[blondeblond1]

Green Day was originally mamed Sweet Children then changed their name to Green Day so they wouldnt be counfused with another band by the name of Sweet Baby, and the name Green Day came after a day long pot smoking binge :D

[ELIZEBETHGALLOWAY]

Its funny how Green Day has a song called Sweet Children And Sweet Children has a song called Green Day so weird...

[MrTech991]

@ELIZEBETHGALLOWAY Green day IS sweet children.

[TheJohnny990]

@ELIZEBETHGALLOWAY There the same band

[Geekstinkbreath123]

0:50 I'm following 'cause I Understand

[alexoconnor5]

should be made into a video and but also redone on dookie

[Geekstinkbreath123]

@deedzvodka

 the fuck do you mean by that?

[nadademais1234]

sounds like welcome to paradise

[ObamaDNigg]

@SnorriTheNosebitter

It's funny because you spelled 'Die''and''Videos'' wrong.

[TmastaTay]

@SnorriTheNosebitter If you're going to spam a video, spam Rebecca Black, not Green Day.

[MrTech991]

First 10 seconds sounded almost exactly like welcome to paradise.

[cherry12947]

This kinda sound like Basket Case...:D Lol

[greendaykicksass1101]

@cherry12947 to most people it sounds like welcome to paradise

[TheInvisibleNiki]

they should make more songs like this again !

[OoStefborgoO]

Sweet Children : Billie joe armstrong (guitar/vocals) , Mike Dirnt (vocals/bass),

Al Sobrante (he left the band in 1990) (Drums).Founded in 1987. Since Tre Cool

had joined they re-named the band Green Day. The Best day in my F***ING Life!!!!!

[canadianidiot1039]

this song is epic. why cant green day play this live more often :(

[crazyrazza4evar123]

@canadianidiot1039 But literally no-one (or very few people) who would be there would recognise the song. A lot of the people at the concerts are there because they heard "Know Your Enemy" or "21 Guns" on the radio.

[canadianidiot1039]

@crazyrazza4evar123 yeah but cmon, they support both old and new fans XD

[NiceGirlCalledMia]

Is it their first single?

[ZitrusMyBudgie]

@NiceGirlCalledMia No :)

[NiceGirlCalledMia]

@ZitrusMyBudgie So can you tell me what's their first single?

[GeekStinkBreath21]

Dude, cheers for uploading, you're the god of creating Green Day lyric vids.

[SbibiSbi]

SWEEETH CHILDRENHHHH!!!!!!!

[Uplip]

A song about wanking and fucking. Sweet.

[thebobbalo1]

Billie Joe sounds so different in this song! :o

[Theboss212122]

[xxheather14o]

Those pictures are too cute (:

[ljc9509]

Aaaaahhhhh the young Green Day!

[cjguth3]

I could listen to this song all day every day and never get tired of it

[23Tuv]

Heh, I always thought it was "She's got boyfriend on the brain"

I was so wrong D:

Awesome song! "Thumbs up"

[Upstairsofficial]

[cenation2810]

[RandysWrestling]

...Reminds me of my town ._.

[Sk8Charlie1]

It sounds like welcome to paradise only backwards... :D

[NightElfFan]

Before the name of the band "Green Day",the band was called "Sweet Children"

[horselover85308]

[daisy63976]

[walk1ngkontrad1ction]

[mbkids01]

@NightElfFan no duh

[TheRoversReturn96]

my favourite green day song :D <3

[yonsuckas]

can everybody count that dislike as a like? i sneezed as i was about to hit the like button

[Hindriux]

@yonsuckas just press the like again?

[Shenanigans07]

The lyrics to this song are fucking great, I think XD

My favourite lines

"Impurity has now been gripped, he takes away her innocence"

"The slightest urge runs through his hands"

[guiguidu11380]

Why everybody say this is is "old green day" ? THIS IS green day !

[secretpenguinben]

@guiguidu11380 this is green day but it was there really early stuff in 1987 and most people have only heard of their music from American Idiot and onwards

[ahahaGreenDaymusic]

@guiguidu11380 thank you!!!!!!!!

