Green Day came through my town in 1995-ish. My friend and I drove 30 miles to go to the show and didn't have tickets or money to get in. We just stood out behind the venue and listened through the open back door. There were other "kids" there doing the same, and the little group of us had a fun night. At one point, Billy Joe came out back and spotted us and looked surprised, but smiled and waved, then turned around and peed on the building before going back in to finish the set.
It is time to get right with Jesus. You aren’t going to automatically enter into heaven if you have lied or stolen or had premarital sex. Even one of those makes you worthy of hell fire. Don’t deceive yourself! The punishment of sin is hell fire. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of a future sin when we confess it. When you start to follow him you have to strive to obey what he commands. No one will enter heaven without the blood of Jesus. No other way but through Jesus

@ BabeInChrist fire is pure. Purity is truth. Heaven has no fire. Heaven needs no fire. Heaven has no truth.
I had recently turned 10 when my parents took me to Woodstock 1994. That set totally changed my life forever. Was blown away and I still listen to dookie to this day. Amazing record totally timeless and game changer for generations to come
I got this cd when I was 9 in 1994. I got a good grade in a subject I had struggled with before. My mom thought I deserved a treat because of it. I still have it. I didn't know current copies don't have the Ernie on the back. Kinda makes mine feel a little more special.
I got my 1st copy of Dookie in 2000. All the music I was around I wasn't into, all the rap and hip hop wasn't for me. But I was a huge gamer, I had a Dreamcast at the time, and I was playing a lot of Crazy Taxi. The Crazy Taxi sound track featured Bad Religion and the Offspring, and from there went down the punk rock rabbit hole and found Green Day and Dookie. Green Day is my all time favorite band.
Bless you for mentioning the artist who did the inlay illustrations, I recently went down a rabbit hole trying to find out who it was and was saddened when I discovered the lack of recognition for him and his artwork! Rad content!
I worked at an electronics store in Emeryville which was right next to Berkeley. After work we would go out drinking and I saw Green Day maybe about 5-10 times during that period. It was pretty much just as you described it. Lots of BO, sweat and leather on Gilman Street. Those were the days…
I remember seeing the video for Longview in 1994 and being knocked on my ass! I love the energy, the power, the subject matter, everything! I was 14 when this came out and now I'm 42, I still relate to the lyrics
I discovered Green Day in 94 from their Letterman or Leno performance (I can’t remember). I was hooked. They sounded like an updated version of The Ramones; punk energy with massive catchy hooks! I’m glad then that I still have my original CD pressing with the Ernie on the back cover!
The first album I ever bought (with allowance money) when I was 11 years old. This album, changed. my. life. It really opened my eyes to music at a young age, and though I’m not a huge Green Day fan any more, I still pay respect to them as a band for this record.
OMG I was watching the Woodstock 94 concert this morning on the day you posted this video. Reminded me how it was like the peak of rock and roll in the 90's. I first learned of Greenday on a Beaves and Butthead episode on the Longview music video commentary. When you mentioned about Ernie on the back of the album, I had to rush to check my CD collection, relieved to see that Ernie is on the back.
I remember first hearing Longview on 94.5 KDGE here in Dallas. KDGE alone deserve a documentary as they were introducing DFW to alternative rock that no one else was playing…..yet. I was 17 in ‘94. Definitely a good time to be a teen!
I used to stare at the cover while it played in my dads 85 suburban when I was 6/7 years old in 2006/7. Still one of my favorites to this day and one of the inspirations to pickup guitar!
In 93 I was moving to college and saw the Longview video and I was hooked. I wore Dookie out at Florida State and I can tell you I turned so many people on to Greenday in early 94. Still love that album.
