Green Day - Paper Lanterns [Live @ Pinole Valley High School 1990]

[TheShadowOfDoubt1039]

i wish i was a teenager and went to this school when green day did, too bad that can never happen, i really hate the generation i was born into and wish i could have been a teen during the 90's :/

[iCarlitos510]

i go to this school!!!!

[TheKylebusch18fan]

@iCarlitos510 whats it like there

[iCarlitos510]

@TheKylebusch18fan ITS OK BUT NOTHIN SPECIAL ABOUT IT 

[crazeeprediction]

[estebanmotorsitoo]

1:25 this man are famous now

[MajoraMasks66]

Wow, is it just me, (No offence to Modern Billie) but is the old way Billie way better at singing live..?

[JasonDTube]

One of the related videos on the side is them doing Paper Lanterns in 2010. I bet at the time of this performance, they didn't think they'd be performing this very song at an amphitheater 20 years later with hundreds of fans dancing with them on stage.

[AnimeKitte]

I wonder if that girl still like them......kinda doubtful :/

[canadianidiot1039]

time machine! we need a time machine!

[TheyCallMeFranziii]

I bet if the Billie Joe of 1990 would meet the 2011 Billie Joe, he would beat him in the face....and then they would have a drink together

[ohgravity1000]

@MrSigninging sooomoooone cant take a joke

[balutatasin]

Is that Keanu Reeves playing Bass? Pre-Bill and Teds?

[greendaychik31]

Wow...1:00...that girl just turned her back to Billie...I wonder what she would think about that looking back....haha :P

[doggiraffepig]

haha sukers my mom was in school with them



[lollerskates101LOL]

@doggiraffepig Congratulations? sucks you couldn't have been there

[daman01100]

[HopefullyForgotten]

@daman01100 no actually not, it broke down at woodstock 1994

[daman01100]

@HopefullyForgotten no it didnt trust me i know

[ThePeeksBand]

@HopefullyForgotten really? it was beyond repair after the mud?

[HopefullyForgotten]

@ThePeeksBand yeah i heard so, he made some replicas afterwards

[rageloveHML]

@daman01100 actually, no, most of those are replicas of blue. tre cool has been to way more concerts :)

killjoy out.

[Brigister]

@daman01100 not really, because (I don't know when) he broke that guitar so since then he used a replica or other random guitars

[SetupX100]

Green day sucks, listen to some real music

[liveandletrock864]

@SetupX100 aww how cute. do u need me to make up for the attention you didnt get as a child?

[MultiKippy]

@SetupX100 yea, now they do. but they sure as hell didn't.

[ausername182]

@SetupX100 Its just a pity no one gives a fuck about your opinion. Theres a reason theyre one of the biggest bands in the world. Whos your favourite band?

[MrLund96]

@SetupX100 If they suck then why the fuck are you on here commenting?

[cain5632]

@SetupX100 YOU SUCK!!! FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!!GO TO HELL!!!

GREEN DAY IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AkatsukiArts]

look at mike making an audience roar sound with his hands, i bet he would have never of guessed he would actually end up with a real crowd roar

[fredsassy5]

@Greenday48078 yes go on wikipedia if you want to be sure.

[fredsassy5]

@Greenday48078 hes a music producer now and coaches baseball i search it.

[NHLuongo]

i heard he owns a b ike repair shop...

[2TrueWarrior]

mike in this video looks like my neighbour down my street

[Brigister]

@Greenday48078 yeah pretty much, plus now he works in a crappy restaurant or something like that, so his studies were useless

[Brigister]

@Greenday48078 he left to keep studying and graduate at university

[FlamingTrumpets]

nevermind, 1:25

[FlamingTrumpets]

the dude at 1:26...

[MrDabomba13]

wow i just realises kiffmyer was left handed

[CriticsConfession]

@MrDabomba13 No, he just plays open handed.

[MrDabomba13]

@CriticsConfession so that is what its called when you use your left hand as your rythm hand. (im a guitarist so i wouldent know.)

