Billie Joe Armstrong ~ St. Jimmy ~ American Idiot Broadway 9/29

[GreenTrekkie]

oh my god, i love him!!!! <3

[soyyotakuu]

genial!

[daniellemariexx1]

@IsoMorphix People like their music, Their music is good, and they get shit for it because apparently if you're in any kind of rock band whether its alternative or punk rock and you're signed to a major record label you get shit for it. Green Day's FUCKING AWESOME so go get a life

[AmericanIdiotIsMe]

He's really good at acting. Too bad he doesn't sing AND act for a career. I mean, he's prolly get a lot of shit, he already gets a lot now, but he's really good. And I'm not saying that because he's my favorite musician or he's my inspirer, but because I honestly mean it. He;s gonna be on nurse jackie.... I've never seen it before but Imma watch it just to see how well he does :))

[shelloz09]

he is seriously, to me, the hottest guy in the world...lol and my favorite musician/performer

[GDGloading]

Does he can do anything? I mean, singing, playing music, dancing, acting? And he draws so fucking good xD

The only thing I think he's unable to do is maths!

[PunkavenuGreenDay]

I can't beleive it's already been a year since this.

[painthead135]

im really glad that i got to see this! i saw american idiot on broadway with billie joe as st. jimmy in march and it blew my mind!

[GreenDaysummerify]

@painthead135 He wasn't in American Idiot in march, Davey havok and 1 other person took over the part....

[painthead135]

@GreenDaysummerify oh wow thats awkward. yeah i saw davey havok in march. i saw billie joe in april. my bad. he autographed my playbill :)

[pablo33514]

NO ME GUSTA VER A BILLIE HACIENDO ESTO ... EL ES UN ROCKERO NO UN BAILARIN

[VivaLaTrench]

I honestly can't listen to the recorded version of this song from The Original Cast Recording simply because I know Billie played St. Jimmy at one point :3 I LOVE BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG!

[NOnice29GUY]

billie is one of the best actors in the world and the best singer in the world

[roughdiamond5]

Oh god, I can't believe how much of this I've forgotten! I forgot completely that Johnny kissed Whatsername in this song, and how everyone was on their knees, and how St. Jimmy randomly kissed that girl... Thank you so much for bringing my memories back!

[heatherGreenDay95]

i'd give my left testicle just to have seen this !

[fayenesse]

fuck... that just blew my mind... thank you so much for posting this!

[paige3406]

god this would have been just breathtaking to see.

[BillyEinspired]

@Deppowns2426 @MyLifeIsRAGEandLOVE Rolling Stone confirmed he's St. Jimmy on June 13!!! can't wait!!

[BillyEinspired]

LOVE HIM!!! I saw his 2nd performance...and the energy he brought to the theater was INSANE!!!!

[diamond19971]

i saw him January 9th 2011 he sign my back

[OnigiriMely]

@MyLifeIsRAGEandLOVE well BJ actually said it's NOT confirmed, but he's interested.

[shann0ny]

@MyLifeIsRAGEandLOVE OH MY GOD I KNOW!! I HAD A COMPLETE SPASMODIC FIT! XD

[ellencalvo]

WOW AWESOME VIEW!!!!!!!

[cr44183]

@thepunker4life. U r a bully if u can't accept a person the way they r asshole bitch!! Suck my dick! Suck my mother fucking dick! Suck my dick! Suck my mother fucking mother fucking dick dick

[cr44183]

@taktion you tell him!!! @punk4life u r a bully if u can't accept a person the way they are asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Soccerfan217]

The crotch drab at the beginning made me laugh. Only BJA....

[ThePunker4life]

@jointaktion ummmm dude if you dont like his new shit why are you watching this vid? go listen to dookie and stop leaving your shit comments. everyone has thier taste.. if you dont like it go bitch somewear else.

[jointaktion]

@ThePunker4life exactly you idiot. Everyone has their taste. Including me and I am entitled to have my opinion. Or are you saying only people who like a clip have the right to comment? You not very intelligent, are you? And why do you call yourself Punk4life? What's punk about you, you wannabe. Go to broadway and listen to your musicals you sallad tosser. Punk you are definitely not.

[ThePunker4life]

@jointaktion you dont know me lol and its ok im not going to act like a tuff guy on the net. if you were some random fuck who said this to my face it wouldnt be pretty my friend :) have fun trolling bro lol

[IsoMorphix]

Eh... Epically overblown (but still solid) murkily narrated concept album by aging 3rd wave punk rock band is now a musical. And one of them is in it....

Green Day used to be my favorite band. Then this shit happened.

Now I listen to Muse. Logical progression I think.

[DarkGuitarKid]

@IsoMorphix What's wrong with a musical? Look at Pink Floyd, one of the pioneers of rock music. they had a movie musical

[IsoMorphix]

@DarkGuitarKid It was fucking Pink Floyd. And would have never ran on Broadway.