My first experience with this album needs a little back story, I was 9 when I first heard green day and the first song I heard was Boulevard of Broken dreams in 2004, I begged my mum to buy me the album, which she did, then I fell In love with it, so I then asked for dookie as I’d heard that album was also amazing, and I had my dad get a copy of it from his friend, and then he bought me an MP3 player for my birthday that only had enough room for about 40 songs and dookie and American idiot were the only two albums I had on it, I love green day and they’ve got me through the toughest of times, so this album, among many of their albums have a place in my heart and I hope one day if/when I have kids that I’ll be able to spread the joy this album brought me on to them
Somehow my friend Justin was always current on pretty much anything cool happening. He had the dookie CD and I listened to it. Needless to say, I loved it and I became a way bigger fan than he did. I tried to catch the When I Come Around video on MTV with my dad (what a good sport) and it didn't come on. I recall buying the cassette and practically wearing out my Walkman. One time in particular, I had gotten back to the high school from an away soccer match and just remember listening to it while waiting on a ride. It was so peaceful. Those days are missed.
Was very lucky to have seen GD on their Dookie tour. Played at the Emerson theater in Indianapolis w/Pansy Division as their opening act. One of the best pits I’ve ever been in.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and the reason why I started playing guitar. This analysis was spot-on, and you put into words what I could not. Well done good sir!
Green Day was the band that got me into music, I started with American Idiot in middle school and then went down the rabbit hole, Dookie was the next step. When I started my first band we spent a lot of time learning Basket Case and When I Come Around. Good times.
You should talk about warning, I know it’s unlikely that people will see this comment because not many people know about this album, but please trust me when I say that it’s a fantastic record. The best way I can describe it is kind of like if dookie grew up, and looked back on things with a more mature perspective. The songs all have some really interesting lyrics and it’s 100% worth your time. Cheers!
I just gotta say, love your dramatic reenactment for the ad. The time you take with your episodes is always inspiring. Not to mention, all the time you take to explain moments in history like the making of this album!
Excellent job, geek. This was really well put together and I love your enthusiasm. Dookie and Insomniac were among the first music I latched onto as a young kid. Before I was even really a music fan.
My first experience with Dookie was on a school ski trip to France, late 1994/early 95 - all the kids from the year above had it on a ghetto blaster at the back of the coach non-stop… absolutely awesome to hear at 14 years old driving through France ✊🏻
Being almost the same age as Billie , it never crossed mind how old they were when Dookie came out . It was just awesome music . I look back now and think maybe thats why i felt so attached to their music going through the same things in life at the time . Billie put it into words and made you feel what it was like growing up in that era as a confused kid trying to make it through life .
This album came out when I was a freshman in high school and it was my soundtrack to my life that year through the summer. Got to see them that year June 1994 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mtn. View CA. To this day there are still times a song from this album will come on during a certain time of day and it will vividly bring me back to those times of my life, it's crazy how music does that sometimes.
@@seroskal9354 It's a good one. Man, I haven't listened to my Dookie CD in a long time. Bought it back when I was 16 just as it was released, and still have it sitting right here with my stereo! Having the convenience of streaming everything from RU-vid takes the fun out of all of it!

Wow I've been listening to green day for a very long time, huge fan of dokie and I just learned now that welcome to paradise was released on kerplunk!!! It was fun to listen to it from another perspective
First cd I ever owned. Got for my 10th birthday. Still here with that same CD. Jamming on it to this day. Truly a classic album. Reminds me of my childhood now going on 40. Forever grateful for this album. 🤘🏻🎼🖤😎
The first casette I ever bought. To a 11 y/o kid in Eastern Europe this album jaw-dropping and made me instantly love every person who knows it. Heck, still does.
They haven't made anything really great since the 90's imo. Kerplunk, Dookie, and Insomniac were their peak. The success really changed them, as it does many bands.
@@xenos_n. I’d say Nimrod. It’s kinda like London Calling, GD expanded and explored several sonic avenues while remaining absolutely Green Day. They fell off around American Idiot
Well said the last decent album was warning everything after the mascara eye liner wearing what ever it’s called makeup is all nonsense the music didn’t sound raw meaning real good sound true 🥁🎸🎵🤘🏼✌🏼
Awesome video! First time watching your Channel love the production value and design. And 100% the cover got me too I loved to draw and I redrew that cover off the little cassette immediately! Love hearing your story at the end ! It was my first album I ever bought !
finally got around to playing this album front to back a few times and man, it's really cool how much their sound would dip into the coming pop-punk sound that would define the 2000s. all in a year already packed with amazing music.
