  • Couldn't get into Candy Apple Grey at all when I was younger, coming back to a few years later its probably my favourite Husker Du album.

  • GREEN DAY sucks oh but wait you like methheads.thats what they were at 15 at Gilman St

  • @erock3377 Everybody in the scene was into that shit in the early/mid '90s. If you weren't, then you weren't there.

  • I'm a big fan of Green Day, and a fan of Husker Du too.

    But for those people who are posting comments about Green Day, you guys are in the wrong video (although yes, they did a cover of this song but that doesn't mean you're gonna post your shit here).

    Can we just listen to the music and stop arguing about being punk and whatnot since we're here for the music in the first place?

  • lol......lol! lol@all the comments ... HAhahA!

  • Husker Day? Green Du?

    and perhaps more importantly, who the hell really cares?

  • same riffs and drumming as greenday!

  • @sornostrasse As Husker Du were together in the late 80's I'm sure u mean Greenday sounds the same as them?

  • @1MizzKat1

    Green Day was around in the late 80s.

  • @sornostrasse surely you jest, sir.

  • @sornostrasse are you kiddin me?

  • @sornostrasse

    Not at all. The drumming and strumming sure - on Green Day's older material, not the new ballads they make. But what riffs? They have very similars strumming and drums but not riffs at all.

  • if it wasn't for Green Day, I wouldn't have found great music such as this. they helped me discover music, and steered me away from the modern day crap.

  • @shelloz09 such as green day?

  • Comment removed

  • its funny.....i hear green day & foo fighters in husker du.....two different bands in my opinion...

  • it's Hüsker Dü not Husker Du

  • Green Day are no more punk than MC Hammer was rap.

    This, however, is fucking amazing

  • I found this through my childhood.

  • does anyone else think that Green Day ripped some of the guitar of Basket Case off of this song?

  • Comment removed

  • I've listened to Husker Du for the last 5 years of my life. Just got dumped by the girl who I've been with for the last 4. This song is exactly what I'm feeling right now. I don't know if it makes me feel better or the opposite, but I'll be damned if Grant Hart didn't know exactly what this feels like.

  • Green Day are undoubtably amazing, you cant deny that.

    Just look at the albums they have sold, Billie Joe Armstrong is an amazing songwriter, even the greatest punk rock artists in the world know that.

    So shut up about Green Day because they are fucking outstanding!!

  • @JohnnyKnoxvilleX "look at the albums they have sold," what a tool.

  • @JohnnyKnoxvilleX nah they blow ass

  • @JohnnyKnoxvilleX Brittaney Spears sells records. What does that say about your theory?

  • @JohnnyKnoxvilleX Says a man with Johhny Knoxville in his username.

  • Fucking Cheryl Cole advert on a Husker Du video :\

  • fuck green day

  • Green Day doing this was cool of them. Period.

  • My dad was right, there guys are fucking great

  • Green day always had a way of changing them selfs without changing them selfs if you get me,and thats why they are still around and they have only gotten better with time ;)

  • I'm sure I'll be hated, but why are people talking shit about green day. They were pretty awesome in the 80's and 90's. Now stop looking at the comments and listen to the fucking awesome song.

  • nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Green Dat fuckin' blows. Grow up!

  • @lid107 fukin' blows!? kerplunk is one of the greatest independent albums of all time! and dookie practically pulled off punk revival by itself. which is why it ranks 193rd on the Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 albums.

    New Day Rising barely made it on the list too btw.

  • @lid107 dude, shut up

  • @shikapow64421 Their 80's and 90's stuff was good, but when they hit American Idiot, shit went down the drain.

  • @Acceptable76 i will totally agree with that. i mean, american idiot wasnt terrible but it dosnt compare to the earlier stuff. 21st century breakdown was crap

  • jesus christ even on husker du videos people are complaining about green day. i thought id come here to see one of the bands that green day was inspired by but i didnt expect all of the same stupid arguments (ok well i kind of did). if you wanna watch something more "punk" go find someone who's playing in their garage and hates making money

  • Thats a good song!

  • @HashMagician You sir, have just made the most sensible comment in this comment box.

  • I dont want to know your opinioooooooooooooon.

  • Gosh what memories

  • FUCK PITCHFORK AND HIPSTERS

  • CIPKE SE OGOLIŁAM

  • 8 people think this is Green Day's song

  • HUSKER DU FTW

  • used to skate to this lol .. awesome find

  • sorry kids, but ....HUSKER DU!

    

  • So.. do I have the RIGHT to watch this video here / listen to this song without having kiddies reminding me greenday covered it? Nope. So I don't see a problem telling them how much greenday is garbage compared to this either. Equal rights. That is all. Thanks!

