Green Day "Basket Case" surprise Encore performance @ American Idiot on Broadway April 22, 2010

[vicente21GD]

O: les paul, where is blue D:

[sundevils01]

its the dookie demo version!!!

[LEWYKE1]

wtf???? basket case with gibosn:O:O....DAMN!!!!!

[Hangingaround79]

Wait, Green Day has a musical?

[MustangTF141]

Is it a sin to use a Les Paul Junior on Basket Case?

[orangefudge]

@MustangTF141 you use whatever you want Mustang.. it`s the spirit you play it with that matters, not the instrument

[odiemodie1]

BJ and company... still rollin' after all these years... he seems to have found the fountain of youth through music that is timeless... keep on rockin', Greenday!

Forever young... forever young... :)

[keili461]

very good =D

[XxemmalaurenxX]

Hahaha that guy awkwardly hugs and holds billie joes hand at the end :D

[pinkfluffyunicorn99]

It's so annoying how people compare Billie Joe to God.

I mean he's good but he's no Billie Joe!

[xxTheDoorsFanxx]

Billie Joe is GOD, he will never age! ;)

Anyways Green Day are the fucking best. Always has been and always will be.

They will be around forever, and like Billie Joe said he will play his guitar until the day he dies.

[yaggogt5]

BJ is GOD !!!!!! BJ FOREVER

[Fraud630]

these guys will never age :L

[elysa64]

theyre soo coool. *.*

gaahdammit i wish i was there.

[bigman10146]

IS THAT MAYHAM IN THE BACKROUND FROM MMA

[HangerXBand]

GREEN DAY ! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS PRODUCTION IN LONDON NEXT YEAR !!!!! <3 

[LivingLife123100]

@HangerXBand CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT IN ST. LOUIS ON MARCH 3, 2012!!

[KissTheIrishGirl]

EVEN BROADWAY ACTORS RECORD GREEN DAY!!

[xPo1S0nXs0DaX]

All the actors jumping around acting like they know what this is...they've probubly never heard of Dookie...

[newfoundlandidiot]

@xPo1S0nXs0DaX oh get the fuck off your high horse. they're enjoying the music like anybody should

[LivingLife123100]

@xPo1S0nXs0DaX asshole. Did you not notice their mouths moving with the words? CORRECTLY? I mean, seriously, just stfu.

[brentgilson]

ok i need a greenday expert to answer this question, cause it's driving me crazy. i understand that the original greenday itself has 3 members, but when they perform there's always 6.

[jcowdreymusic19961]

@brentgilson that's 'cause on their older stuff they were simpler, pretty much just bass, drum, and guitar. They even didn't play solos. But now they're about the show as well, so now they have more people so they can do solos, and so Billie Joe can be fucking amazing and run around and shit and the guitar will still be playing, played by another person. The other three people are more like a back up band,

[brentgilson]

@jcowdreymusic19961 thanks!

[thebrutalkremlin]

genius. Too bad the Idiots around them are too busy making phone videos than fucking rocking out!

[rageloveHML]

@thebrutalkremlin good for me though, since I never got to see this, or even a Green Day concert...or any concert.

[ryobunkdie95]

he's already old.. but yet he's still cute, handsomeeeee, n gorgeouss!!

[RainbowSnow101]

These guys are on the verge on 40 near enough, and there still going as well as they did when they were in there 20's. To me, these guys will never be defeat-able. They are truly outstanding and will continue to be forever. No matter what they play, it's always amazing no doubt about it! If you're a true fan you'll stand by them every step of the way. Green Day FTW!

[Volts48]

@RainbowSnow101 if these guys even had the slightest clue what impact they would they would have back then, they wouldn't have even written American Idiot. These guys were a punk band that was not afraid to change genres and take the flak for it when they wrote songs like "Good Riddence"

That is good work when they can accept that flak and still push forward on what they want to write songs about.

[scotticusnorvegicus]

About time you guys gave Inflammable Material by Stiff Little Fingers a good listen to.

[DuckDuctTape1]

Billie rocked that jump!

[doggymaroggy]

wypierdalać siury

[LighterB]

what sell outs... where they were when they wrote this, and now what and where they are playing it. Yuck.

[shahedammh]

@LighterB Seriously!!! Why did you open the link if you hate them so much?! They'll write whatever the hell they want and wherever they want!!! It's non of your damn business! You don't like it don't listen to it, no one forced you to!

