This is no coincidence 😂😂
Beeing from Europe it took me a while to figure out what you mean, but now it clicked.
Can someone explain? From Ireland and not clued in lol
@@hehemm1174 Well... Trump got reelected, just like Bush in 2004, and the song doesn´t speak very favourable about those kind of people... the Video was uploaded just around the time of Trumps reelectrion, kinda shows what the channel operators think of it.
When you want to tell something without telling it
Yeah, all Kamala lovers are idiots 😊😊😊
Yes those California far left puck rock guys are sure in touch and speak to me. I take all my advice from celebrities
@@MrRwk314 You're a good apprentice @MrRwk314

@@MrRwk314 Beleiving what celebrities say is stupid... Unless their name is Trump. Then it's okay to uncritically beleive anything a celebrity says, and vote for them to be president and worship them like a God.
David: "and there's something wrong with their drummer"
The drummer: 0:22
I love how Tré got some energy right there!
Thank you, Dave and crew.
20 years later and the song is still as relevant as it was back then.
Yep it certainly is
if not more relevant
@homerzkillet6345 yeah good point
The timing is impeccable.
Usually these videos mark the death of someone. This one marks the death of something.
Yeah... Your Communist takeover.
Intelligence?
We haven’t seen a man beat a woman like that since the Paris Olympics.
RIP democracy (1776 - 2025)
@thedude4672 democracy died when george bush was elected because the ballots were poorly designed and people didn't vote for the person they wanted to vote
"Welcome to a new kind of tension" indeed
Womp womp, Trump won 😂
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak womp womp, nobody cares
@@WoahLookAtThatFreakwe know. unlike you guys, we don’t storm the capital when we lose

Thanks Dave Crew. Perfect song for today.
This made me better appreciate a difficult day. Thanks for posting this.
You guys can't even win an election rigged in your favor.... again 😂
This is the greatest morning in about, oh, 8 years.

@@MatthewSaliba Yeah. The great one was 2020.
Very fitting, unfortunately.
Yep, out with the American Idiot and in with the TRUE PATRIOT.
So true
@@ImSonnyBurnettthe American idiot and the anchor baby raised in Canada
@@ImSonnyBurnett Good luck with the real american id#*t
@@ImSonnyBurnett sir, i do hope you know that green day very publicly despises trump
I used to watch your clips when you have decent amount of cool rock bands perform your show. I'm glad you recently upload this performance. A real true Chad.
amazing to think that in 2004 letterman was still shot in 4/3 aspect ratio ......Great performance by the green day band
Now more than ever.
perfect upload
Thanks, Dave. Crying up here in Canada for you all. Its heading for us up here eventually. Neo- Conservatism. What a plague.
What’s it like living above a giant meth lab?
The Dems are the American Idiot party
@VincentAgostino-gy6hr Ha! Well, the ironic thing here is that when they have driven this world as we have known it irrevocably into the ground and I cant take it anymore, they will become my drug dealer. Good for something after all.
Leftist tears are the best tears.
@ I have a question for you? If DipShit wore a Maxi Pad on his ear all through the RNC, where’s the wound? Where’s the scar? He wore it for one week. Handed them out at the Convention… And yet, no scar.. it’s a miracle ear… Sucker!
Written during and to address the George W. Bush era. Even more accurate and appropriate today.
Sad that 20 years later it's still relevant.
@@Kered-9 Very sad, indeed. And infuriating.
Yep...Greenday was and will always be American Idiots.
@@Kered-9 Far more relevant in 2024 than it ever was in 2004.
Appreciate the care. Music heals
I have searched far and wide for a better televised performance of this song, "American Idiot", by Green Day. This is better than their video, and it is better than their performance at their induction in the Hall of Fame. If I had my own top ten list, this would be on the list titled "The best performance of one of the best songs ever written".
I just love Green Day. They fill the place in my heart The Jam left when they split.
Last night proved the country is chock FULL of idiots. For the 2nd time we become the laughing stock of the planet.
Here. Have a tissue li'l tommy.

Did your mom have any kids that lived?
Can't think of a better soundtrack for a country about to go off a cliff in 2 months. We had a good run, folks.
Its something unpredictable, but in the end it's (not) right. I hope we had the time of our lives....
Letterman managed to put a huge smile on my face. Love the humor. Thanks Dave!
Thanks, Dave🎉
This has to be the most relevant great song even now and I love American Idiot great song and album
Thought this was a new performance of it for a second, still absolutely amazing song and great rendition
Gotta love how jason is doing his best elvis inpressions in some of these shots
I never noticed haha, good eyes
RIP, America.
RIP America Last. Long Live America First!

