American Idiot Cast performing "Good Riddance" on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

[DeutschrockDani]

1:08 - 1:18 best moment *_*

[NerdyMusicianify]

0:58-1:02

what happened?

[TheBenAppleby]

Declan Bennett <3 all the other's are either flat... or boring...

[FallKABOOM]

GERARD.

[08085356]

They are not singing, know why? THEY DON'T HAVE A MICROPHONE haha lol

[merbethmango]

@08085356 yeah they do. it's attached to the clothes and/or warps around their heads...

[merbethmango]

@08085356 correction: wraps. sorry. i type fast. haha

[svdewalde17]

its Libby Winters, love her voice 2

[JesusOfSuburbia42]

I Feel Like they Should Have Played Macys Day Parade : )

[ILuvBillieJoe2004]

Gerard is sexy!!! and John is adorable cute

[WargamRecord]

0:29 ! Love her voice it's just amazing !

[christherocker98]

that was fucking stupid, they were all lip syncing and billie joe wasnt playing.

[Curlingkingz]

@christherocker98

Yeah, their lip syncing is just stupid, and billie joe as St.Jimmy was awesome. But in their defense, BJ wasn't an original cast member. The real dissapointment was that Tony Vincent wasn't there, imo the better St. Jimmy.

[manny27999]

Everytime I hear this song I tear up.

[BeyongWetalist]

0:29 love her voice

[reverenfender]

I would kill to be in that musical.....

[SuperBlueipod]

@reverenfender i would kill to see that musical haha

[reverenfender]

@SuperBlueipod lol its amazing i saw it in april its going on tour nxt yr i think catch it then lol

[StJimmy2568]

they are all using epiphone guitars

[Wildone995]

@StJimmy2568 so?

[StJimmy2568]

@Wildone995 just saying. 

[DNEsBandPage]

Shouldnt they be singing Macy's Day Parade?

[unfabulous386]

lovelovelovelovelovefrigginlov­e. <3

[diamond19971]

its recorded

[diamond19971]

its recorded

[KurtTheGuitarPlayer]

2 of these people have a Gibson... But the others have Epiphone...

[NorwaysSuburbia]

EPIPHONE HUMMINGBIRD! :D <3 ma guitar right there

[noalocholrequired]

alright, for all of you people that keep saying "this sucks ass. i hate lip-synching and they arnt even playing correct guitar chords" have you shits been to new york city in the winter? it is fucking freezing. cold tempuratures+voices don't mix plus these people have to perform 14 shows a week. i want you all to try and sing above 400,000 people without blowing you vocal chords and playing guitar strings that are so cold that by the time youre finished playing your fingers look like shreds.

[juliac92]

there are only a few people playing guitars, the others are acting.

[rabricci2]

I'm gonna call bull crap cuz they don't have any mics

[1018bandgeek]

@rabricci2 I agree with noalcoholrequired This is extremely well done for the circomstances

[MCRomg]

I love Rebecca so much.

[SheilaTwinkies]

2:00 haha^^

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

I was at this parade in person. It was awesome.

[MG21749]

this crowd is fucking on something.. they're not even moving!!!

[HeadLoong]

i can hear tony vincents voice, but u cant see him....

[pinkypurple1234]

who sings first?

[KattjaNOR]

@pinkypurple1234 The first guy who's singing is Gerard Canonico ;)

[mangakaification]

100 % PLAYBACK

[548latino]

wats up with the dude at 1:20 playing country

[Cappilover]

@548latino its not country? 

[mclovin2780]

Don't let that black chick sing this song...she sucks

[mclovin2780]

@mooneclipse2010 not really racist. more judgmental than anything

[MrsArmstrong21]

i luvthe whole cast with all my heart this is so amazing!!!!!! i wish the show was still on Broadway...

[XxnaudxX]

i swear to god i only can hear the black chick sing good voice but it overpowers everyone else

^_-

[Beezaboy]

Thats a lot of Epiphone acoustics. i bet they got them for free

[StarsHockeyChica]

@KattjaNOR Declan Bennett.

