Green Day -Leno 1996

[weakweek85]

worst snare sound ever. still a great performance though

[Lbisradd]

terrible...

[Bossness123]

@Lbisradd Don't listen to it then, idiot.

[Bossness123]

@Lbisradd no

[TNTIV]

Leno go shave your head

[greendayalex21]

You don't seem excited........ Dick

[alexoconnor5]

They were so pissed that night they destroyed leno's green room , put a picture of Jennifer aniston on the bass drum they were pissed cause she was suppost to be a guest on the show that night but cancelled The reason Green Day was so pissed off is because they were gonna have Jennifer say that she was in There music video "Welcome to Paradise" (because she was) so that they would get more popular.  note: Jennifer is at 0:51 , 2:13 and 3:01 of "Welcome To Paradise"

[ncisforever15]

@alexoconnor5 r u sure??

[circlejerks450]

@alexoconnor5 that seems strange, why would they be worried about becoming more popular after they had already sold 15 million records?

[MegaCrashXD]

Here Mike starts to look more like what he is today,he's starting the evolution!

[MrFishy31]

brain stew is a weird song choice

[fuckamericanidiot]

@MrFishy31 single

[Ataraxis44]

fuck censorship



[slipkornalica]

96- when i was born!!



[QymLym]

drums sound electronic!

[SdSkiLlZ]

they should've gone right into jaded !! that would be unreal

[aaa567ify]

They sound good here. I think this single is probably more alive in concert. I like it on there cd. But they still sounded great although the snare drum sounded funky for some reason. Green Day kicks ass!!

[k123332]

leno had to come in and fuck up the song

[geezyoursoft]

i read in a article or something...that they full on trashed the dressing rooms..and jenifer aniston cracked the shits big time!! (hence the pic on the drum kit)....producers said they were banned for life on the leno show...but when 'warning' came out leno insisted he wanted them back on the show to peform.......little bit of trivia for ya!! :)

[redev420]

i always hear ths song before i go to sleep >.<



[admiralflynn895]

also what song is this?

[geezyoursoft]

@admiralflynn895 fuckin joking arnt you??...song is brainstew....y dont you know this?? geez!

[admiralflynn895]

@geezyoursoft dude, you may like know the song by heart, but i like some of their songs better than their older ones

[admiralflynn895]

is billie naturally blonde or black-haired? i'm confused

[BJAluver4ever]

@admiralflynn895 He's naturally black haired.

[mikeanbamgay]

@admiralflynn895 He's actually naturally reddish brown. He dyes his hair black a lot

[anoymoose]

@admiralflynn895 a medium brown actually :P

[AbieeOfSuburbia]

Un poquito atrasado el sonido.. Fuck >.< desearía haber vivido esas épocas! Estoy convencida de que no pertenezco a esta generación, no con los wachiturros al menos DD:

[doogdoogdoog]

The snares are definitely on, sounds just like the under-snare mic has been cranked up and gated to a ridiculous level.

[HappilyWithMonotony]

I have to say...I have never seen or heard of this performance. This is cool.

[HappilyWithMonotony]

Maybe the snares were disconnected for this performance because they thought it'd be a heavier sound? Metallica did the same with St. Anger and look how that turned out.

The guitar is top though. Nice thick tone.

[Skaternick911]

I would rather hear this than that new green day shit.

[jayandthebongman]

@Skaternick911 hey hey hey... we all want green day to make a new album with there vintage sound but saying there new stuff is crap would be like you slapping billie across the face the new stuff may not be what were use too but you got to understand that next album is gonna kickass cause there old style is back saw them live last year (because its 2012 damn new years) they fucking rocked it

[JudasPriest82]

@jayandthebongman Did you see that fucking secret concert bullshit that had like 12 new songs played or some shit cuz if not shut up

[mrandytherockstar]

@Skaternick911 shut up ass hole, there is no new green or old green day, there is just green day, and u need to understand that they need to evolve, they arent teens any more, they cant keep writing music about drugs and being young because now they arent. They are adults now.

[donnieblanko]

@mrandytherockstar Green Day had a better sound, and had better songs in the 90's then they do now. I am sure most of, if not all of the punk rock, pop punk, and alternative rock worlds would agree. Obviously they have to evolve, but their music is not as good.