[LighterB]

@shahedammh what a faggot fan boy thing to say. I watched it so I can give an opinion dumb shit... were I not to have watch it all and then said what I did, perhaps then you'd have a point. Ya dumb cunt.

And no... I wont be watching again you smarmy fan boy douche.

[shahedammh]

@LighterB Hahaha I don't care about what you say, blah blah blah... FYI, I'm not even a boy xD

[leonsylar]

@shahedammh dont feed the trolls



[shahedammh]

@leonsylar Yeah you're right I shouldn't, it's just that I don't think before saying anything!

[oNeHanDGuN]

this song is awesome...legenddddddddddddddd

[AmericanIdiotIsMe]

First time I've seen Billie Joe play the actual lead guitar since american idiot :)

[SnowManxzz]

@AmericanIdiotIsMe

You must not go to many Green day shows then.

I saw him play lead guitar a couple months ago.

[AmericanIdiotIsMe]

@SnowManxzz ive never been to a show because they never come where i live.

i mean jason always plays it usually.

[stripeytofu]

Omg, watching him play the guitar so low is hurting my back! xD

[kekkinalover97]

:') love them *ç*

[praquina]

His hair moves so amazing! I love his hair.

[GR33NDAYFAN13]

2 people just..just..they just fukn suk.

[GreenDayMultiTracks]

First time i see this song played in standard tuning

[jonbajet]

@GreenDayMultiTracks What do you mean? Billie is playing it half step down. At least from what i see on his placements on frets. No?

[GreenDayMultiTracks]

@jonbajet

No, he plays it like he usually do, but his guitar is tuned in standard tuning

[jonbajet]

@GreenDayMultiTracks Oh i see, i cant tell the difference haha

[Futuressj3]

this was like one of the first songs i tried to learn on guitar. =)

[fairygirl1313]

2:37-2:44 I just died *.*

[KOSKillKOD]

at the beginning billie says "Aw fuck it" haha

[nicodj747]

BASKET CASE SOUNDS MUCH BETTER WITH A LES PAUL!!!

[DarkGuitarKid]

@nicodj747 Blue is the original

[razberiix]

Lol billie was picked up! Aw

[GreenDayIsDaBestEver]

I wish i was there....i wud say "I FUCKING LOVE YOU BILLIE!!!"

[PaulGibson100]

3:33 That dude bangs his foot. hmmm 0.o

[EPerfect97]

its performances like this that make me stop what ever im doing(after finishing the video of course), pick up my guitar, and try to imitate this complete awsomeness

[Briannalovesmusic1]

[TheBestNewsTube]

FUCKING JEALOUS ;AAAAAA;

[pleasantnightmare21]

[IlyaBabansky]

Bieber has 2 accounts on youtube?

[Ankamaandre]

1:48 to 1:54 Billie was kind of " Hey Mike !... oh sorry wrong guy. " xD

[rankeeratsingh]

3:47

[billie5461]

[srpK12]

[Zeroprobabilityvids]

[bigrawb21]

@punkfreak1414 yea I noticed that too, it sometimes bothers me when they do songs and they don't sound the same lol

[punkfreak1414]

isnt this song in half step? im saying it becasue billie usaully uses his jrs for warning and up and thats all standerd...ik maybe he could of tuned it before the show but it just crossed my mind

[shelloz09]

Jesus.........they get better looking as they age...I hope I'm the same way

[wiciu329]

Szukałem i znalazłem Basket Case'a, ale teraz bedę szukał bez ludziów na scenie ;d

[MCRomg]

Lol Rebecca's fro is crazy xD

[nunocarneiroo]

I would give my Gibson Les Paul Robot Guitar for this Jr. :'x

[beingepicisepic]

[sayojake]

That one guy seems to really admire billie haha

[CombustingRainbow]

[SuperSayin824]

and besides, their having a whole lot of fun, u can tell

[SuperSayin824]

This to me, is the real Green day. Just 3 guys well 4 really, having the time of their life without a single care in the world, this is GREEN DAY, for get what type of music weather it be Dookie or American Idiot, or Nimrod or 21st Century Breakdown, its not about that, its about them being them, thats all their is to it......

[taurusk76]

@SuperSayin824 - It would be, if Jason White wasn't there.

[elaerningconsultant]

[shelloz09]

[marcusleonswadling]

[DrkLugia697]

WOW! this so amazing XDD i went , but i were far of the scenary, long live to green day !!