[KattjaNOR]

What's the name of the guy on 0:34-0:36? The guy with the bleached blonde hair.

[sonicuproar2000]

i remember BTR lip syncing there...good times...

[KattjaNOR]

Michael Esper <3 It's so sad that he's gonna quit :'(

[therocker2552]

@KattjaNOR oops, sry... some1 told me that was him.

[KattjaNOR]

@therocker2552 It's okay ;) Tony Vincent is/was St. Jimmy ;) He's no longer in the musical.

[DNEsBandPage]

@KattjaNOR its now the guy from AFI

[jonkim27]

John Gallagher Jr. was hilarious at the end, just the position he was in XD no hate intended at all

[CPSHOWTV]

They are not actually playing the guitar. Obviously.

[Cappilover]

I love Espers Solo :) <3 fav. part

[therocker2552]

HOLY CRAP THEYRE LIPS DONT MATCH TEH WORDS......

[therocker2552]

@KattjaNOR he's the one with the blond streak in his hair.

[carlybolton]

@therocker2552 Thats Chase Peacock ,not Tony Vincent.Tony wasnt there this day

[KattjaNOR]

@therocker2552 I know who Tony Vincent is but that's Chase Peacock....

[mega48man]

ok, 2 things; at the end, he should of held the flag upside down, would of made moar sense. second, i find it disturbing that the company that made me understand the lyrics to 21 guns which broke me down inside can sing good riddance with such a smile on their face. it's another break up song, not a cya later song.

but i just listened to the entire broadway recording straight through, i'm not dissing them or anything, this vid is just so left field for me

[iamvalerielane]

awesome performance!

great harmonies!

and it really showcases their amazing talents well!

[SkyWalkerOptimuko]

0:00 - 2:00 THE BEST PART! ! !

[KattjaNOR]

I hear Tony Vincent's voice but he's not there...

[MrZcornett]

I love this! Amazing Cast!!!!!

[ssanrock97]

i liked the first guy

[meemsy1039]

. obviously you dont like green day as much as you say u do if ur shit talking this play. green day worked on this play themselves, this is how green day made it sound and look. they hand picked these people to be in the play. so if uu dont like it who gives a fuck? its green days vision not yours and id appreciate if you shut the fuck up. thanksss

<3

[meemsy1039]

this isnt spsd to be green day and theyre not ripping off green day. theyre purpose is to convey the story of american idiot. to all you assholes below me shit talking the play: SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[jenniferfeliciano66]

@meemsy1039 Yeah! its not like someone just took the songs and made it into a play. Green day was a part of making it too.So green day approves which means that its not really ripping off.People should stop talking shit and spend time doing their research.

[hilaryedy2]

OK NICE

[bordummonster]

I saw them on Broadway, and was AMAZED when at the end the entire cast walked out and started playing this song!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

[LikesTheLastDay]

unbelievable !

[shewantstogotousa]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

[BTBHSOHBOY]

Wow. Just Wow

[checkyesjuliet321]

this is amazing!!!

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

I got to see this parade. Awesome!

[reverenfender]

thumbs up 4 girl guitar players

[fenderstratlover09]

you guys should make your own musik and don´t play so pften the same song(wich is beautiful)

P.s.: sorry for my englisch (german)

[glamourgirl2411]

Hey guys!

Does anybody know of a good review of 21st century breakdown?

Thx.

[biddy96]

no just no

to many losers with guitars

i want billie joe

[GeekBrainStew]

damn, its like an epiphone pumpkin patch

[GeekBrainStew]

damn, its like an epiphone pumpkin patch

[Assassinator15]

this completly sucks. only billie joe can actually sing these songs

[TheKnightBus218]

Didn't they do Holiday as well?

[whoahippo]

were they lipsynching

[allisonwonderrand]

Dear John Gallagher Jr.,

I love you.

That is all.

