  • Finally they turn mikes bass up! :D

  • so punk rock

    

  • +1 me if u think tre was beast in the beginning :D

  • I listened to these guys in the 3rd Grade!

  • I love Drint's old playing style. all the little fills and octave jumps....he just doesnt do that any more...

  • agreed. his new bass lines are so LAME.. he needs to get back to his old playing style !

  • one of my favorite songs ever. probably top 10, if I could ever choose between Green Day songs.

  • Insomniac is my fave Green Day album :D

    I want old Green Day back x3

    Especially Mike's old playing style, i love all of his extra bits :D

  • @JoeMomma2455

    I totally agree with you dude , Mike Dirnt playing back in the day was sick!

  • good song! =]

  • pedazo de tema conchetumareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Green Day is awesome!!! I love them, looking forward to see them on letterman this year, and see what crazy thing Tre' comes up with =]

    Green Day 4 Life!!!

  • green day was my first real favorite band =]

  • likewise. These guys introduced me to my first punk rock bands too. God, I would be such a different person if i had never listened to fucking green day haha

  • omg cant believe this was 23 years ago

  • no this was in 1995, the name of the song is 86

  • LOL

  • super win money

  • lets hope so! =)

  • Is that Demi Moore in the blue strapless???

  • oh yes! :o

  • geez at first i thought this was from 1986

  • lol 1996.

  • lolz the song is called 86

  • mad, cant wait for the new album

  • the song is 86

  • this is from 1995 not 87......

  • Demi Moore

  • and why the fuck not? he was one fucking TERRIBLE president. why shouldn't they voice their opinions? If you don't want to hear about the real world, then grab all the non-political green day you have and go live in a cave. no one will miss you, i promise.

  • Alot of their old songs were political too. Minority, Warning, etc.

  • theres no return from 86. don't even try.

  • i agree...the new album should sound like this.

    but American Idiot is not fucking polictical as an album! just fucking american idiot and hoilday are! the rest are ballards and amazing songs!

    green day rock...always have on every album at somepoint.

    but yea...more nimrod.

  • the next album better sound like a 20 year old band made it and not some kids. that was why so many ppl hated it... too simple and repetive.

  • I read that the next album is going to be power pop which sounds like a sell out album to me but I'm sure whatever they put out will be sick.

  • ahh damn. theres no more hope for good music. angels and airwaves is puttin out a new album too soon

  • do you even know what a sell out is? just because a punk band plays something other than punk doesn't make them a sell out, i personally think playing only punk would be boring as fuck. and selling out is when you do something you don't want to just for them money, and they hace seemed to be proud of what they;ve done, si i don't see how they are sell outs, though i will admit its sad they've drifted away from the dookie sound, i still don't think they are sell outs because they play other music

  • they used to be a punk band is what i implied, i didn't mean they were a punk band now. billie even said they weren't a "Punk" band, he said "we don't want be one of the biggest 'punk' bands in the world, we want to be one of the biggest bands in the world."

    true that 1,039 and kerpulnk had a good punk sound and i prefer them over anything they made after dookie for sure.

    have a good one.

  • American Idiot wasn't too much more political than their other albums. Alot of their previous songs were political as well, Minority, Warning, etc.

  • My Fave album! LOL! One of my fave songs too! ;D

  • who is this girl sitting with Letterman??!

  • Demi Moore

  • wow letterman is so young ive always known him as the old gray haired guy

    greenday rocks

    dave lettermans a fan!!!

  • i want that drum set!

  • How'd you end up on this video if you hate his voice? lol

  • i like there older stuff more

    still one fucking amazing band tho

  • 86 means to get out or get kicked out

    and hes telling someone not to come around

  • ther's no return from 86

    Good song!!!

    A franch fan!

  • songs were famous members only armsrtong is famouse....  equals to nothing. FUck You

  • Um... are you stoned?

  • thats back when mike still had his g-3! haha i read that their drummer broke it tryin to swing it around his shoulder xD

  • Back in 1995!

    I love the green drums

  • lots of energy

  • ...and then they sold out. i miss this stuff.

  • They Didn't sell out, they just grew up. But I havn't grown up yet so I still like their old stuff better...

  • it's things like these that make me wet my pants<3

  • Insomniac :D

  • Insomniac

  • this is so fucking good. green day at there best

  • I like Mike's G3, any1 know where I can get one (in the London, England area)?

  • whats the name of this song... i want it

  • its 86

  • i think frankinstien and floyd are the coolest

  • What's frankinstein, is it one of Billie's guitars?

  • yea

  • anybody know what kind of guitar billy is playing exactly? fender strat?

  • Bille Joe is trippin on something lol you can see it.

  • i love how billie hardly strums with his wrist and plays with his shoulder!!! FUCK it looks awesome!!

    and tre always looks good playing the drums!! HOW???!!!!?

    green day for life!

  • I also like that shirtless chick in the beggining, just sitting there. Nice.

  • jesus look how big tre cools rack tom is. That thing must be like 16 inches!

  • you can pretty much see how they got where they are. I just cant believe how good this video is. My God, Im never getting sick of these guys, even through my metalcore phase.

  • Insomniac, great record!! They were so young in this performance! yaay go Green Day!!

