Green Day "Johnny B Goode" cover

[BulldogsRule12]

I hate green day but thought this was a well done modern interpretation of the song. 

[Qoooba95]

hah i would never suppose that bj can play something more than power chord ..

[80rockforever]

i like the original better but this is a very good cover,,,that is all

[UltimateBadAssesUBA]

i love tomas haake..but that drummer is insanely fast!!

[MrMusical3]

i love green day, love the song, love chuck berry, but this was not a good cover for them to do

[FOUSA12345]

i bet not even one of their fans knew this song :D

[RollOnToVictory]

nice cover!

[XBOXrock]

Xbox Rock covered Green Day covering Chuck Berry :-)

and added a flight of bumblebeee hahaha

just watch youtube.com / xboxrock

[Sfirekid9]

<3

[SpeedDemon2468]

green day made it different.

but its like alien ant farm beat it.

its not right ayt all

[vanglaurent]

This song was originally written in 1955 I believe, and here 55+ years later, it's still closing the show of one of the biggest bands in the world. Chuck should be more than proud. Plus, I can't help but have a flashback to "Back to the Future" every time I hear this song, no matter who plays it.

[RocknRollRules3]

My god, Green Day are so shit they do not deserve to cover this.

[MrSoseiqnadasei]

@RocknRollRules3 oh fuck you....you don`t`now nathing about green day

[RocknRollRules3]

@MrSoseiqnadasei I know how shit they are. American Idiot is probably the worst album I've ever heard. They maybe have one good song, something about the Judge's daughter from their very early stuff? The rest is shite. Shite singing, drumming and guitars.

[heresjoshy1]

the best one of johnny b goode in my opinion would have to be the michael j fox version in back to the future

[RocknRollRules3]

@heresjoshy1 Is it fuck xD

[johnbeauchemin]

Wow... I don't like Green Day at all, but this is a decent cover.

[charliemurphyslaw]

Not a big fan of green day but this is a good cover.

[Twinhit]

It's cool Green Day thinks enough of Chuck Berry to play this benchmark song.

Chuck's original recording is still the best version for me. You can only imagine how that sound must have been when you've never heard anything like it before. It was a HUGE departure from the then norms. I don't think we will see ever such a departure like that again.

[1960unclemort]

i`m not to familiar with green day (although what i`ve heard i like)but its o.k to see `em do a old classic as an encore, as `keef` said if rock`n`roll had another name it would be chuck berry

[Longview3005]

what billie say at the beginning???

[Hylianbowcaster]

Got to give him kudos for recognizing their roots.

[kelmandevil]

to all you guys yelling "blasphemy" and "this sucks" really don't have a clue

what a props to chuck berry that all these years later a band like green day (whom I love) can play this song for an audience that came to see them and their style of music and just bring the house down.

Its a great tribute, and I bet Chuck would agree with me, quit being so small minded

[mrmixjay]

@kelmandevil

[MrAndresGB]

@kelmandevil Amen Brother

[durtyrckstr]

@kelmandevil are you a dumb shit? everyone who covers this song is giving him props. BUT THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST SHIT OF A COVER I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. I WISH I COULD HAVE MY 1:32 SECONDS OF MY LIFE BACK.

[Alixander1990]

Where is the second verse?

[R3DR4Y]

@Alixander1990 it's tricky to sing so they skipped it lol

[mmendel46]

Wow, it works surprisingly well as a punk song.

[jboidope]

sounds terrible

[FEEDER87]

BLASPHEMY!

[ReadR00ster1]

Agreed! These guys are punks! oh...

[joshuk666]

lol sounds prety good as a punk rock song, dunno wat chuck bery would think of it tho :L

[curlywavy18]

I always thought they should do a cover of this song. And I knew they would rock it. That was awsome. I love this song.

[Magicguy15]

YEAH PLAY IT BILLIE!

[samuel2041]

liked it

[Psycho1922]

THIS IS THE MOST FUCKED UP THING I EVER HEARDD!!! They kill johnny!!! That second voice in "Go, Johnny Go, go" Totally ruin it.

[SlashManEXE]

This is punk rock. If you can't live with it, then get the fuck out.

