Green Day - American Idiot (Live on Letterman 09-20-04)-SVCD-jadeD-nV

[SumthinSmellz]

i think tre scared the shit outa letterman when they played hitchin a ride

[k123332]

they don't sound any different with him.

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

@k123332 The solo has the riff underneath. Of course they need both.

[WhooNiki]

Billie broke into my house and stole my guitar...

[k123332]

sell out city, don't need the dude in the red shirt. I had dookie since 93-94ish. love the next cd they did but they went down hill from there.

[k123332]

bj can do the lead and the dude in the red shirt can do the rhythm.

[Jaap95]

@k123332 'the dude in the red shirt' is jason motherfucking white and he rocks!

[k123332]

why do they need the dude in the red shirt?

[igotboomed]

What a damn live cover. No miming nothing but awesomeness haha. I miss playing this

[luvcomedy123]

It's so interesting watching all of their appearances on Letterman... their evolution is truly a phenomenon to watch :D

[SAINTJIMMYROTTEN]

@luvcomedy123 I know man..My mom got me into them in 97' and I have been a Huge fan ever since..I love new Green Day as much as Old Green Day..It's all the same Green Day too me :p

[pwnzer92000]

Dude WTF dont censor them, it's green day! Geez one of my fav bands.

[stumpafuh]

That was a boring ass fucking crowd during the song

[233jester]

@stumpafuh the company probably tuned out the crowd for the song

[greendayalex21]

Billie "Really?'

[ninjachoco]

Green Day Played Basket Case in 1994 10 years before this!

[thiagodasilvaborba]

HE LOVES THE TRÉ-FACT-

[NickTimandDylan]

What was tre reading at the end?

[MyFunnyBrianShow]

Great Band!

[CartoonBlast229z]

who's the guy in the red shirt?

[UkProGamerz]

@CartoonBlast229z jason white hes with them all the time

[CartoonBlast229z]

@UkProGamerz Wow I didn't know green day had a lead guitarist

[UkProGamerz]

@CartoonBlast229z hes to help with live tours (when billies messing with the crowd)

[braddaboss1]

@CartoonBlast229z Cuz i know u have no fucking clue what the other ppl said that guy in the read shirt is, he's the Bass Guitarist.

[rush2ryme]

@braddaboss1 first of all, learn to spell. second, the bassist is MIKE DIRNT, the guy playing the BASS guitar. The guy in the red shirt is Jason White, he tours with them and he's usually the lead guitarist live. That way Billie can run around without having to worry about messing up the guitar part.

[braddaboss1]

@rush2ryme Im Sorry that i dont give a shit

[MrRoflwat]

@braddaboss1 YEah, I wonder who doesn't have a fucking clue.. dumbfuck

[twilightfan0fedward]

Ah we silly Americans ^^

[HannahMacMaster]

"and there's something wrong with their drummer" :')

[vanlandeghemvince]

When you think about the nineties you think of nirvana, green day. Now its just green day

[asiteu13]

@vanlandeghemvince I think green day is more important nowadays than in the nineties. They were there, were a great band, now they are more wellknown. I think that. Nirvana is way different than GD, they're both great bands for me =)

[HelterSkelterSOR]

@vanlandeghemvince wat about Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Oasis, Blur, theyr still around. not Oasis tho

[AwesomeAsFuckUser]

tre's face at 0:23

[Emineminero]

Don't want to be an American idiot.

[ivan22oliva]

miticiiiiiiiiii tre coooooooooool



[lalynch1967]

Keeping rock n roll alive and educating the younger generation about how messed up society and our government is. Love it.

[supp0rter9]

there is something wrong with the drummer :) :D

[TheMegaPaintballer]

they were so good live at boston mass in 2009 so good!!

[TheMegaPaintballer]

did he huck his sticks and pick up a book?

[drklenk]

"And there's something wrong with their drummer, that's all you need to know." Haha...he's a god! :D

[Alexyz6]

i like the soun d of billies guitar much more than the one on the album.

les Paul jr. is pure rock!!

[wimpman94]

how did he do that vocal thing at 3:10?

[xSergioRottenx]

@wimpman94 hee's a robot

[Geekstinkbreath123]

@wimpman94 If you look closely you will notice that Billie has his mouth on the mic most of the time, but, at 3:10 he backs up from the mic making it sound farther away.

[nonamekiller12]

and..threres something wrong with their drummer.....(tre cool) :O<--- ...thats all there is to know- letterman

[HelterSkelterSOR]

green day are cool , but theyr not punk, just sayin

[RiddLss]

@HelterSkelterSOR They use to be, back in the 90's and 80's. Even this album was somewhat Punk at least.

[HelterSkelterSOR]

@RiddLss this album is not punk, it may SOUND punkish like St Jimmy. but Wake Me Up When September Ends? you gotta be shitting me right? Even Johnny Rotten from The Sex Pistols disagrees that Green Day are punk

[MWproductions1000]

@HelterSkelterSOR are you retarded? have you listened to Dookie?

