thanks so much soldamerican for record green day at that time. i see you did know that this band would be one of the greates in the world as we see it today . thank you thank you !!!!
If you look closely, john is switching to heavier sticks. One on that bass drum and one in the bag. And he doesn't drop them . he actually throws them in the air. hahaha :D
@joetubealong In the description it says May 10th, 1990.. And it was at their high school. Ignore @oasisfanmatt he's being a dick. It doesn't say when in the title.
Hey thank you for uploading these videos, but I have a question, you said you recorded these videos, so, do you know billie, mike and john? does billie or mike remember you?
@jaded822 its a open handed style and hes left handed (therefore hitting the hit hat with his left hand takes priority over his right.), its probably bad enough that he aint playing on a left handed drum kit :)
@culer89 what???he was a really good drummer!, have you ever listen to the drums of the song"Green Day" not even trecol could create such an amazing master piece!
@zachy7777 I agree, I'm a drummer and Tre is my favourite drummer, for two reasons. He is hilarious, and Green Day's songs are fun to play. But to be honest, Tre is a "support" drummer. His beats aren't technical nor creative. But some songs on Dookie were great, really good. And Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming are his best songs ever on drums. That is my opinion.
yo hubiera querido estar ahi!!!!!!!!!!! seria lo maximo amo a green day!!! genial ese concierto aunque simple, es fantastico pero con tre seria mucho mejor
noo boludo te zarpaste mui grosooo (: ...jee sabes causa mucha gracia pork parecen una banditaa mas... (obio en ese tiempo lo eran),, ahora la rompenn,, je y pensar k algunas personas k stabn por ahi en ese reci ni bola le daban,, me pregunto k diran esas personas en stos momentos de Green Day (:, Aguante the old Green Day :D
John had a very particular way to play drums he didnt croos his arms as most of drummers do and also the crash??? is on the left instead of being on the right
I find it comforting that theirs actually a community of people who KNOW about the "old' Green Day. It's like an exclusive community of non ignorant people. ;D And, this is the clearest footage of this I've ever seen. I only wish I'd been able to be there. Thanks for uploading!
I bet the people who are standing there thinking this band is fucking lame are now saying to their children that awsome band were in my high school and I've seen one of their first gigs and it was awsome!
The original VHS of this performance must be worth like...alot of money...tho i wouldnt sell it...no matter how much money its worth cuz this band and this performance is amazng!
