+bowtie3 +1 All the bullshit aside, when you break it down they are a great band and put on a hell of a live show! I was lucky enough to see them live several times during the mid-late 90s before they became more pg-13 and the only other band members were the horn section for "Knowledge" and "King for a day" lol
Green Day and rock and roll have changed my life. I'm a better person because of it. Green Day has helped me through the tough times in high school, being judged and bullied, but music has helped me overcome. Thank you Billie, Mike, and Tré-3
I started playing guitar about 4 years ago after seeing Green Day live. I feel I am still in the beginning because there is so much to learn. I first started learning Green Day songs, then Oasis, then Metallica and The Beatles and The Who. I know loads more but I owe it all to these 3 men. If it wasn't for these and rock n roll I wouldn't be happy with myself and wouldn't be here. Rock n Roll changes lives. Those who say it doesn't and those who say Green Day are shit I have one thing to tell them. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them.
I'm a somewhat decent song writer and had big influence from green day.. I don't write punk or hard rock but still their influence on my music is noticable .. thanks green day for being what you are
Tech Gamer at the 2013 iheartradio festival. they have green day 45 minutes but CUT it to 25 to make more time for justin Bieber or someone. billie had a meltdown and smashed his guitar on stage
It's funny cause the debate is about whether or not they're punk rock but blowing up and not giving a shit what the old scene thinks is in line with punk rock ethos
Mike dirnt and Billie used to have sleepovers almost every weekend. There was a time where mikes dad went to work at 6:00 pm and when he came back at 2:00 am they were still playing. Billie said “ hey look what mike can do” and mike played crazy train and a few other songs from start to finish. Truly an inspiring story.
Green Day is such a good band. And that punk sound just comes so natural to them. I think that's perhaps what I like about them most. If I had to pick a musician in this band that stands out above the others it would be the drummer. That dude is awesome. Love how busy he is and how much sound he feels with that kit. Now you might think I'm a drummer because of what I just said but I am not. I love playing the guitar. But you can't beat a great drummer. And to me the drummer really really accentuates this band well. Love turning on the radio hearing an old Green Day song and just focusing in on those drums.
+Punk And Rock Bands pretty sure it's more than the glue you sniffed in kindergarten. but seriously that's how they fix guitars, basses. hell I had a snare crack and the repair man glued that back together
I remember seeing these guys on MTV, Live New Years night 1994. I was a kid...my siblings enlightened me. What an impressive show...full of energy and rage - clearly they were on something. Fast forward to the 2000's, 2010's and beyond...they devolved into this. Sad.
You know Green Day is probably one of those bands that you just cannot hate no matter what genre you love/beling to. This is coming from heavy metal fan. They are simply awesome.\m/
Not true. When I was 12 I was the biggest Green Day fan ever. Then I did a 180 and completely hated them for 12 years. No joke. Now I'm going back at 24 and rediscovering them and they aren't so bad lol
me and my friend love green day and right now we're trying to start a band so we can play at our high school, kinda like woodstock, wild! None of these ideas would have ever come up if we never found about them, thank you green day.
rileydotzip yeah....this was the trilogy days when Jason was the rhythm guitarist. Must be because Billie, Mike and Tre are much more famous because of the earlier albums when Jason was a touring guitarist
That's right Billy. They are I started playing drums to classic rock but before I bought my drumset in February a ckuppe moths ago, I was sad and not confident to do much. After playing for so long I feel FREAKING AWSOME
I loooooooooooovvvvvvveeeee tre's hair and outfit and everything in this video, its the first time in a loooooonnnng time that ive seen his hair styled like that and its normal coloured. Love you tre and i love you too billie and mike
I find it kind of ironic how Johnny Rotten says that he is punk through and through but in the end he is a sell out, I meant what type of punk advertises butter on the TV for millions of people to see
Billie wanted to play at 4, but his hands were too small :-) What a cool little Green Day fact. "Anyone who says Rock&Roll doesn't change lives is full of s**t" I love that quote!
I can see the guitar center meeting room now..."lets get them to talk about all of their influences and then show each players signature model at the end" well done GC
It’s Mike Dirnt. Dirnt is a nickname people gave him, because he used to play air bass in high school. He used to say “dirnt dirnt dirnt” while pretending to pluck bass strings.
g man tramp So what? he isn't supposed to be a lead player... Green Day doesn't have a lead player.. They never meant to have solos but after a while, noticibly during and beyond American Idiot, their music understaning completely changed.. The guy wants to play solos for once in his OWN BAND and you critisize it? lol.. For once, green day is not a pop band who more often then not are famous because of what they do off the stage. Green Day's become famous because of their unique and good music. And I don't see you jumping around the stage :) easy to say crap when you're annonymous behind a keyboard..
I remember when I met Derek saint Holmes at guitar center when I was a kid back in like 2007 or 2008. And he had me play strangle hold with him on bass.

