He has too much to lose in his life to deliberately shorten his own lifespan. Good for him for sobering up! (Granted, he's still in Green Day, so he probably still gets fucked up a little from time to time--just goes with the territory.) I think Mike Dirnt quit smoking cigarettes after something like 20+ years of smoking. I hope he enjoys a long life.
When Billie thanked John Kiffmeyer and his reaction he said. "I know' just hit me in my feels man. Like imagine leaving to go to college and this band you were in blows up. I would be so jealous and hold a grudge but John genuinely looks so proud of them. He's a legend.
You cant say that green day would be green day today with him still. Thats not how it works. Same With Blink 182. Travis made the band better and so did Tre with Green Day.
@@rickhoward1516 where in the original comment does it say that green day would be the same with him? at least read a comment before you reply lmao, you're mouthing drivel
Love how the crowd goes wild for Billie Joe, he's truely one of the most influencial rock n roll figures in the last 30 years and totally deserves this kind of appreciation
If you can't use to word "fuck" in an acceptance speech for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, you can't use it anywhere. "Fuck" is the singular most rock & roll word in all of existence.
i cried when billie talked about gilman because a place like that is everything i'm missing in life. just. like? a place to call home?? i mean i have a home and i'm lucky to have the family i have but god i just wish i had a place to be loud and sing and dance and feel like part of something and i'm so damn lost and alone lately can you miss a place you've never been to??
I agree, I feel like things like this in the 90s and 80s were more common but these days everything feels to dangerous, people are more distant than ever, it sucks. but hey, try to be the change in the world! start scouting some local places, use social media to your advantage. try to build a community. idk how old you are, and I know we're still in covid times, but give it a shot :)
Being a Green Day from from early years this feels like winning award, or being a Proud family member sitting right there.. It makes me feel old to watch this and see them inducted into Hall of Fame. Looking back at all the years Wow. who would think A band could give you so many memories. Green Day I am so grateful to have had these albums all put out as i was growing up. Concerts and Fun eras.. it's been a blast to have been a part of the Green Day Idiot Nation . Congrats Boys! . - I Forever Love Green Day ROCk N ROLL
It kind of feels like Green Day getting in the hall of fame is a win for us as well. All the kids that love the Ramoned but were a little too young. Green day is us. This is a win for the punks.
You know you're in the presence of a great band when they have so much love for each other, their families and their fans. They created some of the most iconic music we all know and love. The melodies are so good and the sonics are out of this world. Rock on, guys!
These guys are talking about their musical heroes and now they ARE going to be some aspiring band’s musical heroes. Their music just keeps getting better too.
When it comes to music, Green Day is the love of my life 💚💚 I still remember the exact moment I first heard a Green Day song and I will forever be grateful that I got a bad cold two weeks later and when my dad asked if he could get me anything (in hindsight he might have talked about medicine) I asked for American Idiot and he drove off and got it for me. In double hindsight it was just the kind of medicine that I needed in my life. They changed so many lifes with their music and continue to do so. This is so well deserved 💚💚 Billie will love Rock'n'Roll til the end of his days, and I will Love Green Day til the end of mine.
me too, hearing Mike talk about human connections- when I had the good fortune to be right in front of him for an entire show, with him looking me right in the face- got the waterworks going good
Green day deserves to be in the rock n roll hall of fame Edit: guys I know their in the rocknroll hall of fame I'm just saying I'm glad their in their their my favorite band also thank you for all the likes I've never got this many likes on a comment
Love them, always will, thank you Green Day for changing my life in the early 90s, introduced me to punk and help make me who I am today, you’ll always have a special place in my heart, thanks
