this is so damn amazing..i wonder how many ppl where in that audience..could u imagine that many people screaming your words back at you...i fucking love it
well i wouldn't call it Sellout junk, 21 century maybe but american idiot no. It has some classic songs. But yes, the old green day was better than the new one
@AVIATIO i disagree, as a young kid in like secondary school when american idiot came out it was like the most important and influential album of the time its the reason i and many others like me are into music so i wouldnt be so quick to slag it off.
@AVIATIO I Love it how as soon as Green Day started a message to their music people started claiming they 'Sold Out' because they weren't singing about pot and sex.
American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown are actually socially relevant albums. Because it doesn't conform to your punk purist attitude is no reason to hate on them. Punk is still alive and well thanks to Green Day.
hahaha Billie Joe for some reason at almost every concert makes out with a random guy from the crowd so my guess is that the shirtless guy at the start was the lucky bastard from that concert xD
yes, i mean actually make out. Write on youtube Billie Joe making out with a guy and it will show u some videos for sure. But ive seen a lot of GD concerts and in every one of them he kisses a guy. Except on Bullet in a Bible where for other reasons he didnt do it
@kospeeddemon, i know that myself as a musician, but i also manage to play basket case while singing myself, and i don't think it should be too difficult for BJ to manage.
@mardarinoob, you make no sense, but if norris approves, it must be ok.
Well I was actually part of the punk scene in 1984 until 1989 and although there were punk bands around and gigs too, if you were a punk around that time you got a lot of stick from none punks. and punks were a very small minority back then.
hahaha, i weren't around until the early 90's but my dad was a "Hard core punker" back then and he told me how everything went in that period. There was plenty of punk for whoever wanted it
i wouldn't say emo, but they're definetly not punk anymore. Now they're some sort of pop-rock or pop-punk or something. Still it's good music but not nearly as good as the music you hear in this video :))
American Idiot is a song done in the age of commercial bands and Green Day are a bit cought in the commercialism. I adore Green Day and i think American Idiot is a masterpiece but it's nowhere near Bascet case. Back when this song was made the number of commercialised bands was at minimum and that was a time when Punk and Rock were PUnk and Rock not now when u cant spot the fakers because of the commercialisation. But Green Day are no fakers by any means
fuck ur "old green day" and "new green day" green day is always green day!

i think that the lyrics of the newer green day are more relevant to us now, but the music of the old green day is so much better
