[samuel588]

Awesome cover

[magiknumber3]

just fabbbuullloouuussss!

[ferretfun86]

i tear up listening to this song

[ddgitz]

Wow -- love this better than the original! Creative cover!

[Darius97B]

Awesome as F**k

[SuperSayin824]

@Darius97B lol

[TheFameFlame]

You show 'em, Glen. Real singing without special effects or lip-synching. So great to see you jamming. All those hits were definitely the times of our lives. Thank you.

[batterymaker]

Almost like that song was made for him and not Green Day. Helluva job.

[fillhixx]

Thank YOU, for letting us all share the ride.

[VioladorDeLaLey21]

Wow! Nice indeed!!

[NorwaysSuburbia]

Holy crap, why did I find this beyond awesome?! Lol its frickin cool ! :D

[Mr309GTi]

Better than Green Day and i like Green Day!

[Janicemaxwell]

Beautiful. LOVE the man. Glen I will always love your songs and your beautiful caring soul. God Bless you. I'm selfish because I don't want to let you go just yet. God Speed my friend.

[KarlMcMAn]

This is awsome

[bootsycollins1]

very nice!



[tomsowell1951]

I'll bet Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day probably loved this cover of their song.

[josevgt]

Nada mal...buena versión country....me encanta el solo...:D

[MacConnUlagh]

Glen is the best ... I think that's his kid playin' lead guitar AND he's playing Glen's blue strat !

:-D

[UrlsGrrl54]

Glen's version brings more depth, more seasoning than GD's imo. He brings his life into the words, which is even more heartfelt now that he's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. God bless you and love you, Glen.

[Randyc2800]

Wow! Glen impressed me!

[TheDawningofourlives]

Not my kind of music, but this is impressive.

[danavfcandy]

if i could sing like anybody it would be like glen at his best this tune is brill

[bezginn83]

i am always impressed when an artist is so open (at this age) to cover young people's music (in this case even punk). Hut ab !

[togalogs]

151 people will never have the time of their lives...

[megluvsclassics]

WOW!!! I believe this captures the true love Glen has always had for life!

[thenudo]

LOVE Glen!! EXCELLENT job ....great cover of a great song! Thanks for posting!

[wungabunga]

Song was meant to be sung by an older man anyway imo.

[powerwindowsrush]

pretty good

[tadroid]

What a lucky guy to be able to share music with his kids.

[flon57]

i love his early stuff so much, he's doing a final tour

[lilaznhermkid]

Voice...is...magical... :D

[bonsaipal]

One of the greatest Country artists of my generation. I wish him the best!

[uvetya]

To Glen and the group... Great Song!! Great Sounds!!... The great looking gal to your right Glen sure looks great also.... hi debby......ed harris

[gallaway68]

Kinda gives this song a whole new perspective.

[Lifeplayer123]

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobvocal]

One of my very favourite artist , a brilliant vocalist in his prime plus a brilliant guitarist ex session musician can still do a song justice as thisclip proves , but very sad to hear he is now suffering from that horrible ailment Alzheimers Disease and announced he will be making a farewell tour god bless you Glen and thanks for all the great music and guitar playing you have given us,

[bezzarguy]

Sweet! Does anyone know who the back-up players are? That was a tasty solo on the Strat...Love ol' Glen, he has Alzheimers now and is doing a farewell tour...A legend

[Reverendjim1]

Nice to see Glen Campbell

[paultip1972]

i grew up in a small village called ardfinnan in tipperary ireland in the early 1970's,

the first song i was able to sing was glen campbells rhinestone cowboy(with my cowboy suit & gun in hand!) happy & simple times they were

[youngy105]

Awesome

[crankyerma]

It's sad that Glen is suffering from Alzheimer's. What's heroic about it is that he knows and is fighting to get one more album out and tour once more before it takes him. I was never much of a fan of his but I can't think of anything that is at once as heartbreaking and truly courageous. God bless him.

[dbzrulesmorgan98]

The best cover of the song I have EVER heard!

[xPeskey]

Thought this would be so worse than Greenday, but it's actually pretty good! :D

[TeamBurton]

Anyone who DOESN'T like this cover needs to be beaten with an aluminum bat

[Wacokid48]

Glen is part of our music history.. even though he didn' get full credit ...from The Beach Bioys to "Shindig"...Glen was the secret sauice !!

[SSGTVDOG]

For a 75 year old gentleman, Glenn Campbell still has his voice and a stage presence. I miss singers from my younger years, that had morals and American values. God Bless Mr. Campbell for showing he still has it!

[smurfu2]

I am a big Green day fan and i think glen does a great job of this classic song.

[waylonward]

Rock, country pop and classic...They are all there with Mr Campbell.Thanks for all the great sounds Glen. Get well, please.

[johnnyslc]

its cool, he makes it his own. legends covering legends, what an honor for both.