Billie Joe is aging backwards, I just saw Green Day live for the first time at Hella Mega Tour, Historic Crew Stadium, Columbus, Ohio and they blew that place up and can I just saw Billie Joe is a phenomenal front man his energy was high all the way thru and was completely engaged with his audience every minute! They’re real musicians with a great frontman, they deserve to be in the Hall of Fame🤟🎶🥰the concert is up on my you tube channel, great memories for me and my son his fiancé his sister and her boyfriend, the whole concert was killer! I’ll go see them again for sure!
What three incredible Human Beings, they clearly love each other, those around them, and their fans....Billy Joe knows his musical heritage!! Probably why he covered "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us", so well.....Please listen to the Everly Brothers original.....
The most admirable thing about these amazing people is that beyond everything else, they have so much passion for what they do and love for the people around them and their fans. I love them🤘❤️
I have been a fan of green day ever since I was a kid and they are one if the only bands who always make amazing songs, there are so many songs that I relate to and look into life with and how I feel in life they deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame all the way I💜 you guys and I will always be a fan of your music no matter how old it gets💜💜💜💜💜
I have to say this is the awesome and best speech from each and one of them to speak and such an honor to have them to succeed in the Rock And Roll of Fame. These guys do remind me that being myself could be the best and awesome thing if it wasn’t for their music. I hope that one day I get to meet them and tell them how they really inspired me for being who I am if it wasn’t for them during my high school days. And right now, looking back at it, it wouldn’t change it.
With great love from Scotland🏴, love use guys very very much and thank you for all the great music that you guys have gave as all through the years, thanx very much you really deserved this award!
Lol as someone once said Armstrong is probably the worst and best last name ever, you really have to make it big or else you are failing Louis, Neil, Lance, and Billie
Back in 1994, an 11 year old me was watching MTV, basket case came on, and just like that, I was hooked. Bought Dookie (multiple times on cassette and CD because I wore them out) bought kerplunk, 1039, insomniac, warning, nimrod, American Idiot, 21st century break down, uno, dos, tre, Revolution radio, and father of all… When they’re in town I never miss seeing them perform. Each song from their albums is forever engraved into childhood, teenage, and adult memories. I absolutely love Green Day. They are without a doubt the best live band to see perform. And FOB was right on their intro, BJA’s stance playing guitar is an iconic silhouette. Can’t wait to see them play again.
19:27 me too! I want to slowly close my eyes and die listening to rock and roll, its a forever relationship that brings me joy and its the only thing that brings me closer to god
I also loved rock n roll nearly my entire life, and I always will the rest of my life. Green Day will also be my favorite band the rest of my life!!!! ❤
I Love you So much....Some think that you don't Deserve this but they've only heard about "Dookie" & "American idiot"......I suggest all the haters to listen "Insomniac, Nimrod & Warning" too. Thank you
Ok lets get this over with really all you have to do is listen to dookie, insomniac, nimrod, warning, American idiot, 21st century breakdown, UNO, DOS & Tré, revolution radio and Father of All. See not that hard
I grew up on the same street as Billy Joe. I was about 8 years younger but I remember hearing music walking home from school. I still see his mom around walking her dogs. Up to a few years ago, I’d still see his cool cars down the street when he’d come and visit. Pretty fun to see them after all these years come from some small Bay Area towns make it into the HOF.
Mike's part of the acceptance speech was the best - thanking the people whose floors they slept on, the radio shows and small record labels, they never get thanked for that shit but it's all super important.
Now that we had bohemian rhapsody, rocket man, yesterday and those Elvis and montley crue movies I’ll be satisfied when we have a Radiohead and green day movie
A rare sighting of mike with sleeves
Your right tho
He kinda looks like Putin
He wore sleeves when he was playing Boys with Ringo Starr.
😂 true
Yeah ikr
I want a movie about them.
ikr bro ! i want too !
Yessss
Yessss
They kinda did it’s called ordinary world
Baby Yoda bro thats not billie’s life ! thats just a musicians life which billie acted nothing else
Billie visibly nervous repeating the speech in his mind while Mike and Tre were talking it's one of the cutest things I've ever seen
