- The Coverups (Green Day) - Drain You (Nirvana cover) - Albany, Live, 12-19-18, The Ivy Room. Secret Show! Billie Joe: It's all fun and games, but when it comes to your own generation... it's a little weirder.. :P
Other Tidbits:
On the show’s flyer, it said “Dress Up!” so many attendees wore holiday costumes and festive attire, including the band! Admission was only $17, and with it, we also got a raffle ticket. Several prizes were raffled off, including the festive holiday hats that Mike, Billie Joe and Chris wore during the show, and a rare compilation vinyl from Fuel, Thumper, Monsula and Filth. The biggest prize, however, was their black 1992 Cadillac limousine that the band previously used to travel to all the Coverups shows. Mike: “And it’s totally smoggable” lol.
The winners, coincidentally, were Lani Torres and Summer Gerbing, co-owners of the Ivy Room! For the previous show at The Uptown in Oakland, the band teased the crowd into thinking they were giving away their limo, only to then give away a Bird Scooter, lol.
The Ivy Room is a bar and music venue which has a capacity of only 196 people and there were ~125 friends and family in attendance. The previous 5 Coverups shows were held in Albany at the Ivy Room, Thee Parkside in San Francisco and The Uptown in Oakland.
The Coverups, Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt, Jason White, Bill Schneider and Chris Dugan, all hung out after the show, talking and taking pictures with friends, family and fans. For 'American Girl', Jason Beebout of Samiam, a punk band from Berkeley, California, sang the lead vocals. For ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go’, Michelle Gonzalez of Spitboy and Kamala and the Karnivores joined them on the vocals and played the tambourine. And for the final couple songs of Corrupted Morals, Billie Joe sang the lead vocals and played guitar on ‘In the End’ and ‘Be All You Can Be’, which was included on the soundtrack to the documentary Turn It Around: Story of East Bay Punk.
Many of the fans recognized each other from previous Green Day concerts. However, because the Ivy Room could only allow in fans 21 years old and over, some fans could not make it.
Mike Dirnt: Could I get a real beer? lol (they previously were all drinking non-alcoholic Clausthalers)

My favorite band playing my other favorite band song
Hector Jacques Giovani Lima Santos im sorry but this is lies dont @ me
Hector Jacques Giovani Lima Santos Yes same!!!
Me too! Now can we get Kurt and co. covering Armatage Shanks???
Steve Wilson yeah, if he was alive
Hector Jacques Giovani Lima Santos Best thing to ever happened to me
Drain You is def one of Nirvana’s most melodic punk songs, perfect group for a cover!
Drain You is the most pop punk a grunge song can get
(not saying it is pop punk, but if i had to pick a pop-punk song, drain you is great)
@@r3strt The back half of Nevermind in between Polly and Something in the Way was pretty much a pop punk album
@@r3strt it's funny you say that I've been playing it and I keep putting pop punk styled riffs over it. I'm a big blink fan too lol
Got my thumbs up
Breed also sounds like pop punk
I like how Billie says “it’s different when it’s from your generation”
I thought that was one of the gayest things ever. To each their own I guess.
Right he made me feel awkward inside lol
Billie Joe Armstrong singing a Nirvana original. Dreams do come true.
+
For real.
omg my heart would be filled with so much joy if I went to a green day concert and they whipped out this one, holy fuck
It would be better than Dave grohl playing
It’s not Green Day
@@aaronsnyder5651 Agreed; unless Dave sang then I think it would be equal
its not green day
Your heart is gay.
Kurt is smiling his ass off right now. Great cover showing respect to your contemporary.
It makes me happy to know that Kurt actually saw Green Day shortly before he died
Green Day covering my favorite Nirvana song??? Christmas came early
Same dude
I think this band are the coverups
Same!!
Who is green day? I only know The Coverups
YES.
One of the first times I've heard a Nirvanna cover and didn't cringe. Billy Joe nails it. Embodied the best parts of Kurt, but stayed true to his style as well. Fantastic cover.
The only thing that isn't true to Kurt's style is you can understand Billie. Lmao
The only thing that isn't true to Kurt's style is you can understand Billie. Lmao
Nirvana is sacred territory to do a cover. Luckily not everybody does them and the best I’ve seen is Seether and I can’t believe I’m going to say Post Malone also.
@@boduke6306 seether is terrible bud. Such a try hard, just like puddle of Mudd. They just wanna be Kurt its sad.
I thought Post Malone did a pretty good job when he covered the Nevermind album. BJ did good here. This has always been my favorite Nirvana song and I'm just glad that neither of them did the scream.
This is the most Dad thing ever. Midlife crisis dads starting a cover band and playing small clubs even tho they're actual rock stars
David Katthöfer yeah fuck them for having fun! What assholes!!
@@epichalocat2887 what?
Amazing comment great job.
Angry but still one heck of a comment
Because music is “better” in an arena instead of a small club? Do you even KNOW how bands like Green Day got started? You’ve never even heard of 924 Gilman, have you?
