    Billie Joe grew up very poor. His dad died when he was young and his mom worked really hard to raise a large family. Green Day released their first album when Billie Joe was still a teenager. He's been married to the same woman for over 20 years and has a few kids. He truly is a poet even if you don't care for the music.

    Having seen them in concert I can say 100% that Billie Joe is an amazing showman! They really want you to enjoy and be a part of their shows. He is known for bringing fans up on stage to play music with them. At the concert I went to he had a 12 year old come up on stage and play the guitar part while Billie Joe sang. He's amazing!
    This song is off the American Idiot album which was more of a rock opera than their traditional harder punk sound like Basketcase from Dookie. He's a great lyricist. You might find the song American Idiot interesting lyrically and the song She is really good. Punk tends to very politically/socially motivated. It tends to be simple, musically, more like pop so it catches you and gets stuck in your head. Please check out The Ramones, The Clash, The Misfits and The Sex Pistols if you want to start back at the roots of punk.

Some good Green Day songs are the classics like Basket Case, Wake Me Up When September Ends, and When I Come Around but other good songs are Welcome to Paradise, Blood, Sex and Booze, She, and Going to Pasalaqua.

      The metal community is one of the main reasons why rock music suffers the way it does as a genre, they don’t think anything other than metal is worthy, they are very snobbish in terms of rock, if there is someone hating on a rock group, it tends to be the metal heads, I have so many friends who are metal heads and they are the most insular rock fans, if it’s not metal they absolutely despise it and trash it, they hate any other form of rock being popular or mainstream, it’s very sad really, I know not all metal heads are that way but the vast majority are.

      I don't hate them, I have been a lifelong metal head of all genres of metal since 1990... I still own their CD singles from Dookie when it was released!! This song here they reviewed, the studio version has a fucking LOT of complexity to it that most people will overlook as they are not musicians, but those who know, will hear its depth!!! Bass as one example, it cuts short a lot to allow the kick drum to be heard through the mix.

    I think what's truly beautiful about this song is the fact that we all feel this way at some point and we can relate to the song and hearing all these people sing about the same things or similar ideas that you've been battling and just knowing "we made it" is the true beauty of this song... never give up and keep hoping keep walking down your lonely road and at some point you'll find that thing that crosses your path which will lengthen your road for as long what is planned for you.
    It brings a tear to my eye knowing how many people forget there's a road and believe they're stuck in this endless cycle but in reality its a straight line and it continues it just depends on whether you stay going or not...

      Not really, it was a mash-up made years after Kurt's death from out-takes, demos and such that the rest of the band did NOT want released as it was not a real song, but her majesty Courtney Love made it happen as she (at the time) owned all the rights to the Nirvana recordings, now it is Kurt's daughter Francis Bean Cobain who owns the right's to Daddie's music - yet she hates Nirvana and Grunge so will not do anything with it until her savings start dwindling... Want NEW Nirvana, go check out the fan made 'alternate new albums' on an alternate timeline in which Kurt did not die!!! These were made using demo recordings and other unreleased parts of songs from live shows or whatnot and real fans added the rest of the band or remixed things to make them real songs and real albums in continuity!!

    Green Day also had an album prior to Dookie that was called Kerplunk, and while Green Day started out somewhat punk they evolved rather quickly more towards pop with punk elements, which made them a lot of money so who could really blame them, for punk I would go more with stuff like the Butthole Surfers, Black Flag, the Dead Kennedies.the Dead Milkmen, Circle Jerks, early Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and early Suicidal Tendencies, then with Dirty Rotten Imbeciles album Full Speed Ahead and with Suicidal Tendencies Lights Camera Revolution and The Art of Rebellion you have full on thrash which is why both were considered crossover bands, Method of Destruction was considered a crossover band as well but never hit as big as even DRI, probably because their song lyrics were a lot more offensive and controversial

    Green Day is a punk band per the style of music but not necessarily the definition of the genre as "punkers" are supposed to be anti-mainstream excess and anti-establishment; so, I think a lot of people say they "sold out" because of their commercial success. Green Day went from independent label Lookout! Records where they released their debut LP "39/Smooth" and sophomore effort "Kerplunk" but decided to go with Reprise Records for their third album in '94, "Dookie". That album blew up and had tracks from it all over the radio and the music television stations, especially "When I Come Around" and "Longview" as well as "Welcome to Paradise," which was re-recorded on "Dookie" but originally was released on "Kerplunk." All three are catchy, very radio-friendly songs. And that may be what drives some of the angst from fans of the punk rock genre. I'll listen to them if they come on, but I wouldn't go out and buy a Green Day album.
    And I don't fault you for queuing them up first when diving into the genre because of their popularity, but I highly recommend one of the bands that started it all or at the very least heavily influenced the genre and the bands that came after them, The Ramones and The Stooges... so sorry UK, the Sex Pistols and The Clash were not the first to do so, but they are also worth checking out none the less.
    If you do The Ramones, "Blitzkrieg Bop" off their '76 self-titled debut LP is a must. 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker' and 'Rockaway Beach' off '77s "Rocket to Russia" are also two Ramones classics. One Ramones song you may have heard parts of is 'I Wanna Be Sedated' off their 4th album, "Road to Ruin."

