My teacher today asked the class what our favorite musical of all time is. I replied with American Idiot. He hadn't heard of it so he thought I was trying to be disrespectful so I had him pull up this. The reaction of the kids in my class was priceless
Of all the videos of 'American Idiot on Broadway' that I've seen, I don't usually go for the music. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE GREEN DAY. I'm just not into someone ELSE singing their music. But when Billie Joe is on stage, well -- I'm speechless. Now THAT would be a treat....
Thank you for getting the shot of him arching his back in that catch that they discussed in the Broadway Idiot doc. I'd never seen a clear shot in any of the other vids of his performances.
Little detail I loved was when Billie does the crucifixion stance his shadow looks amazing like if his shadow has been positioned to be right behind him the affect that would have would’ve been amazing like Jimmy leaving his last mark on the world before “dying”
I love it wish I could of seen it live. Who wouldn’t love a shirtless Billie lol..I wish the versions of these songs he sung would of been on the American Idiot Broadway album.
"Tom Hanks' production company Playtone Productions has announced that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong will star as St. Jimmy in the movie adaptation of American Idiot, the stage musical based on the Green Day album of the same name. Armstrong, who starred in the role for the majority of the show's run on Broadway, is the only star attached to the film so far. The movie is tentatively scheduled for 2013."
Saw this the first week he played st. Jimmy for the second time and when homecoming started I was like, st. Jimmy takes his shirt off during this song. HOLY FUCK
lol they probably just went ahead and added the part of St. Jimmy taking his shirt off because they new Billie would do it anyway just to screw things over haha! :D
i dont like how the too top comments are about billie's "hot bod", thats not what he was there for, he was there for the acting, no one points h=out how good his acting is

Highlight of that guy's life: carrying Billie Joe offstage
*Carrying a topless Billie Joe offstage
he probably did it every night for a couple months lol
I’m really jealous

LMAO what happened?
this was 10 years ago but yeah what happened
@@arcade3198 ikr
Waste another night or two
I love he like signs off to the audience while being carried off stage
in the documentary Billie Joe said he "can't act". I call SUPREME bullshit on that. he was awesome as St. Jimmy
Carl Trammel he wasn't acting. He performed half as though it was a concert and the rest as himself. St. Jimmy *was* him, after all.
Carl Trammel because he *is* ST Jimmy
People think acting yourself is easy. It's still acting in front of a crowd. It's not him normally as he walks on the street. It is acting.
I agree with the others...Billie IS St. Jimmy...no acting involved. Love him to pieces....
He feels emotions to the songs because in reality they're about him but he wouldn't usually look like that so it's kinda acting a bit
the power in his voice is unbelievable, when he say jimmy died today is probably my favorite part because you can hear the emotion in it :)
I just started crying when I saw this. I was just like "he's perfect! So perfect" and I got all shivery and shaky!
I agree
Oh man when he blew a kiss at the end
What a king
Sarah Walter ikr? he also do it in concerts and i think this is super cute
@¿ TheRealQueenie ?, I've only seen Billie Joe doing it, but 🥰
for a day.
when he sings "Jimmy DIED today.." so amazing!
at 1:57
that way how he says 'jimmy died today' makes me sad...
Chucky Killer same
Gives me the chills.
He sounds so beautiful. IVE REPLAYED IT A MILLION TIMES
Billie's facial expression was perfect :)
Im so glad people are still watching and commenting on this 7 years later
lmao when they carry him out and Billies just like yay
HAHA! I love that the crowd is silent *Billie takes his shirt off* WOOO! Haha. I'm so proud of him for doing this.
This man is in his mid-40s here Jesus Christ his vocals are so good
Does this guy realize that he's carrying BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG? SHIRTLESS?!?!?
I would kill to be that man.
His voice literally made me feel like my heart was melting...

Alexis Schmidt especially when Billie Joe plays him
Billie Joe's hair...and the ending... CARRY ME OUT PEASANTS....BITCH PLZ I AM FABULOUS.. SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT!!!
+Anna Gonzalez Pun not intended
Hehe emo jokes

lucy girl ikr? my friends love the broadway versions of gd songs, but i am just like: nahh it doesn't feel right
Thank you for getting the shot of him arching his back in that catch that they discussed in the Broadway Idiot doc. I'd never seen a clear shot in any of the other vids of his performances.
Fanboy/girling aside, he did a really good acting as Saint Jimmy. Probably my favorite that I have seen. It's this or the LA version.
BILLIE JOE MY MAN I LOVE HIM SOOOO MUCHHH
Billie is a good performer.
