- This redhead fan got so lucky to play Blue with Green Day on stage - and he did a fabulous job! Followed by a big jump into the crowd :) (The guy's name is Thomas Bulvan)
IT'S THE REAL BLUE. Check out Christie Road from the same show to see the back of the guitar with the picture of 10-year old Billie: • Billie Joe plays on hi...

I was at this show! Dude really did fucking kill it. Before the video starts, I guess the kid was like right in front of Billie, I was like 5-6 people from the rail, holding a sign saying "I can play every note on Dookie." Billie said "Do you really know every note to that album?" apparently he said yes cause then he said "Then get your ass up here." Never seen someone hop the railing so fast in my life Haha. Fucking killer show
Oh and then after Billie hands over his guitar he says "this is either gonna be the greatest moment in your life, or your worst nightmare" lol.
@@wetrat1120 he said that because thats the guitar his dad gave him and its precious to him because his dad is dead
@@Jdottescobar i think he said it cause he couldve fucked up or done amazing and clearly he did great
@@Jdottescobar bud. His mom got him the guitar
Wowwwwkejejjrjrnrnrjekjdndndnsjsj😱😱😱😱😱
I bet that kid..
..had the time of his life
Boooooo
Zander Serrine STOP LMAOO
I approve
Get off the internet dad
Of course he did ya nimrod
He lived everyone's high school dream.
he was graduated in this
I'm 63 years old and it's still a dream of mine. I do teach high school, so maybe it still qualifies.
was about to see them live in bangkok, bought tickets as soon as they went on sale...but then covid...was waiting for this since i was 15..damn

I love realizing that this kid has great stage awareness and presence, he's not in the front the whole time or always trying to be the center of attention. He knows what he's doing, and being a stranger, he's interacting with everyone on stage, he even looks back to the drummer and the keyboard player to interact with them too. He steps back, forward, and is very fluid. Proud of him!
EXACTLY, the stage presence is the first thing I've noticed. Kid has been in the position before and is super stoked to be where he is at!
Dude is definitely in a band
He was a roboy
ye he done it so well im assuming he ina smaller band already
Right? If he isn't in a band now, I'd wager he's having offers tossed at him left and right for bands needing a guitarist
Imagine playing that, nailing the solo, crowd diving, getting hugged, put on your feet, and Billie goes straight into Basketcase...fucking insane
I’d be convinced I was dreaming, like seriously
You’ve said it brother. Straight to basket case was the cherry on top 🤟
There is no solo
Dude had the time of his life. Something to tell his future kids and grandkids about.
I would just... die happy I think idk
this guy didn't miss a fucking beat, from the solo to the finish it was awesome. great job!
Its punk rock... Lol
Michael Mccolgan heck yeah plus he left a comment saying he knows all dookie Green Day songs
He's got Jason White backing him up also. But he still did an amazing job
This song is so BASIC ...... magazines don't publish it
@@bobtruman4294 why you trolling? You obviously had enough interest in it to click on the video. I think the guy did awesome, basic song or not i know i woulda been way nervous having never been in front of a crowd like that.
He’s been practicing those jumps in his room for years!
Bro he even played Blue - Billie’s first guitar ever! That’s sick
I would have been tempted at the end to hold it above my head and pretend to go to smash it to pieces in true rock star fashion. Not sure how well that would go down, though...
Probably a replica, I doubt he plays the OG at concerts
@@avaleloc1513 he does
@@nimrod7139 he doesn’t anymore
@@avaleloc1513looks like it has the photo on the back which would mean it’s the real blue
I feel like Billie didn’t know what to do with his hands with out his guitar😂
Lmao😂😂😂
It's looks weird
I think so

@@eganc1976 lmao yes
billies smile while the kid was playing the solo is the cutest ever, holy shit.
There is no way you can call this a solo