[1997Nimrod]

if only they went into jaded

[1997Nimrod]

ah shoulda played stuart and the ave :P

[bigman10146]

BILLIE JOE IS A HEAVY POT SMOKER YOU CAN TELL IN THIS VIDEO

[dmendiola99]

@bigman10146 or in all of his music

[TheFourStringBassist]

@bigman10146 well man i dont do drugs but i can safely say that without them we wouldnt have green day so be thankfull

[ShadowBlazeHixy]

@bigman10146 this song was written while trying to get Joey to sleep(as a baby of course) but yeah listen to geek stink breath for truly drug inspired songs or better yet Green Day off 1,039/smoothed out slappy hours

[dopplerdoesnotlikeu]

in 1996 Larry was frozen in ice out in Colorado. 3 years later he was found by two boys Stan and Kyle...... I miss old green day =^(

[DRIV3R24]

they really should play jaded live, not just brain stew. the way they play live, mike could strum in some bass in transition between brain stew and jaded. that would sound pretty sick :D

[deivii666]

1:44 the photo in the drum lol

[ExpTube1969]

@deivii666 Looks like Jeniffer Aniston.. or something... xD

[doglover2711]

Oh my Gosh they look so freakin' young :0

[typeanoise]

Waaaay to much compression on the snare and on the guitar.

[BOOMDIGIDYable]

The snare makes me cringe..

[ddoneal123]

Pock Runk

[trecoolmania]

fuck that snare sounds horrible

[hbunnyo]

@trecoolmania moongels moongels moongels!

[johnboyc5]

@hbunnyo lol just bought my third pack couple days ago

[xPo1S0nXs0DaX]

I hate when they put a mic right next to the drums cause it always makes this wierd sound

[BOYERxBREAKD0WN]

@xPo1S0nXs0DaX You kinda have to so it can be heard on TV. And drums are normally mic'd regardless.

[1994evol]

Didn't they trash Leno's green room before this?

[geezyoursoft]

@1994evol yeah big time!!....jenifer aniston had the shits...hence the pic on the drum kit! :)

[1994evol]

Damn! Look at Leno! He looks different!

[YaroslavtheAwesome]

Leno needs to beg Green Day to perform again. Then he will become popular once again.

[MIfireless]

omg argyle sweater. Why is that so perfectly contradictory, and hot? Heheh

This was great. No jaded tho? :(

[brackman64]

wtf whats up with that snare!

[rockntunes]

@brackman64 LOL thats horrible mic-ing on the sound guys part i guess

[shelloz09]

"somebody keep my balance I think I'm falling off into a state of regression..." oops jaded my bad

[GoNorway4Ever]

@XCityDwellerX thumbwhore.

[XCityDwellerX]

Thumbs Up for no dislikes :)

[TheYoungAndCrazy]

1996 green day rocked and leno had fantastic hair

[3cs101]

why do they cut him out when he's twitching its epiicccc!!

[trevrocks62]

@Assasin1990x yeah I noticed that too

[DidYourMomOSaurus]

no jaded? why is that such an underrated song? GAH

[jaf1856]

this is one of their more annoying songs :/ but i still love green day

[MrSocialish]

@jaf1856 agreed

[Waterhad]

Lol, there's Jennifer Aniston's photo on the bass drum

[psychoticsquidface]

@Waterhad XD

[Blauritis]

@Waterhad hah i'll put a photo of Megan Fox on my bass! :D

[Assassin1990x]

Does Tre even realize that his Snare sounds like shit?

[Briannalovesmusic1]

the snare is really bad..

[Briannalovesmusic1]

wish i was born before this! haha im only 13:(

[TheYoungAndCrazy]

snare drum is horrible but green day rocks

[FallingWorthMusic]

His sweater kicks ass

[bigtreatz]

The snare sounds like a group of people clapping.

[EAW56]

@bigtreatz Hahahahahaha! It sounds horrible! xDD

[shelloz09]

wish they would've done Jaded too!!! love this <3

[wanderer1031]

you mother fuckers just don't know a god damn thing about good snare rattling poppy sock sound mastering. every other snare you ever heard is wrong, this is operfection in a sea shell,

[VideosbySteve]

that snare sound, omg i know its terrible but it reminds me of the crappy drum processor i used to have about 15 years ago. INSTA-RAP!!! 

[NLCovers]

Jay Leno at the end: Green Day!

well 1/3 of them

[gr33ndayTL33]

Its actually the video editing. They mustve made the mistake on the snare. The reason I can tell the video has been edited is because the guitars have been overdubbed.

[jastiksk8crw]

RIP billie joel

[Fiakosorio]

The volume of microphone on the snare, it´s so loud and upper, then looks like a rap song

[LucasBGO]

before this they fuck up the jay leno cammarin

[LucasBGO]

Billie joe look like kurt Cobain with this cothes

[stayawakenz]

Fucking hell that is the greatest guitar tone ever..

[SGKlD]

This doesnt sound live,

[rakugakicho]

Best performance of this song!