[tony29051]

Pure class

[bluevirgo19]

You go Glen!!! He's so good on guitar himself he could out play anyone there!!!!

[02Waltrik02]

1:37, this solo is totally awesome...

[02Waltrik02]

1:36- awesome solo!!!

[tank5081d]

impressive ^5 Glen

[lancetop]

Glen Campbell regognizes a great song when he hears it. Nice to hear him, and his daughter interpret this gem.

[paniclouder]

Fifteen and this version is pretty damn cool

[usmarshallman101]

Glen Campbell as a musician who was fortunate to back you at Harrah's Tahoe I am appreciative of and Love your music. Bring that Tour this direction because they want to see & hear you! God Bless You!

[KaleaInWonderland]

this version ROCKS!

[DannyVeras]

I didn't even know that song wasn't from green day, really surprised! good job, really cool!

[cchallingsworth]

Great version. Lyrics are quite poignant in light of his recent Alzheimers diagnosis.

[misspinkpunkykat]

I actualy like this version better than Greenday's version.

[kateified]

Really enjoy this. Looks like I have to get" Introducing Glen Campbell" Wonder how Green Day would do with Wichita Lineman? LOL

[lasurvivor47]

Now this is TRUE GRIT! Glad to see the old man's still got what it takes...God bless you Glen!

[brilliantFlame]

really.. this is fuckin awesome. i'm glad that musicians older age do covers on songs with deep meaning - just like this one

[SayGreenday]

niiiiiiiiiice

[ttraynor1]

Everybody not fully informed on who has worked with and on and done (I wasn't and I remember GC well from boyhood AM radio) should Wiki him. Awesome career. Some health issues--and his new album is his last. Go to his site. Gem: "The year the Beatles announced 'they were bigger than Jesus', Glen Campbell soid more albums.".

[flhedgehog]

I loved watching the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour as a kid (on the family's black and white TV of course) and I love Green Day's music.  Good job, Mr. Campbell!

[IndieJAthensGR]

Big Up Glen - Givin it true country justice !!!

[TTTrixie]

Glen, you contributed to many of the good times in my life with your music - in backyard BBQs, camping, in Vegas, and the list goes on. GB!

[boxertube7]

wow, I'm in my 40's but remember the old Glen Campbell show, he's still going strong.. very nice to see AOL sponsor American artists who have made a true mark on Music!!

[500mos]

one of our great singers.and still has a great voice.

[charmanderstail]

how could 139 people dislike this?

[yaboymayo1]

great spin on a great song. i love the mandolin and the guitar solo. well done sir

[MsDancingBirds]

Glen Campbell is not only an amazing musician, he is a true hero as he conducts his final tour, openly allowing discussions regarding Alzheimer's disease and his recent diagnosis. He is a brave man who will do a great service toward ending a horrible disease. My very best to him for a long and joyful life!

[johnathon304]

This is a super song, the musicians definitely know what they are doing.

Glen has always been one of my favorites.

[camerooniepooniepoo]

where has music gone these days, it should take a trip back to the who, the beatles, small faces, and this!

[komo182]

VERY beautiful aransemen,,,i like this..

[kevymay1969]

this guy rocks!.... look forward to nottingham royal concert hall!!!

[smokeythebear3]

The man can still sing so well. Man...I'd love to find a DVD concert of him

[brushes2]

Can you find this song and the other cover tunes on a CD?

[DrKeresaspa]

I never cared for this song but Glen's version is top notch.

[celticladydar]

I LOVE IT! Glen Campbell is timeless!

[WISPERmyNAMEagain]

I have always liked his music....thank you for sharing this..

[icyxwindz]

aha wow this guy is old but the way he sings it is pretty good =]

[jdmars011]

Glen Campbell can interpret ANYONE's Music. He is a gifted and talented musician. He is a musical cipher and that is his genius!

[kateified]

I'm on such a Glen Campbell fest. Finding out about his illness has made me nostalgic. Love these newer songs he did. What a great instrument he has.

[StevenDoyle35]

Just read that Glen has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. And has decided to retire after doing a final tour this year. Fantastic singer.....

[TheJesseHarmon]

Very sad that he has developed Alzheimer's. Everyone pray for him.

[ThermalFeedback]

Green Day's version is good. But, Damn! like this one far more!

[katrinarosiak68]

I was sad to hear he and my father share the same disease (Alzheimer's.)

[ColinTipton63]

Oh this has got to be the coolest good ole boy give it a shot that I've heard since Rusty Cage!

[bigmrclean]

I tell you what, In this guys prime you'd have to go a long way to find a better guitar player or musician. He can forever more shell down on a guitar.

[ramblingambler777]

I sort of like Green Day, but come on, comparing Glen, as a singer and interpreter of music, to Billie Joe Armstrong, is like comparing Frank Sinatra to Justin Beiber.