@@Alexanderltt yes, it's a solo, even Kurt had more short solos than this one lol
@@xintlzer3354 Kurt didn’t have solos either lol
@@Lucretia916 yeah but he went solo
I'm not a die hard Green Day fan but this still made me smile
Same
Gave me all the feels
Check out "Kiss Guy" at a Foo Fighters concert aka Yayo Sanchez
I’m a newer Green Day fan and mainly enjoy there 90s stuff but Billie Joe seems like a great guy. I’ve seen a lot of videos of him doing this with fans.
They always do this.
Me neither but I swear it gave me a smile I needed
Somebody sign that kid????? He didn't even try to be the center of attention and that's a true rockstar!!!!!
That guy's been waiting for that exact moment his whole. He's a rock star
The warning from Mexico are the real rock stars, look them up. Hold your jaw though, you might drop it
THAT KID : Greatest moment EVER.
Showed serious stones!
@@dwade6322 what kid?
@@gionefe323 the kid in the video
He's as comfortable up there on stage as the actual band members.
This made me remember what it was like being a human before corona virus.
You’re still human. FUCK corona virus. It ain’t shit.
Rock out in your bedroom don’t let it get you down.
von92 tinfoil hat much
von92 lemme guess, world is flat too?
aliens inthecabinet he’s right. Shit should’ve been over months ago if they didn’t do this shit. Look at Sweden.
That dude had a nice stage presence too! They were totally rocking out
The warning from Mexico is the REAL definition of rock. Only 3 sisters making full bands look like amateurs
For anyone who's never seen Green Day live, they do this every show. It could happen to you!
That's really nice of them :D
I’m going.
@Mad Circle I mean you're not wrong
@Mad Circle most chicks don't know that. They also don't know that solo is like 6 notes but I guarentee that kid got so much butt after this show.😂
they plant the people there, that's why they always have brightly colored hats but here it's hair.
Dude, that kid absolutely killed that. Like he looks like he's been in the band the whole time, lol. He really could have a future doing this stuff for a living.
Kid totally nailed it, pretty sure he's already in a band and he's used to playing in front of a crowd, jumping and stuff. Song may be easy to play in the quiet of your bed room but i'm sure most people would shit in their pants in his situation :D
Dj4ll86 yea tommy is a really cool guy lol
Yup... I would probably get a heart attack haha xD
That was a mean crowd dive after... Respect to that kid
I could do this but 14 people would be in the hospital. Almost 3 hundo rhythm guitarist.
@@bbranett2188 LMFAOOOO
2:38 i literally inspire to be this kid- like look at the way he jumped- he was literally born for this
My son knows almost every Greenday song on guitar (he's 16). I play it on drums while he plays guitar. I grew up listening and playing Greenday whrn I was a teenager. It's such a proud moment when we get to share moments like these with our kids. I'd love to see him jamming with them one day. If not I'm still glad i get to see him enjoy music like i do.
you sound like a wonderful parent
@@squtnik thank you, i truly appreciate that.
This is AWESOME! SO happy for you and your son
I love hearing parents bond with there kids over music, I’ve always bonded with my dad over music too. You seem like a cool dad.
Omgggg i wish to have u as a parent!!
What a fucking day that guy must've had.
This kinda stuff is so cool. Not many famous musicians are grounded like this and truly care about their fans. Very cool!
This is how most bands from the California punk scene are to their fans. I’ve been to NOFX shows and Fat Mike would just be sitting on the merch table talking to all the fans when they came up to buy shirts.
@@shanemoore9705 I don't think he'd like to admit it, but Fat Mike seems like he's actually a pretty nice guy
This COULD have gone horribly wrong.
Linkin Park cares
I want other bands to b like dis
AKA mcr
I'm 56 and I'm not a huge fan, but I must say I have mad respect for Billy Joe. Throughout the years I have seen him go from a young punk to an old punk lol. Attitude, yes indeed. Thats rock and roll!
I'm 60, man, and just discovered this video. I'm not a GreenDay fan at all but I enjoy a lot this. If I came across with Billy Joe in Buenos Aires, I'd invite him an asado, for sure :-) Larga vida al rock'n'roll!!!
Class of 85 here David, and you just took the words man!
@gib59er56 we had just been overwhelmed with new wave . After growing up with the original classics. RHCP are older than us! But Green Day is a good band. And I do like his lyrics. Just isn't my preference. They are original , very much so. But again I say. Billy is the Epitome me of the bad boy rocker which makes him a legend
this kid was made for this like actually he fits in perfectly and his vibe is amazing you hear that crowd and how theyre jumpin
I'm not a green day music fan to be honest, but this was absolutely awesome. This is a really great rock band, just rocking out with their many fans. That must have been the day of his life
As a diehard Green Day fan, i love comments like this. You don't have to like the band, but showing respect is awesome!
yep, no doubt they are pretty historic for music not just in the country, but the world
I hope he had the time of his life
Green Day is the reason I ever picked up a guitar. A kid growing up bored as hell in a small town and I can honestly say if not for Green Day I wouldnt have started playing. At least not as early as I did.
Have you seen the one with the 12year old?
He’s in a band called Cleveland Avenue. They’re great give them a listen!
Joey Apter why is this not more appreciated???
I’m gonna repost
🤘🏼
I did. thanks👑
Corey Mullis shut the fuck up
Randomly got recommended this and I was there! I was on my friend's shoulders trying to get picked to play and Billie Joe started the motion to point at me and turned at the last second to pick this dude lol. If anyone who was at this show remembers condom balloons floating around the crowd, that was us!
Rock bands, no matter what type of rock, may sing about being badasses who don't give a damn about anyone's feelings but they're always the nicest people you'll ever meet. In the immortal words of Bryan Johnson: "Rock N Roll will never die!" We should always love each other no matter how much we might not get along. LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL!!
this is kind of crowd that green day deserve not that lazy bs EMA 2016 crowd
IKR :(
alexiel axel EXACTLY
5 Secønds øf Fall Øut Chemical at the Discø! alive for ur username
alexiel axel dude you definitely need to see Argentina's crowd, you'll go nuts
best in the world
I was at this concert- Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. I've been to a lot of concerts, hell that was the 5th time I've seen Green Day. First time I got to see them in a club type setting. It was by far and away the best concert I've ever been to. Crazy energy from start to finish. I can't even put it into words.
This has to, without a shadow of a doubt, be the greatest moment in this dudes life. Gets called on stage, absolutely nails the song and stage performance AND gets the crowd surf to boot? What a night!
Yup...it was all downhill from there
Bro peaked in highschool
As awesome as all of that is, I sincerely hope he has moments that are far greater in his future.
@@kylegunby1532 Doubt it
Proud of this dude. Not only he slayed When I Come Around, but he also played with Blue. The fuckin' legendary Blue goddamn
RIGHT!!!???
Raphael Garcia I agree completely. but it's probably a replica
