edgy edge LORD I guess he's talking about the days when everybody was focused on music, enjoying it instead of rocording it on their phones (I'm a spanish speaker. Sorry if there's any mistake)
I see your point, but people definitely have not stopped enjoying music. It’s just the new age that has taken music by storm. Music is still very much alive, don’t worry. And so is rock. AND ska.
He just want to say that people nowadays are busy taking a video on concert while in old days they are just enjoying the music, no phone or taking vids
If there was no Green Day maybe we dont know lot of punk bands nowadays. They revived punk music in the 90's from its underground nearly dead state, so in this way we can say the Queen and Green Day are similar.
3 of my favorite bands sang 3 of my most favorite songs of Queen :D -We will Rock you by MCR -We are the Champions by Green day -Bohemian Rhapsody by Panic at the Disco :D
+Sean Bouffard i'm not a native english speaker, i don't know how do you call so many things, so i just translate them from my language in the way we use them
+azynkron well depending on what particular notes he is singing it is either an octave down, a harmony to the original, or they're using a different key and just going down. the first is most likely
I can't even imagine how it would feel to perform this song to a crowd like that. Just thinking about it makes me feel like flying or something. Like it'd totally be an out of body experience.
You know that you are a great musician when you sing everything from the Elderly Brothers to Queen and Ramones and still fucking rock...Huge respect to Billie!!
I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end - We are the champions - We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world - I've taken my bows And my curtain calls - You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it - and some fucking great cheers I thank you all - But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
My heart was fluttering like heck in the beginning. I had no idea. This is one of my favorite vintage songs and Green Day make it all better. Course Billie's got a softer voice than Mercury ever did.
doworkson123123 If you are into this Greenday then I can understand why it would sound acceptable but off key punk vocals.are not everyones cup of tea. So who are this Greenday anyway? do they have any number one hits that I would know of or do they just mimic well known bands?.
Could you guys please stop saying nonsense shit like ''oh this is okay but it could never top Freddie's'' or ''it's a decent cover but Freddie will always be better'' blah blah blah? Couldn't you guys live a single day without comparing something to something and saying something like ''Picasso is better than Van Gogh'', ''Hemingway is better than Joyce''? When Green Day covered We Are The Champions, they didn't intend to be 'better than the Queen'' , they just wanted to perform some good music to the crowd. When you guys have a lovely dish of beef Wellington, couldn't you just quietly enjoy it without saying ''this one is nice but nobody can top that of Gordon Ramsey's''?
Unfortunately, there will always be fucktards on the internet with nothing better to do than say stupid shit like “Billie will never be Freddie.” Well guess what? Freddie would never have been Billie either. Didn’t see that coming did you dumbasses?
Two things: one: I love this and two: I swear England has the best crowds ( for green day away) they seam to be the liveliest and sing the loudest. Check out reading 2013 ( boulevard of broken dreams is good example) (: let me know your thoughts
I remember when we studied this song in English class me and my cousin it was on 2011 or 2012 we were 11 and we searched for it till we jumped here , we loved the video so much so we played it on and on andddd i haad a super crush on the main singer Billie Joe Armstrong duuhh it was a good damn time we were kids didn't know we rock it with this fucking great band didn't know it was green day 😭😭😭😵 now we're 21 and I'm still listening to"21 guns" ughghg
uhhh, soooo heartwarming, after all the struggles we go through music just clears it all for at least a couple of minutes. Seeing thousands of people singing for thousands of different reasons from the bottom of their heart is like the best thing to listen to when u wanna escape from all the bad things and stuff, especially a *legendary* that came with us through generations 🖤❤
MrPhantom95 No, when it comes to being a die-hard fan of punk rock, looks is a bonus. Your stupid to think that we're fans just because of his appearance, that's insulting to everyone.
Green Day : We Are The Champions MCR : We Will Rock You Panic At The Disco : Bohemian Rhapsody George Michael : Somebody To Love We Need Under Pressure's cover NOW
+Joao Domingues Billie is really amazing but he can't sing high notes like freddie or Adam, Adam is better to sing queen's songs but anyway this version is very Good :) :D
Loferix I dont if I completely agree of course both Billie and Freddie are over Adam but I consider these two equals one is maybe the greatest rock star while the other is the greatest punk star
Queen day
nice one!lol
xd
+Billy Cobb lol 69 likes's
Jack Biggs 69
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Rubi Ramirez spasmi
damn, that crowd gives me chills at the chorus
fuck yea man this is such a good crowd!
even Queen's got nothing on that!
***** me too
You should watch the Thunderstruck by acdc live
Aaron Ryder ikr. Just any riverplate acdc live
Yes! Green Day performing a Queen song! I can die peacefully now
ikr
Agreed, next shall be nirvana
no
Green Day covering a Nirvana song will be fucking great
They played a nirvana song for like 5 seconds.
It doesn't have to be compared to Queen. Both are great bands and this was a great cover. They didn't try to be "better" than Queen.
why are you every where i fucking go
Cuz i comment on like all videos :p
***** The new PressFartToContinue
omg yes
Aunque estan a mismo nivel ehh‼
I miss the days when everyone was just enjoying the music..
tf are you talking about
edgy edge LORD I guess he's talking about the days when everybody was focused on music, enjoying it instead of rocording it on their phones (I'm a spanish speaker. Sorry if there's any mistake)
I see your point, but people definitely have not stopped enjoying music. It’s just the new age that has taken music by storm. Music is still very much alive, don’t worry. And so is rock. AND ska.
i agree people aren't enjoying the music just looking phone and taking pictures
He just want to say that people nowadays are busy taking a video on concert while in old days they are just enjoying the music, no phone or taking vids
Can we get a thumbs up for Freddie Mercury for opening the door for THOUSANDS of musicians?!
yes we can
Of course
They were not essential for Green Day, in case you were thinking that.
only thousands? I'd like to think there are WAY more than thousands, but who knows.
If there was no Green Day maybe we dont know lot of punk bands nowadays. They revived punk music in the 90's from its underground nearly dead state, so in this way we can say the Queen and Green Day are similar.
Dude doesn't age.
He's a vampire lord
He does too age
Backwards