Nice to hear a version of this song that isn't so "snot-nosed" if you know what I mean.

Glen just got diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Wishing the guy well.

[SWeetfilms91]

His version of Times Like These (foo fighters) was a little too different for me, but I still appreciate the arrangement, if that makes sense. This though, really works as a country song. Cool for him to do this.

[MrBobby781]

Just found Glen has Alzheimers I know I didn't spell it correctly. So sad fantastic talent.hope he is around for years to come................

[102163srj]

He's 75 and newly diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Let us pray it progresses slowly since he is still putting out great music!

[paddyboyfoots]

I've got more respect for Glen and what he's been able to accomplish musically in his life than most all of em out there. God bless you Glen.

[MrBassetboy]

What an amazing performance by an amazing performer!  Thank-you Glen for the many, many good times....you are one of the "best of the best" !

[EpicJBieber]

So sorry to hear of Glen's diagnoises of Alzhemiers. He has brought so much joy. God bless Glen and his family during this journey.

[bengo91]

Fair play this is an awesome cover. Lovin' the guitar solos!

[Speckledtrout71]

awesome job glenn! prayers to you while you as you go through this time of illness. alzheimers is not an easy one to deal with. but your the rhinestone cowboy!!! you can do this!!

[lukeloveslauraalways]

Glenn is a very talented man. He has had some trouble along the way but he has brought lots of enjoyment to people with his music.

[spudmonster58]

wow, still exellent after all these years.Sorry to hear he was diagnosed with alzhiemers.will be buying your last album.

[elvisbycarlos]

So good.

[musicmanstingray1234]

Love it! Playing music live is a great feeling I can't wait until I get that chance again it is nice to see that age hasn't held such a great person back! Go Glen take the world!

[Imaneaglescout1]

Amazing



[paramore261]

AWESOME! :P I like him a bit more now. lol

[ImamAlMehdi]

Glen Campbell does Green Day. That's just awesome. Just simply wonderful.

[Jercarp55]

It's simply a great song. I remember the first time my son played it for me many years ago, I had to hold back the tears. Campbell used to be a session guitar player before his big fame and he can play circles around many of the greats. This is a great cover and converts well to country. I like Billy Joe a bit better though.

[lmfaoatthat]

the solo..OM...FG, :O :O :O ! AMAZING SOLO'S

[Tomsawyerspit]

Holy shit this is great its better than Greendays

[gmwhite98]

God I hope he goes on tour in New England. Preferably the Cape Cod Melody Tent. He is on the top of his game. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kstylie420]

Great performance by a great musician, of a great song, I showed this too my dad and said LOOK DAD, old dogs can learn new tricks, just gotta stop being so stereotypical!

[borndriver]

Awesome song! Awesome Singer! Awesome Band!

[pheenix42]

In another day, Glen might very well have written something like this...good cover!

[danaug2]

@TBTwinsFan09 it's not supposed to be played with electric guitar? I thought this was really good

[pepe4tekken6]

Thought i wouldn't like it, but it just sounds great.

[amerocker]

Unbelievable! A 72 year old Glen Campbell covering a Green Day song, and it's excellent! Does anyone know whom these musicians are? Some are young enough to be his grandchildren's age. Great job all!! Thank you, FunkyCountryBaby.

[rbuckley513]

I grew up with Glen Campbell. It's good to see him back. He had a rough time of it.

[AshCairo]

For what it's worth, it was worth it all the while.

[lillieisdaft]

I am a huge Green Day, and this song is one of my favorite by them, but this version is also good!

[daonfpe]

Always loved Glen! He's a MILESTONE in that special Country Music catagory, that, well, just settles you right in! God bless you my dear Brother!

[amojorovich]

JUST AWESOME!!

[vonzeke]

What this clip doesn't show is Campbell's skill as a guitarist.

[1923GreenDay]

Both versions are GREAT. Glen sings it with passion <3

[StoryUnfinished]

He made it sound so country but still sounds awesome :)

[desamator11]

DID A GOOD JOB HERE.

[xvzw]

130 people dont have the time of their life

[odinfromcentr2]

At first, I thought the singer-song combo had to be a typo, but I'm glad I checked it out. He's still got it, and the choice of song was impeccable.

[kerrykrishna]

I wanna hear a NEW album from him. Also, the pickup system in that little Red Diamond mandolin sure sounds good....

[FunkyCountryBaby]

@kerrykrishna Ghost on the Canvas, his final studio album, now available.

[mclovin2780]

Billie approves of this cover

[Dakenzieburnstick]

Pretty good for a old guy!

