Wats tha diff between the original and this one?

[yutuubfreak]

@JLE82998 the original is from the 50's has a standard p 90 and slightly fatter neck

[obalobaloo]

@JLE82998 It's stated in the video, but it basically has a slimmer 60's style neck and one hum cancelled P-90. And it's badass too.

[Peanutbutter585]

@EPerfect97 Yeah, that'd be sweet!!

[JDclassof13]

@Peanutbutter585

Billies original Blue was a Fernandez Strat.

[BlueGreendayCovers]

@Peanutbutter585 Why when you can make 1. or buy one for 300 dollors?

[Ohwow979]

@Peanutbutter585 they can't cause that guitar is not a fender

[supermrawesomeman]

@Peanutbutter585 blue is a fernandes, not a fender

[Entzivean]

he cant play solos for his life

[mastashooter1]

@Entzivean I beg to differ, watch?v=DVUpaAZOGHE

[Entzivean]

@mastashooter1 k first things first shut up. if you like this than you dont know music ok. and hes my friends uncle so im not totally against him but he sucks

[mastashooter1]

@Entzivean First you said that Billie Joe cant play solos, watch this video watch?v=DVUpaAZOGHE it shows crazy awesome solos that Billie Joe recorded and played himself on their first album, I'm not also going to argue with you of what you think music is and Green Day, I don't give a fuck of what you haters who don't know anything think about them

[Entzivean]

@mastashooter1 k then

[chirpkook]

they should interview a real guitarist

[TheDannySite]

@chirpkook Billie Joe is a real guitarist, dude! for real.... Plus they must interview him if it's his signature guitar! Green Day rocks

[surfinthesun1]

best hair.

[nathan2rock]

they play american idiot like 100 times in this video, so annoying

[allfilm100]

MY GUITAR IS PRETTY COOL, IT'S THE SAME SORT AS DE GUITAR THAT BILLY JOE ARMSTRONG USED IN THE LIVE PREFORMANCES, AROUND THE DOOKIE ERA, BUT MY ONES NEW LOL

[trecoolcool]

@allfilm100

no body gives a shit?

[allfilm100]

@trecoolcool well u just disregard it dumbass peice of shit.

[MajesticYeti11]

His off his face!

[MatthewMiniuk]

Tell me guys what's better if I want to play Green Day music:

Gibson Les Paul Junior 1958 Satin White

or

Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster MN Daphne Blue

I ain't ever play a guitar and I don't know which one I should buy help !!!

[SgtDillPickle]

@MatthewMiniuk

Dude, you're going to spend that much money on a guitar that you can't even play? Just get a Fender Squier, or some cheap Les Paul. There cheap, but are good for begginers and are alot better better than crappy Toys R Us guitars.

[MrDobo24]

@MatthewMiniuk buy a squier. Buying a really good guitar first is Not a good idea

[shatteredrain1]

@MatthewMiniuk Get an Epiphone Les Paul Junior I've got one it's a good first guitar. Or get a Squier Stratocaster. There's no point getting an amazing guitar at first coz you might'nt stick with it :)

[razberiix]

He looks like he just really really Wants to play that guitar

[1039KdInWa21st]

Gum! Me wanz green gum now!

[paleontologojv]

[GreendayIsMyLifexDDD]

[Fiakosorio]

Hey everybody!!! just watch this video... Dee Dee King play the B.J.A. Gibson at the 6:10 min. - /watch?v=svoqeW1p_eI&feature=r­elated -.... Respect from Argentina

[rosco3956]

he looks like shit in the video

[Abz90L]

1 pickup? wtf thats shit

[ThePeaveyGeneration]

@Abz90L Its called "simplicity" and that makes it beautiful!

[Abz90L]

@ThePeaveyGeneration its a ruined guitar...face it

[ThePeaveyGeneration]

@Abz90L How so?

