  • Did Greg K. just move? He never moves!

  • I like both bands, but I discovered the Offspring more recently. Their stuff is still good, (IDC what people say, I loved RaF,RaG, almost as much as Americana) but green day sucked for their last two albums. Classic song by Green Day, though, and Dexter can't quite cut it. The weirdest part of this video is seeing Dexter with (way) longer hair than Noodles. O.o

  • LOL, I'm not the biggest Green Day fan (I do like them though), but this is hilarious

    Some people are yelling "yay" and some going "BOOOO"

  • SO AWESOME!!!

  • WHY WASN'T I BORN EARLIER?!?!?!

  • Love both of these bands!!

  • Green Day Rocks

    The Offspring Rocks too It's All !

    ( But Green Day more (A) ) xD 

  • @xPoIDIOT I have ears. Offspring was obviously a better PUNK band regardless of any relationship they may have had.

  • Compared to these guys GD blows.

  • @zTheBigFishz They all played together at Gilman and were friends so saying that means your pissing off the guys from The Offspring too, you obviously know nothing about thier History and have you even been to a Green Day concert? Apparently not, but yet you say they Blow? Go to a concert, then you can have an opinion.

  • @zTheBigFishz they're both great!!

  • Got some'ev my friedns listenning to offspring now couldn't beleive hardly any of them had heard of them, there fans now XD love this song!!!! self esteem is  my fave by offpsring by far

  • This is great! My all-time favorite band covering one of my 2nd all-time favorite band's songs! I never knew... How is it that 16 years go by and I'm just now finding this?!  The more aware I think I am, the more ignorant I find myself to be.

  • It's harder to cheer than it is to boo.

  • si meme offspring reprend basket case J'en profite pour un pti kiff sur offspring!!!

  • @stacyanime I'd have to disagree about Green Day being mellow. Maybe they are like that now, what with 21st Century Breakdown, but back when they first started (I.E. 39/Smooth, Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod, etc.) they were some of the craziest sons of bitches in punk. Hell they turned Woodstock '94 into a freaking mud show (literally). I don't know much about The Offspring outside of "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" but Green Day used to be freaking crazy.

  • @DC11961 you dont know about the offspring outside of 'youre gonna go far kid'??? oh man, youre missing out on a lot. go listen to their album, "Smash." you wont regret it, i swear.

  • @stacyanime Thank you I will. :) but then again I don't really have a lot of friends who listen to the Offspring much. :/

  • @DC11961 i dont either, but that didnt stop me. just give them a try :)

  • @DC11961 That's the beautiful thing about music. lawl. You don't just listen to it because everyone else is. You look forward or look back for the sound you enjoy. :3

  • @DC11961 so did you listen? 

  • @DC11961 lol they didnt mellow out they just went to rehab

  • Awesome vid. Stuff like this is why you go to shows. Keep the punk rock spirit alive.

  • God fangirls make me ashamed to be a Green Day fan...

  • Lol one of my favorite bands doing a cover of a ACTUAL favorite band XD

  • @mythkid1208 same here lol

  • @RaggedM88 you should listen to more of green days old punk music like in kerplunk and 1039 smooth

  • BRUTAL!!!!! MUY BRUTAL!!!!!

  • Some of you fans of the Offspring that laugh at how the punk fans of the Offspring 'boo' at the song don't even know why Green Day is booed by the punk community in the first place. Second, they 'boo' because Dexter stops.

    If you don't know the real reason they probably boo at Green Day, then stfu. We as oldschool Green Day respect the people who don't like Green Day since they left GIlman, but not those who just tag along.

  • I personally like the Offspring way more than green day even if GD is a bigger success commercially. The offsrping just suits my personality more I think. GD is too soft  for my liking- although they also have some songs that I really like Boulevard of broken dreams and holiday.

  • @RaggedM88 im giving you a thumbs up and a reply cuz you basically summed up my feelings for green day and the offspring. though green day has some great songs, theyre more mellow, unlike the offspring, who are loud and in your face. also, a lot of my friends love green day, because the reason they know about green day is from the radio overplaying songs from American Idiot, while i found the offspring on my own, which makes it feel more special.

  • green day should play pretty fly, for the heck of it

  • Desde Argentina le doy las gracias a The Offspring por existir!!!!!!

  • I was 3 years old. Crap.