@@MatthewSalibayeah. Trump is the good guy in this movie. So dumb
It was a good run. Some countries did not even last this long.
1:37 cmon billy. Say the "Im not part of the MAGA agenda"
This was 20 years ago... MAGA wasn't a thing back then thank god. I don't even know where it came from, why it happened, and how it managed to appeal to so many but it needs to stop.
@thegreenthunder2i didnt see the description my bad. Good luck to you americans out there
@Dersephh Thanks. I hope this will only be for 4 more years.... Hopefully these years will serve as a wake up call to how truly awful trump is... and we can move on forward and not turn back protections and go forth on love, not hate like Trump does. Though I'm scared he may become another dictator and bend the rules to extend his terms, or have his followers try to brainwash our people with propaganda. Hopefully this will all be over in 4 years 🙏
The timing of the upload tells the story
Yeah, Joe Biden is an American Idiot.
@@KokoTheGorilla69 did Dave claim to be a perfect christian while running for president?
@@KokoTheGorilla69 Is that supposed to be some sort of defense?
@@KokoTheGorilla69 idk man, if being voted president twice isn't peaking, idk what is
@@KokoTheGorilla69 Laughable
This should be the new personal anthem of the president of the United States.
THANK YOU DAVID LETTERMAN, AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!! WERE IN DEEP DOODOO! THERE'S MANY AMERICAN IDIOTS IN THIS COUNTRY!! KEEP ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD 🌎 😊 💓 🤘 ✌️ 🇺🇲
Question for the other Green Day nerds...is Jason using one of Billie's guitars, or is it a coincidence that he also has a yellow les paul jr in this era?
Also, thanks to Dave and the team for picking an appropriate song for today.
It seems that Jason also had a yellow jr around this time from what I’ve seen
I don't know but have another question for the Green Day heads -- does anyone know what book Tre was reading at the end there?
Perfect song for this day after a difficult election outcome.
Not difficult for the majority of voters though.
Trump 2024
Yep, out with the American Idiot and in with the TRUE PATRIOT.
Murica got the leader they deserve... good luck and all of you stay the hell out of my face for the next 4 years
@@KokoTheGorilla69she never deserved any position she's ever held
Some songs never go out of style. God I can not effing believe we are gonna go on this roller coaster again....

And she knows it
That's why she always insists that I go on it" - Bowling for Soup
I'd rather be on a 4 year roller coaster rather then the 4 year trainwreck we just got off of.
@@ImSonnyBurnett You sure? It's about to get a lot worse.....
@ImSonnyBurnett idiot who believes in trickle down regan lmao
Made me Bang On An Angry Drum!!! But, Thanks Dave, we know you're with us!!!😶🌫😎
As an outsider, this time: it's all you, America. This is definitely a choice. The first time, it's an influenced one. But this time, this is just plain old conscience that doesn't benefit all but a few oligarchs.
Who knew the "death to america" would be self inflicted"?
How do you think the Harris half of the country feels
Hahaha Dave you are still hilarious!😂
Needed this
This account is now my favorite news source. ♥️
@ Me? I’m a demon from the bowels of Hell.
Read my mind. ❤
Sing it!
Thanks Dave!❤
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Very appropriate song today.
Made me smile. Thanks Dave and team.
Dave is the best ❤❤❤
Good timing
Who'd ever thought that 20 years later this album would be so much more relevant.
History repeats itself
Yup, 1933 Germany again. This time in America.
Good luck everyone!
Well played
Good timing Letterman 🤣
The good old days when you could actually hear Mike's bass during live performances.
At least we still have Green Day to remind us who the true American Idiot is! It’s so sad.
Good choice.
I'm sure this is no coincidence.
I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda ;)
Because you've been propagandized by the corrupt American media, as this song suggests. So deeply that you can't even see it
Same!
This song was originally released right after America re-elected GW Bush in 2004 during the early days of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions.🚀💥🔥☠️
This came out before the election. Not many big name acts dared to get political until Bush's approval rating plummeted.
Great song for today’s elections outcome
Yep, out with the American Idiots and in with the TRUE PATRIOTS.
I Need That ! thx
Any chance of this being the no 1 song in America soon?.
More of the strokes please
Or weezer
Hey, remember when George W. Bush was the worst president imaginable?
That was before the world had experienced Ol' Jugears and P3do Joe.
@@user-hm5zb1qn6g How many times did Donny travel on the lolita express? Officially.

The timing of this being posted isn’t a coincidence
Indeed
Appropriate choice for today. 🤘
Great choice of a song for today... I won't say any more for fear of being put on a list of people to be rounded up.
I miss the David Letterman show. Green Day Rock.
I see what you did there, Dave. 😉
And we're still idiots.
A nice subtle message from the letterman crew! Incredible how one album can remain relevant for its entire existence
It's not incredible when it's because it insults the stupid-ass Americans. We're dumber than dirt. Always have been, always will be. Collectively, of course.
I didn't want to be an American idiot, that's why I voted Democratic.
Well played ISWYDT
I wanted so much to post this on Facebook After the election, But as a Canadian I chose not to be offensive.
... Nearly 40 million people made their choice to elect a convicted felon as their President....why ?!!
🤷♂️🎈💥
Half of my fellow Americans deserve to be offended.
YUP!
Subtle.
How sad this is still relevant
🏆
Was Oingo Boingo ever on Late Night? Because Only a Lad would be fitting as well.
It's back on the Billboard chart.
Very a propos.
MESSAGE. I'm going to BLAST this 20yo masterpiece all week. Long Live GREEN DAY!
💚💚💚
when Trump was on the brink of winning, I immediately thought of this song. thanks for this video Dave and to the Late Show crew
I wonder why they posted this...
Very subtle.
It's the end of the world as we know it. I have a nausea and hopelessness that won't go away. This is end times.
I’m glad REM has joined the club.
lol. based.
Sneaky sneaky... 😏
“Good luck in Novemeber” :/
And you're scared of the Beastie Boys...
I see what you did there.
RIP Green Day.
😂 never!
Very apropos.
timely
"United" States
I have watched this many, many times. This is the song of our discontent. Also, I haven't seen a better performance. One more time....
Check out Star Rekt "Cardassian Space Station"
Dave!?!?!
just gonna leave this here....
