@3:18 It almost looks like he is so overwhelmed with emotion that he has tears in his eyes. This is why Green Day is so great and their music is so powerful.
I always like how they communicate, it’s amazing especillay when your excited you can start forgetting like when to stop and when not too but they have that perfect balance.
Billie consistently performed anywhere from buzzed to wasted for years. I was always impressed that he could still play and sing well even when drunk. But when I was watching his infamous iHeartradio show live that day, right away I knew he had crossed a line. He was so fucked up (on god knows what besides booze) that he couldn't even play his goddamn guitar properly and his singing sounded awful which is not like him. Once his problem started affecting his musicianship it was time to cut it out.
Astro Pikachu By the time of this video, they had already gone to rehab, everyone knew they were stoned earlier in their career but at this time, he said it was perscription pills and alcohol
+Oscar Hallgren During the iHeartRadio performance (Yes, the one with Billie's breakdown) He starts doing little dances and stuff during American Idiot. It was quite funny to see, even if Billie being drunk as fuck kind of ruined the performance.
+AdamPlays Music yea, especially despite him playing the guitar throughout. Billie stops whenever he feels like but he has to continue and he plays most of the solos while Billie just jumps around.
+Liam Smith He didn't ruin the performance... It was drug and alcohol addictions it's sad to look back at, but he's better now it still sad knowing that happened
@3:18 It almost looks like he is so overwhelmed with emotion that he has tears in his eyes. This is why Green Day is so great and their music is so powerful.
When I listen to My Chemical Romance, I feel sympathy, or pumped. When I listened to Black Veil Brides I feel like screaming and shouting (In a good way). When I listen to Green Day, I feel at home. I just get this happy, warm feeling that just makes me smile. Before I knew who they were, when I was about 3, I listened to them and loved them and still do. They always make me feel just, happy. They're like comfort songs. I don't know why, they just bring back the nostalgic feeling of joy :)
Green Day are like every young teenage kid's gateway drug of a band to heavier rock music, I grew up listening to like Nirvana, Metallica, Black Sabbath then one day my dad gave me the American Idiot album and the rest was history, was also a mix of Green Day and Nirvana that I discovered Foo Fighters and they're one of, if not my favourite band of all time then from there I got into Linkin Park (RIP Chester) and like Killswitch Engage and stuff then I discovered Trivium when I was like 16 and they've been my favourite metal band ever since
its so strange and time flies so fast....... back in 1990s these were just some punk brats with simple three chord songs and simple anthems to sing but now the same little basterds are nominated for the rock and roll hall of fame and one of the biggest bands workin on planet THIS IS FUCKIN AWESOME............
That is a gross exaggeration, plenty of great singers out there who can sing live just like the record. Not taking anything away from him though. Just saying, "one of the few" would have been a better choice than "the only".
Hot Take, this is the best version of this song, like I always come back to this more than any of their other live performances. What sold it for me is just fully cutting the instrumental during "Were will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself and where will we all go when it's too late? Gives me chills every time.
This performance makes me really happy, they're so energetic, as if they really want to be there, that's not the case for all rock bands who last this long. Green Day showed what they're made of!
THE FACT THAT GREEN DAY GOT INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME IN 2015 IS AMAZING :) THIS IS A TRUE PUNK ROCK BAND THAT TURNED THE RULES OF POPULAR MUSIC UPSIDE DOWN BACK IN THE 1990S AND INTO THE 2000'S , THEY DESERVED IT
This has got to be Green Day's greatest live performance to me. It's been online for years and I still can't get enough of this ol' good rock n roll spirit. Rock n roll will never die
Did you hear how loud the crowd was during the breakdown? They aren't going to mosh but they did contribute, I don't think any band could have gotten the crowd as loud as Green Day did. This is probably one of their best performances ever.
i love the voice strain of the last line..."leaving you behinnnnnd" - this is probably the most high energy performance filmed thats post insomniac years. so awesome.
If you think this is high energy you should see their performance in Berkley 2013. I was there and it's amazing! Just search green day Berkley 2013 and a few songs will come up.
Nobody likes you Everyone left you They're all out without you Having fun Where have all the bastards gone? The underbelly stacks up ten high The dummy failed the crash test Collecting unemployment checks Like a flunkie along for the ride Where have all the riots gone?

