Fan plays Billie Joe's guitar on stage with Green Day in Chicago - When I come around & Basket case 

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

I bet that kid.. ..had the time of his life

He lived everyone's high school dream.

He’s so nice for letting Green Day play on stage with him😊

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!

Imagine playing that, nailing the solo, crowd diving, getting hugged, put on your feet, and Billie goes straight into Basketcase...fucking insane

I feel like Billie didn’t know what to do with his hands with out his guitar😂

Bro he even played Blue - Billie’s first guitar ever! That’s sick

He’s been practicing those jumps in his room for years!

billies smile while the kid was playing the solo is the cutest ever, holy shit.

That guy's been waiting for that exact moment his whole. He's a rock star

I'm not a die hard Green Day fan but this still made me smile

He's as comfortable up there on stage as the actual band members.

this guy didn't miss a fucking beat, from the solo to the finish it was awesome. great job!

That dude had a nice stage presence too! They were totally rocking out

Somebody sign that kid????? He didn't even try to be the center of attention and that's a true rockstar!!!!!

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

For anyone who's never seen Green Day live, they do this every show. It could happen to you!

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.

That was a mean crowd dive after... Respect to that kid

I love how Billie puts his arm around the kid. I don't know why, I think it reminds me of dads

2:38 i literally inspire to be this kid- like look at the way he jumped- he was literally born for this

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!

This kinda stuff is so cool. Not many famous musicians are grounded like this and truly care about their fans. Very cool!

This made me remember what it was like being a human before corona virus.

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.

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

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

He’s in a band called Cleveland Avenue. They’re great give them a listen!

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.

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!!

That kid killed it, I can see him being the frontman of a band sometime in the future

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!

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.

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!

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

this is kind of crowd that green day deserve not that lazy bs EMA 2016 crowd

that dude will never forget this...God Bless green day..

You can't overstate how cool it is that this band gives this to their fans

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.

This was the best part of the show. This kid couldn't have done it any better. Glad I got to see it live!

Proud of this dude. Not only he slayed When I Come Around, but he also played with Blue. The fuckin' legendary Blue goddamn

This is real Rock N Roll & living live. Warm-heartful emotion with band & fan.

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 dude is gonna tell that story to everyone with an eardrum for the rest of his life.

One of the reasons why Green Day is among the best bands of all time: *They adore their fans*

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.

This was the most wholesome shit I’ve seen, I really needed to see this in 2020.

He’d been waiting for this moment his whole life...

That kid has got some great stage presence. Good energy and not being a tool. Good on him!

This dude should start his own band hes fucking killing it

jealous for 2 reasons, 1 he got to play with my favourite band and 2 he got to use blue

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.

That kid is amazing and clearly having the time of his life. He’s so natural!

I love how Billie pulls these kids in there with him. They’ll cherish the memories forever.

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!

What a fucking day that guy must've had.

Now this...this is EVERY FAN'S DREAM!! and this lucky kid got to literally live it and dude did an AMAZING job too!!

Wow can you imagine how psyched that fan was to have such an opportunity? He plays pretty flawlessly too!

more bands need to bring the crowd on stage and be more involved with them

letting audience to play on the stage is a greatest things any band could do!

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.

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!

*Guy jumps in crowd* Biliie: DO YOU HAVE THE TIME

“He’s in a band called Cleveland Avenue. They’re great give them a listen!” a comment from Joey Apter that I found deep in the comments.

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.

love how billie gives ordinary people a chance to live their dream

It’s good to see Ninja living his best life

He got so much fun and an unforgettable moment! Good for him!

This was something straight out of a movie!!! So cool and I’m envious! I always wanted to learn to play guitar but being able to rise up right at that moment is a moment he will never forget!!! Nice job youngster!

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.

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.

Notice how he started off playing the song just a little too fast and slowed down with the drums. He has talent.

I have to say this is an incredible moment

I hope he had his time of his life

So, this is easily one of THE coolest things I've ever seen on RU-vid. 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 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.

He got to play Blue ;-: Billie must’ve trusted him. Paid off though, guy was a natural! :D

Billies face was priceless when he jumped on the

I love everything about this. What a wonderful band!

Just beautiful!! Hat’s off to the band for doing this! I love it

Imagine if you were that fan on stage and didn’t know the lyrics 😂

He became a legend among his friends. Cool of Billie to do that.

Love it when artist and fans share the experience ❤️

Never get tired of watching them do this let the fan play deal. It always makes me crack a genuine smile

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 !!!!!

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 :).

This was great and something that kid won't ever forget as he is retelling this story to everyone he ever meets.

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!”

I love how Billie just stares at him at the beginning and then he's like ALRIGHT LETS GO

Thomas killed it.... that was the best show ever

This wound up being maybe my favorite live version of the song, so this kid did a great job

It's such an enviable experience..

As a guitar player, it’s always been a dream to be invited on stage to play with the band like this

Best day of this guy's life haha. Greenday you guys are just awesome!

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.

It's great to see someone live a moment they'll hold for the rest of their lives. I'm happy for him.

You know that just made that kid's guitar dream night. Possibly opened up some music exposure on future events.