  • how is bj not so tired after playin... he basically attackes his guitar every song... plays from his shoulder- so cool

  • Awesome! By now I think that green day has played on letterman like 200 times.

  • Kinda ironic cuz this song is about how, now that their so big, they will never be able to return to the Berkely scene like they did before they got huge.

  • Wow, thats the best I've ever seen Tré play

  • Go tre Cool

  • go mike dirnt!

  • Dude, My first concert was insomniac tour when I was 15 in late 1995. It was sick. The band had so much energy and was it was soooo loud. There was moshing twenty minutes before the opening band came out.

    The energy in the punk/alternative scene in the 90's was nuts. Concerts today are nothing like the were 13-14 years ago.

  • so true.

  • hahaha i can't tell if billie's on speed or if he's just being his regular twitchy self

  • Watch any of the Jaded in Chicago 1994 performances. Particularly the Longview and She performances. He's definitely on speed then, compared to those he definitely isn't in this.

  • god billie looks good on that tuxedo thing or whatever

  • awesome sound

  • some boys that met green day just on american idiot should not watch to this video and ask stupid questions...

  • Some people should learn to speak English before posting on the internet.

  • guess i found a "american idiot" kid =]

  • internet is not for english or american people only, everyone can say what they think... think before u say stuff like that.. just wanted to tell u...

  • Because of...?

  • no its 86.

  • this is armatage shanks

  • ideot

  • what is the name of the song?¿

  • I think is Tre

  • BLINK 182 and GREEN DAY forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    MARK and BILLIE forever!!!!!!!!!!!

    MCR never can be so big band like this two!!!!

  • yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • minted ecspesialy tre at beggining

  • this song is about how popular they got and how ppl in gilman street called them "sell outs" for goin mainstream

  • believe it or not, billie joe said in an interview that this is about one night stands

  • hi pokokok[pkp[

  • AMAZING video !

    hey what's the meaning of this song btw ?

  • They used to be SO good... :(

    thanks for this video.. keeps the memory of the good days alive.

  • tré is in my opinion the best punk rock drummer in the world! i mean look at it! and i will stab everyone with a steak knife who ever sais travis barker is better !^^

  • Unlike most bands, thier bass lines are accually good.

    plus their awesome live.

  • I just fell in love all over again lol

  • wow... it brought me back to '96... i'd love to have a new green day album just like insomniac... thanks for the vid!

    cheers!

  • way better then mcr

  • no,,, mcr are great..... only the Way brothers are not... Bob is cool.. the two guitarist are cool. especially frank... green day are not so famous.....

  • ha, you're a dumbass, Green Day are one of the most famous bands in the world, MCR suck, so you can go shove a potato peeler in your arse

  • you must be mentally retarded, Green Day is twice as Famouse as MCR, theyve also been around a hell of alot longer

  • hahaha he's probably on an amphetamine insomniac was when they started doing speed or at least billy that i know of...i hope not tre...guys got too much energy as it is he doesnt need speed lol green day kicks ass

  • 1st. It's BILLIE

    2. Insomniac is around the time the all STOPPED taking speed because they decided to kinda of clean up their act because they were having children at the time.

    but anyway, amazing preformance as usual :D

  • i love this song!

  • what is title of this song?

  • 86.. I'ts also in "About this Video..."

  • this is called 86 its there Insomniac album

  • true, but i love the gd sound with only three instruments and vocal. it was simple and better. i lost interest in this band when warnimg came out. BUT they were my fav band up to nimrod. bought lots of their shirts, posters, rare live vhs, went to their shows from like 95', and even have mike dirnt's autograph.

  • diossssssss mui buena

  • Oh goodness.

    Tre' Cool seriously makes me laugh..

    haha.

    ilovegreenday♥

  • they´re awesome!!!!zarpadisimoss!!

  • ZARPAADOO!!!

  • YES! back when they were a trio!

  • they've always been a trio! xD

  • how called is this song?

  • song is called 86

  • Green Day its like an unstopeable Truck that runs over you

  • lol, amen brother.

  • Could you put the words up please I love it put don't know much of what there saying

  • holy shit billie can strum fast

  • i like american idiot listen its not that bad

  • 86 is about green day being kicked out of 924 gilman

  • I heard they were on the road summer of '94 and they heard a radio DJ say the had sold 8.6 Million copies of Dookie. When they started the tour in January '94 they were nobodies (except in the Berkley scene).

  • what green day became since the last album is really sad.. a mellow chicks band.. if you think they're still play rock, then you don't know what is rock'n'roll about

  • im pretty sure the song is about when green day was young back in the year 89' 88' before they were signed to a major record label......they used to play at 924 gilman street and when green day signed to a major record label 1993 for their album dookie gilman kicked them out or some shit like that and i think hes talking about how theres no return from 86 and by that i think he means his past experiences with gilman

  • this song is aboput them not being let into a club, however i dont know the relevance of 86

  • 86 means ur kicked out of something

    green day was kicked out of

    924 gilman street

  • its about billie joe being rejected when he returned to his hometown because he was a sell out. but of course when your around for 18 years playin at woodstock and reading you will be big

  • david looks... different

  • ithought it ws about theyear 1986 i think im not compltely sure

    topsong though

  • Green Days music is as good as ever but since American idiot there style has been all fucked up