damn! what is he eating? and i need his body care regime and willing extort him for it!
This is the best RUclips comment I've seen X'D
You can really hear the years of singing and vocal training that BJA has done here; FANTASTIC performance!
Thank You Green-Day LIFE! Liza Chen, USA
+Liza Chen Compared to Queen? Well.. then, no..
+azynkron Ya but you are watching a punk singer singing a masterpiece of queen :v
3 of my favorite bands sang 3 of my most favorite songs of Queen :D
-We will Rock you by MCR
-We are the Champions by Green day
-Bohemian Rhapsody by Panic at the Disco :D
Something tells me that those are the only three queen songs you know. Git gud skrub
drummerdude476 Nah bro those aren't just the songs I know from them,there was just one my favorites and Git gud skrub of that something tells you!
drummerdude476 Don't judge the book by its cover, idiot.
don't forget Killer Queen by Sum 41
Fucking Yeassss❤❤💯💯
Billie Joes voice is so amazing with this song! Its so soft and just... Amazing.
+king billie that's because he's singing it one tone down. probably he couldn't sing it in the original tuning
+Jack Drive that comment was filled with such incorrect terminology it hurt me
+Sean Bouffard i'm not a native english speaker, i don't know how do you call so many things, so i just translate them from my language in the way we use them
+Sean Bouffard So, what should it be then, mr Big pants?
+azynkron well depending on what particular notes he is singing it is either an octave down, a harmony to the original, or they're using a different key and just going down. the first is most likely
Wow, did anyone else notice Mike's backing vocals? Insanely good
Walter White yeah, I thought that too
THEYRE GREEEAAATT
Jason Freese also played a major role in providing backing vocals. Listen to him in Jesus of Suburbia.
Mike Dirnt did the best backup vocals ever.
Ali Rafiei Mike and Jason Freese did an awesome job.
This is great haha. Never heard Billie Joe sing that high!
His real old music in 1039 he could sing real high
Disappearing Boy and Going To Pasalacqua is kinda high but this one's a whole new level
laurendutton4 5 years later and listen to their latest song, ‘father of all’
sorry but this is the best cover i've ever heard!
oh look, hands in the air and not phones :D
11 years ago
+IJJosh You have sharp eyes :)
wow, how is that possible?
+Mathias Svendsen I mean, it kind of is 2004
+shadowpheonix1944 there still were flip phones back than lol people still could of been recording and taking pics if they wanted.
This showcases Billie's vocals well. Green Day love Queen. They played Bohemian Rhapsody before their concerts every time on their last tour.
I can't even imagine how it would feel to perform this song to a crowd like that. Just thinking about it makes me feel like flying or something. Like it'd totally be an out of body experience.
Sam Warren especially to a crowd in London, Queen’s backyard
''And my mistakes'' *Rips off fake mustache* Oh Billie.
If the crowd drowns out the lead singer it's a good crowd.
loser
I have great friends and a loving girlfriend. You can call me what you want but if you call me a loser your wrong.
if comment an unbelievable man with this shit, you are a loser
What?
im sorry.. my friend is a big green day fan and he missunderstood you comment.
this video just made my day, my two favorite bands combined
Stunning, what a pairing. And that audience, were pretty damn good too.
+Mammuchan 1 English audiences are always the greatest.