  • 61 NERDS are country music fans

  • Dexter get in my pants

  • who cares which band is better they both kick ass and thats all that matters

  • The world loves BASKET CASE :D

  • @GDookie16 The World Loves SELF ESTEEM

  • OMG WTF THIS IS WHY I HAVNT EVEN HEARD OF THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHY THEY BOOED HIM TAKE A HINT STUPID

    

  • It seems a little weird, c'mon! Offsprings cover green day? but both bands kick ass!!!

  • 888th like : )

  • Comment removed

  • @MultiNikolas13 nop..

  • is there somewhere to get this in good quality?

  • Both bands are great but put it this way, you wouldn't see Green Day cover an Offspring song.

  • @zonda182

    cos they'd be down a guitar, so it wouldn't sound great

  • @vinniechase26 At live shows Green Day have 3 guitarists including Billie Joe. Bands play covers of other bands who inspired them, Green Day cover bands like AC/DC and Ramones while Offspring cover Green Day. There's no argument who the 'bigger' band is but its your opinion on which is better.

  • @zonda182

    yeah i guess, but the offspring cover ramones aswell, and their cover of i wanna be sedated is one of the best covers ever

  • yeah their both great bands, let's leave it at that.

  • lolololololol these Offspring vs Green Day rants make me laugh.

    still both great bands.

  • @Jimmy95x well they use to be.

  • @conster1101 Liar, I think you did make up figures.

    And for the record, Offspring are already in the studio again, while Green Day's made another self-indulgent live album. They should've stopped those after Tune In Tokyo.

  • @conster1101 Are ya making up numbers now ya goon. Man you pathetic!!!!! GD good, Offspring better

  • nobody has the right to cover green day

  • Million to the date and smash has sold like 14. Not to mention Dookie is soooo much better. So anyways self esteem is an amazing song and all the haters of Green Day can suck my dick.

  • Alright all of you faggots. Green Day shits on the terrible vocals of the offspring. Don't get me wrong I like them but they are not even comparable to Green Day. Oh and to all the Fckin idiots who say Green Day is just easy power chords.... WTF do you think punk rock is? It's not about how hard the songs are to play it's about how they sound. And let's get this straight Dookie has sold over 16

  • @DalyBallin23 Dookie: 15 million. Smash: 16 million to date. Smash is the highest-selling indie album ever, and Dookie is the only punk album to go diamond. Fuck it, they're both awesome.

  • @MiloRamone1 Smash has sold 19 million and Dookie 16 million, Americana 15 million and American Idiot sold 14 million, thats the recent figures

  • @Alywillz Cool, where'd you find those?

  • @Alywillz Uh, what are you talking about? According to the recent figures, Smash and Americana both have sold 12 million copies. Plus, who the fuck cares how many copies were sold anyway, it's all about the music

  • Offspring did Basket Case much better, they don't screw up on their own songs live and don't show signs of paranoia and being high on stage.

  • FUCK GREENDAY OFFSPRING RULES

  • @stevevaldez35 idiot! Green Day's sound much better! Offspring covering this song! Green Day havent covered Offspring' song! what does it mean? Green Day are much better

  • @MuginovT ARE YOU STUPID? GREENDAY IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST OVERRATED BANDS TODAY! I COULD WRITE SONGS BETTER THAN THEIRS WHEN I WAS 10! OFFSPRING, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE DEFINITELY IN THE TOP 2 OR 3 PUNK ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME. ALL TIME.

  • @Radiscool1 I ALSO TYPE IN ALL CAPS WHEN RAGGING ON BANDS

  • @xXxDANMANxXx Sorry I only do that when I hear absolute crap which is opposite to what is obviously correct and I was already pissed off, I flew off the handle a little.

  • @Radiscool1

    Sure you can.

    Why don't you write a GOOD song, make up some guitar riffs and decent beats. then i will believe you.

    I bet all my life savings that you couldn't.

    And Green Day have sold over 65 million records. they are overrated because they actually have talent and contribute decent music people love to hear them.

  • @IfuckinLuvBillieJoe Ok, I will! I'll give you one song that anyone can play, even if it's the first time holding a guitar. Powerchord on E 4th fret, A 4th fret, E 2nd fret... WAIT GREENDAY DID THAT, THAT'S AMERICAN IDIOT! How something even simpler? Here, I'll write you a very simple song. How about a... A7, E7, A4, E4... Wait, that's Pachelbel's Canon in D on guitar, WELL IT'S ALSO BASKET CASE AND GREENDAY DID THAT TOO!

  • @Radiscool1 You've never heard The Judge's Daughter, have you?