And where will we all go when it's too late? And don't look back You're not the Jesus of Suburbia The St. Jimmy is a figment of Your father's rage and your mother's love Made me the idiot America It's not over 'till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burnin' It's not my burden It's not over before it's too late She said, I can't take this place I'm leaving it behind Well she said, I can't take this town I'm leaving you tonight
Easily, in my opinion, the greatest song on the album. The moment when Billie lets out that scream, and the song explodes around it with the pick slide, drums, bass and heavy guitar is just pure goosebump material. I never get tired of it.
You know what Billie, these are the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame awards, and you really shouldn't have said fuck that many times. But you know what, AWESOME SHOW!
The whole American idiot album makes me emotional af! And it is the greatest album by Green Day by far. And the three best songs on there 3. Jesus of Suburbia 2. Letterbomb 1. Whatsername and those are just my opinions but, that album I can relate to. And it all gives me an emotional breakdown. Green Day is the best band ever!!!!
I love how green day has proved that you don't necessarily have to have high amounts of skill to make good music. This is simplicity perfected, and it is fucking awesome.
every couple of months I come back to this live just to remind myself where I come from, I formed my first band around this time its been 11 years and 4 different bands, if it wasn't for my godmother and this record my life wouldn't have been half as fun as its been, I hold onto green day as my compass and they've helped me navigate some fucked up things, lead me to my favourite bands, thank you guys I will always love and support your every move, you stayed true and I can too
Am I the only one that thinks this is one of the best or even the best green day song
+Colton Deschamps I think this is actually one of Billie Joe's favorite GD songs. It might honestly be his favorite.
I agree with atw
+Colton Deschamps "restless heart syndrome" is also a good song
it's definitely their best live song
Agreed.
There is not an audience in the world that Billie Joe cannot command.
Amazing.
Iheart radio 2012 was the worst people wasnt even looking at them, that helped him go into billie rage
Yes, I agree...

Damn right :)

You would never know he's in his early 40's
exactly, he's the fountain of youth
+Andrew Papucci They live this shit! Why they're one of the best at it!

Obscure but awesome choice of song to play. One of the more underdog tracks from American idiot in my opinion.
give me novocaine
Sehr Cool novacaine*
Really? I've always thought that it was one of the well-known ones. Maybe i'm wrong though
I think is Whatsername
Vinyl Collector She's a Rebel is an awesome song too, but that never even got played live other than Storytellers.
At every concert Billie can crack the crowd no matter how professional.
you definitely don´t know what crack is
Cristian Heredia I think the crack might be on Billie’s system

Except for iHeartRadio
@@gruntingskunk2237 True. That was a very dead crowd.

Ladies and gentlemen

Great performance, a true band that deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Green day is going to get inducted 2015 i can tell.
I hope so man, I really do hope so.
They got inducted yeey
Raddison WatsonOner No way..
Hell yeah!!! Green Day's turn to be in the hall of fame!!! 2015 baby!!

Billy cuts the music and then goes on to sing the next verse acepella and fucking nailed it. That was literally perfect
I loved that part

“Rock concert?”

I was always impressed that he could still play and sing well even when drunk.
But when I was watching his infamous iHeartradio show live that day, right away I knew he had crossed a line. He was so fucked up (on god knows what besides booze) that he couldn't even play his goddamn guitar properly and his singing sounded awful which is not like him.