[razberiix]

Actually this song is opposing good kids and bad kids. The bad ones will get into trouble but have good memories when the good ones do everything right

[razberiix]

I live in England!! At least theyre in your country!!

[justGDk]

1:12 *w*

[deedzvodka]

Guarantee you the 1 dislike listened to "minority" too many times HA

[Brigister]

@deedzvodka I don't get it :| can you explain me? xD sorry

[Giuu1039]

lol, compare this lyrics with the ones from GeekStinkBreath (one of green day's fan page) LMAO

[Giuu1039]

It's sooo funny, compare this lyrics to the ones from GeekStinkBreath (one of Green Day's fan page) LMAO

[PunkZombie1300]

@ganon1994 actually welcome to paradise's intro was inspired by "Blitzkrieg Bob" by The Ramones

[andreacrespin1]

who thinks green day should start a usa tour

[olwhatsernameJoe]

@andreacrespin1 Me, me, me, me,me, me, me, me, me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It fuckin sucks. They never come to where I live. I live in Oklahoma and the closest they come to us is Texas. IIIII would walk there! But my parents are lazy fucks and wont get up and drive. AND MY MOM ALSO WANTS TO SEE THEM LIVE!

[catloveR2121]

Actually its sweet children by sweet children

[ganon1994]

sounds kinda like "welcome to paradise", maybe its tune was inspired by this?

[blueandpurpleful]

@ganon1994 yeah the start sounds the same, but its just the first couple of chords.

[theshadowofafigure]

Billie Joe is a sweet child :)

[Wormie356]

If they where called Rainbow Day it would kinda be creepy with this song...

[ifuckinluuvbilliejoe]

OMFG! THAAAAANK YOU SO FUCKIN' DAMN MUCH! I COULDN'T FIND THIS SONG ANYWHERE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! ':DD I LOVE THIS SONG (;',

[PrivateFluffee]

1:15 mike dirnt or micheal jackson?.. haha

[musicNgameboy1]

If they had the name "sweet children" and they wrote this song while there name was "sweet children" would it be sweet children by sweet children? lol

[VideoScope45]

Greendays first song

Well, Green Day originally started out as Sweet Children, with Billie Joe (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Mike Dirnt (Bass/Backing Vocals), and John Kiffmeyer (Drums). So their first song was "Sweet Children"... In 1990, they changed their name from "Sweet Children" to "Green Day". Green Day's first song was 1,000 Hours, on the 1,000 Hours LP.

[JTH1282]

@VideoScope45 don't you mean EP

[carsonovaproductions]

Who would've thought that this small little band would have turned into an internationally known AMAZING band.

[forust98]

UH MU GU WAS THAT BILLY WITH A MULLET or just some random guy?

[btcc11]

@1AveSatanas6 I know, I just got it mixed up

[YoinkStudios]

I like how they wrote "Green Day" while they were Sweet Children and then they wrote "Sweet Children" when they became Green Day >.<

[brandoncw111]

Green day used to be called "Sweet children"

[keyblade09]

now thats what I call punk

[cokezzzftw]

Oh my God I love that picture of Tre at 1:20.

[misterbasketcase]

you can tell that the picture before the lag included John. So it must be somewhere like 1989...I love seeing such pictures <3

[greendayfreak43]

i remember the first time i was shown this song. i havent listened to it until now.

[MrNickPeters]

oow come one 8486 watches WTF thats not very mutch :(

[Jetgui22]

this song doesn't deserve 2 get 8,000+ views :(

so for all people who has FaceBook please share all the songs of Green Day which are not really that known.

[xHearter]

haha, listen to this and then holiday. see how much they improved, its amazing!

[chalkboardproduction]

this song doesnt really sond like green day :/  its ok..

[pifsmoker1]

Those are the correct lyrics

[alexander84rugg]

great job on these vids dude.

[Pesciolinoparatutto]

Sweet Children : )

[matt420davis]

when u play this on guitar, is he just useing down strokes?

