i think they cover it so well because it fits with the themes that they sing about so often. it kind of personifies their world view. i agree, john lennon (rip) would be proud.
sumthings tellin me this is mimed the guitaris dosent seem 2 play the chords right when theres the wee fancy bit im no expert but i think this has been mimed
he didnt turn it into a song- that was already done... tho he does nail it. im worried tho.. playing american idol?? the new album described as "power pop"?? i wanted them 2get out of mainstream after american idiot and return 2 wat made them great. i'm not expecting dookie... that time has passed... but power pop is still the other extreme... its a bit of a slap in the face 2 the real fans who defended them thru the AmIdiot thing to release an album aimed at the BOBD teenyboppers... not loyal
They toured all over the US TWICE! It was the same show in Dallas, TX and Fort Worth, Texas as it was in England. I was at both. You truly are ignorant.
that has to be the most retarted comment ive ever heard. in the beginning billie says welcome to green day WORLD tour. now that includes england and the US. how could a band from the US not tour a number one album? they played shows at aevery major city, because thats what you do when you go on a world tour. so please use your brain next time waste of semen before you make stupid ass coments
this always makes me laugh when people call punks "sell outs".... whats the best way to go and stick it to the man? go and make yourself heard by 50 million people who are then gonna feel the same as you!! Dickhead
Fuck i can't belive i missed this shit. I remember the night.I was like i hope Green Day is on tv today and like i was kinda watching this but then i was lie ok American idol is gay i'm changing the channel,and i missed the performance by one commercial break before i decided to change the channel..fuck! But w/e i can still see it here so it's all good
Wow,that´s soooo great! I love this so much! Go,Billie,go!