[DarkGuitarKid]

@IsoMorphix What's the difference? Being on broadway and having a musical on screen

[IsoMorphix]

@DarkGuitarKid You really have to ask that question? If watch the stage presence of any actor in a musical it's big, gesture filled, and not very subtle. They can't be. You have to act out enough for people way in the back to see you. Musicals are extremely over acted. In front of a camera, you can be as subtle as you like.

Plus Broadway musicals always have that Broadway-ness about them. Hammy acting, over-emotionalism. Eugh.

And Pink Floyd's movie was a 90 minute music video. Not a musical.

[DarkGuitarKid]

@IsoMorphix I'm surprised that since you know why the actors have to overact; so that everyone can understand them, you're still unhappy. hmm. i have nothing to say, this is just a matter of opinion.

there are punk vocalists like jello biafra who like musicals and then again there are people like johnny rotten who are hypocrites and think they define punk

[IsoMorphix]

@DarkGuitarKid This isn't about "punk rock". Fuck that. Real "punk" bands never get record deals, play to a crowd of 8, and never make peace with their own existence.

The point is that this musical's very existence is both ironic and telling. Ironic in that Green Day still calls itself a "punk rock" band, and yet they are at the peak of their own corporatism. Telling in that I can guarantee you that this band has 1 album left before EVERYONE stops caring.

[DarkGuitarKid]

@IsoMorphix Well by your saying Sex Pistols, Ramones, and especially The Clash are not real punk bands then.

Anyway, your last stentence. that's what everyone said during Green Day's warning era, then they came out of American Idiot and everyone started talking about them again. This is the funny thing about music. You just keep reinventing yourself in music

[kaila900]

@IsoMorphix from a musical to muse who writes music for twilight... yeah, a logical progression perhaps depending on which way your going

[IsoMorphix]

@kaila900 That's sort of the point.

Please note, I think Neutron Star Collision is a shitty song.

[LaxLuver31]

ahh! this show was absolutely AMAZING! Billie Joe is FANTASTIC! <3 <3 <3

[Vertig063]

I always laugh when he throws the glitter in the air. It's just so funny :)

[liveyoungdiefast91]

Guys I swear to fucking god someone posted this on a forum:

"Seeing Billie as St. Jimmy scared me so much.

Since I hold him to be this "rock" I can hold on to, his whole character went against that.

I keep telling myself, "He's just acting. He's just acting." but I can't get the image out of my head.

All since then, I've been haunted by St. Jimmy.

How do I get "the old Billie" back to hold on to?"

ROFLLOLLMAO

[FuckTheNormMusic]

@BleacherShotz The show's closing on Broadway, but it's going to tour the country in the Fall. I have no clue if Billie Joe will be in any of the performances, though.

[ItsAllAboutDaJourney]

why the fuck did he kiss guys seriously WHAT DA FUCK? Or was it guys?

[SuperChiquita666]

i saw that! it was soooooooooooo amazzing :D

[benjierooster]

Dude, just saw him perform a few days ago. AMAZING!!!

[SockynJamie]

Do you think Gerard Way could do St. Jimmy on Broadway? Just puttin' it out there.

[CazxXlovesxXyoux]

@SockynJamie that would be awesome :D hope they come to england to do this some time :3

[xChrizmax]

The comedy and tragedy ending is the greatest ending ever, I love their dance move there!!!

[OpalSwan]

I love how a little bit of the glitter he has in his pockets falls out every time he walks =] plus its kinda perfect for St. Jimmy

(And yes for those of you who have not seen the show, St. Jimmy has gitter in his pockets which he throws out sometimes in his songs)

[ItsOnlyDallis]

I saw this on the 20th. It's absolutely brilliant. Billie did a fantastic job in the role, and the entire show left me speechless.

[bbluvzzzz719]

i just saw thee play yesturday omg he was amazing <3

[GreaseAddict27]

Hi. I love you for posting this! I saw the show for a second time last night and absolutly LOVED him as St. Jimmy and was a little upset that I didn't try to tape some!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But ahh thanks!

[pickles4peace12]

I'M SEEING THIS ON THE 27th! Gonna be the BEST SHOW EVAR!

[jenniferfeliciano66]

1;05 Billie joe did the sex thing with his fingers! lol

[jenniferfeliciano66]

@jenniferfeliciano66 1:05 I mean

[GreenDayJ17A13]

Holy shit, I died at the pure amazingness of this video. THANK YOU.

[pixargod]

Billie Joe Armstrong was awesome in the role of St Jimmy. I went to see this show while I was in New York he really took everyone in the theatre by storm. Plus near the end of the show after the song I hope you have the time of your life. Some screaming fan girls in the audience threw him some flowers.

[bububundax]

[KKINGFORADAY]

[sunnyskiesCA]

As much as I hated this play, I would have loved to see Mr. Armstrong perform in his hometown where the play opened before it came to Broadway.

[greendaybabe39]

i seriously would have died of excitement!

[BethKnill92]

he was great!!! top off an all!!!!