[Tayl0rM0msenFan]

I love it.♥

goooood :D

[nelsonspainting]

the bigening before the lyrics it kinda sounds like welcome to paradice

[PunkZombie1300]

@nelsonspainting yeah i was thinking that too :3

[acoop777]

who orangly did this song

[bobanook]

@acoop777 Sweet children (the band they had before green day. same members)

[Vasconvinta]

@bobanook

Isn't there Al Sorbante?

Trè Cool took his place in the new band, I think.. :)

[jano96zz]

this old greenday

[TheEasthouse]

on the chorus i think it's: sweet children sweet children will never win. not remember when

[greenday2themax]

@theshadowofafigure That's because he was like 20 or something!!!

[jinxfink]

sounds like my town. seems like Oakland CA and Citrus County FL have a lot of similarities. yknow....except one has a legendary underground punk scene and the other has a lot of cows and elderly folk.

[ujusttodambugly]

@jinxfink ya just that small difference

[jinxfink]

@ujusttodambugly yea i know, right? the closest thing to that here is the christian rock thing that people here make a big deal about......no thank you.

[Lukith66]

didnt they used to be called 'sweet children' ?

[esnide22]

@Lukith66 yes but they changed it so they dont get mixed up with sweet baby they named it green day cause of their love of weed at the time

[ricochetfuzzy]

this song is almost a rip off of black flag's "white minority"

the old green day is still the best though

[JebusDaEternal]

So this song is about growing up in a fucked up town?

[Pasalaqcua]

@JebusDaEternal No it's about how the bad kids always get in trouble

[ImNoJadedImsoniac]

@JebusDaEternal this song is about teenagers who were good, but they turned the wrong way.

[xboxtipsnl]

@JebusDaEternal a fucked up world

[Riku7538]

@JebusDaEternal

This was before Tre and them being Green Day, they had John and they were called Sweet Children... You're correct

[smittypunker]

@JebusDaEternal its a song about how bad kids always get blamed for shit

[TheJial1796]

@JebusDaEternal Just like every other adolescent teenager in america ;)

[legalizeit727]

@JebusDaEternal The song is about a kid raping a virgin

[24GREENDAY11]

OLDSCHOOL GREENDAY :D

[Homer22234555]

could you do "At the Library"?

[nickytung]

@WeedleOnFire this song inspired the name Sweet Children for their first band. but then they changed it, but kept the song

[damonin]

nah dude these are the right lyrics, the ones posted all over the internet are the wrong ones.

[simpsonNirvana94]

good OLD green day

[PaudinsDrawings]

the begining sounds little bit like welcome to paradise

[Homer22234555]

@PaudinsDrawings they used the same chord progression and possibly the same bassline in a lot of their songs but they still sound original

[akecleon1]

i think the lyrics might be wrong

[SrpskiStevieG]

@akecleon1 it was very hard to find the correct lyrics because every lyrics site has different lyrics for this song so i took lyrics from greendayauthority and i don't think they are wrong because that site is reliable :)

[smittypunker]

@SrpskiStevieG use the green day authority site because all lyrics are official

[btcc11]

@SrpskiStevieG This song is called Green Day by Sweat Children sooo yeaah you got the name wrong

[SrpskiStevieG]

@btcc11 no you got it wrong... song "Green Day" is totally different than this song...

[btcc11]

@SrpskiStevieG yeaaah sorry about that I realised that shortly after writing the comment

[SrpskiStevieG]

@btcc11 no problem ;)

[kevinerrol]

@SrpskiStevieG where can i find the song greenday. i've been searching for that song. and i cant find it in youtube.

[MrHatenoobs]

@SrpskiStevieG green day - sweet children (kerplunk) and sweet children - green day (29 smooth)

[MrHatenoobs]

@btcc11 green day - sweet children (kerplunk)

 and sweet children - green day (29 smooth)

[JTH1282]

@MrHatenoobs 39 smooth not 29

[MrHatenoobs]

@JTH1282 sorry!!! dumb from me!!

[MrHatenoobs]

@btcc11 thats olso why they say SWEET CHILDREN!!!

[cjguth3]

@akecleon1 i think the lyrics are right. because it all makes sence to me. like, the lyrics do

[LynnX9]