[CriticsConfession]

@MrDabomba13 No, that's called playing left handed...

[MrDabomba13]

@CriticsConfession well hes playing left handed.

[elflando]

0:58. "Oh my gawd. It's so loud!"

[RubberNinjaPwn]

2 dislikes are from the 2 morons who walked away. the other was made by kiffmyer

[rodri77farias]

quien se hubiese imaginado de los que estan ahi en ese momento que green day hiba a ser lo que es ahora?jajaja,aguante green day loco!!!!l

[koyfishie9]

I graduated in '10 from PV and we used the same 20 year old sound system they used. Kinda sad.

[KAZkraze]

Were they still in highschool? Or were they just playing at a highschool?

[paulbrilliance]

Yeah!! Who the fuck could dislike this.........it should give hope to anyone wanting to make it in entertainment.............ever­yone knows that their heroes come from nowhere...........but it is rare when you can see it................and Green Day was good even then.............they were tight as hell............so fuck off you dislikes!!!!

[STEMOSbruder]

wait: pinole high school was the high school from tom delonge from blink, am i right?

[Confuzzledism]

@STEMOSbruder He went to two different High Schools. He first attended Poway High School, but was expelled for drinking at a school basketball game. He then went to Rancho Bernardo High School, before returning to Poway High School in senior year.

In senior year at Poway High School, at the prom, Tom was elected Prom King by his friends to annoy the school administrators who didn't like him.

[rhn94]

@Confuzzledism who the fuck is tom??

[Confuzzledism]

@rhn94 Tom Delonge from Blink-182. A guy was asking if he went to the same high school as Billie and Mike and I was simply answering. No need to say that.

[HarryGrin95]

WHY WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS?!?!

[UltimateGuy14]

@HarryGrin95

Because he dont likes this video ^^

[SuperCelebHunter]

@HarryGrin95 Cause they would rather listen to Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black

[webshow19]

One of the person that disliked this video is Kiffmyer.

[GN0MEz]

is this will THEY were in high school?

[NickTimandDylan]

@GN0MEz at this point Mike had graduated and Billie Joe had dropped out

[michellemolloy]

Pinole's my hometown, y'all!

You can almost throw a rock from one end of the city to the other....the high school where this was shot is right on the main drag. Nice little upper middle class city Pinole, but still entirely too close to the ravaged urban wastelands of Richmond and Oakland. it's nice to see kids like Green Day make a go of it and get up out of there... Stll...the Bay Area represents!

[tone23x]

[deylinnTV]

Tre owns Kiffmyers! :D

[Kimbrokk]

Kiffmeyers not bad... Tre is just a god.

[ducksfamily]

My Mom went to this school!

[YouGotRobd]

I'd like to go back in time to 1990 and play 21st Century Breakdown to them, just to see what they would think of it.

[Alemirex]

@YouGotRobd I did do that...and they stoled it from me :P

[TheBeatles639]

@YouGotRobd not to be mean or a downer but if you did it would be the 20th century and you would be singing 21st century breakdown

[Brigister]

@YouGotRobd They would say: "What's this bullshit? We would never play crap like this!"

[WonderfulMermaid]

@YouGotRobd that's creepy. exactly my thought too! :O

[aaallllllrrright23]

@YouGotRobd theyd be like fuck tht.. were punk................. not anymore unfortunately

[greendaychik31]

@YouGotRobd I bet they would hate it. :P (not that I do I love it!)

[greendaychik31]

@aaallllllrrright23 Hate to break it to you, but Punk's an attitude not a genre of music.

[AdamBSA]

Kiffmeyers total shit, Tre is god

[StrangerRandom]

i like 90s style... backwards caps and a lot of denim.

[killer56717]

how could people in the background just walk away and not mosh?

[groszek647]

1:18 - WTF? how those 2 idiot can go away from playing green day????!?!?!

[Richiethebarber1]

I was there...