"Play with your friends" Mike, what if I don't have any friends? What do I do then?
play with yourself.. oh wait...
Talk to the voices in your head.
I have friends do but I'm the only one that likes pop-punk music
@Venositer yeah their new stuff is, not their old stuff. Besides in the video about the pop disaster tour Mike actually says POP PUNK
come play with me, i live in northern georgia
green day is freaking awesome
They should make a series called "40 and hot"
And these guys wouldn't be on it.

Sure they would. To each his own, I guess.

billie broke the gibson lol

ONE FUCKING MINUTE! You got to be fucking kidding me. You fucking fuckers give me one minute left!
Green Day was my favorite as a younger kid, & nowadays I still listen to them a lot, & they're still within my top 10 favorite rock bands, lol.
Along with Billy Tallent, Hedley, Gun's N Roses, & Metallica, etc.
Only 2:34? This should be an hour long at least with lots of jamming. Opportunity missed!
Ikr!!
To be fair, they didn't look like they wanted to be there in the first place
At least we get to see Billie getting the guitar he destroyed at iHeartRadio lol
I read the 2:34 in the way the Billie yelled ‘1 fcking minute?!’

Hey Im Mike Dirnt from Green Day
They don't look a day over 25
Especially Billie joe haha
If Green Day has taught me anything, it's that speed keeps you from aging! :D
I know!
i though tre did some serious drugs but he still looks young
Guitaraholic458 in utero 🤘🏻😝
words cannot explain how much I love Green Day!
I kinda cringed when Billie said he was inspired by the sex pistols since John Lydon openly hates green day
I think that speaks to Billie's character thet he's thick skinned enough to still cite them as an influence
John Lydon has a history of shitting on a lot of great bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
Good point, but to be honest that whole movement was a hoax anddd sex pistol is just a band
Thepumpspook Kylo Bren yeah whoops
It's funny cause the debate is about whether or not they're punk rock but blowing up and not giving a shit what the old scene thinks is in line with punk rock ethos
Mike: my mom had a roommate who played guitar, and taught me stuff and...
Billie: My first musical memory was when I was 4...
Tre: MUSICIANNNNS
Bille joe is what made me start playing guitar, and I'm really good at playing guitar
That's subtle...
O GEE REALLY? DATS AMAZING!!!
Same here :)
If you just play green day you're probably not very good, no offense to Green Day of course.
Yea... "really good".
I'm pretty sure that is the Guitar that Billie Joe smashed to pieces at the I Heart Radio festival. lol
yup

Wasnt the guitar Billie Joe got the same guitar he smashed at the iHeart meltdown?
Someone repaired his guitar for him for the tour because it was the first one Gibson gave him.

Sex Pistols did more for music in under 12 months than Green day has in 25 years. And they did it without eyeliner.
"Sex Pistols did more for music in under 12 months than green day has in 25 years." That's the stupidest sentence I have EVER heard.
Like that matters
You don't have to do anything for music to be great artists