Billie forgot the scream
I feel like anywhere from the 90s to 2005, Billie would've done the scream pretty well lol
He's old
@@monstergod888 he's 46, is that too old to do the scream
thats because he can't... he never had a cool scream
Kurt didn't always do the scream live
I think they would do great doing a Territorial Pissings cover.
'bang' song controversy.
Yeah, and aneurysm and stayaway
Their song Bang Bang sounds a lot like it.
No man, Billy can't scream like Kurt.
Come on people now...
Not going to lie, this kinda blew my mind. I never thought of Billie Joe covering a Nirvana song. And I'm absolutely blown away by his performance!
His voice and guitar are perfect for Nirvana
Billie is just loving life. Cover bands, block parties, side projects. Love this guy
My favorite band covering my favorite Nirvana song. My heart is full
Just barelly missed each other in the 90s..I feel they would have been went on tour together..such a shame
They'd met each other a handful of times in passing. But not enough to become friends really.
A grunge band and a punk band. Yeah, sure.
Blahblahblah Grunge is an evolution of punk. So yeah it makes sense.
@@kevdawg55 Kurt actually hated being called grunge and when more with punk. He was more of a punk fan than anything
Man that would have been so epic if they toured together!!!
Alas 😢
It’s weird seeing mike playing guitar not bass
holy shit i didn't even recognize him
It'd be cool if he did it more often. I bet he's a really good guitar player too. He seemed to keep up well.
@@ARoseOnTheGrave1 nirvana guitars were extremely simple as kurt always kept it simple,
I didn’t even see him
Well, considering he's forgotten how to play bass, it's not all that surprising.
My favorite band in junior high plays my favorite band in high school.
Same
Billie's so cool to acknowledge Kurt.
Billie singing Nirvana 😍
Grunge not dead! I love Green day and Nirvana
Billie pointing his finger to the sky for Kurt at the end is just awesome!
Green day covering nirvana's song?? What a perfection... 🤙🤙
It's not Green Day :v
Mantap gan :v
@@jhonnycagexrage7458all the green day members jackass
Honestly his voice goes good with it
I’d kill to hear Billie sing Lithium!!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼
They KILLLED THISSSS this was such a great cover billie kept his style while also doing justice to kurt's voice
This is so awesome to see. I remember hearing Billie really liked Nirvana so this is dope to see
4:22 how can you not love this guy
I do believe Kurt would approve. Best cover of a Nirvana song I've ever heard.
BigHead2615 There is also a pretty good cover of Territorial Pissings by Architects. They performed it during a BBC Session, it’s here on RUclips and worth checking out
Hendrik Prostka yessssss I'm not that fan of architects anymore but Sam is an amazing vocalist
BigHead2615 well you need to “search” nirvana covers. That sucked.
You should really check out Foxy Shazams cover of Drain You. They make it their own and do it justice. By far my favorite.
LOCAL H has done some awesome covers of Nirvana in the past and so has SEETHER and Wesley Scantlin from PUDDLE OF MUDD... Check out the videos on RUclips...
Nice cover by Nirvana. Congrats Billy. Kurt will probably like this
*billie
kuet died
**billiee
@@sauarkrokur818 no shit sherlock
nope
Two of my favorite 90s punk bands Nirvana and Green day.Green day covering a Nirvana song is flat out epic!
Great cover of one of the best Nirvana songs. Billie's voice fits perfect
I'm excited like I've never been before. Green Day and Nirvana are my favorites!
Billies voice is so good for nirvana
Two of my favourite bands omg
the best I've seen rock in a more raw and original essence great cover of nirvana, the truth that few people appreciate but is true rock and punk fans in addition to grunge
sebastian hernandez It’s satisfying to see this performance of Drain You by Nirvana. I hope more people don’t overlook their songs.
It’s also good seeing Green Day play a more raw gritty sound. Something different
Nirvana is punk
@@aarongaytan9977 Nirvana is grunge
@@nehemiahzo_ Grunge is just a collection of different rock bands that came from Seattle in the early 90s late 80s. Nirvana is a punk band in the Grunge scene.
Man I just love Billie Joe's voice!!
Really interesting to see Billie kinda be weirded out by playing Nirvana. You can see Kurt's death probably hit Billie pretty hard. He can play "The Who's" songs, no problem, but the tone is a bit different when it's someone he grew up listening to, a contemporary that passed away so brutally.
@Bitch Ass You shut the fuck up
@Bitch Ass he didn't say any of that shit, you prick, shut the fuck up
@Bitch Ass Yeah you fucking imbecile, watch the vid again and shut the fuck up, Bitch ass.
Its a bit ironic that shortly after Kurt's death in '94 is when Green Day and pop punk became insanely popular and partially took away the spotlight from the grunge scene.
@Bitch Ass You're*....Moron
This brings tears to my eyes
Perfect cover. Well done, Billie Joe
Nirvana is my favourite band so seeing one of my other favourite bands playing their song made my day
Everytime I listen to Nirvana's Drain You and Territorial Pissing, I have the picture of Green Day in my head. I was thinking that there might be some kind of connection between Nirvana and Greenday.. and this video appeared. Love you God... 😊
Hello from Indonesia everyone.