  • @IfuckinLuvBillieJoe Oh, yeah, I forgot to add. Hand over all of your life savings, faggot.

  • @Radiscool1

    i had to clean the vomit off my desk after reading this i'm sorry.

  • @MuginovT No, it just means that Offspring have a really good taste in music and Green Day put too much bullshit into their live shows. Truth be told, they both put on the two best live shows of any popular band of the past twenty years, but still.

  • @MiloRamone1 you cant deny that Green Day is one of the most popular rock bands of the 21st century! they r much successful than any band for the past 10 years, or i guees they r on one level with RHCP, Radiohead. Im really sorry but offspring is not as famous as green day. they r writing good music at all! i love their songs: Why dont you get a job or pretty fly. but green day have a lot of awards all over the world.. so..

  • @MuginovT Those two are possibly two of their least rocking songs. And awards don't really matter; Justin Bieber's won awards too.

  • @MiloRamone1 yeah, he won. but not for the best record or best rock album. Dude my point is, that Green Day is one of the most successful band for the past ten years! every magazine, every music channel and 90% of punk rockers will say that they r the best! dont be so mean and look at profit of green day's albums, of their concerts, of their videos. man really its a fact! do you like it or not, but its a fact

  • @stevevaldez35

    Fuck you Steve

    Green Day & Offspring Rules

  • @stevevaldez35 You are correct. 100% correct. "Ruling" is pure opinion, but Greenday has much less talent, skill, and anything and everything else that goes into making good music.

  • @Radiscool1

    it's punk its not meant to be fuckin technically brilliant.

    its for something to lose yourself in mindlessly and jam to because granted it is east to play.

    but fucking fun nonetheless.

  • 58 People Think Justin Bieber has a life.

  • wow wow wow wow the best years.....1990

  • does the offspring still make music, i really want to know because i dont hear any new songs or something?

  • @ShoutingRetard34 they had a new album out in 2008 called "rise and fall, rage and grace" but it was a lot different than the old ones. still great though.

  • this was posted on my B-Day

  • Stop that fucking argument... The members of Offspring, Green Day and Rancid were friends when they were playing in Gilman's, and some of them are still friends... So stop that! They rock! Thumbs up for Californian punk rock!

  • @vasorockgirl Green Day and Offspring are good friends, but Offspring never played at Gilman because they were in Orange County, and Rancid formed only a bit before Green Day were banned from Gilman (although Op Ivy and Green Day were best friends).

  • Seriously isn't it a bit ironic that Offspring are playing Green Day? I think so because The Offspring were the ones that kicked Green Day out of "fame" :D

  • both are amazing, so stfu everyone. :D

  • I dont like green day a lot, but i think that both have talent, eventhough I'm really a fan of The Offspring...

  • dude i remember having this MP3 many years ago, soo cool to hear it again

  • Smash sold more than Dookie and Americana sold more than American Idiot

  • green gay and THE OFFSPRING!

  • self esteem - - - smells like teen spirit rip off! That basket case was shit! Dexter didnt even use correct chord arrangements. American idiot, LOL!

  • @splatterngore u know so little about music.

  • @petvirus - really? Ive been into rock music for the same ammount of time youve been alive ;) youve been a member here for around 4 years now and i must say, your channel is AWESOME!!! LMFAO! Just continue being a YT surfer!

  • @splatterngore umm.... for the song self esteem and to put a vocal melody to the chords.... he used them perfectly you musically retarded jackass. tony iommi from sabbath used all these riff's long before any of these fool's. in theory he is the one being ripped off.

  • @rmarino4471 - Perfectly??? You must be tone deaf LMFOA! Chords were ok [ish], but Billie Joe would be laughing his bollox off at this! "musically retarded jackass" - HAHA! is that your idea of attitude,...coz you fail miserably! Have a good day ;)

  • @splatterngore well now you're comparing your concept of tone to that of one of the largest musical acts to ever exist. so who's the retard. retard.

  • @rmarino4471 - Offspring are far from the best act in the world. Yes, they write some great songs and ive been into the offspring for many, many yrs but dexter can do better. I can play basket case better than this, and i use the correct chord arrangements too. How they are supposed to be played. I dont believe for 1 minute that dexter was taking this seriously, and nor am i,...so i suggest you do the same and quit being a retard yourself. L

  • @splatterngore did I say the best? It is a fact that they're one of the LARGEST. this is where reading comprehension skill's come into play. retard

  • @rmarino4471 - I c you are trying to perfect the art of intimidation and belittlement,...but u fall way short of accomplishing that small task! Im sure if u tried hard enough, u could actually b clever or intelligent - but that my good man will never happen. Anyone who keeps using the same word over and over to gain a response, is clearly the retard. Jog on little boy & get some warm milk frm mummy and then finish your homework. Thats all frm me, but i know u will want the last word, little boy

  • @splatterngore no you literally didn't comprehend what I said. so I called you out on it. little girl. <see that was belittlement

  • Great video!!

