@@AGENTARMESNo, it's not AI. This guy makes original songs, and his voice sounds a little similar. It's just the matter of putting your voice to sing in specific manner
Green Day was one of the first bands I became absolutely obsessed with. I own every album they put out from 39/smooth to Uno/Dos/Tre. My high school art class projects were Green Day album cover and logo ripoffs. I loved them and tied their music deeply to my identity, and now I rarely ever listen to them. Their recent output has tainted my love for their truly wonderful body of work and that makes me sad. I want to see them put out one more substantial, respectable album before they're remembered as irrelevant laughing stocks, if Father of All didn't already seal that deal. At the very least I want to be able to enjoy their music again.
It happens to all bands. They have reached a point where they are no longer cultural innovators, but, rather have become part of the cultural heritage. They're 50 year old guys trying to appeal to the youth demographic. At the same time they are out of step with their own peers as far as those people who were supporting them when they first broke into the mainstream. It's the course of history. Green Day will be around for a long time. It's just a question of whether or not they embrace the fact that a day is going to come when they understand that the only thing people want to hear from them are the gems from the Dookie - Nimrod era.
We'll always have the original albums and besides. Who doesn't like listening to "OH YEAH" over and over and over and over and over and over and over....(one eternity later).....and over and over and over again?
21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece and was their last quality, good album. Everything after that has been just bare minimum. I like a handful of songs from the trilogy and RevRad was decent, but FOAM was garbage.
For those of you who have no experience in DAW’s, the second song uses the default artificial sequencing drums from garage band, you can tell from the stiff but roomy sound of the kick and snare. So all in all pretty accurate video lol
I was born at just the right time to be intensly nostalgic about early 2000's rock music that everyone loves to poke fun at. Hybrid Theory, Meteora, American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown, etc. are albums I can't help but love, despite their reputation.
"And the government is bad" Haha this is so accurate. That first song is so damn good tho, cant believe its just an impression and not a real GD song. Full download link in FLAC format when????
Surely Revolution Radio wasn't that bad of an album sure it was more pop than punk but it really wasn't a bad album I mean it had some bangers on it like troubled times and Too dumb to die
@@volutedmetal8543 That’s a good observation, and I can definitely hear parts of J.A.R in there, but for me it reminded me of Burnout right away, but I think it sounds like multiple different Green Day songs though tbh.
The first song sounded so familiar, but at the same time not. It sounded like something the old Green Day could have done and I would have been all over that song just as I am with most of their older and semi-older songs. I still love Green Day and I will proudly say that they are still my favourite band even tho their newer songs are not as good as they used to be. Green Day has done so much for me, which is why I went to the concert that they just had in Sweden. They still bring some of the older and better songs because they are still aware what their fans want.
Went to their recent concert in Denmark. Haven't listened to anything after American Idiot, but still knew almost all of the songs they played. They know what we want 😂
As an avid green day fan who has listened to all of their albums, this honestly rings true. I tend to revisit their older stuff way more frequently now.
Father of all is a masterpiece, just saying. Maybe read through the lines of their lyrics, knowing it came out a month before tge pandemic, and basically reprophetized that the Network would cone back. Green day, Billie, has an eye on the future that is scary at times. He is the jesus of suburbia after all. Their new work is insane just like their old stuff
I just can't stop listening to the first song. I got into Green Day just like 8 years ago so I don't feel that nostalgia regarding their first records, but damn it feels good to hear something new with the same style as their old stuff
I have come back to this video 3 times because I cannot for the life of me understand how your impression of Billie Joe in the first song is THAT good. Like that might be the best I have EVER heard. If you made that a real song I would listen to it so much. Edit: didn’t know you were the zerwee guy so I guess it makes sense you can do impressions. If you make a Green Day one and call it Blue Night or something I would listen to it on loop for days.
Hell no. strumming four power chords song with standard tuning overdriven guitar while singing pseudo-social critique lyrics is not what you can call musical growth. and Billie Joe has the gal to call other band sucks. maybe he should listen to his own new music, then he would know how bad music sounds like.