[HelterSkelterSOR]

@MWproductions1000 aaah yeah i have it, its great, but its not punk

[indianagurl1235]

Censoring Green Day is like rewriting The Decleration of Independence or painting over the Sistine Chapel.

[BasketballDemon11]

this is just the best live green day performance I've ever seen.

[ryutheman8]

@BasketballDemon11 lol... look up christie road awesome as fuck live.

[crueel10]

That's old you need to know

[crueel10]

There's something wrong with their drummer xD

[EPerfect97]

There is obviously something wrong with all of them. They're too freakin awesome to be human! haha I love what Tré does at the end of all of these shows.

[rosco3956]

Jason stole billies guitar. look 2:25. Its rite there

[powertotehchord]

@rosco3956 lol and you say that like Billie joe is the only one that owns a les paul jr

[12fritsch]

all Drummers shud be like Tre, crazy and somewhat wierd

[tomboy2081]

Something wrong with him?! I think there's something totally right with him!

[homecmng1]

Albarn...sorry

[homecmng1]

In my opinion Billie joe and damen Albany have some of the best voices it there

[eric829]

@ANinjaMelonX tre's look at 0:23 sums it up perfectly.

[Nofcporto]

[brunixize]

[drklenk]

Tré....coolest, funniest motherfucker on this planet..

[superpop7jp]

日本でこんな詩を日本版に変えて、歌ったら、ヒットしませんね。­ｗ

[MrMuseboy]

single handly pfft their shit. There bassist is a retard and the other guitars looks like pedophile and the drummer is well i dont even know XD

[sanlore147]

@MrMuseboy what are you saying? be careful with your words

[Lmaox94]

@MrMuseboy pretty harsh words to come from a total moron.

[skaterbro311]

@MrMuseboy Hey, man, SHUT THE FUCK UP. Go back to jerkin' to a Fall Out Boy video.

[MistaFunk12]

@MrMuseboy BITCH PLEASE! Mike Dirnt is a bass playing god, Tre Cool is the drum playing god, and Billie is the guitar playing god. Now shut the fuck up and go back to fingering yourself to Justin Bieber.

[lightninstriker10]

@MistaFunk12 They're my favorite band too, but I'd hardly call them gods.. calm down man, we're not trying to slam anyone here, let the Beliebers do their thing and try your best to ignore them.. take three steps back and calm down.

[LeLeFRaiinO]

@MistaFunk12 u sir just named 3 undisputable facts

[ThisNameWasntUs3d]

@MistaFunk12 hmm... not sure God is appropriate.. They make fantastic music and I love them, but there are better musicians out there... just saying

[johnmichaelosbourne7]

@MistaFunk12 billys not that good as a guitarist. i mean hes not bad but hes nothing special. thing is it goes SO well with tre and mike, who are good, so its awsome. and his singing is GOD

[johnmichaelosbourne7]

@MistaFunk12 and mike was good before american idiot. hes still good bu the bass playing on american idiot/21st century breakdown isnt anything specxial

[Forbelicious]

@MistaFunk12 I like how you back up Green Day and then talk down on Justin Bieber, as if he's like worse or something.

[nvDarth]

@MistaFunk12 Actually, it really is only Tre that is really good at his instrument, the others play well but Billie only plays 3 cords which is not very difficult and Mike is good a bassist but only play the same few cords as well. The real guitar go is Jimmy Hendrix, bass god is Flea (from RHCP) and drum god is Ringo Star/Travis Barker. Green Day is still a very good band but just not the greatest at their respective instruments.

[deadendguitarist]

@nvDarth it's not just about technicality.

[YaItsRiff]

@nvDarth its also about collaboration as a band and how they compliment each other as a whole

[MrRobinvanthielen]

@nvDarth Only a few chords? Well duh it's punk rock! And about Travis Barker yea he aint bad but he's a fuckin' hip-hopper in a punk band....

[Kimbrokk]

@MrMuseboy See, this kind of music isnt for you, obviously you shouldn't be here, so stfu and go be gay somewhere else like on muse videos. XD to you to bitch.

[xPo1S0nXs0DaX]

"Thiers something wrong with thier Drummer"

*Camera goes to Tre with a Rape Face on*

HHAHAHA! They'be been on Letterman atleast 7-10 times and you can tell he loves em' XD

[JPSMusics]

[SkateLennekeTV]

[xPo1S0nXs0DaX]

@SkateLennekeTV They've been on Letterman more than 2 times...more like 7-10 times.

[SkateLennekeTV]

@xPo1S0nXs0DaX ow, i didn't know that :P

[oNegLeEk]

[mikedavis5671]

They tore that shit up!!

[shatteredrain1]

[trecoolmania]

[oNegLeEk]

[galicije83]

@FuckYouBitch53

u think 2 person....

[RevisPisetta]

Now there are two people. Not only kill, but torture before.

[crueel10]

3:11 MIKE IS THE BEST

[chilibro]

the drummer kind of looks like the rascal flats guy

[dave62x]

why is he so embarrassed to be american? i guess he's too liberal for his own good.