It's not a replica guys go on my channel and there's a video where he introduces it to the whole crowd and shows an accurate photo of himself that's on the back from when he was 10! Why would they bother replicating that!?! BILLY JOE ARMSTRONG ISN'T A HALF ASS KINDA GUY
I was at this show. When Billie brought Blue out, he said, "Let me tell you guys a story. When I was 10 years old, my mother was working a lot of hours at a diner. She used her money to buy me this guitar." Why would Billie tell such a heartfelt story if he was holding a replica? Billie's not the kind of guy who would lie to us like that.
lightningbolt99999 he told the same story when I went to see them as well
When I saw Green Day live here in Melbourne Australia they not only invited a fan on stage to play, Billie Joe actually gave them his guitar. It was awesome
I was at their show in Copenhagen, June 7th 2022. Billie Joe got two fans on stage. First, a guy to sing along. Then, a girl to play second guitar. And he gave that guitar to her, as a present. It was AWESOME.
Definitely not his mom's guitar right?
@@Krasses Don't know the reference, sorry.
that dude will never forget this...God Bless green day..
whiskyscotch d Very well said Fred. That kid will remember it for the rest of his life. Can't wait to see you back on the road my brother!
Not only did he play a concert for thousands, he killed it, and got to play a legendary guitar
If you were an nfl announcer he would have went home and got diagnosed with dementia the next day.
Such a class act.
whiskyscotch d the question is, did he survive thay jump?
This kid is a buddy of mine; Tommy is a hell of a dude. He's gotta be the most hype kid I've known.
Does he have a RUclips channel or anything?
Dean Matza stop bull shitting
TOMMY RIP 2019 😢
@@Tomas-ob7wr Why rip tell me he did not die or something??
@@cone16v Yeah, killed himself, OD.
I love Billie. I could be wrong, because I dont know the man, but he seems as down to earth and as genuine as a rock star can be.
To me, he doesnt take himself too seriously, and the gesture he made for this young kid, who kicked ASS, was just so cool.
He’s definitely a very nice guy
I saw him do the same thing live here in Melbourne Australia and he actually gave the girl his guitar
Not a Green Day fan, at all, but they
seem like nice enough guys that appreciate their fans.
5 years ago I went to a festival in Mexico where Green Day played at the end. They did the same thing with 2 fans, couldn't pull it out because one of them sucked, but they kept their energy and it was an awesome show. Best concert ever!
This is real Rock N Roll & living live. Warm-heartful emotion with band & fan.
I love how Billie puts his arm around the kid. I don't know why, I think it reminds me of dads
Ann Kluck Billie: good job son, we'll go out for ice cream after the show.
Friendly Skeleton i wish i went for ice cream with billie after the show 😭
should have done that :) good job man.
Thomas Bulvan No way is it you?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. Same!
This was the best part of the show. This kid couldn't have done it any better. Glad I got to see it live!
Nico waw
That kid has got some great stage presence. Good energy and not being a tool. Good on him!
That kid is amazing and clearly having the time of his life. He’s so natural!
That dude is gonna tell that story to everyone with an eardrum for the rest of his life.
Yep, he just told me about it.
This was the most wholesome shit I’ve seen, I really needed to see this in 2020.
Amen to that.
Yeah
Emmmm... Bad news, bro:(
@@oolo956 ?
@@thedoctah1428 Forget it XD
This dude should start his own band hes fucking killing it
Right? He has the best vibes!
I love this so much. I wish more bands did this. It's such a relatively small thing for them, but so huge for the fan and the crowd.
That kid killed it, I can see him being the frontman of a band sometime in the future
i wish to be in that band
Playing some power chords? Nope!
RabbiRan i think they were talking about how he is on stage. jumping around, being present and still being able to play the guitar.
mvf.jpg nope
RabbiRan i think somebody is jealous
It’s good to see Ninja living his best life
Lol
He got tired of playing Fornite
This is heartwarming to watch…….He just made that fan so happy and excited, also the fan did a great job on the song.
What an amazing band. You could see the smile on the faces of everyone in Green Day when the kid pulled off the guitar solo.
That half second before he started playing, Billie Joe was like "did I just make a mistake?!" And then the relief and pure joy. This was awesome.
THIS is how you do it if you come up on stage!!!! You rocked man!!!! And THAT is what I call a stage dive!!!! YA!
Liza Chen
I hope they caught him!!! EPIC LAUNCH !
Liza Chen that was an impressive leap I have to say
Gerard way...
I love how Billie pulls these kids in there with him. They’ll cherish the memories forever.
You can't overstate how cool it is that this band gives this to their fans
*Guy jumps in crowd*
Biliie: DO YOU HAVE THE TIME
i already know this is a reference to that other video XDD
@@modheretostealurkidneys8633 what other video? I am out of the loop :/
He’d been waiting for this moment his whole life...
Or the four hours before the show when he was planted this lmao
I am waiting too
That kid aced it, to be that lucky and that good of a player and even performer on stage, that must have been a dream.
Notice how he started off playing the song just a little too fast and slowed down with the drums. He has talent.
jealous for 2 reasons, 1 he got to play with my favourite band and 2 he got to use blue
It isn’t the real blue
It is. There's the photo of him on the back of it
He has actually been known to use a blue replica. :). He doesn’t want to tear up blue :)
ryekia he said blue is to fragile to play with any more so he made a replica
@@3sjstill438 it's the real guitar
more bands need to bring the crowd on stage and be more involved with them
Sure thing! but how do you spot the sane from the insane?
+Stubtoft Production insane people still value this kind of opportunity. This is kind of their scape goat. Once they go back home they resume their devil worshiping . I know this because I know a lot of insane people
Poetic Justice every hardcore show bands do exactly this.
only bands with simple music can do this
A lot of the time it depends on the venues rules too unfortunately
Wow can you imagine how psyched that fan was to have such an opportunity? He plays pretty flawlessly too!
Now this...this is EVERY FAN'S DREAM!! and this lucky kid got to literally live it and dude did an AMAZING job too!!
letting audience to play on the stage is a greatest things any band could do!
Alder Ladybius totally agree.
Most artists nowadays could only let them rap the lyrics which they already do not on stage. My point is most music sucks
100% agree.....
Especially when you pick out a plant to pretend lmao
@@zackdelarosa14 ok boomer
One of the reasons why Green Day is among the best bands of all time: *They adore their fans*
He even knows how to play the live version with the hammer-ons. It's great to see the look of joy and pride on the band's faces to see that the crowd knows how to play their songs.
Yea… it’s almost like it was all pre-planned/staged….
@@williamstidham7704 Pretty sure he would have nailed the solo and not have been discovered to be a lousy singer, but still, GJ to him on rhythm guitar. Very energetic and on-rhythm.
Not my generation of music (I'm 55) but I always loved Green Day . Class act all the way! Good job to the kid who played guitar.
Your generation started this sound and we are grateful 🤙🏿