[StarSonata10]

1:18 lol

Suppose to be an eletric guitar

but.. what the hell... Its still awesome :D

[Chicochicka07]

Moritz pose at 2:00. <3

[merbethmango]

@Chicochicka07 omg you're right ! haha ! that IS a moritz pose at 2:00 :)

[nimroddk]

es una mariconada...

[DanteBlack2274]

i like the Green Day only version better, but this is still an amazing performance. it takes some serious balls to sing an play guitar on live TV, an the fact that they had so much pressure on them an they did so well is crazy.

i hope they do more Green Day stuff in the future!

[annastargirl]

I love you guys....I'm on the other side of the world but I love you:) :) :) ahahhahha:)

[Patt2417]

i swear i only hear 1 guitar...

[matidawi]

@Patt2417 Go to the doctor.

[SmartParts1125]

@Patt2417 then you sir have hearing problems.

[monkeyvine]

I love the part at 1:14 it's so cool!

[monkeyvine]

I love this tooo!!! And john is really cute in here :) <3

[merbethmango]

@monkeyvine john is really cute anywhere :)

[clubsupporter]

@1:05 Who's the man on the left side with his red and black sweather? I hope that some one can tell me his name x

[MyMindsAlive]

@clubsupporter that's Chase Peacock :)

[MultiKappy]

what name girls singing as a 4 ??

[MyMindsAlive]

@MultiKappy you mean the 4th singer at the beginning of the song? That's Libby Winters.

[lifetimeperformer]

@MultiKappy It goes, Gerard... Wallace... Miguel... Libby(:

[MultiKappy]

her name as the girl sings in the order as the fourth

Poslech ?? pls

[xkilagramx]

this was live?

[smileymiley111]

ahhh! this is terrific!

but what happens if your left handed? :p lol

[fosterzgreat]

sorry but that just made me puke

[MakeupBySav]

@estimaze nobody in the macys daqy parade actually sings. everyone HAS to lipsing. if you actually went to see the show, you would hear how they sound exactly like this live. probably even better

[estimaze]

Weird how there are no microphones....or cords connecting their guitars to amps.....huh...

Im a huge green day fan....but I fucking hate lip syching.

[estimaze]

Weird how there are no microphones....or cords connecting their guitars to amps.....huh...

[noalocholrequired]

@estimaze i want you to try and sing over 400,000 people and be heard by everyone of them without blowing your vocal chords.

[estimaze]

@noalocholrequired Hence using microphones and speakers.

[BurnyFiona]

Bullshit

[lovemehateme318]

omg i <3 themmm!!!!!! :D Chase Peacock is AMAZING!!!!!!

[DookieAdz]

why did green day get the High School Musical treatment?!

for fuck's sake leave it alone!

[insomniacPT]

It's like Macys Day Parade song becomes alive :D

[godlove2006]

yay stark!

[fenderjackson73]

grr i hate this musical shit, i mean they're all obviously very talentented but it just seems to cheesy to me.. its like none of them have any attitute :/

[Rijnes]

I don't like lip sync :(

[greendayisgooooodd]

wouldnt it make sense to play macys day parade at....the macys day parade

[matidawi]

@greendayisgooooodd No, because it's not Macy's Day Parade, It's Macy's THANKSGIVING Day Parade.

No, it's not the same.

[EarthUntilDawn]

@greendayisgooooodd that's exactly what I was going to say!

I guess they didn't wanna play it since a lot of the people watching wouldn't recognize the song. haha

[DeadMoose01]

@greendayisgooooodd it's also because they don't have that song in the show... they play this one at the end of every show.

[13GreenQueen]

booya

[HitchinToPasalacqua]

I hate lip sync, I just think that Green day would never have lip syncs.... And I hate the fact that the cast of American Idiot did it, even if every act in the macy's day parade does it.

[Imdawn1]

This is so beautiful! LOVE the harmony. I keep playing this over and over.

[Imdawn1]

This is so beautiful! LOVE the harmony. I keep playing this over and over.