[rockswave88]

ONE YEAR AGO was the most amazing night for me because THIS happened! ♥ And NOW American Idiot ending on Broadway (and gonna tour) and I'll bet something THIS AMAZING is gonna happen AGAIN! AWESOME vid! thank you!

I wish MTV would've had another contest for the last night so I would've been able to see this again. lol

[Thecodi55]

Thank you again and again and again. Awsome vidio!

[Bunjamin27]

wow.. im shocked that they can still play as a trio.. its been what.. since 1997 since they played a show as a trio? Hopefully they'll do more shows as trio.

[Bunjamin27]

@Bunjamin27 oh, wait. I didn't see jason.. *le sigh* ugh. They need to get back to playing as a trio.. you know.. when they made GOOD music.

[magic8paul]

@Bunjamin27 they have always played music you stpuid sack of shit

[deuceloosely4711]

I was in NYC that Thursday morning through Monday.I had three Broadway shows on my itinerary (not of my choosing but it was my first time doing B'way). Friday night I'd JUST missed them coming out of the theater after getting out of Addams Family (xcellent show, BTW). Saturday I didn't have time to catch Green Day's side project in some Chelsea dive bar. Don't remember where they performed the next night but missed that, too (lack of funds). Still I met "St.Jimmy"" so that was cool.

[RexySeries07]

3:35 proves billie is short and weighs nothing

[UCFLauren]

Oh my goodness, haha. Declan Bennett freaking out when they started Basket Case is amazing.

[TheBillielover]

i love billies hair

[Fathom315]

It's weird hearing this song post-American Idiot style, but I like it! :)

[917mlbar]

this video is for people who say that Green Day isnt the same anymore,,,

THEY ARE!

[M15CY]

@917mlbar HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! WHY?! BECAUSE THEY PLAY A SONG ON ONE OF THEIR GOOD ALBUMS?

believe me. they are not the same. i could go out and get a mushrooom haircut if i wanted to, but that wouldn't make me the same as when was five years old.

[blossoms256]

Wow!You were so close!!Your so lucky!!

[LynnX9]

o my god, I miss Green Day!! Hope they will come soon to Europe!

[EveryoneCallsMeChris]

This is so cool. My goodness, they sound great. This had to be one of the highlights of your life!

[BleacherShotz]

Lucky. ):

[deee1971]

[PuNkRoCk4EvEr16]

[carlosmono5]

@PuNkRoCk4EvEr16 And in standard tuning

[newfoundlandidiot]

@PuNkRoCk4EvEr16 i was thinking the same thing, but i think there`s only one other time that i know of. when he performs basket case with elvis costello. just search "Green Day and Elvis Costello - Basket Case" :)

[DjLegoLas1]

@PuNkRoCk4EvEr16 second time for me... watch the performance with elvis costello

[dutyorpoop58734]

@PuNkRoCk4EvEr16 Thats exactly what i said but i put it like this "What The Fuck, is he using the Les Paul Junior, That's a First... Daaammmnnn....

[JaysonsCover]

@PuNkRoCk4EvEr16 He should definitely play it on his Gibson Les Paul Junior more often I play it on mine all the time and it sounds great!

[mikethesmooth]

[Freddkins1]

[Junkpunker21]

[joxhua27]

[giovmf]

[dukebullterrier]

i reckon the broadway cast are a bunch of soft cocks!!...fuckin hate their work!!

[orangejuiceeightysix]

@dukebullterrier You're so right. I mean, where's the pogo? Instead they're just hopping up and down like they would do in a musical version of Basket Case. That's just lame.

[diegonacho30]

wow the seats you got must have bin amazing :D

[etskura]

Emo hair, perfect features, and eyeliner! I mean, what more could you ask for? Joshua Kobak was pretty good as St. Jimmy, too, I guess. Emo hair + eyeliner = epic look.

[etskura]

When I went, I was sitting in the fourth row, very near the blasting speakers. I was so sad when I found out Tony Vincent was replaced. He's so hot..

[bastardgear8]

I'd hate to be a kid who wants to go on the play that day but his mom says tomorrow

[morbidsweetheart]

**tearface** i wanted to go and see American Idiot on Broadway...but didnt get the chance =( besides i doubt that they came to dallas anyways

[IAmNobodey]

[alyson0207]

[alyson0207]

[HyperArorea]

[panicwhenyouseeme]

[wwe2dragon]