Oh my god I need to go back and watch again now
When Billie said thanks for rehab, I almost cried. I'm so glad he got sober, we cant loose another great musician like him to drugs
He has too much to lose in his life to deliberately shorten his own lifespan. Good for him for sobering up! (Granted, he's still in Green Day, so he probably still gets fucked up a little from time to time--just goes with the territory.)
I think Mike Dirnt quit smoking cigarettes after something like 20+ years of smoking. I hope he enjoys a long life.
He's definitely still using alcohol and weed. Maybe in moderation. But trust me, with his mental health, there's no way he's stopping.
i was sober now i’m drunk agaaaaaain
@@turdburglar2897 now, he doesnt drink alcohol or use hard drugs but he still smokes weed. I love seeing him more healthy
@PEACEMAKER_009 he's still drinking alcohol. He's admitted to drinking in moderation. Same goes for him smoking weed.
Here is a rare sighting of Frankenstein, dracula, and the joker together
Billie rocking that debut The Undertaker look
Wtf 🤣🤣😳😒😂
Hah so fucking true
Lmao why Is this so true
LOL
This is a rare sighting of mike speaking
Without telepropter...
Tre looks like a combination of the Joker and the Penguin
The hair of the Joker, the thickness of the Penguin.
Oml hahaha
and Eric Cartman
Lol! I love the comments
after I read that comment, I'm watching the video and laughing a lot
Tre's face shines (literally), Mike looks like Vladimir Putin, and Billie still looks young
Best band ever
i was just about to comment about mike looking like putin
3:53 😳😳
Billie on is 43 tho then 49 now
I can't unsee putin now 🤣
Tre is literally the Joker
Tre: fuck, shit
Billie: ya know?
Mike: uh uhm
True
The accuracy 😭
LMFAO I LOVE THIS COMMENT
You can literally see Billie repeating his speach in the background and like pretending he is not. I really love him, so cute and tender
I think Green Day may be source to immortality Billie, Mike and Tre just do not age
Zgadzanko
Truth
@@onlybyautomobile lol yes
I agree (minus the hair)
Idk Mike actually looks like he ages
When Billie thanked John Kiffmeyer and his reaction he said. "I know' just hit me in my feels man. Like imagine leaving to go to college and this band you were in blows up. I would be so jealous and hold a grudge but John genuinely looks so proud of them. He's a legend.
He said "you're welcome, man", but it insinuates the same thing.
You cant say that green day would be green day today with him still. Thats not how it works. Same
With Blink 182. Travis made the band better and so did Tre with Green Day.
@@rickhoward1516 where in the original comment does it say that green day would be the same with him? at least read a comment before you reply lmao, you're mouthing drivel
if the band still with John, i wouldnt hear Tre's burnout drum strokes
You can really tell how much they love each other. Heartwarming and beautiful.
I love how Billie made sure to hug both of them after their speeches. He is so tender.
As a Green Day fan for 26 years I was loving this as a music fan, but 7:13 got me right in the feels. Mike's wife is a badass. 👊
I was the 86th like ... lol
I was the 109th like … lol
I was the 124th like ... lol
Yeah, good on her
Praying she stays cancer free 🙏
"We all don't like teleprompters"
I heart radio: *sweat intensifies*
the flashbacks
The mission, the nightmares... they’re finally over
So cool that Tré mentioned John Kiffmeyer.
Cool tré cool
respect
Yea as the bands first drummer he deserves a mention
@@elliotworman7569 incorrect. Most don’t give Raj credit but he was first.
@@jg7102 not really, Raj Punjabi was a part of Sweet Children, and not Green Day
One of my favourite acceptance speeches ever
Love how the crowd goes wild for Billie Joe, he's truely one of the most influencial rock n roll figures in the last 30 years and totally deserves this kind of appreciation
The whole band does
I love how Tré swears even in a formal ceremony, he doesn't care about vulgar 'cuz he's punk 🤣
It's Green Day. This IS their formal speaking style
Really?😂😂😂
@@devilsoffspring5519 yes. Just ask me! I’m dookie!
If you can't use to word "fuck" in an acceptance speech for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, you can't use it anywhere. "Fuck" is the singular most rock & roll word in all of existence.
@@kevinb5417 Fuck yeah it is
After escaping Arkham, Joker joined a band and became a drummer.
You copied some guy from the rock and roll hall of fame basket case music video
And Ben Affleck batman
Is in the cure band so yeah
After ruling Russia, Putin joined a band and became a bassist
The best joker ever.
with dr frankenstein and dracula