  • i found Husker Du from Green Day. does it matter? no.

  • @TheNumberonecreedfan yes, yes i does.

  • @TheNumberonecreedfan As long as its made you realise the error of your ways, then no its fine, your on the right path now.

  • @bendfold Green Day is the best music that i've ever heard.

  • @TheNumberonecreedfan YES. Now die, lesser music fan person!

  • @FavouriteBit you're gonna tell me to die? wowww

  • @TheNumberonecreedfan yeah :P hahaha

  • Dude Husker Du Is One Of Green Day's Inspirations!

    of course they would do a cover!>.<

  • Mega City Four <3

  • i love the rhythm stagger step in this...

  • Green Day are "hipster approved". die pitchfork.

  • @LaLaGrunge You obviously have no idea what a hipster is...

  • everybody should shut the fuck up with Green Day bickering. it really doesn't matter on a husker du video. yeah, they did a cover of it. who cares? just listen to the fucking song.

  • You people that insult people who listen to Green Day shouldnt do that. If some kid that listens Green Day discovers Husker Du thru them that is great.

    I never listened to Green Day but I listened to Nirvana and thru them I discovered a lots of great bands like The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Husker Du, REM...

  • TO ALL THE FAGGOT ASS KIDS, FUCK OFF!

    GREEN DAY FUCKING SUCKS AND SO DO YOU! NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SHITTY GREEN DAY!

    THIS IS HUSKER DU, NOT SOME FUCKING EMO "PUNK" SHIT BAND.

  • @Clerks0 green day are a great band. so is Husker Du and so many other bands. but people like you seem to think they know everything about punk music and think they and they alone can say if a band is punk. Green day are punk no matter what people like you say.

  • @evonix4 green day is not punk.

    if you knew what punk is, you would have understood

    punk isn't dressing up like some goddamn emo clown and sing "Depressing" songs like those fuckers

    im not even going to argue with you, you have no fucking taste in music and you're probably 12 years old

  • @Clerks0 Shut your goddamn mouth you piece of shit. You got your opinion and he has his. Fuck off with your closed minded attitude and just shut it. This is a Husker Du video not a Green Day video so I don't even know or care why you're even talking about them. Enjoy the video, asshole.

  • @NOBadReligion you mad?

    p.s green day is for losers and faggots

    also

    the only good husker du album is zen arcade

  • @Clerks0 Funny you say that because bob mould is gay. You know the guy that plays guitar in this band.

  • @lookingatcrap the word faggot isn't really meant as a insult to gay people these days, you know

    it's like saying "damn, you're a faggot" when someone is too scared to do something etc

    it's pretty normal to say these days ,grandpa

  • Comment removed

  • @Clerks0 Great reasoning now go stand in the corner son 

  • @Clerks0 Okay? You sound like YOUR 12 kid.

    p.s. blow me

    also

    go fuck yourself because now your pissing of hardcore husker du fans you little cocksucker.

  • I think it sounds REALLY Green Day's style. If the title of the cover they did woudn't have said it actually was, I'd have thought it was another unrealeased song.

  • this song sounds so Ramones : i luv it

  • Can't we all just get along?

  • LISTEN TO THE FUCKING MUSIC. IF YOU LIKE IT THAN YOU LIKE IT. IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT THAN GOOD FOR YOU. NOBODY CARES WHICH YOU CHOOSE.

  • Most of early punk was pop influenced (Ramones, Clash, even the Sex Pistols had a lot of pop elements in their songs) and Joe Strummer (RIP) really liked Green Day.

  • @idospeakenglish Joe Strummer liked GREEN DAY? he's a cool guy then :)

  • Green Day just wanna show their respect to their influences! and thats just fucking OKAY! Bands have always done that and always will! Great Song

  • Only stupid 12 year old kids have a doubt about which version is better. Green day is bubble gum pop for the MTV generation, please dont ruin the good name and the integrity of a band like Husker Du, its like putting mcdonalds against a fancy 5 star restaurant in Paris, there is no comparison, green day should die.

  • People stop fighting over bands and how Greenday is good/bad or whatever. Greenday is punk too, maybe a different kind of punk, but still punk. One can argue that their older stuff stayed more true to the genre but that's it

    Instead of complaining about Greenday we should bitch at mainstream media outlets that say shit like Avril Lavigne is punk!

  • Greenday are pussies. the minute the local variety paper pushed them in the late 80's I knew the paper had sold out and that if this is what passed for punk, my career was over and punk was truly dead

  • fuck green day!

  • Saw Husker Su twice and all I can say is thanks Bob, Grant and Mickey! What great shows!

  • This is my firs album H°USKER DU - green day was allready confirmed as a punk band-it was 1997 I never like thi salbum - but today is one of my favorite!!! figured out later that green day made a cover..green day is great bend....