they're all sober now, i think.
Alexander Kundert nah just Billie they said they don't go out and party anymore
Astro Pikachu By the time of this video, they had already gone to rehab, everyone knew they were stoned earlier in their career but at this time, he said it was perscription pills and alcohol
4:12 Lol. Mike was about to sing the backup vocals, then Billie yelled so he pulled back.
haha good catch
Haley Z-Kid lol noticed that too but I like it how he immediately gets it and doesn't sing
Lmao that’s too good
So did jason..notice haha
lol
Holy FUCKING shit I love them
ayyyy justinnn
ayyyy emilio
+Jossie Palmer ayuyyyy Josue palmer
I FUCKING feel you
where's the??...
"Nobody likes you"
"Every one left you"
"there all out without you,"
"Having fun"
Probably not there due to not having the original singer of that line there. Mike sings it in Homecoming though, which would be fun to hear here.
I love ur name
I play the melody for that on guitar and it sounds really good, especially with transitioning from extraordinary girl
In the album
The guitar part is on 6 string, fret 4 fret 2, 5 string fret 1 if my memory serves me right
3:36 Did I just se Jason Jump???? Haha. Good to see him losen up a bit!
Jason doesn't get enough credit
+Oscar Hallgren During the iHeartRadio performance (Yes, the one with Billie's breakdown) He starts doing little dances and stuff during American Idiot. It was quite funny to see, even if Billie being drunk as fuck kind of ruined the performance.
Yeah, I agree he's definitely starting to lighten up
+AdamPlays Music yea, especially despite him playing the guitar throughout. Billie stops whenever he feels like but he has to continue and he plays most of the solos while Billie just jumps around.
+Liam Smith He didn't ruin the performance... It was drug and alcohol addictions it's sad to look back at, but he's better now it still sad knowing that happened
1:12 I love this weird voice thing Billie always does when they’re live.
The best band in the world
Ark Luba gods favorite
fuck yeah
Hell fucking yeah
your fucking right they are.
amen to that.
Just voted for them for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Man do they deserve it.
Oh hell yeah. I can't wait.
Green day playing the song at its normal pace?
WHAT IS THIS?
This made my day 😂😂
I think there was a lack of drugs in this concert

@3:18 It almost looks like he is so overwhelmed with emotion that he has tears in his eyes. This is why Green Day is so great and their music is so powerful.
That's the best live version of Letterbomb I've ever seen.
Billie's working his fucking ass off to get that crowd going.
Goosebumps.
Billie's smile at the end is so cute; how he goes from hype and screaming to smiles because he's just done a show
5:08 Mike eargerly waiting for his partner to deliver the final blow.
When I listen to My Chemical Romance, I feel sympathy, or pumped. When I listened to Black Veil Brides I feel like screaming and shouting (In a good way). When I listen to Green Day, I feel at home.

its so strange and time flies so fast.......
back in 1990s these were just some punk brats with simple three chord songs and simple anthems to sing but now

Agreed, the way he gets crowds going is electrifying too.
My favourite Green Day song, and one of the best life performances they've ever done.
listen to Letterbomb on Awesome as fuck
best live is bullet on bible
__________ same
How Can you say It this is not a normal concert they are at the Rock and Roll of fame, Billie could be more formal
3:38 That split second where Jason jumps but the camera man doesn't quite catch it
When Billie fucks up I think It gives them kind of a grunge punk sound
Billie looks like a fluffy little bunny here.
...at least his wig does.
the fact that your picture is Ralph makes this comment ten times better
@@kalesyps764 yezzzz exactly my thought
I don’t hear a comment saying that. I hear Ralph Wiggum saying that.
A very pissed off fluffy little bunny 😂
If somebody asks me, "what is rock and roll?" I would show them this video. This video has shaken me to the core
Would be a good choice. At least if somebody asks "Is Rock´n´Roll still a thing?"
everytime i see them play, i feel like their playing so hard their gonna get a heart attack lol
Death isn't going to kill Green Day because they're too good
My teacher when i'm jokin' around in the class : 2:03
He got a crowd of deadbeats to clap and sing along and have the time of their lives. I love Billie Joe Armstrong.
I hope they had the time of their lives
Haha Duff McKagan clapping along with Green Day, fantastic!

RJAWolfe 07 that is true. But I personally like him with tshirts more. He looks more punk
RJAWolfe 07 exactly! "Professional badass" is the perfect words and it's like he had given punk a new name
Ali Rafiei The black dress shirt and red tie from American Idiot is my favorite look for them
Suits are punk as fuck
He looks very handsome in a suit
Letter bomb is criminally underrated and is one of the many Green Day songs I keep close to my heart, but this one beats them all.
Hell! The bass sounds fucking amazing!