This album opened a world of punk music to me MISFITS The Ramones NOFX Rancid and the melodies you could actually sing to! I would sit and practice Longview and Basket Case on my new bass for hours while my brothers played video games. Love how they got a good host for this video so well spoken
Same here! Green Day was my gateway punk band that opened the door to a whole new world of music for me! Soon I was listening to Rancid and NOFX, the Ramones, Sublime and many more!
Great video, I love this Chanel so much. I wish I had been just a bit older when this album came out. None the less, Greenday changed my life and turned me into the music lover I am today.
Got a sneak peek listen at a CD bar in Greensboro, NC. From the first note I was hooked and the back cover art with the Ernie doll sealed the deal. It was to be released for sale on my birthday and changed my life! I’ve seen them live in Osaka and Buffalo.
I'm 47 now. I'll never forget the night I was in HS and saw the debut of Basketcase on 120 minutes. GD is my favorite band. Last week I was blasting 39/Smooth in my car and these young kids driving next to me on the hwy were giving me the thumbs up and such. I took the CD 💿 out of my cd player and passed it to them while we drove. I hope they liked it. 39/Smooth is a great album front to back. 🎶 🎵 I also saw BJA on Broadway on American Idiot play musical. He was fantastic. 💚 💩
Just found your channel🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Your closing comments on your introduction to Dookie, it’s influences on you, we’re in my opinion, really added to the product.
When I Come Around your Sassafras Roots, I'm Having A Blast watching you Burnout; so F.O.D In The End, you Chump Basket Case. Welcome To Paradise, She Coming Clean while Pulling Teeth in Longview. P.S. Emenus Sleepus.
Great breakdown, felt like i was listening to myself as you described getting a cassette of it as a kid in the 90s and how this and Weezer blue album influenced you. Love the channel and hope to see more “making of’s!”
I'm a child of the war on terror, so Green Day American Idiot was everywhere for me. It took me a long time to realize there was an entire decade of rich punk history with the band as a kid.
I was around 11-12 years old (2014?) and was just starting to get into music. I saw the thumbnail for basket case on youtube. For some reason, it caught my attention like a moth to a flame. I felt like I had seen the thumbnail in a dream or something so I clicked on it and I had never looked back. Green Day introduced me to pop-punk, punk, indie, everything. They were the band that made me fall in love with music. If it wasn't for them I would not be who I am today. Don't know how I feel about the band almost ten years later, especially since what Billie's son did, but nonetheless, they and subsequently dookie, are the reason I fell in love with music and I am typing this comment right now.
Great video! Dookie is my fav album of all time. I've worn out multiple copies in different formats. Like you, I also credit Weezer's blue album with getting me into my own music rather than what my parents listened to.
I saw Green Day open up in Lollapalooza 94 (The Bay Area). Because they were the first band, not a lot of people was their to see them play. Billie Joe unplugged his guitar and walked around the small crowd. When Billie Joe got back on stage, he was covered in mustard, soda, and other garbage thrown at him. A few moths later, Green Day played Woodstock and everything changed.
I saw them at BFD in 94, at shoreline amphitheater. There weren't very many people on the lawn, and one or more of the speakers went out during there set so we couldn't hear them too well.
As a 90’s teen I was into the Gilman scene; OpIV, Rancid... Green Day was the enemy, the sellout... Until my buddy came back from Woodstock and said “I know we all hate them, but I’m telling you Green Day fucking rocked. Best performance of the weekend!” I gave them a more serious listen and have been a fan ever since.
Great video! I remember seeing the cd for Dookie at a neighbor's house a long time ago, when I was 3 years old. I had always been curious of it because of the cover being hand drawn, and having a bunch of poop all over it. I never got a chance to listen to it at the time, but they let me look at the cover lol.