  • green day time line

    87 start

    90 awsome

    95 great

    00 good

    05 lacking

    10 21 century break down (that bad)

  • @systemofachemicalnir I mean, ppl rag on Green Day s much, they were a good fucking band in the early days, with Op. Ivy still around and shit...i realized they were starting to lose their shit with American Idiot....@21st fucking sucked! I still listen to 1039 slappy hours...

  • @13socalmizuno

    cant really say i hated american idiot cuz thats where i started with green day

    but after listenng to their older stuff it kinda woke me up

  • @brenhampsten brendan what are you talking about?

  • people need to realize theres a thing out there called an opinion

  • LOL kiddies. Greenday is a good band. And people have the right to like them and listen to them. And they have a right to do so without having to hear peoples opinions on the matter. Believe you me, it doesn't make you "more punk" to come to a Husker Du video and put down Greenday.

  • @313punk early Greenday were class (think they lost there way with the american idiot album) early offspring too (pre americana) ... Music snobs are pricks anyway but they are so so very Cool ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • @313punk dude, where are these rights listed anyway? in your mind which you presume to be the criterion of truth?

  • @truthemulator They're listed in The Constitution lol. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of hapiness. So what if someone is happy listening to Green Day? All I'm saying is if someone considers themselves a punk, and believes all that punk embodies, then ragging on someone who likes a band they don't is going against what punk stands for. But that all goes out the window when people realize that punk is a style of dress and a type of music and not a mindset or philosophy to live life by.

  • @313punk the constitution is just arbitrary rules, but thats besides the point. lets pretend everyone here is american. and let's nix any supposed fascist problems on my account and allot people to listen to green day. where in the constitution does it say we can't verbally pummel bands on youtube? what about freedom of speech? how does that mix with pursuit of happiness when people proclaim countering opinions to yours? furthermore, who are you to decide what is punk and what isnt?

  • @truthemulator You're absolutley right Mr. Emulator. I've converted my opinion to match yours. Green Day sucks and now I'm almost as hardcore as you, but not quite because now I'm a conformist for changing my beliefs so you'll stop verbally owning me on YouTube. Wanna come to my house and listen to some Flipper records?

  • Comment removed

  • @truthemulator Agreed. Please school me more.

  • @truthemulator Agreed. Please school me more. I love your posts.

  • @313punk Not exactly. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are mentioned in the Declaration of Independence which has no real legal weight in the United States. The fifth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution protect the individual from being deprived of life, liberty, or PROPERTY without due cause.

    Cheers

  • @tristhan1181 Thank you. You sure are smart.

  • @tristhan1181 Thank you. You sure are smart.

  • @313punk

    "it doesn't make you "more punk" to come to a Husker Du video and put down Greenday".

    it kind of does though.

  • @conventgsp If you need to feel like you're more punk than someone by putting them and Green Day down then go nuts.

  • I first saw Green Day in 1991, when they played a show in Sioux Falls, SD at a little community center named Nordic Hall. They were living out of their van and travelling like mad men. Whatever success they have had has come from extremely hard work. Living so close to Minneapolis, I was also able to see Husker Du play several times. With so many terrible bands out there today, these two are the last ones anyone should be criticizing.

  • .. Green Day led me here, so stfu.

  • @viszokaib gotta love that old school snare! sooooooooooooooo crisp

  • Husker Du...one of my favorite bands ever. Love this song. I don't like Green Day. But seriously people, live and let fucking live. Green Day can cover this song if they like. If you don't want to hear it, then don't listen to it. That's what I do.  Jebus!

  • "Death to all but metal" - Ok...go kill yourself then as you're a weedy fag who uses hair straighteners and wears eyeliner. METALCORE SUCKS. Husker Du don't.

  • Greeday can fuck off

  • @sunchild90 Who's Greeday? Not sure who they are. Fuck you.

  • @sunchild90 Your mom can fuck off

  • @guitarfreak159 my mom can do a lot of things

  • Pretty good song.

  • Fuck Green Day!

  • To much hate on this page greenday exists. Get over it people.

  • To much hate on this page

  • Heard it on Adventureland, instantly a new favorite song. Mint

  • YES, this version is better than the Green Day cover, BUT that doesn't mean the Green Day one is bad.

  • @TheJial1796 greenday are pretty bad...

  • @sunchild90 Yeah. So send me a download link bro, you know to YOUR platinum records? I'm assuming you have some if you really have the stones to judge anyone elses music. I'll be waiting, I'd love to hear it. Fuckass.

  • don't be stupid, only the real mega, rad, kickass bands like Greenday and Nickleback get such an honour.