I Dont Care Ok SAMMEEEEE
Station To Station g
I Dont Care Ok Fucking ×2
Goosebumps all over when the crowd started singing
We Are The Champions with in Green Day style........I can FUCKING DIE PEACE!!!!!
Jay Porje plays at mine and your funerals.
+K1llers Bane Thanks
You know that you are a great musician when you sing everything from the Elderly Brothers to Queen and Ramones and still fucking rock...Huge respect to Billie!!
Billie Joe sure has some good range of tone.
sarcasm?
no he sure has, he can sing very high pitched but his bass tones are not that lovely.
No.
You have to remember that this was the end of a full set live performance his vocal range is going to be rough
he is a great singer
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
- and some fucking great cheers
I thank you all -
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world
Is there really a point comparing the two versions though? Queen's is of course great and Green Day's a fucking great tribute
totally agree
Your pfp.. yes!
My heart was fluttering like heck in the beginning. I had no idea. This is one of my favorite vintage songs and Green Day make it all better. Course Billie's got a softer voice than Mercury ever did.
You clearly haven't listened to enough Queen if you think that Freddie's voice is harsher than Billie's pop punk belting
Flatter, less tuneful, and many other equal reasons why this is really not a good rendition, but Softer voice? No.
Yeah, I would admit I'm a casual Queen listener. I guess not.
Matthew Brown Are you fucking high? Not a good rendition? No.
doworkson123123 If you are into this Greenday then I can understand why it would sound acceptable but off key punk vocals.are not everyones cup of tea. So who are this Greenday anyway? do they have any number one hits that I would know of or do they just mimic well known bands?.
This is sooo amazing . I love Billies voice in this cover. It's really beautiful how loud the crowd sings. Amazing...
This is the Queen Day we all love and deserve.
The crowd was amazing,I wish I could be there.Nice cover.
Green Day forever!!!
What can i say brits?
i was five in 2004 i hate my life
Chiara Peluso I wasn't even born in 2004
Chiara Morganti I was 0.
Chiara Morganti i would give anything to be your age again bro.
I was 22 in 2004 I hate my life
Chiara Morganti I was 2 :’(
Probably the best live song of all time.
Chela Joice
Actually, one of them. I wouldn't say the absolute greatest.
You ruined your own top comment .____.
!LeAh ThEidiOt! LMAO
Green Day, the favorite band of my early teens, standing on the shoulders of giants... thanks for sharing!
this is the best cover of this song 😌
This video brings unimaginable amounts of happiness into my life
Holy fuck, I wish I was there.
Could you guys please stop saying nonsense shit like ''oh this is okay but it could never top Freddie's'' or ''it's a decent cover but Freddie will always be better'' blah blah blah? Couldn't you guys live a single day without comparing something to something and saying something like ''Picasso is better than Van Gogh'', ''Hemingway is better than Joyce''?
When Green Day covered We Are The Champions, they didn't intend to be 'better than the Queen'' , they just wanted to perform some good music to the crowd. When you guys have a lovely dish of beef Wellington, couldn't you just quietly enjoy it without saying ''this one is nice but nobody can top that of Gordon Ramsey's''?
Kelri Rilke agree with you 🤘🏼
I 100% agree with you😁