@@thatoneguy3332 Yeah. I definitely seem to dislike it more than most people, and like I said I unironically listen to Pierce The Veil my opinion has no value lol
As long as you're not anal about "REEE NOT PUNK," even new Green Day has some decent songs... but it's VERY hit or miss. It's obvious they're experimenting, I just wish they were better at it. I would never call new Green Day "punk" though. Pretty sure even they don't like calling themselves that.
Damn you had me at the change of pitch in the vocals for the new Green Day. Just missing that unnecessary throwback garage sound they’re trying to do to sound like the younger Beatles and overusing words like razor blades, conspiracies, and revolution…😂
I gotta say, you nailed them both well. Wish the first song was expanded, it’s a banger. Loved Green Day way back when I discovered the American Idiot songs on RUclips as a kid and my dad got CDs and I listened to both the old and new stuff and I enjoy them both (except Father of All).
You nailed it. The impression and the message you’re trying to get across. Green Day was my first love. They got me into punk rock. It makes me sad to hear their new music.
The first song is the greatest thing I've ever heard and if you don't make it a full version I will ugly cry to your mom and tell her you called me a mean word.
Green Day fan of almost 18 years here. In my opinion, their last really great album was 21CB. revrad was objectively good but still had some duds. And I think it's better if we just don't talk about the trio albums or father of all... LOL anyway Dookie and American Idiot are their best albums.
If only I had an ounce of your knowledge about Green Day, 18 years of tedious studying of their work to come to the conclusion that Uno, Dos and Tre sucked and American Idiot and Dookie are their best albums. I'm mindblown, this has truly been a revelation.
As somebody who spent a lot of my childhood listening to Dookie but then was embarrassed to call myself a Green Day fan in the early 2000s, I fully relate to this.
Maybe for you it's sad, but by that rationale, I would like every Album of the Year artist, and frankly, that's just not how tastes work, like, at all. By that same rationale I have to like Phil Collins, Toto, Taylor Swift, Billie Eillish, Christopher Cross, among many, many other artists who just aren't my thing. Not ridiculing anybody for liking them, but they're just not for me. On top of that, I was a teenager at the time of American Idiot's release, and punk was at a weird time where it was either actually derived from punk music or it was basically no different from pop music. Not saying I hate any of this music now or find it embarrassing to like, or that people should feel embarrassed for liking it, but that at the time it was vastly different from the Green Day I grew up with, a band that was more strictly derivative of early punk music. And American Idiot is far from that. Art is subjective. People's tastes differ and change. When I was a teenager, like most teenagers, I was worried what people would think of me. Tastes are subjective. Not trying to disparrage anybody, or mock their tastes, and the idea that I have to like every critically acclaimed, award winning album is just, again, not at all how tastes work or should work. I don't love every movie that wins Best Picture at the Oscars. In fact, outside of Parasite, I doubt the winner has ever been my favorite or one of my favorite movies of that given year. And I would argue that the Grammy's are further from my personal tastes.
Haha I actually thought the first song was a thing. And although I stopped listening to the stuff they put out after American Idiot (absolute masterpiece), I still love them. They're legends, like it or not. Actually saw them live back in 2017, and man, can they put on a great show!
My dude, you have to make a full length on that first song. You set it up to where now everyone wants to hear it, perfect set up for a brand new content
I think Green Day is really what got me into music while I was in highschool. By then all my friends hated it, but I always liked their first few albums. Their modern stuff I couldn't stand past American Idiot.
YOOOOOOOOO FULL VERSION RELEASED ON SPOTIFY
I picked a fire time to rewatch this video
YESS
I was watching some Green Day live performances and this video just popped in my head and this comment is 4 hours old. Must be a sign!
WHAT DO I SEARCH TO FIND IT
YYESSSSS
That single note being played over and over at the end. Was one of the funniest things I've heard.
The four different notes before going straight back was what got me
that note sort of reminded me of the Pixies, but the Pixies did it better than Green Day
It leaves something to be desired
@@Tony_Regime the tone is very joey santiago, yeah. in fact, the whole song sounds a bit like "wave of mutilation".