  • @sunchild90 Stupidity branches from ignorance created by people who actually sit there and have nothing better to do than pull apart fans of other bands, and the music of other bands. I'm a musician myself, and highly respect all others that play and write; but that doesn't mean I like everything. Tearing apart a fan because they like different music than you is the equivalent to tearing apart someone because they believe in a different God than you. Sometimes, it's just what makes people happy.

  • @masterofjustice88 I'm ignorant? For choosing listing to music that's not on heavy rotation on the radio? I think it's just the opposite my friend. For the level that Greenday are on there a pretty talentless band.

  • @sunchild90 Really? Post a video of you playing HALF of the solos on 1,039 smoothed out slappy hours- or does your ignorance prevent you from even KNOWING what that album is? Sorry you were disappointed with the THREE Green Day songs they ever play on the radio (21 guns, basketcase, and when I come around) but maybe you should broaden your horizon and span your listening to the rest of their career. You are a fool...I can't believe I even dignified you with a response. Enjoy your life.

  • @boognish1 most bands and artists go through that at some point in their careers man there are a lot of good bands out there that still tour in their vans and dont have shit... probably youre just not hanging around anymore... they became complete sellouts playing emo shitty "punk rock" so no they don't have my respect

  • glad i grew up with husker du

  • I wish I could Dislike Video Responses ↑

  • Comment removed

  • Adventureland!!

  • Why green day sucks? they made a cover of this song, what means they listen good music, and i listen green day and HUSKER DU<3

  • When I heard this song first it was 2 years ago,I was sitting in my room at 4 or 5 am,without sleep and I heard this song on the radio.I liked the song a lot and at least it cheered me up a bit.

  • This is original version is just phenominal!

    I don't see why so many people are getting offended so easily by people raggin on Green Day. So what, there are a bunch of people out there who hate a band you love, big deal, get over it.

    If you were really 'punk', you wouldn't give a fuck what they thought about Green Day because the fact that you love then is all that matters.

    That said, I don't care for Green Day at all, but that's just me.

    Long Live the music of Hoosker Dew!

  • I think the passion I get from music is opening myself to new genres and music, also music from different decades. Some posts on here are completely invalid but whatever Im not stopping you from posting. Green Day and Husker Du both excellent!

  • Green day is not punk rock

  • @UltrasKorcula Fuck you too, imagine that Green Day fans like me also like old punk like Buzzcocks or Clash. Who cares if it's new or old. It's fucking great music.

  • @GreenDookieDay MORON?I said nothing against you and I don't want to fight I just said the truth.They are great band i like their songs but they have nothing with punk they are commercialistic rock!!!!!

  • Hating on green day is cool huh? Makes you feel important?

  • This and "Makes no sense at all" are thier best songs imo

  • Adventureland.

    

  • @nzl011 had a fucking mindblowing soundtrack

  • husker du the best bad EVER!

  • @Iamthemessiah23 I have tons of songs like that. Like Sour Grapes by the Descendents

  • Great song, I'm glad they're re-releasing it, along with Green Day's cover. Speaking of Green Day, they even used the same font for their Warning: album. Two great bands.

  • Revolting Grapes, they've only been together like 6 months...they remind me a lot of Husker Du.

  • Without Green Day i wouldn't have known this song, wouldn't have known Husker Du, and many other bands.

  • @DarkGuitarKid, I agree. I also discovered this song and Husker Du through Green Day. People need to stop hatin on GD so much!

  • @DarkGuitarKid Green Day kicks ass.

  • @DarkGuitarKid dito, most of my musical taste originates from green day

  • @mTmFilms Give me 5 legitimate non-subjective reasons you don't like Green Day.

  • @mTmFilms Seriously fuck you

  • @mTmFilms Wait, what the what? Green Day covered this song? Are we completely POSITIVE that armageddon hasn't come and passed and that we are all in some sort of hell?

  • @mTmFilms seriously fuck you

  • @mTmFilms you make me sad dude... seriously, think big. to have a band like green day (whom we all know have gone to shit over the past few years) play a cover of a good husker song give the original band major props!

  • @mTmFilms seriously fuck you

  • @mTmFilms uk wut i dont get why all u fucking idiots are ruining the comments board by arguing like little bitches.its about time we stop whining about a little comment.if u dont like a comment then spam or sumthin but bands like green day and husker du deserve a little more respect god dammit

  • @mTmFilms u say fuck green day i say fuck u self and get some ears! your fat geek! i think your mothers boobs hanging? you should suck them up again..

  • @jepp2697 Bleach your ears and your throat.

  • @jepp2697 get a lobotomy while you're at it too, btw.

  • @DarkGuitarKid because u suck

  • @DarkGuitarKid Green Day covered this? I didn't know that.
