Fun Fact: This song was written for the guy who kicked Green Day out of Gilman Street (the place where they started) because they signed to a major label and released Dookie. You can really feel Billie's, Mike's and Tré's hate in this song, I bet Billie was thinking about that guy when he did this performance
@micheleny87 Yup. the geek stink breath website is not very reliable. The story is that Tim Yohannan pretended that he enjoyed the song Why Do You Want him? Tim said they weren't punk enough to play at Gilman. In 1997 Tim got cancer so Billie wanted it to kill him.
"I heard you're sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know you're going to die"
I love this song it's super energetic its an AWESOME song why don't they make music like this anymore this is a perfect song to hear when ur pissed off at someone. You just lock yourself in your room and turn it up full volume and scream your lungs out!!!!
@cpj93070 well no shit but they re invented the punk scene with their first couple albums they are nowhere close to the clash or ramones but those are some of their influences but they arent pop
@comoestasbien100 shut up you fucking cunt, piss off or ill piss all over ya you nazi fuck green day are shit compared to the clash you pug nose gimp.
@cpj93070 why on earth would he be a nazi based on the fact he or she likes green day? seriously waste of semen!!! moreover, you are kinda weird watching a green day video and commenting hate. how weird
Your rise and fall Back up against the wall What goes around is coming back and haunting you It's time to quit Cause you ain't worth the shit Under my shoes or the piss on the ground No one loves you and you know it Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want to hear. Cause I hate you Cause I hate you Cause I hate you Cause I hate you ^^^^^ best lyrics ive ever heard
Lol, at 3:18 Billie pushes down the camera-man beside him. He sings:
"When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave"
It's just so punk when he just sings carelessly after the bridge. It shows a lot of power. The lyrics of the song show power too like those of the Exploited. The footage of that camera-man must have been great and the one documenting or reporting on it (if there was) probably said "Green Day, a punk rock band from Oakland.".
How come Rancid still has videos that are only like the quality of this video?
I don't mean I want better quality videos. I was just wondering if I should continue complaining that Green Day has such clear videos nowadays because I thought that yeah, well we're getting more modern, what can we expect? But after seeing Rancid's recent live videos.. Yeah. Did Green Day really recruit better promotions? Man..
That's what I mean. Rich people can buy better quality cameras while the rest can't. Almost all of Green Day's fans who video have high quality cameras.
Anyways, I don't want to look like I'm ranting about a subject as pathetic as 'fans nowadays have the money to buy high quality cameras'.
But you have to ask, how would you be such a punk if you could afford that?
Dude everywhere I see you on youtube you are saying things like this... does it feel so good to be a bitch on the internet?
Yes, I AM only 14 years old, and I agree that small shows are more fun to go to but I don't think it's wrong to make succes out of something you love to do.
And wtf are you complaining about? the quality of vids?
Damn Green Day isn't punk, in my eyes they never have been, but come on, what does that matter? Just shut the fuck up
I'm not ranting about people like you. And everything's my opinion. I respect people like you. I myself am 15. It's just annoying how other people our age seem to be so ignorant in their choosing their songs. How many people have put half of American Idiot's songs in their 'Top 10 Green Day songs' videos? Because of that, haters see only one side of Green Day.
Who thinks I should sing the full song for my school talent show this year? Including the D***head, F***face, cock-smoking, mother-f***ing, a**hole, dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die!???
AND lol the story about "platypus" billie once said this in an interview once "I have a strong hatred twoards platypus's, they're ugly and i hate them so i wrote a song called platypus i hate you"