[igvu92]

green day isnt punk rock period

u want real punk rock listen to johnny thunders nad the heartbreakers

[SlashManEXE]

No thanks.

[igvu92]

thats because ur a gunz n roses loving loser

[SlashManEXE]

When did we start talking about Guns N' Roses again? Why don't you stay on topic or flame somewhere else.

[TEAMOPIRATA]

GREAT SHARE!

[Evan12345678]

i think they did a good job changing the song. it is very different, obiously, but it still sounds good

[leg1978]

well its Greenday.. would you expect them to play it classic? covers aren't supposed to be an exact copy, otherwise what would be the point.

i also prefer the classic version, but hey isn't it just nice to play this live?? goosebumps and a "hell yeah!!"

[kelmandevil]

@leg1978 well said

[aMemoria]

I'm not saying the cover is great, it's not in comparison to the traditional song. But you have to take into consideration they're keeping the old song alive wheras so many bands out there are polluting music with mainstream influence.

In a nutshell, cover isn't great but it's good that they played it anyway so the crowd have some idea what real music used to be.

[conadavo]

I'm just wondering... how could they have killed something that's immortal??

[suizo92]

Que forma de estropear un clasico!!!! fuck!!!

[Verdigo76]

Oh my God they killed it. They hit it with a mack truck and backed over it a few times. Pissed on it, poored their cheap canadian beer on it, and lit it on on fire.

[Kiksiaantje]

what the hell are you guys talking about?

they made a great cover;

[LizaKimoto]

Go to hell... >:(

[Emofan82294]

look im fucking tired of all yall assholes saying greenday sucks are something. its a cover for them thier not Chuck Berry soo fuck yall

[PanndaKat]

I like Green Day but this isn't very good, they kind of murdered the song very brutally.

[scallywag86]

the worst part about this band is that they think they`re iconic just because they called themselves punk. They`re no better than any other cookie-cutter crap-ass band like nickelback.

They were too pretentious to be the ramones, they lacked the innovation of the sex pistols and they were too simple and light to be the stooges.

[k0stil]

this cover fuckin sucked my cock,

the only thing that was good is a piano solo,that`s it!

[shortyzsly]

That was actually not half bad...i mean they dont even practice that song coz its just a cover they done on the spot really when ya think bou it....Good for somethin they just pulled outta their asses!

[DdavizX]

El R&R es para todos, pero éstos CSM no pueden tocar esa canción y luego sacar sus estúpidos discos para niños que no saben nada de música

GREEN DAY SUCK!

[EinNeffe1]

come on! its just for the feeling!

[BluesRocker52]

The lead guitarist plays this cover like crap. He got paid for this? He ain't no Alvin Lee. Just shows what a pawn shop guitar and 5 lessons can get you today. And kids pay $80 a ticket for this? Insane!

[spati89]

hey ya right mangkyou billie joe really looks like josh oh damn!!!

This sucks dont get me wrong i like green day

[BluesRocker52]

People actually pay money to hear these "musicians?"

[principedelamafia]

yeah and they play really damn good

[laamaposse]

Hope not

[landersonfilms]

this sucks almost as mutch cock as coldplay covering here comes the sun

[RJmacpot720]

u lying they did dat? fail

[shareschannel]

there better than you

[THEPARTYGUY6767]

FUCKIN TERRIBLE

[mangkyou]

the vocalist looks like josh... from "drake & josh" u know..

[XxxILoveGreendayxxX]

..ok..why do you all say this is a "shitty cover"

tell me one good reason..!

i'll bet you wouldnt do it better..

[Auronjecht]

what a shitty cover..

[justcheer19]

people need to calm down. I like hearing them do covers no matter what they sound like because it's cool to hear them do something different

[jedioffunk]

these guys live are fucking awesome

[TheFrogSplash]

sex pistols cover is the best one !!!!! hahaha xDDD

[SiIlyLoveSongs]

A stonking version of this can be found at

The Pirates - Johnny B. Goode (Rockpalast 1979)

classic

[crubbish123]

i mean like greenday dont get me wrong but they shudnt have done this really shudnt have done it i mean i have herd worse covers but still no leave it alone let chuck have this one cuz u just wont win

[jttj123]

i agree with you man but they did do a good job i like green day and i love chuck

[OscarPetersonFan]

I know this is not the best version, but I think they should play more like this. I like it more than their usual music.