Lol THAT SOLO WAS SICK
That's A pretty amazing impersonation. I thought for a few seconds that the first one was an actual Green Day song

Same here 😂
I wish it was. It was sooo good.
Honestly, until the “and the government is bad” lyrics, i sincerely thought these were actual Green Day songs I didn’t know
Ikr, I haven’t listened to all of Green Day’s early material so the first song just went over my head. Like “yep, that’s Billie alright.”
I was thinking, "Weird, Billy Joe is sounding a lot like Rivers Cuomo these days." Then I clued in.
I think that part was too anarchist for me.
Ngl it took me a second to realize it wasn’t real, I was like “Wow those might be the emptiest lyrics I’ve ever heard” then I saw who’s video it was

I was born at just the right time to be intensly nostalgic about early 2000's rock music that everyone loves to poke fun at. Hybrid Theory, Meteora, American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown, etc. are albums I can't help but love, despite their reputation.
I love them too if that makes it better
@FNAFFAN92 Lincoln park is evenescence for dudes lol.
Hybrid Theory is a masterpiece
@@samuelfraley8737 This guy gets it.
@@hk-4738 thank you meatbag
"And the government is bad" Haha this is so accurate. That first song is so damn good tho, cant believe its just an impression and not a real GD song. Full download link in FLAC format when????
It’s an impression?!
@@soapscap Yep, I legit thought it was a real song
SAME BRO I NEED THIS
Fr man, I really wish it was a full song, its a masterpiece.
i legit thought the first one was a real song i forgot for a second and the second one sounds straight off of rev rad so great job
Surely Revolution Radio wasn't that bad of an album sure it was more pop than punk but it really wasn't a bad album I mean it had some bangers on it like troubled times and Too dumb to die
The two note solo. 😂
Yea I’m gonna have to agree with everybody in the comments and say that we need a full version of that first song 😂
Listen to Burnout from Dookie
@@shub2385 it sounds more like a cross between J.A.R. and Basket Case to me
@@volutedmetal8543 That’s a good observation, and I can definitely hear parts of J.A.R in there, but for me it reminded me of Burnout right away, but I think it sounds like multiple different Green Day songs though tbh.
@@MusicLover-kz6rc full version dropped on Spotify..
@@narutouzamaki159 Really? Is it by the same guy?
As a Green Day fan, who loves most of their stuff, I can say this is incredibly accurate. I have tears in my eyes. Thank you.
The first song sounded so familiar, but at the same time not. It sounded like something the old Green Day could have done and I would have been all over that song just as I am with most of their older and semi-older songs. I still love Green Day and I will proudly say that they are still my favourite band even tho their newer songs are not as good as they used to be. Green Day has done so much for me, which is why I went to the concert that they just had in Sweden. They still bring some of the older and better songs because they are still aware what their fans want.
Went to their recent concert in Denmark. Haven't listened to anything after American Idiot, but still knew almost all of the songs they played. They know what we want 😂
The tune is from Basket Case i think
Yeah it sounds just like Burnout.
It’s basically Burnout.
Yeah unpopular opinion but the album American Idiot was the downfall of green day
That first song sounded more like Green Day than Green Day does holy shit.
Not gonna lie, I would actually love to have the first one as an actual song. That shit's actually good.
As an avid green day fan who has listened to all of their albums, this honestly rings true. I tend to revisit their older stuff way more frequently now.
Father of all is a masterpiece, just saying. Maybe read through the lines of their lyrics, knowing it came out a month before tge pandemic, and basically reprophetized that the Network would cone back. Green day, Billie, has an eye on the future that is scary at times. He is the jesus of suburbia after all. Their new work is insane just like their old stuff
@@94jmbottaroThis is cope. Father Of All is a sterile corporate album that sounds like a mash of AI generated Green Day songs.
@@94jmbottaro bruh, what in the actual fuck are u talking about
Saviors is a decent breath of fresh air
@@jayp9064 true true, def harks back to their older stuff but w newer gd lyrics and a cleaner sound overall
We need a full version of the first one
Yes
Yeah
@anxiety girl lololol
That guitar solo at the end was amazing, best I’ve ever heard!! I must learn that someday!