Dari indonesia? Sama dong
Green Day were likely fans of Nirvana. They were a huge deal at the time. Nirvana helped break a punk style out into the mainstream again. One other connection is that Green Day and Kurt were boths fans of the East Bay band Fang and each did a cover of them. Green Day did I want to be on TV. Kurt Cobain did Money will roll right in.
@@myamay3348 , Iya. Indonesia kamu Mana?
@@A2Z83 , wow... Thanks alot mate..
inspirasi bermusiknya Nirvana dan Green Day itu banyak yang sama, makanya terasa ada "connection" antara 2 band ini wkwk.
That was truly a fantastic cover of a NIRVANA song by one of my favourite bands ever plus the other band members.
Nirvana Into GreenDay..Love it
This is really good. Pro musicians covering their favorite music. That's where all bands start from.
Cant believe i JUST stumbled on this. My favorite band playing 1 of my fav Nirvana songs 😭😍
I've always wanted to see this.
I was today years old when i knew this existed🤩🤩
This gives me goosebumps
Wow that was moving! One of Kurt's favorites and it was as if Billy conjured his spirit!
For a long time, I waited for the Greenday to bring Nirvana songs and finally I realized that I hope that Greenday can perform the song Nirvana at the big concert later.
I love Green Day and I love this song off the nevermind album, PERFECT!❤
I would see them if he toured with nirvana. He has a great voice.
Green Day +Nirvana =the best thing in the world
I love it! My fav nirvana song sung by my fav band
Perfect! Love it!
Very nice Billy Joe!!!!!!! Very appreciated!!!!
May be the best Nirvana cover Ive ever heard
This is a real treat for the holidays.
I never thought in a million years I would see that
Damn they nailed it
I’m in awe. So amazing
Interesting that he plays it in drop d
The greatest living band playing the greatest dead bands song!!!
OMG respect points just went up 1 billion plus!!!! Do it Billy!!!
I wonder when he points his finger up at the very end that's for Kurt...
Would say so!
probably so :'(
This is pure happiness for my soul.
Epic.
Can't wait til this playlist is live! Thanks for capturing again!!!
Thats somethings i've always wanted to see!! Greenday playing a nirvana song. Thanks for uploading it.
How did I not know about this? So epic. I often have wondered what Billy's opinion of Kurt, and Nirvana was.. This is amazing. Billy does an awesome job with the vocals on this as well.. R.I.P KC
Pretty much every band around that time that wasn't your typical 80s metal band will tell you how much respect they have for Nirvana and how instrumental they were in helping alternative genres of rock like grunge and punk explode in popularity.
One of my favorite songs covered by my favorite guitarist/singer
Billy looks gooood!!! I loved him on I heart radio lmao EPIC!!
Nirvana + Green day , gracias Universo 🙌🏽, Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 🙋🏽♂️
omg ..... very good , very good, very good... level god
OMG!! My dreams come true 😍
This is actually really good
Maybe Billy, Rivers Cuomo and a few others could do some kind of Nirvana covers tour?
@Drunk Drywaller Lol didn't think of Corgan, but if he's down for it, that's cool.
Jay Deester's Music Tutorials local h did
I feel like Corgan, Novoselic, Armstrong, and Grohl would make a great supergroup
Thanks Billy, and we miss you kurt..
my fauvorite song of my fauvorite band played by my other fauvorite band
Love both bands so much. So in love with this. ❤️❤️ 🎸🎸
+ 1 respect for the green day band
Greenday covering my favorite song from my favorite band is just chills all the way 🤘🤘🤘🤘🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Oh oh ! OMG !!!!! Thank you soooo much! My favorite Nirvana song with my favorite guitarist / singer YESS !
THE WORLDS HAVE COLLIDED I CAN DIE HAPPY KNOWING THIS EXISTS
This is an awesome tribute from Green day to my fav band of all times: nirvana
sounds like greenday and nirvana at the same time
Thank You for these videos !! awesome performances from the dudes.
Took them like what, 30 years? I've been waiting 30 YEARS to see Billie do Kurt's songs. My two favorite artists.
Bakers DaMan no it has not been 30 years
@@karzm0323 mid to late 80s is when they were both formed. 30 years. Maybe they didn't hit major success until. the very early nineties, but please don't try and correct what I know when I've listened to both them since they were underground, especially green day.
Wow I never realized how perfectly Green Day this song is. Good on them.
Great song to cover, and well done!
хорошая песня! ;) бессмертного автора... )) в исполнении талантливого коллектива!!! =)
Love it, perfect song for him!
que perfeito 🤩🤩
min 4:21 Billie givin' props to Kurt :)
my two favorite bands ! yesss
Sounds so good!!
You call Green Day “The Coverups?”
It’s an Albany expression.
I see.
well im from utica and haven’t heard of that expression
“My god what’s going on in there!!”
amazing!
Imagine hearing live your favorite song ever!! ❤❤
but this is AMAzing for real amazing. I am astonished...