[vidmsc]

They were just paying tribute to Berry I think. Like Elvis, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Jimi Hendrix etc... the song will always be Chuck Berry's.

[JimiHendrixLegend123]

SHITe SHITE SHITE, Live on chuck berry

[Ozziguy6]

its a tribute to him, get over it.

[JimiHendrixLegend123]

a tribute far from that,

green day are shit,

this cover is shit,

they ruined a classic

fag

[jedioffunk]

obviously they arent shit because theyve sold over 10 million albums, so shut the fuck up wanna be classic rocker

[JimiHendrixLegend123]

OH SORRY, WOAHH THEY SOLD 10 MILLION,

TAKE THAT HAVE SOLD 5 TIMES THAT, now dont you feel stupid

[headfirst4halos9]

DOOKIE sold more than 10 million albums. As a whole, they have sold over 30 million albums!

[ccsgirl12]

Another reason why green day should call themselves gay day =P

(Its all about the back to the future version .=D)

[GliTCH11]

Boo! There's like no soul to it, it's really hollow and seems just thrown together, and then they tried to put their mark on it but their changes sucked even more. I actually like Greenday, but they sure know how to fuck up a classic.

[pickletheif123]

green day sucks. they don't even deserve to wipe chuck berry's ass...the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that know i know that douche bag can play lead guitar, but he and the rest of them are sell outs so they don't play anything difficult on their own stuff. it's just about the money for them, not the music. they are douchier than i previously assumed

[Karissima1]

Nobody can sing this song better than Chuck Berry, in my oppinion.

[R3DR4Y]

@Karissima1 I agree, and I also think he ruined the intro, but the drums and quick tempo are just awesome in my opinion :D

[mutarrr]

@Karissima1 and michael j. fox lol

[sKaXz]

@Karissima1

experience fail.

[kakakunuka]

@Karissima1

well marty mcfly did it pretty good in back to the future/

green day never were a rocknroll band than i dont expect it from them

[XxToHellAndBackxX]

@Karissima1 and no one can spell opinion as wrong as you

[Hewb1]

how is this a bad cover?

i mean they had good guitar-ing

and pianist.

maybe it was billie singing lol

i dont know

but i liked it

[aalssami]

i totally agree with you,

they really did quite well!

at least not bad..

but of cuz, can't compare with chuck and there is no point to compare

[antispamp]

they are good on rock, but rock & roll chuk... thats no for you kids... good try

[orsontan95]

hhaha, he said "new orlens"

[1krubles]

They suck!

[harryp757]

marty mcfly did alot better

[elvispresleylover123]

lol they make a good song bad

[vendetta468]

eww, this is just badd

[elvispresleylover123]

thye suck lol!

[markknopfler96]

già dal viso e da come suona la chitarra ti metto1*!!!!!!!

[krystian167]

GD is fuckin sux.

[5teady]

Well they fucked that up didnt they???????

[flasciuu]

oh my God they totally sucks!!FUCK GREEN SHITS

[onlener]

they suck so bad no soul or passion in any of there music

[ChrissyCrazzy]

Ouch.

[sexxiicutter]

its a little fast... but its not bad besides that

[jackassmby]

now that's how you disgrace something

[HERZOG28]

Wie kann man so ein Lied so verhunsten...

[floppyflaccidpenis]

bit random, eventhough i like greenday i definately wouldn't have this on the list of top ten covers for them to do lol

[hord50]

GREEN DAY SUX

[mrmixjay]

@hord50

[matthayas]

Why do they have to make such a beatiful song this bad?

[RetardedYak]

lol its kind of ironic they made a song called "American Idiot" and then they play this

[shadow120887]

i know what u mean u know for a second i thought this was before the cd but once i saw the bass drum i was like nvm lol

[Adler1825]

go green day

[TFKofBD]

the disto is a lil too heavy in my opinion

[12RileyHarris34]

Not a bad cover but still not as gud as Chuck!