Jimmy Jacobs: dude.... Love your comment. Well said.👍
Im with you brother

I'm laughing so fucking hard at this.
Totally
I’m in tears, music connects to people more than anything
Right On.RIP Freddie equality for all....
Two things: one: I love this and two: I swear England has the best crowds ( for green day away) they seam to be the liveliest and sing the loudest. Check out reading 2013 ( boulevard of broken dreams is good example) (: let me know your thoughts
the audience is so great here
The flags waving, the smoke and the camera angles at just the right time made this perfect. Them feels...
great cover, it's not an easy thing to do to cover queen and be able to pull it off. they did it well.
This is why I always love greenday
I know no one can beat Freddie Mercury, but Billie fucking smashed it.
I remember when we studied this song in English class me and my cousin it was on 2011 or 2012 we were 11 and we searched for it till we jumped here , we loved the video so much so we played it on and on andddd i haad a super crush on the main singer Billie Joe Armstrong duuhh it was a good damn time we were kids didn't know we rock it with this fucking great band didn't know it was green day 😭😭😭😵 now we're 21 and I'm still listening to"21 guns" ughghg
Goddamn I hate it when people put Green Day down. They fucking legends!
green day is the champion

Udh lu dengerin lagu you can count on me aja

pineapple mann lol
It's good, but no voice will compare to the amazing one Freddie Mercury had. RIP FM, greatest singer ever.
in my personal opinion this sounded wayyyy better than Queen...
Nothing beats the original man. But this is a pretty above decent cover.
+Ruthie Haynes Better than Queen? Nothing is better than Queen! (with Freddie)
Mathew Bellamy from Muse has so many comparisions to Freddie Murcury check him out
This cover is vicious. Give respect. Don't be a cliche comment.
2 favourite bands in one i can die now
That was so magnificent, never know he have covered Queen.. Respect ++++++++++++++++
Queen Day.
This is a rare commodity. A good Queen cover.
Tre dressed as a priest! XD God I love this guy
Can't believe I missed this. Awesome version.
Billie: WAIT HOLD ON!! *puts electrical tape mustache on*
Tyler yESSS 😭 😂
this is everything i needed to see. this is fucking perfect
Who's here from Stevie
Me! I assume you mean Stevie T
Me
wanted to be sure it wasn't as bad a rendition as the tab made i out to be
Tuns out the tab is to blame
Mehhh
uhhh, soooo heartwarming, after all the struggles we go through music just clears it all for at least a couple of minutes. Seeing thousands of people singing for thousands of different reasons from the bottom of their heart is like the best thing to listen to when u wanna escape from all the bad things and stuff, especially a *legendary* that came with us through generations 🖤❤
Man what fun it would have been to sing that in that crowd.
Man he's a good singer good sense of humor to
I love the stache.
best cover ever
Billie looks so....AGH xDD *fangirls*
That's the only thing you fangirls care about...
MrPhantom95 No, when it comes to being a die-hard fan of punk rock, looks is a bonus. Your stupid to think that we're fans just because of his appearance, that's insulting to everyone.
Leah Ackerman ;-; yea.
MrPhantom95 Lmao, you should have just put "girls" instead of "fangirls".
Mediocre Will Hunting who cares...
Best parts 0:00 - 3:38 👑😎🎸
The crowd singing along makes it so much, much better

You know the crowd is good when they are as loud as Billie.

Well bois we did it
perfeição da minha vida
No, is not better than queen performance, it is the better live cover performance ever, change my mind.
Nice cover. We miss you, Freddie. You wrote the greatest song of all time.
Oh my god....yes...YES...YEEEESSSS!!
Queen is the best. But Green Day is pretty good too
Stevie T brought me here
I had to see if it was like the tab.
It is quite the tab

+Anonymous Comment me too
Stevie brought me here too
I was there in the crowd ! Epic !
Chris Barrett lucky!
omg billie actually sounds really good in this
Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome!
I would die to be there...
Omg, I watched it many times. Your voice is so cool, very effortless.
That voice...omg
Puedo morir en paz :') ♡
I love Green Day to death, probably my favorite band by far.
But Freddy Mercury, come on. Nothing tops the Queen Version.
Nagisa Hazuki not a matter of what's better, it's simply a case of enjoying a great cover of a great song.
Everyone spells Billie as Billy as everyone spells Freddie as Freddy
I highly doubt Green Day was trying to “top” Queen in any way. They’re paying their respects. But I agree, no voice beats Mercury IMO
They werent trying to "top" the Queen version. They were simply just having a good time at a festival.
A very good cover though I think
How can he sing that good!!!!!! I love billie so much❤️
He's so cute
Gotta love how Billie put a piece of electrical tape on his lip to represent Freddie Mercury's moustache
Good cover, but the pace is too slow.
Man fucking nailed that chorus! Green Day rules live
Better than Adam Lambert.
+Joao Domingues Billie is really amazing but he can't sing high notes like freddie or Adam, Adam is better to sing queen's songs but anyway this version is very Good :) :D
+Breyner Gallo I know, but I am not talking about only technics
green day is not compared with lambert
+Joao Domingues Freddie>Billie>Adam
Loferix I dont if I completely agree of course both Billie and Freddie are over Adam but I consider these two equals one is maybe the greatest rock star while the other is the greatest punk star