I hear nothing but accuracy in this video
Thats... accuracy
To be fair. He nailed that ending solo
One thing you have to give even the new green days stuff is that mike is still killing all those basslines
True
mike dirnt is the backbone of green day
@@mindworms5181 agreed 100%
Eh. There's a few exceptions but from American Idiot onwards he pretty much got the Newsted treatment
@@iliketrains3495 listen to any tracks from the trilogy (except for the few that dont have bass) they all have amazing basslines
I have never laughed so hard at a guitar “solo”😂
I just can't stop listening to the first song. I got into Green Day just like 8 years ago so I don't feel that nostalgia regarding their first records, but damn it feels good to hear something new with the same style as their old stuff
I have come back to this video 3 times because I cannot for the life of me understand how your impression of Billie Joe in the first song is THAT good. Like that might be the best I have EVER heard. If you made that a real song I would listen to it so much.
Edit: didn’t know you were the zerwee guy so I guess it makes sense you can do impressions. If you make a Green Day one and call it Blue Night or something I would listen to it on loop for days.
Would it not be Red Night?
Ah yes, a clear sign of musical growth and success
Hell no. strumming four power chords song with standard tuning overdriven guitar while singing pseudo-social critique lyrics is not what you can call musical growth.
and Billie Joe has the gal to call other band sucks. maybe he should listen to his own new music, then he would know how bad music sounds like.
"And the government is bad!" lmao
I love both versions of green day as they are good for 2 types of moods or feelings but man this is funny lol
Yas
Besides Father Of All I agree with you. That album just gives me a migraine and I unironically listen to Pierce The Veil
@@aperson4287 I personally enjoyed a couple songs off FOA but it was definitely disappointing
@@thatoneguy3332 Yeah. I definitely seem to dislike it more than most people, and like I said I unironically listen to Pierce The Veil my opinion has no value lol
As long as you're not anal about "REEE NOT PUNK," even new Green Day has some decent songs... but it's VERY hit or miss. It's obvious they're experimenting, I just wish they were better at it. I would never call new Green Day "punk" though. Pretty sure even they don't like calling themselves that.
We live in the world where op didn't still made the full version of the first song :(
the full version just got released on spotify

@@ujjwal1800 ok
@@narutouzamaki159 ok
Anyone else look up the lyrics of the first song and disappointed to discover it's not a real Green Day song?
Yeah but it got me to listen to Longview for the first time which is great.
@@heinoustentacles5719 sameeee
Nope, I already knew it wasn’t.
"and the government is bad... unless its the government i like. "
Honestly thought that first one was a Green Day song I've never heard. Then when it got to the second one, I understood the joke.
2nd one sounds like if rivers coumo got on vocals
We need a full version of the first song. Seriously, it's so on key, it's unreal.
for 2 mins I thought the first song was an original greenday song holy SHIT ITS SO DAMN GOOD
I legitimately liked that first song lol I’m glad there’s actually a full version
Link?
I love spreading misinformation online
@@birdothegreat you really think somebody would do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?
@@DarkAuraLord
I spread lies every day
@@birdothegreat based
That solo on the second song leaves me wanting to be sedated
As a Green Day fan.
I approve.
That one note lick with the one tiny semi-tone deviation at the end killed me.
Old Green Day: Sounds Actually good
New Green Day: Sounds like a Weezer cover band that is trying out a couple of it's own songs
Damn you had me at the change of pitch in the vocals for the new Green Day. Just missing that unnecessary throwback garage sound they’re trying to do to sound like the younger Beatles and overusing words like razor blades, conspiracies, and revolution…😂

Pure Uncut Cringe
@@roberthasudungan1546 It wasn’t really cringe, just pure mediocrity.
Billy, you’re not allowed to perfectly impersonate this many 90s rock icons. It’s not fair.
This is the fate of all artists: to die based or to live and become cringe
I gotta say, you nailed them both well. Wish the first song was expanded, it’s a banger. Loved Green Day way back when I discovered the American Idiot songs on RUclips as a kid and my dad got CDs and I listened to both the old and new stuff and I enjoy them both (except Father of All).
