Knowledge (Fan Plays Guitar Onstage) & Basket Case & She, Green Day, Hersheypark Stadium, Hershey, PA, August 13th, 2021; Hella Mega US Ballpark Tour with Weezer and Fall Out Boy
That’s my boy, Meyer!!! He’s been practicing and jamming Green Day throughout the pandemic. Hours each day. They are his favourite, but he also loves to play Nirvana, Pumpkins, Foo, Blink and Rage Against The Machine. Proof positive that hard work and dedication to your passion, with a little luck sprinkled in, can make dreams come true. SO FUCKING PROUD. Much gratitude to Billie Joe, Mike and Trey for being such gracious rock stars. Best show ever! Thank you, Hershey, PA!
I shouted to Billie Joe to bring your son onto the stage!! (Well, from Sec. 7, Row P, but I was among the screaming crowd nonetheless!) Your boy rocks! Wish I could have seen his face, but I get that it wasn't possible...
he played opening rif to Longview in record it one day this summer aiiii, also played All The Small Things during tribal, was an honor to be his counselor this past session👍🏻 tell Meyer i said hello & great job🎸🤘🏻
He did great! You can tell Billie Joe loves that part of the show. Green Day is a band that seem to really love playing live. So many bands just go through the Motions, but they're up there having a blast and crowds can feel it. Same vibe I get at foo fighters concert.
Thank you for posting this! That’s my son, Meyer, and we didn’t get a good video of it. So awesome to be able to see this. Thanks so much. Amazing show!
Hardcore kids, punks and skins can talk all the shit they want about Green Day, but the fact that they’re still covering Op Ivy 30 years later is pretty cool.
I was there and this was so cool!! That kid has a story to tell for years and years to come. So sweet. They were just amazing. I didn't want it to end!!
The funny thing is he was giving that kid the guitar, no matter what the situation was the spotlight operators heard it through their comms. I was doing the set changes for the show. I was one of the stagehands that put the grass/fences in front of the drum riser for Fall Out Boy.
This just made my whole day and it’s only 11 am! This kid is amazing! And Billie is so awesome with the kids, love the interactions that he has with them and how kind he is with them. Brings joy to me. Once again great job kid, and congrats on the guitar, u must have some pretty rad parents!
We saw this show in Houston, and when he did this bit, it took him a little while to find someone willing to play...He picked a girl at first, got the guitar around her neck and everything, only to find out she had no clue how to play guitar, lol. In the end, he did find a guy and that guy did a great job! I love seeing kids do it a lot more, tho!
Man this makes my heart happy. Thanks for posting this. These guys have nothing to prove. They are bonafide rockstars. Legends. But they’re also great dudes, with huge hearts, who give a shit. Billy Joe knows how that moment changes someone’s life, every time. They don’t have to give away a guitar each time out. But they do it, and in a way, as we all are together in the moment, it changes our lives for the better, even if just for that moment. Powerful, beautiful stuff. I won’t forget this ever.
BJA was probably dying that he couldn’t smooch 😚 it up with anyone during this time 😅😅😅 that kid’s life was made 🙌🙌 thank you Billie for being the amazing and loving person that you are ❤
I love you Green Day 💚 Billie Joe looks awesome for his age, so cool. Love his hair black again, his wristband, his studded belt. I wish I had been there. Love the boy's shirt and bandana. So cool 🔴👌🇬🇧
What a lame-o. Its crazy cause the actual parents who commented, you can see the amount of love in their messages instead of the generic stuff you bots comment for likes
You know what, i just scrolled a hellamega tour IG's showing this kid holding a playcard written "I can shred"...then this video pop-up right after open youtube
I wouldn’t want to go. I’ve always loved Green Day, and I want to go to one of their concerts soooooo bad, but right now, they’re paranoid (which is understandable), and all the masks, and everything just takes the vibe away. Ima try to go to their next tour.
@@ElbertTreble billies getting away from the strat copy. He’s been pushing that way for a while now. The older he gets the harder it is for him to play the full size guitars. Nothing wrong with a Gibson they just don’t have the same tone as the strat copy.
@@dilldozar296 Gibson is a good brand yes it’s he is the reason I love les Paul jrs. But Blue Stratocaster and les Paul jr aren’t they the same size wise?

@@ElbertTreble I agree with you I’m a fender fan and even though blue isn’t a real fender it’s still the Stratocaster skeleton. Most all of genders guitars are 25.5 inches scale length which is fancy for how long the neck measures. All of gibsons guitars are 24.75 inches so it may not seem like a big difference but it’s enough to add in a whole fret in some models and measures. For the most part it just bunches the frets closer and with billies small hands and old age (and he doesn’t take care of his body) that makes all the difference. It even lets the stings move more on the smaller scale guitars like Gibson. It’s really confusing at first but it made sense once I bought a couple guitars. The junior les Paul is stilly favorite guitar ever but I honestly prefer to play a fender strat or telecaster. I honestly kinda do not like Gibson for their quality and complete capitalist business model.
