actually a lot of people liked it. The only reason it wasn't as commercially successfull as their other albums was that Billie Joe was in rehab and wasn't there to tour or promote the albums.
You didn't give all the facts about Wake me up When September Ends. During the funeral, Billie ran away to his home and locked he door. His mother asked if he was okay then Billie said: "Wake me up When September Ends".
#6 is wrong. Billie's mom gave him his first guitar using tips from her job as a waitress. Billie talked about it during an interview, not sure which one.
Blue was only his first electric guitar. His dad _did_ give him his first ever guitar, which was a Cherry Red Hohner acoustic. Don't know what became of it...
Alana D Shit, sorry. Didn't know that. I assumed that Blue was his first guitar since I've never heard about Billie's first guitar being an acoustic :/ It makes sense to start off with and acoustic.
Royce Manson Nirvana is just heavily influenced by clash. Kurt cobain created his own sound and was heavily influential in grunge. You’re absolutely right that they’re grunge, they just have punk rock elements
green day is called green day because Billy Joe Armstrong smoked a whole punch of pot and wrote a song called green day based on how the drugs made him feel. someone either a fan or one of the band members wrote the phrase green day onto the back of a jacket and from there on everyone sorta called them green day although Billy Joe states himself in a interview that i quote "we probably have the dumbest band name ever" so i have to disagree with fact #20
they even talk about them in the video. maybe they started writing it before those albums released. or maybe they just thought it would be confusing to explain right at the beginning that green day's latest album was three albums.
Hehe on an interview with Bill Maher, Bill asked Billie if the name “Green Day” had anything to do with pot or if it was a myth and Billie responded “oh it’s definitely about pot” maybe not those exact words but it’s an entertaining interview if you haven’t seen it🤣😂
Jesus Christ Yeah, very old news lmao. He even made a more clear reference to this later on in American Idiot, with the lyrics "Maybe I'm the faggot America"
I've been a HUGE Green Day fan for many years now, and I've read basically every article and book on them possible, so I just want to say that you did a great job on all these facts! Loved it!
well, that's kind of valid and also completely wrong. they're the same person. st jimmy is the main character's more violent mentally unstable drug-addicted alter ego. and he's typically just called jesus, not the jesus of suburbia. the jesus of suburbia is just how he describes himself at one point, he has no actual name in the album. this is the widely accepted explanation, but then again it's a rock opera and it's open to interpretation
"They're latest album 21st Century Breakdown".....what..the..feck.....this was released a week ago...you don't have an excuse!! Where's ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!???!!!
I lost my dad at 8, same type of cancer as Billie Joe’s dad. I see Billie joe as someone just like me, a role model of how he dealt with the exact same thing, and came out stronger. I lost my dad in September and Wake me up when September ends, and boulevard of broken dreams especially connected to me. I was sent to an all boys school and had no friends for years, constantly bullied. I walked alone, not knowing my worth. Billie joe’s music got me through all of that. Thank you.
Micdrop,I just gotta say Thank You for making a video about Green Day. It Truly made my day turn around and it was worth the wait and also the fact that Green Day will realise a new album this year is something I'm very hyped for Once again thank you Mic Drop for the video it was awesome.
@@adog3129 I never said they invented the grunge genre. I said they were labelled as "punk" or "alternative" before "grunge" became the term they were referred to as.
39/Smooth was not a combination of 1,000 Hours and Slappy. Those were packaged WITH 39/Smooth in the compilation album 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.
I mean they had good songs, but it was definitely their weakest effort yet so far. I feel like they should have just taken the best songs from those three albums and compiled it into one album.
Yeah, I know. Which is fine. I respected the ambition. Just think the execution was a little underwhelming. But there were still a decent amount of great tunes.
This doesn't sound convenient but a few days ago I was arguing green day was the best band and in my pizzaria had the painting, buelevard of broken dreams
Something I can relate to with Billie is that I lost my one of my mom’s closest friends who was basically her sister to cancer as well. And a few months ago, I made the connection between when we lost her and he lost his dad; we were both 10 years old.
Okay, for 1, 21st Century breakdown is not their latest album, its their new one Revolution Radio, but that has not come out yet so its Uno Dos and Tre, i am a gigantic fan of Green Day knowing all their songs and i will agree that this video is accurate on facts so applause to you guys! My favorite song off dookie is Coming Clean or Pulling Teeth It was not his manager who told him to go to rehab, it was his wife so 106 facts
Another fun fact: The girlfriend frequently refered to in Green Day's music as 'Amanda' never actually dated Billie Joe. He had a massive crush on her and kept trying to date her, to which she responded with promptly friend-zoning him and eventually moving away.
When they told the Principal of their school that they were leaving school to play in their band the Principal said " That would be a Green Day in hell!" From there it comes the name Green Day.
Andreas Maria Fraefel Pepouni Billie said John came up with the idea of Green Day as a band name in an interview. content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1997442,00.html
The song "Brain Stew" is not about drugs. It's about Billie Joe being unable to sleep after his first kid was born because he was worried that something might happen to his son while we was sleeping. He stayed up for days at a time, to the point of hallucinating.
"To their latest album 21st Century Breakdown!"
your off by 3 albums, and 7 years
Thank you!!@
4 albums. Nobody cares about Uno!, Dos!, Tres! And Demolicious.
they got it right in description lol
actually a lot of people liked it. The only reason it wasn't as commercially successfull as their other albums was that Billie Joe was in rehab and wasn't there to tour or promote the albums.
Well maybe they just didn't want to mention them
I think you're forgetting the most important fact of all : "Billie has discovered the fountain of youth"
but now it's dehrydated
Lizzy Armstrøng Tre got away from it a while ago.
I swear, he's a freaking VAMPIRE!!! Or possibly a god.
Hannah jones I hope so god
I think you mean Gerard way found it
You didn't give all the facts about Wake me up When September Ends. During the funeral, Billie ran away to his home and locked he door. His mother asked if he was okay then Billie said: "Wake me up When September Ends".
I feel like it's made up..
@@posiechristina It's not watch them perform wake me up when september ends on howard stern. he says it himself.
Which is why Billie pretty much dislikes September.
Bro this is literally just a myth
he also missed that it triples as a part of the rock opera, it is the jesus of suburbia's reaction to breaking up with whatsername
Fact 108: Johnny Test took a lot from Green Day, a dog named Dookie, and even the theme song is a parody of American Idiot
Jared Vise YES THANK YOU i actually liked that show and people don't remember it much
American idiot is a parody of Johnny test 😤😤😤
Necronomibro Okay, American idiot- 2004
Johnny Test- 2005
Because obviously 5 comes before 4.
I watched that show as a kid and never got the reference
@@dootfromthebasement like the picture.
"Some say the band's name is about pot"
"It was absolutely about pot"