[WandaFayeMusic]

Hey Glen, it's Wanda Faye, I am 81 years young now and have lots to talk to you about. I hope you will contact me before I pass away. Guess you know that Weldon Rogers died a few years back. I can still remember you playing lead guitar on our" record. find me on facebook, myspace, and nelson-rogers dawt com /wanda please contact me ASAP

[REBELENE66]

this version is worlds better...love you glen.....

[sparx65]

This Guy is Brilliant.

[Sparklyable]

You know that your listening to an amazing song if you look at the "Tag" word list and there's only one or two words - it's bacause people actually look for this stuff!!

[Kattiacoolyeah]

Come to Florida Glen!!!

[MonXxSuun]

I always have the time of my life listening to Glen.

[Birdsong16]

Better than the original!



[martinC420v]

initally i thought this was gonna b shit , but it was actually really good !

[ZynXgaming]

<3

[1UNCOOLMIKE]

Very good version. The whole album is pretty good.

[RobertWaltz]

Excellent. The man's still got it. Bravo, Glen!

[NoGearsMagraw]

Superb version .......bravo

[Thecodi55]

Music is meant to be played the way you LIKE hearing it played. Green Day is my absolute favorite "newer" band but Glen Campbell 's obviously got a good ear for a well written song. I also like country music so this is plain, f**n cool! I prefer my GD's version but Mr. Canpbell's still got it going on!

[dongsun24ify]

Great guitar solo

[sherryrcarson]

A fragrant memory from my childhood......

[ericedy]

After viewing this great cover, go watch Wichita Lineman, 1970, from the Goodtime Hour.....time has been very good to Mr. Campbell....my all time favorite.

[717mienbao]

This is an excellent rendition, the use of folk instruments. He didn't try to "modernize"...excellent.

[Mandotwang]

Nice "Crusher-voiced" Red Diamond mandolin, and Glen has always had a ton of talent.

[8814george]

does a much better job with this song than Green Day

[IamOlivia1]

Very Nice!



[hhJACK92]

This is so much better. Sorry. It just is.

[TwanJacobs]

this is great:P

I love it!

[MacPro8CoreMan]

That was really very cool.

[lilundgren1]

I've always loved Glen Campbell and this version is great!

[lilundgren1]

Great version,here!

[Brotherman65]

Who is that mando player?

[xXRossyboyXx]

I'm 11 and I'm glad I heard this

[yamaha562000]

123 people love Justin Beiber

[moans33]

AWESOME!!



[Dudemag]

i like this version more

[MadaraXIII]

I'll say it. This version is better than the original Green Day version. It just seems that it's more meant for the country sound.

[leofuya]

Excelente interpretacion

[JVOCQC]

I think my parents met Glen at a ASCAP function, probably thru Hal David.

This is a great mixture of Glen and Green Day. Think about it...with all the notes on the scale isn't it amazing how they can be arranged and re-arranged with such clarity and awe. I wish I had their artistic vision, but some people are the appreciators and mea culpa. Thanks so much for this...it's awesome. Well, all of Mr. Campbell's works is.

YVT

[TalkfusionDave]

He looks a little rough but he can still sing...great entertainer!

[Arcadiaredneck]

Is this version available for purchase anywhere?

[FunkyCountryBaby]

@Arcadiaredneck Yes, there's a CD called Meet Glen Campbell and it's probably on iTunes too.

[azwildcats69]

Pretty damn good!

[BusterBroonie]

Have had the pleasure to meet Glen in the flesh, backstage in Glasgow, What a nice, genuine guy. He sang this that night too, I love it!

[muckypops]

wow dig it

[Jerrysimonsimon]

Lovely. The mandolin completes the song brilliantly!

[Mckikis]

Love it

[ldolphin34]

Are you KIDDING me?? This is incredible!! Glen is still crossing over his work, and he never sounds out of element. Count me as both a Glen Campbell and Green Day fan.

[herbie0408]

Boy, he nailed this song, brilliant.

[oversoul99]

I thought when I clicked on this, I'd hate it. Within the first 20 seconds of the song, I decided that this was amazing. D: Makes me want a Banjo for some reason...

[RimixD]

It sounds really, really good.

[allanflightvideos]

I find it fantastic that some of the teenagers are commenting positively about this, it shows that even in time to come the legacy will still be there. I am 16, but in terms of music I am much older. Even though only the positive comments are being shown according to the description, there are a good few positive comments from the younger generation. This really means people will be listening to this for years to come!

There were (and still are) some extremely talented performers out there!

[gazzo45]

This is great and I've seen Glen perform it live. However, it might be even nicer if Glen were to sing it accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar.

[filthandfury]

goes to show how universal the song is, awesome

[DPC1959]

Hey, Glen Campbell is almost 75, and he still rocks. The only bad thing about this video is that he is still a monster on guitar, but all he does is sing on this video.

[zymurgist63]

Great cover!

[Freshcut16oi92]

This is really good! By far one of the best covers of this song.