[potatoluva14100]

@Richiethebarber1 seriously!??

[onlyklaux]

Mike is so fucking cute *-*

[onlyklaux]

TRE dislike this xD

[onlyklaux]

whoever tapped this :

THANK YOU SO MUCH! =)

[WeKiledTheBassPlayer]

1 dislike is tre cool

[MrHatenoobs]

MIKE HAS A NICE PEAVEY PATRIOT!!! 

[PUNKROCKLIFE1]

i love how noone really were there, and they playede like there would be million of people :D

[HeyBEatle123]

other than the hair....MIKE IS STILL EXACTLY THE SAME. THE WAY HE MOVES. HE HAS NOT CHANGED. And BJ is such a little...well....punk! hahahah I love him.

[RickyIsTheCooliest]

Mike....

[Wingchunskunk]

[Unknown7637]

[billy959]

[smoothistkid12]

this song is so 70,s punk rock !

[RubberNinjaPwn]

1:20 i ought to smack those guys for walking away from this. Those idiots don't know how lucky they are!

[jewishmilkman]

PFFFT! I could do that...

[koyfishie9]

I went to PVHS and nobody ever talked about Green Day there Lol.

[Jonnyplatt94]

the three leaning on the wall have real taste unlike those motherfuckers walking by

[OldGreenDayFTW]

that girl in front is in love with Billie Joe? ;)

[yuckysword]

It's funny how at the end Mike is making those fake crowd noises. It's like he's thinking "fuck you guys, we're gonna be famous one day. you'll see" and look what happened. Awesome!

[smoothistkid12]

the solos awsome

[Soxicmusic]

Kiffmeyer has so much more rock n roll pondus than tre. This guy feels more genuin.

[nathanswierd2]

the people that got green days autographs frm the early 90's should be lucky because thats wen green day started and they were not very much famous. now look at all the people trying 2 meet green day now.

[ashkonnicholas]

I bet the biggest mistake of kiffmyers life was leaving green day lol

[keithowalshe2010]

@ashkonnicholas It was probably best for Green Day that he left because he wasn't really that good, compared to Tre

[TheJial1796]

@ashkonnicholas I'd take Tre over John ANYDAY :D

[MG21749]

@ashkonnicholas i know he's probably kicking himself in the balls for that! hahaa, i read in my green day book that when tre joined they were supposed to be playing a show and kiffmyer showed up, but tre was supposed to be playing, so kiffmyer basically kicked tre out and kiffmyer played that show :/ that's why i don't like him too much :D

[breakingfame]

i love this drummers set

[breakingfame]

i didnt no tht this song is tht old

[mattyhodg1]

"That had you on my mooooind" lol

[supercalebdudeman]

kifmier (or whatevar) can play, but not as good as tre

[catsakumich]

Mike!! 1:36 HELL'S YEAH!!

[cokezzzftw]

Fark... Who ever recorded this... MARRY ME?!

[slipkornalica]

[ljc9509]

@slipkornalica You mean drums. :P

[TheZachism]

@slipkornalica

Tre plays the drums idiot.

[melonhead8397]

[513punkrock]

[GreenDay4everz]

and look at them now!

how much they've grown :')

[ljc9509]

This is one of my favourite Green Day songs of all time. I have no idea why these people are walking away and why they weren't big back then. OLD GREEN DAY!!

[Olmec1995]

All those people are just walking by and not paying attention. They had a huge opportunity to see GREEN DAY and blew it.

[rejectminority]

Credit goes to the one who recorded this!!! Thank you!!!

[TheScreamOfFear]

1:25 HEY DICK, GET OUT OF THE WAY!!

[Astrixs2]

Bet all the people walking by them in the backround regret it to this day lmao

[ggzinha22]

I wonder if they ever dreamed they would become one of the biggest band sin the world...

[Astrixs2]

@ggzinha22 haha ikr!

