This was them performing when being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: "Green Day has sold roughly 90 million records worldwide making them one of the highest-selling artists of all time.[249][unreliable source?] The group has been nominated for 20 Grammy awards and has won five of them with Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", and Best Musical Show Album for American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording. In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. The musical was nominated for three Tony Awards:[250][251] The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2015, their first year of eligibility.[252] " This particular song has been one of their top three most popular songs since 1994.
Wearing black and wearing eyeliner is not an indicator of being emo, they are punk rock Billie Joe Armstrong and Green Day developed in the Berklee punk scene of the late 80's
Billie Joe, Tre & Mike have had the hair since the 80’s. They started in the Gilmore St punk scene in the late 80’s, early 90’s. The 2000’s emo scene was influenced by guys like them. This is their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Green Day is HUGE and Billie Joe & Mike Dirnt met in grade school, so they’ve definitely been together a LONG time😂
Green Day live is the best thing that happened to me in my life, they give everything on stage, they go out of their way for the audience, they are always attentive and make the audience participate in the recital. First time I went to see them, they played 3 hours straight without stopping, it was the best of the best.
You got a remember this is the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame induction. Not everyone is there to see Green Day. This is not everyone’s taste of music who is there and still think of that reaction
This song is definitely near the top of my favorite Green Day songs. Very catchy and this was a great performance. I also recommend Holiday, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), and Brain Stew. Great reaction Biss!! ❤🤘🔥👏
60 years+ here. Have seen them live 3 times and this is still my ringtone. Love Babymetal, Lovebites, The Warning, BUT, these are still one of my favourite bands.
Green Day is: Billie Joe Armstrong - lead vocals, guitar Mike Dirnt - bass, backing vocals Tre Cool - drums Touring members: Jason White - guitar, backing vocals Jason Freese - keyboards, saxophone, backing vocals Mark Preston - guitar, back vocals
This was my early teen years. First time I heard greenday I switched from listening to country which was my dads fav to punk rock, alternative and metal. Dookie was my first CD I ever purchased with my own money.
You probably figured it out, but he was singing, "Sometimes I give myself the creeps." Social Distortion had a song called "The Creeps". I don't know if it was a reference to that. Maybe there was no connection. You should check out some Social D though. Social Distortion is an old school Southern California punk band from the late 70s, that were still popular at least through the 90s. They had a really good live album from the late 90s called "Live at The Roxy" (The Roxy is a famous club on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, that's been a very popular music venue for decades). I don't know of any video that was recorded alongside that album, but it's a good one to check out. "Story Of My Life" is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
Oh! This is kind of just random info, but if you're interested, and since I mentioned The Roxy, the guy that used to run The Roxy, also owned The Rainbow Bar and Grill, which has been in some of the Guns and Roses videos you've seen, and his family still owns it, and I think his grandson runs them both now. There was a documentary made about it not too long ago called "The Rainbow". It had been an old Italian restaurant that was right next to The Roxy when he bought it, but then it became a kind of legendary place where rock bands in the Hollywood scene would hang out, when they were starting out, he would feed them when they had no money, and it was just a place where bands had a home and a family that would look out for them. GNR would hang out there, Ozzy Osborne, they have a statue of Lemmy from Motorhead there now because that was his spot, everybody really.
Green Day have been in existence for about 35 years now, which makes me feel really old. This song is from their best-selling album "Dookie" which came out in 1993 or thereabouts. Officially, Green Day are classified as "California Neo Punk", along with The Offspring.
Green Day basically introduced me to Punk Rock, Rock and later Metal when I was 12 or 13, just before American Idiot came out. My older siblings all loved them since Dookie but never tried to hear them, i listened to their greatest hits record International Superhits, and I remember so distinctly a lightbulb going off in my brain, like where had this music been all my life, and I remember raving to my friends about Green Day just before American Idiot happened where they still were not massively known in Pop culture. Without them, my music journey into Rock and Metal would for sure been delayed. Was lucky to see them play live 3 or 4 times for the American Idiot tours and 21st Century Breakdown tours
Saw them back in 92 or 93 (must have been the Kerplunk tour, definitely before Dookie came out) in a small club her in Germany in front of maybe 60-70 people. Good old days.
Hoi Miss Bisscute ( Madalina) 😊 As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🤗. Warmest Regards from the Sunshine State of Florida 🇺🇲🌅🌞☀️🏝️🎹🎸🎶🎵🎤
Green day was big, i guess they still is, in this Punk/Rock scene, they are to me, the early 2000´s frontmovers, along with some others, in this Punk setting stage.. some great songs from them surely, they never made it to be my absolute favirite band, but some very good songs for sure..
Easily one of my favorite debut songs I got to experience in my life. This is up on the Smells Like Teen Spirit level. This song was imprinted into our mid 90s Gen-X bones. Lyrics are 🔥 too.