He is an ordinary person too.
@@jdogg5771 no, he is a rock star with world at fingertips
jp jonesh Yeah, he’s just a guy. Same species as me and you. You say rock star as if it’s some advanced race or something. He is famous, yes, but at the end of the day, he shits and eats just like the rest of us. He’d tell you the same. He gets sad, he gets happy, he gets mad, when he hasn’t eaten he gets hungry. Fame doesn’t mean anything except the fact that you may be rich and people know who you are.
Foo Fighters do it too! I hope more bands start to do that
there is nothing ordinary about that guy
I have a whole new respect for Green Day! Pearl Jam is my favorite band, so if Eddie were to pull me up on stage I’d be too nervous, star struck and excited beyond words! I’d cry too. So this dude is an epic legend!
I have to say this is an incredible moment
One of the many reason why I love Green Day is cause they genuinely love their fans and do things like this for them. The guy was so lucky and has amazing skill.
Is it the basic music?
So, this is easily one of THE coolest things I've ever seen on RUclips. I can't even imagine what it must've been like for that kid. Obviously loves Green Day. Manages to actually get up on stage during the show and then gets handed Billy Joe's guitar, which he uses to abso-fucking-lutely nail it in front of a live audience who are absolutely losing their shit at this point because of what's happening. Thanks so much for posting this...
I guess it was the night of his life for this dude
Yep. Prolly be a lifetime highlight.
You should check the ‘Kiss guy’ at Foo Fughter’s gig.
At 15 these guys were my bread and butter.
24 hours on headphones.
Now I’m 39 and I’m like “You damn genius,thx for this!”
god, i love this so much. it’s like for 5 minutes, billie probably fulfilled this kids dreams. music really has given us something we can’t find anywhere else.