I can’t help but love the way Billie loves his family!
I think Billie Joe keeps repeating his speech on his head.
3:05 ya looks like he’s trying to remember something he’s mouthing things and looks like he’s focused on something else😂
@@innitmate2198 poor BJ..
Soo cuuute
„you kicked cancers ass“ makes me wanna cry
I cried so much during that part!😭
Honestly that was the most emotional part of all the speeches. Hands down!
"I love rock 'n' roll and i'll love it for the rest of my life", those word stuck in my head forever

Green day defined my teenage years love them ...this moment makes me so happy!
I accidentally paused at 18:01 and it is one of the greatest things I've ever done
LMAO
Hahahahahh
Omg beutiful 🤣🤣🤣
Bahahahahaha!!! Too funny. Def a meme waiting to happen.
These guys are talking about their musical heroes and now they ARE going to be some aspiring band’s musical heroes. Their music just keeps getting better too.
First time watching, Tré convinced me to like in the first 15 seconds
Anyone else just sitting here praying billie doesn’t start crying because I can’t watch that without having an emotional breakdown
same dude same
💓👍🥂
Don’t you mean a 21st century breakdown
@@solsussman742 nice
seeing Adrienne crying got me good
Can’t believe I almost passed on watching it! Love those guys.
My favorite band

Well, they are.

Respect to Tré for giving John Kiffmeyer a shoutout and for John to be there. And for Larry Livermore to be there
The lady crying at 2:15 is Green Day's lead guitarist Jason White's wife, Janna.
As a 31 yo to see one of my favorite bands of my teen years induct one of my favorite bands of the previous generation is incredible
Same. It was so perfect.
Fall out boy was formed in 2001 green day gas beennaround since 88
The warmth and generosity of spirit in this acceptance speech encapsulates Green Day.
Sad and Proud...I'm Fans of Green Day from Indonesia since 1997. So Proud for my Favourite band, Green Day!
We can all agree that this is the most wholesome speech at the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame ever. Love you guys @Greenday ❤️
What three incredible Human Beings, they clearly love each other, those around them, and their fans....Billy Joe knows his musical heritage!! Probably why he covered "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us", so well.....Please listen to the Everly Brothers original.....
Tre kinda look like Buzz Lightyear
i cant unsee that now, can i?
TRE LOOK AN ALIEN
Stop it you’re hurting me
Honor of my life to fly to Cleveland and witness this amazing milestone, crying from the nosebleeds.
And this is why they are in the hall in fame. Well deserved. It could not have been any band better than green day right now.

I went to see them in concert and was blown away.
Dude same 💚
Same! So epic…
I LOVE THIS THEY DESEVED THIS SO MUCH

Best speech yet!
Billie: Punk wedding
Mike: punk putin
Tre: green hair. Period.
He does look like Putin
Billie Joe Armstrong
Best Armstrong in the world!!

Don’t forget 21st century and revolution radio
Dustoxic rev rad and 21CB are pretty underrated

Alot of people ik say all of their songs sound the same bruh no-
Okay, but why did I cry when Tre gave a shout out to John Kiffmeyer? 🥺

Love these three guys ! Love Billy Joe's voice one of the best bands we have in this day and age 💓💓💓

I love these guys ❤️..... my life wouldn’t be the same without them
Nothing is as shiny as Tre Cools forehead...
THAT'S MEAN😭😭😭😭😭
If you look really close on a big screen TV you can actually see tiny people and tiny tables in his forehead reflection.
omfg I hope ur joking
"Oh so you're Tre Cool? Name everyone you've ever met."
Green day should make a movie or documentary about each of their lives. Where each one of them came from.
we are all idiots in our own unique way.🤘🏻🤘🏿🤘🏽
To see them all speak & earn this honor is so beautiful
I appreciate how they let them thank everyone they want to and ramble on. Its just right
I love that ringo was there
Lo vi x TV me sentí orgullosa de ellos los escucho hace 22 años 💚🇦🇷
Loved this!! Thank you guys for uploading this!!
I'm sure Billie Joe's father will be proud
My thoughts all the time
hes dead
Got so emotional wtf😢😢 love this acceptance speech
I THOUGHT MIKE WAS GONNA SAY "i also have a mom who gave birth to me"