    Honestly I understand how it feels with a crow like this or smaller. A good 15 years ago I was at a concert by a Scottish band called Travis and there was this one magical moment where the singer came back from back stage with only an acoustic guitar and toild the audience to be silent and that the guitar was not plugged in and would come away from behind the microphone if everyone was silent. The crowd got silent and he did as he told us and started playing Flowers in the Window. The crowd was dead silent until the chorus, everyone was singing along with that and as soonas that was done the crowd was silent again,
    To this very day I still goosebumps when I think about it or tell people about it, it truly was a magical moment for me.

    These guys put on one of the most fun shows in music, and the love between them and their fans is palpable. All are welcome, whether you can sing along or not. The worst you might experience is a lot of f-bombing and naughty talk, but it's all in good fun. The Punk moniker, for Green Day, is about the attitude they have towards rules and authority, much more than the music itself.

    Wasn't expecting this reaction but this is great. Green Day is still my favorite band even though I'm not really into the "pop punk/pop rock" genre anymore. Definitely check out more. I will mention that the American Idiot album (which this song is off of) is a concept album, so there is a story behind it. I think the song title makes more sense in the context of the story. The first two songs on the album is where you should start, American Idiot and Jesus of Suburbia, respectively.
    A lot of punk fans think Green Day sold out in 1994 after Dookie, as they signed to a major record label. Some of their songs from the 90s I recommend are Welcome to Paradise, Westbound Sign, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?, and Good Riddance
    Edit: If you do Jesus of Suburbia, don't do the music video, just lyrics

I like korn an metal in general very much so I can appreciate music in a very similar way than you do, I'm also a christian, so when you say some quote from the bible it brings an extra to your videos. I want to say that green day is my favorite band beacuse when I heard this song on the radio I was really sad and it helped me a lot, and green day made me feel better and learn music professionaly so I save money to buy my first electric guitar, also I had the opportunity to watch them live and to know the vocalist Billie Joe in person, it's an awsome guy, so I'm very happy to see that you wacthed this song live and want to thank you for all the well spent hours doing this channel, I send you a big hug to both and I hope you read me, God bless you guys!

    Vin - I think part of what makes punk "punk" is the attitude behind it. The earliest punk bands sang a lot about being against the establishment and rules and conforming, and the music they made wasn't polished. The songs were sloppy, the vocals were raw, and the production was typically not great. . . So that's why people will say Green Day isn't "punk".

    Green Day is primarily known as pop-punk which was a thing in the 90's that had the likes of Green Day, The Offspring, Blink 182, Sum 41, etc.
    If you want some real punk, you have to go back to the 80's and check out groups like Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Religion, and Minor Threat just to name a few.

    • @KurdtKoebane1
      @KurdtKoebane1 5 років тому +2

      In the 80's Punk evolved into hardcore, so Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Bad Religion were hardcore bands. If they want to know what is punk I think they have to listen to Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, The Adverts, Buzzcocks, all late 70's bands. That's the best way to identified punk, as Vin and Sori are clearly a beginners in alternative music.
      Anyway, the bands that you mentioned are really cool.

    @Vinand Sori heres the background of this song, i took from there wiki page :::
    Background
    "Boulevard
    of Broken Dreams" was written during a respite from pre-production on
    what would eventually become the band's seventh album, American Idiot. Hoping to clear his head and develop new ideas for songs, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong traveled to New York City alone for a few weeks, renting a small loft in the East Village of Manhattan.[3] He spent much of this time taking long walks and participating in jam sessions in the basement of Hi-Fi, a bar in Manhattan.[4] He began socializing with songwriters Ryan Adams and Jesse Malin.[5]
    Armstrong wrote the song about his time in New York City, about "feeling alone" and trying to take power from that fact.[6]
    Armstrong felt the song fit nicely with the album's storyline, which is
    about "going away and getting the hell out, while at the same time
    fighting their own inner demons."[5] The song's concept is from a Gottfried Helnwein painting of James Dean walking through New York with an overcoat on.[6] In the 2005 VH1 Storytellers
    program featuring Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong stated that the title
    of the song was "nicked" from the painting of James Dean walking alone.[7][8]

This song is beautiful and they're more like a modern rock band such as The Who for example now a days, but their earlier career they were very punk rock. Billie Joe Armstrong is a true talent and inspiration to me. Look forward to seeing more Green Day Reactions/Reviews.