On the...what?

I love watching when professional bands given their fans an opportunity to play in one stage with them. Big thumb 👍👍👍
This is why ive always been a fan of Billie.
I hope he had his time of his life
no doubt about it
good riddance
He got to play Blue ;-:
Billie must’ve trusted him.
Paid off though, guy was a natural! :D
Robbie Nado it was a replica of blue
I want to like your comment but it’s at 69 so I feel like liking it would be illegal
Did it anyway
Can’t rock pink hair and ever feel uncomfortable
captain thunderpants Are you kidding me??
Katie Is boring I mean, he might be a good guitarist but he’s playing Green Day. Love Green Day, know almost the entire Dookie album on guitar, but it’s not hard. Green Days’s stuff isn’t technical at all, it’s just super simple power chords. Which sound hard, but power chords are probably the easiest thing on guitar.
Gave him a moment he will remember for the rest of his life, Im not even a greenday fan but this was nothing short of beautiful
He got so much fun and an unforgettable moment! Good for him!
That kid when school starts is going to be a legend !! An mad respect for green day for doing this at ther shows !! It builds confidence not HATE !!!!!

Billie looks SO good, and also like such a proud papa 🤣
We talk about the concerts we been to 30 /35 yrs ago, this kid has a story that will blow everyone away already
did anyone else notice, before the stage dive he knocked an amp over :D :D :D what a legend, pleased to be a green day fan :).
he didn't knock an amp over, he just bumped into the mic stand for the amp
Jack is right: after bumping the mic stand he knocks off a combo amp. Watch at half speed from 2:28min on and you can see. its right behind him and Billie :D
Ah yes, got it, I didn't notice he did that as well !
I love how Billie just stares at him at the beginning and then he's like ALRIGHT LETS GO
dude. playing the OG blue on stage with them and having billie with his arm around you having you sing right alongside him. kid had to be on cloud 9 for days after this show

It's such an enviable experience..
That is the most perverse and unrealistic dream of any fan of any band, and this kid just fucking destroyed it. Good for him, that will stick with him till the day he dies.
He became a legend among his friends. Cool of Billie to do that.
I bet that was an absolute beauty live! That kid will remember it for the rest of his life.
It’s one thing to be a musician. It’s another thing to be a musician, and a performer.
I’ve actually met Billie several times and mike was a regular at this restaurant I worked for and he always came to the line and thanked us. Also he gave us all personal tips I don’t care about how punk they are people hate about pop punk but what about the Ramon’s🤔 rock n roll high school is so incredibly punk lolz🖕🏻
Lucky!
What restaurant was it?
They've paid the dues and are still lovely lads, cheers