[skankinbritt]

where were you seated? I'm seeing the show in about a month and I'm row N in the right orchestra. I hope I can see as good as you did!

[ThexWhitexOne]

I hope this comes to London's westend because I cant afford to go to New York again yet and i soooooo want to see this, with or without Billie Joe, it looks amazing

[anythinggoesbyme]

blillie is the best one on there

i mean none of the others look punk enough

he definetley has the showmanship

[malpercio123]

Wow Billie Joe is Awesome, But i Effing love Tony Vincent!

[imaginaryxsuperstar]

billie joe is absolutely FABULOUS! and from the rating of this video, i think everyone agrees.

[xobilliejoe4xo]

im going to see this in february with him in it. IM SO FUCKING EXCITED. I still can't comprehend the idea that im acually going. I'm proboly going to start screaming in class one day, finally realizing that im going to see a god. xD

[saf414]

[stfacku]

[TruthBringer14]

[EevaHails]

[DazzleJazzle12]

Uhm... John gallagher & billie joe armstrong... woah!!!

[annmac101]

Billie Joe Armstrong is THE SEX!

[gottalovegreendayXD]

i was there on october 3rd!! tht was the last day billie was suppose to be there and it was amazing! They had a show at 3 and another at 7... so i went to the 3:00 one and after the show everyone was waiting outside for billie but the police said he wasnt coming out until 9 after the last show and everyone was screaming at the cops BILLIE JOE! BILLIE JOE! and they caused a traffic jam in the streets... it was GREAT except... i didnt get to see Billie cause my family had to leave the city by 8 :(

[Blondie10121]

Thank-you soo much for posting this! I live in Scotland and have no way of being able to see AI. You have made my day! :D

[ZukoSithLord]

Lol, Billie Joe looks like that guy from the Jesus of Suburbia music video.

[Improvnewsie35]

Personally, I actually rather Tony Vincent in the role. It's great that Billy Joe got to do it seeing as it's all centered around his music but Tony Vincent is the performer needed for the role. Billy Joe doesn't seem to have the stamina and theatrical ability to handle all the physicality.

That, and Tony Vincent was just freakin awesome live.

[oxOwhatsernameOxo]

thank u sooooooooo much for this!!!

i wish i could've seen that! sometimes i really hate living in europe...:S

[GreenDaydrummergrl]

Damn he is sooo sexy!

[SerenaShark]

@Deppowns2426 He can't not be awesome? I FUCKING LOVE HIM!!!!!!!

[MinorityEm]

Ahahaha, I just realised you can hear me scream in the end! Great times and I want MORE!!

Love you for filming this!

[13GreenQueen]

[curiousgeorgmuncher]

FFffffffffff- I wished I lived in America. OTL

[annastargirl]

[harryginnyalways]

No one can sing it like Billie. Fucking amazing, wish I had been there

[lmgdlao]

[amandalovesgreenday]

LOVE IIIT :D

omg he is sooo damn hot *drooling* love iiit :D <3

[Thecodi55]

@okatieo- Thank you so, so, so much for this view! Wish I'd have been there to see him because, as is apparent, he was f'ing great- we knew he had it in him!

[imentechno]

and that's why GREEN DAY IS FUCKING AWESOME <3<3<3

[GdICEFIREwolf007Batm]

Homecoming was when he took his shirt off I went to one sometime in September and after that, because I'm part of the Idiot Club, I got an e-mail about Billie Joe Armstrong of green day is playing the role of St.Jimmy for a week and my mom surprised me with us heading to this show on 10/1/10

[mariab1972]

[ThoseGreenDayz]

I just shit my pants and you know what came out? A demon named St. Billie Jr. That's right. I was raped by that hunk of devil up there through my eyes and ears and out popped a son of gun if I ever saw one.

[IndigoMoon88]

@ThoseGreenDayz Holy shit, I want to adopt your rape baby!!! Either that, Billie Joe will go ahead with the million person orgy!

[AnatloyChessPlayer]

FINALLY!!! Something amazing came out of this so-so show! Don't get me wrong, I wanted to love it but there are just too many things wrong with it for me.

[organboi]

@AnatloyChessPlayer TOTALLY AGREE! I wanted to love it too, but there were just too many things wrong with it. BJA should stay in the show.

[organboi]

Respond to this video... Amazing song. Amazing to see BJ doing choreography for a show. It's like now he has other artists to answer to, unlike when he's running his own shows himself.

[shakespearefan80]

oh my goood!! thank you sooooo much for uploading this - I'm so mad I couldn't go to see it, but this makes up for it a little bit.. <3 St. Billie 4 ever!!

[organboi]

@penelxo109 Why don't you get on a bus and go? I"m in L.A. Glad you're a BJA fan! There's always a way for true fans.

[penelxo109]

@organboi i wish it was that simple...but i have no money and im 16 haha...i asked everyone in the world if i could go and it just never happened =P im just happy for Billie Joe that he got to do this!! even if i didnt see it lol

[NightFallsFast1]

[FannyDefoe]