A lot of these “facts” are wrong
Glad SOMEONE Noticed 😃
did i hear you say that nirvana is punk rock? It's grunge dude....
Royce Manson Nirvana is just heavily influenced by clash. Kurt cobain created his own sound and was heavily influential in grunge. You’re absolutely right that they’re grunge, they just have punk rock elements
Grunge is just sad punk
I thought grunge is punk with slower tempo and metal influence in it..
IKR! Check out my comment at the top.
Royce Insanity Grunge is punk it’s just like punk metal
"Brain Stew" is actually about the insomnia that Billie Joe suffered after the birth of his first son.
and what about Jaded?
That's also why the album's called Insomniac!
I tear up everytime when I hear someone talking about Billie Joe's dad
Hope he in heaven
Watching this after going to their concert for Revolution Radio!
hope to see them one day
Barry B Benson Me too!
Barry B Benson lucky
I was there!

Starting a video about Green Day facts by saying that 21st Century Breakdown was their latest album is not a very good introduction...
Brian Jordan Bartels They also said ‘Demolicious’ is their latest album in the description......
And fact #108: Green Day Is back and better than every before (well we don't know that yet) With Bang Bang and Revolution Radio. SO HYPED!
JustinTheOreo tttxx c.
That whole album is amazing
yeh! Green Day r my fav band and i hav the new album (just found out u posted this last year sry:))
JustinTheOreo great album... really.
21st Century Breakdown is their best album
green day is called green day because Billy Joe Armstrong smoked a whole punch of pot and wrote a song called green day based on how the drugs made him feel. someone either a fan or one of the band members wrote the phrase green day onto the back of a jacket and from there on everyone sorta called them green day although Billy Joe states himself in a interview that i quote "we probably have the dumbest band name ever" so i have to disagree with fact #20

Hello micdrop they were released in 2012
they even talk about them in the video. maybe they started writing it before those albums released. or maybe they just thought it would be confusing to explain right at the beginning that green day's latest album was three albums.
Revolution radio was the latest album when you posted this comment
@@ryantunbridge9666 but it wasn't out when this video was made
And Revolution Radio was released the same year as this video
@@adog3129 Idk about you but I don't think it took them *5 years* to make a video. But yeah, maybe they did think it was just confusing

Billy in some interview said that green day came from weed smoking day
yeah, sorry for misspelling, i'm not really good at english sometimes
Nirvana wasn't created before Green Day. They were both created in the same year, 1987.
yeah but nirvana went mainstream much faster
the main character is the jesus of suburbia. st jimmy is an alter ego that only appears for about a half of the show/album
Exactly
YES!!! I've screamed about this shit.
well, that's kind of valid and also completely wrong. they're the same person. st jimmy is the main character's more violent mentally unstable drug-addicted alter ego. and he's typically just called jesus, not the jesus of suburbia. the jesus of suburbia is just how he describes himself at one point, he has no actual name in the album. this is the widely accepted explanation, but then again it's a rock opera and it's open to interpretation

2:25 I don't know why I love that picture so much, but something about Mike's head pasted on top of a stock chef photo is so funny to me.
7:11 nirvana aren't a punk band, they're a grunge band
The term "grunge" didn't exist when Nirvana started out. They were a punk band who was called "grunge" later on.
@@dpm12 that's wrong. they didn't invent the grunge genre, soundgarden and alice in chains exist.
true, but they have a few songs with some heavy punk vibes
@@adog3129 I never said they invented the grunge genre. I said they were labelled as "punk" or "alternative" before "grunge" became the term they were referred to as.
Green Day means a day spent smoking pot.
Also Mike's nickname is a bass sound.
I wouldnt say Limp Biscuit dominated anything....
DaleyGaming *Bizkit
DaleyGaming well fred durst may be a fucking idiot but my way and that cover of behind blue eyes was pretty good in my opinion
They were in Indonesia. Nookie, My Generation, Take a Look Around, My Way were overly hyped, along wity LP ofc...