    LOL :D XD

  • its levitating man..........

  • am i really reading comments talkin about whose better off spring or greenday just by "how many albums they sold each"....thats fuckin pathetic...money and alot of fans dosent make anyone musically better than anyone.....its talent...and The Offspring and Greenday both have it....so quit bitching...not everything has to be a contest people....and by doing that you miss the whole POINT of music

  • @BlakeTahoe It's Green Day. With a FUCKING SPACE.

    And I just hate people saying Dookie sold more than Smash, it's not true.

  • @MiloRamone1 wow thats what bothered you about my comment? there was no space between green and day? hahaha...relax man..and no real music fan cares about who out sold who..leave that for the record labels to fight over and i do prefer offspring to greenday(no space again)

  • @BlakeTahoe It's just boring to hear the same goddamn mistakes again and again and I wasn't having a good day.

  • @BlakeTahoe Greenday and Offspring were both great bands. Offspring still does a great job, but Greenday... well... American Idiot says it all.

  • this isnt the best cover. but he doesnt sound bad at least. and green days done some pretty good covers. like outsider, teeenage lobotomy and i faught the law.

  • They are the best 2 punk rock bands of the 90's

  • "Is this getting annoying?"

    if I was there, I'd whisper in his ears "yeah. like fuck!"

  • haha sfigai

  • (What dexters thinkin) Hey let's play some shit that an OC band wrote, nawh fuck it i'll just play self esteem, "laaa laa lala la laa la la la la"

  • they were awesome....

  • @paytheman1369

    I will come to ur house, kill ur family, and then make you suck Tres Cool's dick. Then I will impale you and write on ur headstone: now who sucks, bitch!?

  • i mean i love this band, and i love greenday, but dont put them both together, please...

  • the offspring cant sing this to save their life , hes talking it , seriously

  • How many bands are going to ruin this fucking song? Avril, Fag Out Boy, Hellogoodbye, now these guys? seriously wtf that song is a classic why cant people just leave it the fuck alone.

  • @GreenDevil42 I like Green Day, but Green Day has done bad covers themselves as well

  • @GreenDevil42 self esteem is more of a classic then basket case

  • @17TWC nope dookie sold more albums then the one with self esteem on it thus basket case being more popular and more of a classic

  • @GreenDevil42 Dookie sold ten million, Smash sold eleven million. Dumbass.

  • @MiloRamone1 angelfire(dot)com/music/diamon­dawards/main(dot)html thats funny you say that when they are not listed on the site for diamond albums and Green Day is get your facts straight before you talk please.

  • @GreenDevil42 That's because Smash was released on INDEPENDENT LABEL.

  • @MiloRamone1 actually, dookie sold 12 million in the USA and 26 million around the globe

  • @Docas633 Didn't your momma ever tell you it's wrong to lie?

  • @MiloRamone1 yeah she did. and did yours ever tell you what wikipedia is?

  • YAY!! I love how they're nice to Green Day :) They're my two favorite bands!!

  • Green Day and Offspring are the ones who made punk mainstream. Everyone knows that. And the punkers who think they're posers and sellouts then when you're going to hot topic to get your punk clothes remember that it was them who helped make that store become possible and fauxhawks a normal hairstyle for jocks and Angelina Jolie's kids. I bet most of you didn't even know that Beastie Boys started out as a punk band!

  • @holidaysin frist don't want to fight about this but most the punks i know that call green day or offspring posers want to burn down hot toppic i personly like the bands and also beastie boys punk stuff was amazing

  • Self sesteem sounds like smells like teen spirit. the riff at the beginning. oh well

  • @yihd different chord progression and key but similar strum pattern

  • he actually played the "neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it"-part wrong.

  • Green Day are fucking posers compared to the Offspring, anyone that thinks different is wrong.

  • @guzzaroolz You are wrong. Green Day are posers you let offspring hear that you'll get fucked up real bad.