[UnIdiotaQualunque]

There were FOUR people, FOUR!! ç___ç I would pay for be there ♥

[TheRhesusMonkey]

just awesome! 4 people and they're rocking like there's a crowd of 30,000

[ImNoJadedImsoniac]

@TheRhesusMonkey theres more than 4 ppl. you know its not a ghost holding the camera

[TheRhesusMonkey]

@ImNoJadedImsoniac okay... they rock, thats what i wanted to say ;)

[ImNoJadedImsoniac]

@TheRhesusMonkey i know xD. they still try as hard as they can to entertain ppl.

[Junkpunker21]

@TheRhesusMonkey

See one of the Going to Pasalacqua vids in Pinole Valley High School in the same show where the camera man is right behind them and then after the song he goes down to fill the stage in the position you see in most of these videos like this one. While he is behind him, John keeps dropping his sticks it's hilarious.

Anyways, yeah, being behind them, you can see in that video that there are much more people passing by and watching in the distance. It's the school square.

[lehewych123]

omg if i was their i would be so danm lucky and tell them about their future lol

[MacintoshHacker]

If only I could have told them back then what they would do. . .

Thanks so fucking much to the poster, amazing song

[beatlesgirl996]

wow... so this is where it all began, and now they're one of the biggest bands in the world!!!

[MsJackanape]

4 years... JUST 4 YEARS and theyre playing this at woodstock, can you believe it?!?!?

[S888J]

@MsJackanape Amazing

[CLIMarcuz]

people would kill to be there this days.

[achristinew3192]

@CLIMarcuz i went to that highschool i just graduated. haha everyone still talks about it. 

[leslie5590]

haha , wow ......not alot people payed attention :O , but theyre were lucky...

[shiquegeek]

dang i wish i was there!!!!I would be rocking out!!not like those gay losers that are there!!!am i right

[TheLot225]

What bass does mike have? I love it!!!

[REDHOTCHlLlPEPPERS]

wow,4 people at the start, 1 at the end

[ButterworthAve]

@REDHOTCHlLlPEPPERS  thats the sign of a great band

[tangledbrett]

This is why Green Day is the band they are today. They paid their dues, playing crappy gigs and tiny clubs. Not like that manufactured Disney pop shit that will be here today and gone tomorrow.

[xXbhenzXx]

@mcrobsesser003 they dont know that green day will be got that big, they are idiots

[GamerLifeTV]

Little did the people paying no attention know they'd become a national icon.

[atticus2u]

the solo was so bad lol

[rockdudeguy18]

Haha they're so into it, with only like 4 people listening. I love them lol

[xXDeadDarknessXx]

@rockdudeguy18 There whole school is actually behind those 4 guys aha

[keavenm69]

Grew up in Pinole, went to Pinole Valley High with these guys and remember this day. Nobody really took them serious back then...look at em now

[takemetotexas]

@mcrobsesser003 they didn't know they'd be the biggest band in rock history in 20 years. I bet they regret it now!

[takemetotexas]

Mike's hair when he's head banging omg hahaha

[182bha]

even then, long before they were even close to fame, you can just tell that this is a band that has great potential to be famous. I have no idea where all the fucking people are, but I would be there watching the whole goddamn thing.

[bobsagetbillgates]

At least mike didn't get tackled after playing this here xD

[BeastOrFail12]

lol 30 people in attendance then... around 50000 now! :P or at least at when they played at milton keynes :)

[philliesphan97]

Mud Fight!!!!

[Aaxofill]

@mcrobsesser003 Today they're probably like "shit we just walked away from one of the biggest bands ever"

[akecleon1]

There's another video of the same concert with better quality and a different camera angle. There's was actually more than 4 people watching, they were just sitting far away with a group of like 30ish standing next to this camera guy who filmed this video. Anyway the guy who walked away in this video ave billie something to drink before he sang 1000 hours.

[Pasalaqcua]

@akecleon1 I know, But I can't find the video anywhere

[thatcobainchick]

This is unbelievable.