[darkcjdm]

why the fuck cant it be 1996 anymore?

[dustin69798]

@darkcjdm I couldnt agree with you more my friend :D

[catkat98]

@darkcjdm ask god

[culer89]

@shahak98  really?....brain stew

[jrd615]

@shahak98 Brain Stew

[eastcoastsalads]

dubstep snare. just need some bass wobbles. and mike looks jim carrey in this video.

[lazrpo]

What the hell... It's like the sound guy thought they were supposed to sound like Slipknot or something...

[Gunsinpublic]

that snare sounds like its a dog and tre is hitting as hard as he casn

[Shenanigans07]

Billies face at 00:40... he'a not amused by the teenie girl screaming xD "scream again, bitch. And see what happens" she stops. Bam.

[shelloz09]

god I love Billie's voice

[greenday10fan]

havent seen this!!!!!!

[drummerchick24]

Billie's face at like 0:44 is extremely creepy and awesome XD

[thisisAB]

LOL leno's weave

[sirnocolov1]

B.J's psychopath face is the best!

[Daxtrina]

why do they always look high?

[pulversilva101]

@Daxtrina you're REALLY stupid

[pleasantnightmare21]

@Daxtrina cuz they are

[KeysToTheCanteen01]

This would have sounded just like the original if it wasnt for the snare ... Theyre Brilliant live!!!

[tyrushing16]

they put so much more passion in their music now than they did then. compare this to their 2004 appearance on letterman, or their 2009 world stage appearance with basket case. so much more passion!!

[GDjesusOfsuburbia]

@tyrushing16 no i dont think that they have still the passion but they are nowdays more relaxed and confident

[KindomOfHappiness]

@tyrushing16 probably the drugs :P

[TheJayman213]

they were so much cooler before they toured with additional musicians and started wearing guyliner and black/red. Woodstock '94 THAT was a great gig, not Tokyo '11.

[JPPraterCO08]

@TheJayman213 totally.

[potatosalad711]

something's wrong with the snare mic

[MsGreendayfan12]

thats a great sweater hes wearing :0



[WillowRose26]

Just about any band that goes on Leno sounds shitty to me. Not that the band itself is, just the sound. You don't hear that on Letterman. ;)

[Johnrapp]

PROBABLY JAY LENO'S SHITTY SOUND EQUIPMENT. BANDS ALWAYS SOUND LIKE GARBAGE ON THESE TV SHOWS. GREEN DAY DOES ROCKS XD

[jayandthebongman]

i always woundered what bllie joe would look like in a work sweater???? still fuckken hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Whenicomaroundiscool]

mike dirnts arms FTW!!

[MrSpacebird413]

havent seen this video yet! thanks!

[biggestSDlover]

was Billie trying to dress up for the show? lol nice shirt xD

[Brigister]

gotta love Billie's sweater xD

[sgodd23]

I love the picture of Aniston pasted to the bass drum

[beastdude12]

Billie Joe: Hey Mom i'm gonna be on the jay Leno show

Mom: Where a sweater vest

Billie Joe: Okay Mom

sweater vest FTW love Green Day

[jcbaroin1]

1:28 yeah, Mike does a handjob to the bass...

[Junkpunker21]

Wtf's with the snare sound? Something with the video perhaps? XD Green Day rocks!

[GregoRoyClark]

@Junkpunker21 maybe they're just trying to give the drums some character to match the song?

(not saying Tre doesn't have character, cuz he's a fuckin goof. But I think you know what I mean)

[johnhill96]

@Junkpunker21 @mwelliott123 i think the boom is to far away and the reverb is ecoing =D fuck i'm such a nerd

[mwelliott123]

THe snare drum sounds awful

[TheTylerKauffmanShow]

@mwelliott123 wow im not even a drumer im a guitar dude and your right thats brutal. im guess its jay lenos drum set and not theres cause tat would never happen

[Element4078]

@mwelliott123  inknow

[skatertumen]

@mwelliott123 no fucking way huh. You fuck you by me fucking shit fuck.

[Guercinator]

@mwelliott123 it almost sounds like they're in a really crappy recording studio :P

[XxEmilyLovesBenjXx]

Ahh i can't stop watching this video. I looove Billie's voice in this video. :)

[gdfobmcrsum41]

@XxEmilyLovesBenjXx and no ear pieces like 99% of other people wear during their performances!

[Ty13rlikespie]

uh smart one the songs clled brain stew and its about insomnia

[GeekStinkBreath737]

@Ty13rlikespie its also about how it feels on meth

[HytechJarsh]

@Ty13rlikespie He said the album's called Insomniac, Derp.