[Abz90L]

@ThePeaveyGeneration 1 pickup? why not call it an acoustic

[ThePeaveyGeneration]

@Abz90L Because the majority of acoustic guitars don't have pickups. Hence the name "acoustic." Also, this was intended as a student model at its inception. They used just one pickup in order to make the guitar cheaper to produce, as well as purchase. Two pickups are unnecessary for one who is just learning guitar. Which is why they created the Les Paul Junior, as well as the Melody Maker.

[Nickpatient]

@ThePeaveyGeneration I love simplicity and a guitar but, in this case it makes it more overpriced than beautiful. Especially since it costs more than a standard Les Paul junior.

[ThePeaveyGeneration]

@Nickpatient Well, I wasn't referring to this guitar specifically. I agree though. It is overpriced just because it has his name on it. Comparing the specs, this is the same axe as the standard junior, barring a few minor things here and there.

[scatered1]

@specialedified nope. i do to.

[punkrock4ever7]

he looks so fucked up lol

[Megaiamepic]

1:30 what's in his mouth?

[MalchikBlue]

@Megaiamepic Gum

[111cogjix111]

@Megaiamepic It's not what you think. It's just gum.

[greendarmstrong]

" I am billie Joe Armstrong"

Dude, who doesn't know That !

[tatizgreen98]

jaja q bn :D

[puddles9767]

he looks like he had an allergic reaction or something! O.o

[topagent70]

I would buy this but I cannot afford a gibson ):

[GoofyGluk]

@topagent70 same here dude it sucks =(

[onlyiasip]

i thougt blue was his fauvorite guitar

[traindude95]

@onlyiasip he did, but fernandes is a small company, and i don;t think he would endorse a replica from a diff company, he performs mainly with LP's and 335s anyway so...why not make a gibson>?

[iBlah6666]

@traindude95 But Fender makes Blue replicas for him now. 

[joseph507357]

BJ should do a Interview for blue

[fenderdirnt37]

When he said, "My name is Billie Joe..." I thought, "DUH! Everyone knows who you are!" :)

[psychodynasty]

Come to my channel, you will not regret!

[cosmari1]

is this recently?becuase billie has changed a lot!

[GoldenKrusader]

@cosmari1 This video was uploaded in 2006.

[Eastendersdeaths]

@cosmari1 He looks wierd in this interview, But usually he dont look like this, to me he looks old here, but he don't. Bad day I guess.

[cosmari1]

@Eastendersdeaths Maybe you're right i guess i could explain it differently...

[sashacoco111]

Soim Heheh Sounded Like Sum

[NatWolff43567890]

LO I I have Frender

[akguitar94]

sounds like he doesnt know shit about guitars and is just reading a script.

[CrazyCanuckLord]

LOL look at his gum on 1:29

[Goldsworthy98]

is he chewing pot?

[Raisume24]

@Goldsworthy98 Nope... lmfao.. it's spearmint gum. =P lmfao

[G1r2e3e4n5D6a7y81]

why is the ebony ones neck bent??!!

[LifeBringsMusic]

@G1r2e3e4n5D6a7y81 It's being shot with a fishbowl lens from that angle. It's just not as epic as your run-of-the-mill fishbowl effect so it's kinda hard to tell.

[xxKYLExGxx]

I love Green Day but the majority of their fans are unbearable

[LilReaper608]

i dispise this guitar

[ravenshield56]

Now, if only he couuld play it

[punk9638GD]

442 assholes

<3 BJA!

[LabambaThe100]

no matter the guitar is made up for beginner. its still good!

i want les paul guitar!!

[idiotbrosinc]

0:47 "It comes in this color, that color, and that color XD I want a Les Paul Junior so bad but being a lefty has left me a victim once again.

[bmac8322]

in reference to all the sellout comments: compare the video(or looks from the eras) from basketcase to the video for 21 guns. im a fan, but not a fan of eye makeup. in my opinion, they kinda sold out but not because of their music, its the look. matching button up shirts and ties with eye shadow compared to the old just tshirts and stuff. its not a bad idea to make yourself more marketable, but wearing eyeliner? come on, man

[VIPhiggz09]

theres also one with a wood finish ;)

[ridintheconcretewave]

If I have to hear the guitar riff to American Idiot one more time...