I don't know what is the same year there's a video out on RU-vid where Green Day audience sings Bohemian I probably butchered that name but it's the famous Queen song. Biss you like crowd reaction Green day was on a brake and they sang Bohemian Rhapsody it was incredible.
Ah, the song that launched them into stardom in 1994. These guys were pre-emo, but the emo punk scene definitely revitalized them. I highly suggest Jesus of Suburbia.
A 'basket case' refers to a crazy person... the lyrics r about him losing his mind 😂 It was one of Green Day's first hits from their 1994 album 'Dookie' that broke the band huge after just a few years of being a band... Green Day was a punk band that was on a small California punk label and had 2 albums released... The band is: Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals & guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass) and Tre Cool (drums) Nirvana broke big in 1991 and Green Day got courted by major record labels to sign them (They treated it like a joke!) But Green Day's 2nd album 'Kerplunk!' was selling more copies just by word of mouth and they realized that they were more in demand than a small label could provide... So, Green Day were finally convinced by producer Rob Cavallo to sign w/ Reprise Records in 1993 and did what they always did - record a new album... (The band said they were paid enough money to record the album and pay rent for a year 😂) Green Day was shocked when MTV put their 1st music video for 'Longview' on air and it got a huge response, despite being a low budget video... The album 'Dookie' went up the charts rapidly in 1994 and then 'Basket case' became another hit single... followed by 'When I come around'... The record sold over 10 million copies in the US and was a huge hit worldwide. However, Green Day were also facing backlash from their own punk rock scene accusing them of 'selling out' and appealing to pop fans... At some point, Green Day had to accept that there were always going to be naysayers... but the people who mattered were the band and their fans.
You should hear Gariel Iglesias and The Gift Basket. He's a very funny Mexican comedian and great story teller with great sound effects. It doesn't matter if you react to it, just watch it. It's hilarious
years ago I was working at Miami airport, and down the plane ramp came down Green Day, all of them! I yelled out "Green Day!" and they all laughed came up and hugged me, they thanked me asked my name, I said "Freddy" and they kept on walking and all yelled out "Freddy!!!". Lol, i'm sure they were wasted but still made my day.
Green Day is like two bands ! Young Green Day is punk-rock ! Old Green Day is more mainstream rock (but with poignant political messages) . The Song : " Time of your life" , was a song about them all growing up, having kids and making the transition from young adults to mature and responsible adults.
Love your reactions and you speak perfect English. My fave Green Day song is Time of my Life (Good Riddance). The songs on America n Idiot are also very good.
Hello Bisscute, it's been a while since you reacted to something in Spanish, that's why I want to suggest a reaction to the singer Mon Laferte, with the song: Tormento, performed live at the Viña del Mar 2017 festival, in her native Chile. Greetings and a hug from Mexico City with the usual pleasure of seeing and listening to you.
i remember watching the video on MTV back in the day WHEN MTV was music and good Green Day were / still is New Wave Og British Punk...ish ( formed 1986 )Billie Joe Armstrong the singer always had that hair style he is not EMO at all
Loved you reaction as always (you and I seem to have a similar head banging reaction to things like that). I was never super into emo music, but I love this song and this is an awesome performance of it.
If you enjoy harmonizing, I would recommend checking out Good Charlotte's live acoustic performance of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." Some of the best harmonizing I've ever heard.
@Bisscute A tip: this song, which is an absolute marvel, is clearly a song more suitable to listen to in its studio version (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NUTGr5t3MoY.html) than in this live version that you have listened. For two reasons. First of all, because the sound of the recording was not very good. And, secondly, because in this live version it has not been appreciated that the song has one of the best drum performances in the entire history of punk. Listen to the recording of the album, and you will see how great Tré Cool is on drums.
Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?
a good example of how in sync they are: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NN9md3fiqJs.html Billie Joe stopping in the middle of a song to tell security to stop bullying people, and then they all start up again without missing a beat
Very nice coincidence your outfit and the name's band Miss Bisscute. Great reaction. Please do more reactions to live performances with big crowds, those are your best. Suggestion: INXS Live at Wembaly 1991 songs: What you need And Suicide blonde.
You need to watch this songs in te version of the concert "Bullet in a bible". It's a really good concert. I'd suggest "Jesus of Suburbia" or "Hollyday", if you hadn't listened them already
The only thing more desirable than being somehow able to enjoy Chuck Schuldiner alive back in time is to have Billie Joe Armstrong's wrist. That's a man who honors his last name lol
The Album this song is on (Dookie) is from 1994...so yeah. It's got some years on it's back already. Green Day for me falls in the same category as The Offspring.
Bisscute, i got a song for you and hopefully to react to it someday Kenshi Yonezu Peace Sign Kenshi Yonezu Peace Sign Its the official theme song opening to Season 2 of My Hero Academia & Kenshi Yonezu is the same singer who sang Kickback Chainsaw Man