[HelloHollywood1996]

most amazing song but its better original

[GoingToPasalacqua12]

what a load of shit

[snorrijons]

0:22 and 1:32 you can clearly see they're playing the wrong chords. The guy at 1:32 plays the entire song half a step to high and doesn't even notice it...

[BiLLiEJoEisH0Txo8]

@snorrijons okay... but some of them actually are playing guitar. not all of them. but some of them. even in new york not all of them play guitar. but theyre still amazingly talented. and if you can’t realize that, then there’s clearly something wrong.

[snorrijons]

@BiLLiEJoEisH0Txo8 Yeah, they are talented, I can't argua against that. I'm just saying that it's too obvious that some of them are not playing the guitar. I'm a huge Green Day fan and I love everything the AI cast does, but sometimes it's a little too obvious who's playing and who's not.

[BiLLiEJoEisH0Txo8]

@snorrijons okay. :D yeah, you’re right. it is kinda obvious. even in the show in new york a few of them worn’t playing. but yeah, i still admire them beyond belief. theyre amazing<3

[Christinagreenday]

i love it !!! but i still think Good Riddance at Milton Keynes back in 2005 was the best performance of this song... anyway, is the same thing: GREEN DAY ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GreenDayandMuse]

Really nice that is how a concert or a musical should be xd

[HeidyArmstrong]

Amazing guys great!

[greendaylistener0014]

I love it But the orginal is still the best:)

[HappyMadisonDude]

His is great!!! I saw the show in August with OBC and I wanna go again!! I love Miguel's hat lol

[piloj123]

would have been fun if they played macys day parade on macys day parade :D :D

[cerenthekoala]

Thanksgiving is a part of unneccessary payment and american idiocy.now I can't really understand what green day was against to in 2004 and how they are acting like now.I won't really try to explain everything clearly but you can't regret that many things they do are a total contradiction together.Billie Joe was always right about one thing;he's a "walking contradcition".I'm still a big fan of the band,but what they're doing now really dissappoints me.

[JuulYT]

Awesome like always -

[Janiina97]

Great!! The people are great!!

[hbomb2704]

they should have performed macys day parade haha. yeah they did lip sync. every act does. i remember seeing idina menzel and kristin chenoweth on it and they DEFINTELY lip sanc so i think every act does

[Melissa2087]

I wanted to get close to see them but it was blocked off. How did those people get those seats back there?

[Joberooni]

that kinda sucked.

[HTownCountryFan]

This was my class song five years ago.

[OneManArmy228]

I tried to go see this but we couldnt get close enough. :( we heard the sound checks and then we heard them perform but it was impossible to get close enough to see

[ImJustAnotherEmily89]

Was great.

[GraffMan95]

every single act in the macy's day parade lip syncs.

[pipoandrea]

it was lyp sync for sure!! they dont have microphones!! O.O

[kTangso]

@pipoandrea

i just noticed that too. still a good performance though

[anotherpoint0fview]

@pipoandrea They have mics clipped to their shirts and jackets.

[KMcPANSY]

very nice, but i think they were lip syncing...

[PetterMyhr]

too... many... guitars.... Still awesome:)

[spikeman316]

sounds like a bounch of douchebags

[Skittle8888]

love this!!! <3 they are amazing! :D

[suzyjacuzzi6791]

love, love, love mister john gallagher jr. <33

[demonballoon]

im one of the biggest american idiots out there and i still think they shouldv sang macys day parade i makes more sense than good riddance

[suzyjacuzzi6791]

@demonballoon they have never played that as a cast. or, at least, it's never been on youtube or anything. but, it would be pretty awesome. XD

[demonballoon]

@suzyjacuzzi6791 i think they shuldv practiced it at the least

[paige3406]

Thanks so much for posting this! I missed it this morning :) Absolutely beautiful!

[juloph]

the first and first and fifth guy can't sing >.<

well, they don't do Billie Justice at all!!

[EmppuRocks]

@juloph Hating on Gerard and Declan, the two (objectively) best men in the ensemble?

What, what, what are you doing?

[emmabugsmama]

sounds like too many American Idiots are critics here.