  • @yihd green day are not posers

    green days the greatest band in the world

    the offspring sucks

    they sound like a bunch of pre-teen faggot girls when they sing

    and i will say it to their face and they wont do a damn thing

  • @JimmyBlade69 I didn't say they were posers you fucking idiot. I said if you say green day were posers to offspring's faces they'll fuck you up. You fucking faggot.

  • @yihd yup

    im a faggot

  • @JimmyBlade69 idk if you noticed this... but greenday blows pretty hard. im tired of people worshipping billie joe armstrong like he's jesus.

  • @JimmyBlade69 wow youre fucking retarded. greenday used to be good back in the 90s. now theyre a sell out pop rock band who thinks its cool to wear skinny jeans and wear eyeliner. offspring on the other hand are fucking awesome and stayed to their roots on most of their songs. they went a litle bit mainstream towards the end but nothing on the scale of greenday

  • @rimticketts Motherfucker. All rock bands wore skinny jeans. infact, check out the PINOLE high school video of green day. they wore skinnies way back to 1990. Misfits wore eyeliner too. I dare you say what you say to Offspring. They will fuck you up real bad cuz they definitely love green day mor ethan you.

  • @DoWnToEaRtH100 I don't lol.

  • Green Day, The Offspring and RANCID are the best fucking punkbands!

  • @TobiMille Hell YES!

  • I love The Offspring and Green Day both.

  • @DragonXxDark I completely agree!! Best Bands in the world GreenDay and Offspring!!!!!!

  • @DragonXxDark yeah dude... me too !!

  • lol what assholes, they should've just done the song

  • GREEN DAY UNTIL DEATH....

  • when they started playing self esteem I got confused

  • i remember this day, this was an awsome concert

  • Apparently the Offspring and Green Day are like and oil and water, they don't mix. I guess you can't be a fan of both.

  • they are the same, PUNK ROCK, no need to argue, i like them both.. i love punk rock, i hate rnb and hiphop,...

  • @chevcynne24 you should judge each band/group on their merit, not what genre itunes puts them in...

  • @gingertom97 maybe you're right, but they are the same rock hall of famers, i like them both..

  • a offspring le gusta green day????

  • Offspring is waaaay better than Green day.....they are awesome!

  • Green Day sucks! How are u going to compare the Offspering with Green Day. They should open a circus instead of playing.

  • Oh yeah and further more nothing that Green Day's ever released can match the songs from Smash. Smash is untouchable

  • Alright lemme break it down, I've followed both bands since 1994 when I was 4 years old.

    Green Day IS NOT better! Yes Dookie & Insomniac are legendary especially Insomniac but at least half of Nimrod is gay, Warning had its moments, Shenanigans is a total throwaway and American Idiot was just plain annoying. OFFSPRING have been consistently amazing on every release from the self-titled debut thru the masterpiece that is Rage and Grace.

    Therefore:

    the offspring>green day

  • green day is better

  • @andrewgriner8

    That's like saying getting a blow job is better then gettin laid or whatever... They're both good man. Dookie as well as Smash put punkrock back on the map in the mid '90's so I'm really hoping you are not saying this because Greenday is being played on mtv again and they have some hitsongs nowadays. tbh offspring (specially the first albums) has some technically more advanced songs then Greenday, which doesn't make them better, just a bit more diverse in my opinion.

  • Lmfao...green day kicks the shit out of these assholes.

  • @hieldjiv

    Not even close. Offspring is iconic. Someone didnt live in the 80s.

  • @Truzzzzzi

    I know. theyre good but they have no fucking reason to make fun of green day. assholes.

  • @hieldjiv

    says someone who knows what of the offspring? I like both bands equally tbh but of you make a statement back it up man...

  • do u guys understand dex is making FUN of green day?

  • Heh, I'd love to see them do that in front of Green Day, their music sounds like shit

  • Is this Getting Anoying 1:26

  • haha they are DA BEST :P

  • I like Green Day, but there is just nothing unique about their sound. Their old music sounds like a rip off of The Clash and there new music sounds like an attempt at ripping off U2. The Offpring on the other hand have a clearly defined sound and there is nothing else like it.

  • @DexterHolland412

    Perfectly explained. Thanks.

  • they really cant play this song

  • Dexter has said That he likes Green day But cause They both Got popular in the Mid 90's that every1 thought That There was a new Punk Revolution and He didnt even Consider Offspring as punk at that time; So They wouldnt go on tour together coz It would av Made Them look more Like a Punk band. But they are full-on Punk now so they could tour together, But you neva see 2 Very Popular bands Tour together anyway.BTW both Bands Fuckin rule!!!