[artyfroze]

.

HIJO DE PUTA

.

[XSpartaKitty]

@itsmarshmallowz I like how you try to speak for all 'punks'. They got their music out there to fans like me. Just because they have alot of fans, doesn't mean they sold out. They can't control who likes their music and who doesn't. They write what they want, how they want, when they want, and not just for the money, to express how they think. It doesn't have to go with some 'code of rules' from some 'scene'. 'Punks' tend to go against society, don't they?

[redbulletlive]

Anyone else notice the only song they use in the ENTIRE video is American Idiot?

[matvarn]

fucking play it then

[SumofUsTV]

@itsmarshmallowz Hmm...It's kinda funny that when they signed to a major label, everyone was saying how they changed their sound. And to prove them wrong, Green Day released "Insomniac" which was a great angry, fast punk record, but they were never really hardcore or anything in the first place.

[zachdawson1822]

@itsmarshmallowz shut up faggot 

[Kmcmon88]

I play a junior bass. We tiny musicians can relate :P

[GreenDayforever141]

Y'know Billie can't go without saying "y'know" in any of his interviews, y'know? It just wouldn't be right!

[bambamsamsh]

punk rock almost never sells out. it just gets better. sure a few songs got mainstream but thats like 2 out of 486486358567845683567868

[amysvloggs]

@jampants1 no, but they are

[8justin88]

*billie joe says sentence* (american idiot rift) *billie says another sentence* (GOING OUT TO IDIOT AMERICA) *billie joe says sentence* (american idiot rift) *billie says another sentence* (GOING OUT TO IDIOT AMERICA) *billie joe says sentence* (american idiot rift) *billie says another sentence* (GOING OUT TO IDIOT AMERICA) hahaha... but no, i srsly want one of those gtars...

[royalknight2]

@8justin88

Haha thats funny, since gibsons are made in usa

I sigh at gibson's marketing division.

[MrAuzden]

so i have a gibson les paul jr but it dosnt have a p90 just a humbucker... whats the sound difference? and should i get a p90 installed?

[StephenFiorentini]

Did they do an epiphone version?

[MrHatenoobs]

0:33 i don't want to buy that black billie joe junior because the neck is crooked! XP

I only buy that billie joe junior if he played on it!!! XD

[mattandhisguitar]

[Wodey25]

[35mattrock]

@Wodey25 yep lol



[honeydukes313]

@oksanaizawsome American Idiot on Broadway. Met him after the show :)))

[GuitarGuyRocker]

Does anyone know if u can get a left handed version of this guitar?

[MikeDirntBass2468]

@GuitarGuyRocker Not from what i can tell unless you make it yourself or ask gibson to make one (:

[NatWolff43567890]

Awesome 

[XrayJoel]

I want 1!!!!!!!!!

soz peeps accidental flag!!

oops!!!

[PsychoTractor]

i want to be his wife!!!

[turbinevalentine]

So you recreated a 50's Jr with a thin neck and a different pickup. Basically you took the two best things about the Junior... changed them... and it only took "a couple of years". Way to go Gibson (and Billie Joe)!!!

[MegaNikkinoodles]

is it me or does billie look really fuckin' gay in this interview, crossing his legs like a queer...nice hair fag

[mguygh]

@MegaNikkinoodles I bet you would fuck him...especially since you like this hair so much

[FishandchipsMania]

Dude, Billie, what happened to your hair in this video...? It looked waaay better in the American Idiot music video. I love ya, love your music, usually love your hair, think your utterly and extremely amazing and hot, but, seriously, it looks like something died on your head.

[Goeries]

1:30 - 1:35 what's that thing in his mouth?

[zizispoonie876]

@Goeries gum