PLEASE MAKE A FULL VERSION OF FIRST SONG
You nailed it. The impression and the message you’re trying to get across. Green Day was my first love. They got me into punk rock. It makes me sad to hear their new music.
I can recall the notes but I cant recall the sound... Now I wonder how Green Day has been...
I absolutely died when I heard the sick guitar solo at the end 💀
You've got classic Billie's voice down pat. That's an impressive impression.
The first song is the greatest thing I've ever heard and if you don't make it a full version I will ugly cry to your mom and tell her you called me a mean word.
Green Day fan of almost 18 years here. In my opinion, their last really great album was 21CB. revrad was objectively good but still had some duds. And I think it's better if we just don't talk about the trio albums or father of all... LOL anyway Dookie and American Idiot are their best albums.
If only I had an ounce of your knowledge about Green Day, 18 years of tedious studying of their work to come to the conclusion that Uno, Dos and Tre sucked and American Idiot and Dookie are their best albums. I'm mindblown, this has truly been a revelation.
Nimrod is my personal favorite album of theirs and yes, Father of All is a lazy, phoned in embarrassment
@@RisingSun96 Or, perhaps people can have opinions, and you could be mature enough to actually respect that.
@@RisingSun96 Or, perhaps people can have opinions, and you could be mature enough to actually respect that.
Insomniac is their best in my opinion
they sound like if the beatles started consuming weed and played pop punk
Over two years later and the Father of All billboard still feels like a fever dream
If the first song was on Spotify, expanded or as it is now, I would listen to it so so much.
As somebody who spent a lot of my childhood listening to Dookie but then was embarrassed to call myself a Green Day fan in the early 2000s, I fully relate to this.
Why though? They had great great music in the early 2000s?
@@randomstuff508 was gonna say i think American Idiot was great
This is it right here. It became embarrassing to be a Green Day fan, genuinely lmao
The fact that it was apparently embarrassing to be a fan of a critically acclaimed, award winning record is sad lol.
Maybe for you it's sad, but by that rationale, I would like every Album of the Year artist, and frankly, that's just not how tastes work, like, at all. By that same rationale I have to like Phil Collins, Toto, Taylor Swift, Billie Eillish, Christopher Cross, among many, many other artists who just aren't my thing. Not ridiculing anybody for liking them, but they're just not for me.
On top of that, I was a teenager at the time of American Idiot's release, and punk was at a weird time where it was either actually derived from punk music or it was basically no different from pop music.
Not saying I hate any of this music now or find it embarrassing to like, or that people should feel embarrassed for liking it, but that at the time it was vastly different from the Green Day I grew up with, a band that was more strictly derivative of early punk music. And American Idiot is far from that.
Art is subjective. People's tastes differ and change. When I was a teenager, like most teenagers, I was worried what people would think of me. Tastes are subjective. Not trying to disparrage anybody, or mock their tastes, and the idea that I have to like every critically acclaimed, award winning album is just, again, not at all how tastes work or should work. I don't love every movie that wins Best Picture at the Oscars. In fact, outside of Parasite, I doubt the winner has ever been my favorite or one of my favorite movies of that given year. And I would argue that the Grammy's are further from my personal tastes.
As a Green Day fan, this is completely accurate
As someone who enjoys both New and Old Green Day, this is 100% accurate.
Haha I actually thought the first song was a thing.
And although I stopped listening to the stuff they put out after American Idiot (absolute masterpiece), I still love them. They're legends, like it or not. Actually saw them live back in 2017, and man, can they put on a great show!
Yuck lol
My dude, you have to make a full length on that first song. You set it up to where now everyone wants to hear it, perfect set up for a brand new content
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
"i'm in love with you, and the government is bad"
Green Day songs in a nutshell
I think Green Day is really what got me into music while I was in highschool. By then all my friends hated it, but I always liked their first few albums. Their modern stuff I couldn't stand past American Idiot.
"I like girl. The government should lower estate taxes. Razorblades. Millionaires are punk too. Bottle rockets."
LMFAO your tramp is none of the government's business
Virgin Green Day vs Simp Green Day.