[alex13256]

this is to insult but in a awesome way

[georgewelsford]

this song is a insult to a classic. Chuck Berry would finally die if he heard this.

i only like the rolling stones covering chuck Berry.

thats it.

[lupicuti]

orrible

[keyblade09]

what did he said? 1:19 - 1:20

[cptnbigglesworth]

bah bah bah bah or summit

[inycxjp]

he forgot the words and mumbled something. original is better x 500000000000

[BlackBloodySabbath69]

to all of you who say that this suck : what's wrong with you guys ? this is pretty good. i think they should do only covers. it's much better than their silly gay songs

[hatrer]

he doesn't even know the lyrics... that's pretty bad

[DangerCoughlin101]

you dont need to remeber the words when your in a punk band hahaha

[hatrer]

your not in a punk band when you play Johnny B. Goode "hahaha"

[KATiAx7QA3]

Green Day is NOT punk.

[dethwatcher2000]

Green Day is Not good _period_

[aznluver99]

I think it sucks ass

[steveski74]

You know, I'm not one to say that you have to do anything just like the original, but this does frankly suck.

It's not even remotely close to being worth listening to.

[forkilas]

disgust !!

[leadier]

ouch i think my ears blew up with how much this sucks as much as there new album

[onethousandhours1990]

i love green day really i do BUT they really destroyed it... nothing can top the original song but maybe younger people see this and listen to the original i hope so

[dadiide]

please dont do things like that...

[konderfuda]

they destroyed the song

its sucks

[50sTributeBand09]

i agree

[JDEWHURST1092]

i love johnny be goode and i love green day so i love the video coz it put both together its great

[ManuPunX]

they destroyed the song

[YouTwilightWaker]

i'love this version.

[GrannieMakers]

Ok  Green day canit sing this song........BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE WRONG FRICKEN ACCENT

[dominatedface]

What is this from?

[xxRockst4r]

his guitar is so low and he think he looks cool. Lmao

[VFDbranch13]

Come on! You gotta love Billie Joe

[steveski74]

I dunno how they play so low. I have trouble with the general hand position required to play guitar at all without dropping it so low you have to look like a tard to get a sound out of it.

[RockerRJ14]

green day is a good band but cant do a good cover.

[jetsrdabest2]

wow. destroyed a great song

[King0fBananas]

Still not as good as marvin berry.Just so you know marvin was taught that song no joke He was taught!

[AmericanXcore]

um you mean chuck?

[brettgreen1]

chuck berry. watchin to much back to the future....

[DarkDeathVader]

lol

jeah man XD

[TOMASINATIDDELEMOUSE]

i think i like alot of different types of music and i like this

[Hitamaru]

he didn't even solo FAIL! fucked it up

[Seqoiabaldy]

I'm just watching for the guitar work, lol.

[krystian167]

That sucks!!!!!!! Green Day is shit.

[andreamelk]

che schifo!

[AleksanderNOR]

That was horrible.

[CDS456789]

chuck berry is the fuckin king and green day are nothing... so fuck green day

[dudessticky123]

the originals are always the best no cover can beat an original

[sokete3000]

Once again green day fucking up music grat song by a shity band!

[chetbeeson]

i have a huge problem with bands that USED to be good try to keep up with the times by wearing black trend clothes, and put on eye make-up...bring back the old GD, and dump this new-generation marketing scheme, guys! btw, elvis stole black people's music too.

horrible cover to a great song!

[TanguyHaers]

chetbeeson, elvis COVERED, he didnt steal... learn the difference...

[Wwerner25]

Only Chuck and Elvis are allowed to do this......! ;-)

YOU DON´T - Not with that terrible version!!!!

[him050]

What the fuck are green day doing covering this fantastic song?

[bearstronauts]

Still better than the Elvis cover!

[erifriend]

nice cover

[Pullman124]

Horrible!

[fender91jazz]

it's the worst version i 'd ever listened

[justmedabesteva]

this version at least is way better than elvis'

[RoswitaWaltraut]

I like Green Day very much.

But his voice really does not fit with this cover...

But did you listen to Michael J. Fox' cover from the movie Back to the future? :D

THAT'S a great cover!

[AvyScottandFlower]

great that there's a tribute to the REAL music! but this without the lead gtr is lesser than half :S