[tdyyy1613]

@dave62x America is a corrupt, imperialist, war creating nation spreading their bull shit around the world in order to try and act like they are still important. How does it feel to be China's bitch???

[dave62x]

@tdyyy1613 well well now, your unemployed imagine that. did you go to college? judging by your statement i think you did. too bad they didn't teach you to think for yourself. oh well, another idealistic young man about to learn about the harsh reality of the real world. good luck fool.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x the reality is theres nothing abour the US to be proud about, specially the redneck/tea party US.

[dave62x]

@pnkluis luis, nobody really cares what you think. You need to worry about your own country and its problems.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x Is my problem when the pro-war bastards your country have want to attack my country to steal our Oil.

[dave62x]

@pnkluis chavez has got you brainwashed into believing that. however, you need us as much as we need you. without that oil money chavez would not be able to continue his policies because he couldn't continue to give money to the poor to placate them and support him and his policies.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x Im against Chavez goverment the same way im against the war thats only to make the rich people richer. Republican precandidates said US should start considering attacking Latinamerican countrie+ they should apply the Monroe's doctrine again + all the yada-yada about Hezbolla cells around here, next statements will be that we have nuclear weapons ... do US people still fall for this shit after Irak?.

[dave62x]

@pnkluis I would put nothing past chavez. Terrorists have been caught trying to sneak into the US via mexico and canada. The election is year away those candidates you speak of will be gone by next year. Mitt Romney will probably be forced upon us. I'll be holding my nose as I vote next year. How do we know you don't have nukes? Chavez is nut capable of anything. We take everything into consideration. That's how terrorist plots are foiled before they can be done.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x I approve taking everything into consideration, thats how military intelligence & strategy works, but making public statements without any kind of real proof is just bullshit, the same bullshit they used for Irak.

[dave62x]

@pnkluis the intelligence they had at the time suggested that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Saddam hussein was a madman and would't put it past him to not have said weapons. they are probably buried in the desert somewhere.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x Yah they are buried next to the oil. The UN never found proof of such weapons, yet US still attacked the country just because they thought maybe somewhere in the desert there was a nuke, I fail to see the intelligence in such actions

[dave62x]

@pnkluis dont be an asshole. we are talking about saddam hussein. he killed off alot of his own country men. he invaded kuwait. what do you think he had in mind? keep your head buried in the sand. being vigilant is not a bad thing. It stops bad things from happening. I'm sure you'll have a snappy response to that. One thing i have learned, you have already made up your mind and i will never be able to change your mind.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x Sorry but if youre going to attack another country it should be for real reasons and not just some ramdon assumptions even if that guy is saddam, I dont see the US attacking North Corea, and they really represent a threat to the US & South Korea. Oh wait they dont have oil and indeed have nukes they will launch without remorse if attacked, hmnf...

[dave62x]

@pnkluis your an asshole. i guess hitler is just like like saddam? oh by the way, do enjoy living in your shit hole country. I am going to play along with you. Soon we will take over and will enjoy freedom even if you dont like it. oh, by the way korea is spelled with a "K" dumbass.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x Korea = Corea in spanish just an error while writting, why you even start insulting if you know youre right? Hitler was a real threat for the whole world, with real proofs not just some assumptions that he maybe was destroying Europe & maybe was going to come to America to do the same... about the shit hole part, im not the one who lives in a country with increasing poverty due to the goverment not having the balls to stand up against Corps & Banksters.

[trecoolmania]

@pnkluis can you guys shut the fuck up about arguing about this shit.this song should be devoted to you.its called american idiot.makes sense.

[pnkluis]

@trecoolmania Lol why me? I was the one defending the song <,< and its meaning.

[dave62x]

@pnkluis random assumptions? what the fuck do you know? You dumbass, you have no clue about what goes on in Iraq. how can you possibly know? Oh yeah, thats right you dont.

[pnkluis]

@dave62x Oh and you know a lot about what goes on in Iraq, the same way you knew there were nukes right?

[HallPassFilms]

@pnkluis ooh we have a prejudice probably very racist person here. Hate jews much?

[pnkluis]

@HallPassFilms Nah, there are republican precandidates saying the US should aattack my country because we want to kill US people, all they want is our OIL -.-

[HallPassFilms]

@pnkluis yeah.. those republicans just want an excuse for another war. I understand now what you feel. But still, just hate on the republicans, not all americans, because not ALL americans are redneck. just the republicans.

[dave62x]

@HallPassFilms Just hate on republicans. not all americans are rednecks. what the fuck kind of logic is that. i don't agree with you so i'm a redneck. your a fucking idiot. henceforth all idiots are democrats, right?

[HallPassFilms]

@dave62x lol sorry i was confused. i thought you were british and hated americans because republicans wanted to start war with you.

[HallPassFilms]

@dave62x oh and lets just say that no one's a redneck. i was silly goose

[tdyyy1613]

@dave62x Well I am thinking for myself unlike you. Maybe if you opened your eyes and could see what America is doing these days you would understand. Obviously you are a Conservative who thinks whatever America does is the right thing to do. Now go back to watching Fox News and getting brainwashed.
