmeyer, and second, ive never seen a left hand drummer playbits weird

[spangle236161]

I would've killed to be at one of their earlier concerts! If only I'd been alive then..

[1990GreenDay2009]

What is Billie playing at 00:37

[kinggagkk]

@1990GreenDay2009 I think it's a Randy Rhoads thing from I Don't Know, first song on the first Ozzy Osborne record. It's right at the end of the guitar intro, just before the vocals start, at about 30 seconds in.

[JaredDrakeBellFan]

the real blue!!

[RubberNinjaPwn]

LOLOLOL!!!!! Mike at the beginning of the song! :D

[joneshankyjones]

[dasher0800]

[Marc76145]

[MordaciousFilms]

Where was this? Some shitty highschool? What a bad crowd, come on fuckers GET UP and dance.

[TheLastMinuteMusic]

[PaulGibson100]

@TheLastMinuteMusic This guy.

[crazier10]

@TheLastMinuteMusic nahhh he got replaced late 1990. tre was there when the album came out

[sweetkid55]

I bet all those people in the background are now like "...shit!".

[annmac101]

How great to see them at the very beginning of their career! I love the interaction between Billie & Mike, even if Mike's on the wrong side ;) and Billie Joe looks just like his son Joey does now-sings better, though!

[THEWEIRDOLOVESYOU]

mike and billie <3 <3

[KrokusRandamity]

"This song is about taking a piece of salmon, and shoving it in my ass."

.....That's deep stuff

[KrokusRandamity]

"This song is about taking a piece of salmon, and shoving it in my ass."

[Alternativemusiconly]

Wow it loks like they had skinny jeans before they were cool

[KelseyTaylor19TV]

FUCK BILLIE JOE'S SOOO HOTT

[Quferta]

Not Tre. This is Al Sobrate.

[PaulGibson100]

@Quferta Both are Beast and should be honored to have played in this great band! :)

[LosOchenta13]

4:03 el medio pollo po' ql xd

[PretzleRox]

im so glad someone recorded this

[bigboner1967]

Hahaha, I love Billie Joe!! "And ram it up my ass!" I swore at my school when I performed and they suspended me, nobody did shit here, lol.

[StevenRemley]

How come when dookie came out Billie looks tiny but in this video hes looks like a rip suffer dude lol

[NewBornVampiire]

HAHA! I love Mike's energy! x)

[musicisaddict]

This is one of my all time favorites

[southamericanrocker]

where was this!?

[Greenday1980s]

@TreCoolRockzXD Agreed Tre is way better al doesn't have a rytem no wonder why they got Tre and Tre is funny.

[BeatlesLvr11]

They are effing stoned man... :-)

[TreCoolRockzXD]

al is no where near as cool as the one and only TRE' COOL

[ETMR90]

Al Sobrante wasn't the drummer in 1990, therefore this isn't footage from the 90s.

[Xjelly95]

@ETMR90 yea, he kinda was :P ive been listenin to green day since i was 5, no backtalk

[ETMR90]

@Xjelly95 Ok? I've been listening to Green Day since I was -5? Who gives a shit, maybe sobrante was playing with them for a few months in 1990, but that's when tre cool became the drummer after sobrante left for college.

[blinkgreen129]

@ETMR90 John Kiffenmeyer aka Al Sobrante, after El Sobrante, CA was the drummer in 1990. Billie Joe and Mike were seniors and were to graduate in June of that year. Billie Joe dropped out though. Al Sobrante was 3 years older than them so he decided to finally go to college. Tre joined them later in 1990, but this video is from 1990 and Al Sobrante is the drummer.

[ETMR90]

@blinkgreen129 Duh? Didn't I essentially just say that? I just expunged the pointless information.

[PaulGibson100]

@ETMR90 We was the drummer in th 90s. Tre came in later that year after Al S' left for college.

[TheLOLcommercials]

i don't like al sobrante

[daniel06gonzalez]

tree cool is better than al sobrante

[ocha03]

Is this the truth greenday?

[Aheaddrummer15]

@ocha03 what?! o.O^^

[lavenderlavalampgirl]

i <3 his guitar!!!

[Jacleby]

is that the origonal blue

[Aheaddrummer15]

@Jacleby jup (:

[TheMelissaNakama]

THe first song I heard of their was "Dominated Love Slave" and it so does not sound like the rest of their stuff..I take it that it's because Tre possibly wrote it?

[13thmemory]

@TheMelissaNakama yep...he did. and all by myself and DUI.

[PaulGibson100]

@TheMelissaNakama He did. haha. Same with "All By Myself"

[randomOVERrandomness]

In the begining he sounds like hes stoned lol

[9Astrid7]

good good good!!

[Kreisler80]

This is REAL Green Day...I miss You!!Old School Rocks!!

[christieroadxx]

why are those people just walking by and not even looking at thgem, am i the only one that thinks that they are better here, then now? i would give anything to be one of those people walking past, seeing old green day.

[VivaLaMarco21]

Man I wish I was born earlier and could see them live in their early days !

[jewishmilkman]

I love the way all those people are walking around oblivious to the fact that they are ignoring a performance from what would 14 years later be the biggest band in the world :P

[cabose1995]

@jewishmilkman I know. They're all probably thinking, "Some one tell those punks to shut the fuck up."

[CrimsonNightsoul]

@jewishmilkman Get your facts right...

[mjandicehockey4ever]

@jewishmilkman jap and if they had known that they´ll become so popular they would have listened and they could say now that they liked them before they became popular xD

[wreckedbasket19]

@jewishmilkman They were kind of sort of big in 1994. Little album called Dookie.

[jewishmilkman]

@wreckedbasket19

This is before 1994. Otherwise they wouldn't be playing in a schoolyard.

[jizezcch]

@jewishmilkman 1990

[femihunden]

@jewishmilkman well four years really 

[joshjl2]

LOL ''Take a piece of salmon and ram it up my ass'' WTF

[TheMelissaNakama]

would that make it less annoying?

[joshjl2]

@TheMelissaNakama wat?

[rlphrlph]

same here i relate 2 this album 2 this album

[chipsamy]

that guitar is awesome!

[youtaughtmehowtolive]

i love how billie joe is tuning mike's bass in the beginning

[DisappearingGirl24]

When I started listening to these old Green Day songs I was like 13, now I'm 16 and I can understand what this song is about, because I feel the same!

[HyruleLand]

Yeah :D. This is one of my favs.

[pornocreep]

@DisappearingGirl24

Now YOU make me feel old.

I first heard this song in '90. I am now 29! The great days of Green Day. Strangely their album was of similar sound quality to this video.

[DisappearingGirl24]

@pornocreep yay ur lucky! i wish i grew up in the 90' with all the awesome music around. I can't do anything about it and now Green Day have gotten old and play more serious music that is not as good as their first albums. I know many people will disagree. I just like their sweet, innocent style, back from when they were teenagers with no make-up on :)

[rapunzabatera]

@DisappearingGirl24 -> I went in a show here in Brazil, November, 6th 1998... The best show I went in my whole life!!! Now, they'll play here again in "woodstock brazil edition"... I won't go to see them... They suck now...
