how have i gone these many years not knowing that there was a video to this epic song. stumbling on this... is just... it makes me so happy. o so many memories.
2:50- 2:55 remind me of the time I just lost it after my best friend died in a car crash. Nobody treated me any better, even when it was obvious I was in a really depressed stage. Love this video.
I know this comment is old af but I feel you, I lost a friend when I was a teenager too, I was actually present when they found her body, i became very cold towards friends and family afterwards because like you said I wasn’t treated any better. Hope you’re doing much better now 12 years later 🖤
This is the first time I have ever seen to video to this song, and it is BRILLIANT! Also, someone I know who hasn't even heard of this song(gasp!) says Billie is a great lyricist, win!
@usananana No it's not. The album covers the introduction of Jimmy, his journey to the city to escape his dead end town, his an alter ego known as St. Jimmy that appears as a result of his drug addiction, Jimmy finding a lover known as Whatsername, Jimmy's drugs and St. Jimmy becoming too much for Whatsername and her leaving him, then him cleaning up and heading back home. This only details his introduction and departure of home.
I think it's beautiful that so many people are claiming that this song is "the story of my life". This song was written about a pathetic waste-of-a-life anti-person! It was never meant to be something to aspire to, nor to reflect on and brag about. Billie Joe wrote "American Idiot" (a rock opera, in which this song is only one act) as a criticism of modern youth. If you find yourself relating to Jesus of Suburbia, don't brag about it. Clean up your life!
@jonnycapps music is an art, and as an art its whatever you want it to mean. in your eyes or in billie joes eyes, thats what this song is about but to someone else it could be something completely different and amazing. no disrespect to your comment or anything.
It's not about guitar skills or whatever, it's the meaning of the song. And also, the song is fucking awesome to me. To you; yeah metal is awesome. It gets you pumped and shit, but for me, I prefer this.
this song is very good, I think this style through punk saint jimmy really cool, and I love this video ... Most also think this song is not something desirable. = D
i got a tat "Saint Jimmy" on in between my shoulder blades, not really cause im obsessed with green day more just that this song represents how i feel and lived life when i was younger
@energee41 I don't really feel the need to defend my standpoint, but... Wikipedia: The album's protagonist, Jesus of Suburbia, emerged out of Armstrong asking himself what sort of person the title of "American Idiot" referred to. Armstrong described the character as essentially an anti-hero, a powerless "everyman" desensitized by a "steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin". I know that Wikipedia's not "The Bible", but it has reliable sources.
Yeah of course, I'll put the pic as my profile picture or something, although a few weeks ago i was in an accident and it now has an ugly scar next to it but im sure you wont mind haha.
3:59 - 4:21 where hes just dumping shit eveywhere and that facial expression.. WHERE ELES IS THAT FROM?! Its driving me craazyy ive seen that somewhere eles and can't name where>__<
@ManekiNeko1972 dude what are you taking about this song for sure does not drone on yea its a long song but it pretty much has 5 seperate songs int them in my personal opinion i think that this one and homecoming were the two best songs green day ever wrote.
@energee41 Please understand that I'm not arguing your right to have an opinion, especially one that differs from my own. I was neither offended by your point of view, nor is my response meant as an attack. I just felt the need to quote the sources for my argument, thus giving it a bit more validity. I understand that many will relate to portions of this video. That doesn't mean that they should be proud, much less bragging about it.
@FarmerDingo well if you lived anywhere near me id prove it, i didnt get into hardcore drugs but trust me this was my life when i was a freshman. I acted like a badass but in all truth i fucking hated me life, me and my (old) best friend (we no longer talk much) went threw it together and she hated her life too we got kicked out and more that i dont feel confortable sharing in a comment to someone i dont kno
I wish more people would see this. This is incredible.
same a million times same
Agreed ,but every one's heart doesn't beat the same
Dude this isn't green day's official channel, go to the original, it's actually very popular...

Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave" riff starting at 4:24!!

@callumparsons2010 because 715764 people watched the video with cutscenes, and some don't listen to it on youtube...THINK !
This dude reminds me so much of my buddy. The spikey hair, the eyeliner, the cocain
I am such a Green Day Fan i have the Simpsons song they did on my iPod and its only one word the whole time.
@CookiesAndSuchShizz they were talking about it...i think
@kittylynch007 Which is the reason he's written "Greenday" instead of Green Day... :p
mtoo toop essa músik !! =D
haha i had this cd in 07. what happenned to it????:(
haha^^ love when he randomly throw things around in the store xD
So fucking cute
@FarmerDingo
You dont know me so you have no right whatsoever to judge, this fucking song holds a lot of memories that you would never understand
Cool
Is his girlfriend and the girl with bright red hair the same actress? They look pretty similar :D
Absolutely love this video
Yeah of course, I'll put the pic as my profile picture or something, although a few weeks ago i was in an accident and it now has an ugly scar next to it but im sure you wont mind haha.
@fizzyroxinLV Have you checked the other video? There's like over 4m on it.
Doz anyone notice that the video is jumbled up compared to the story the album tells?
2019 already
@TheLordead this video is saying that his problem was his friends and girlfriends though
This is how cool teenagers would be without hottopic
3:59 - 4:21 where hes just dumping shit eveywhere and that facial expression.. WHERE ELES IS THAT FROM?! Its driving me craazyy ive seen that somewhere eles and can't name where>__<
@ManekiNeko1972 dude what are you taking about this song for sure does not drone on yea its a long song but it pretty much has 5 seperate songs int them in my personal opinion i think that this one and homecoming were the two best songs green day ever wrote.

OBRA PRIMA
man that messed, dissin his mom
wow not a lot of views yet
great song
tells the story of my life
:D
Felicia Fuller congrats your the oldest comment in this awesome song, what do you have to say about that buddy
did I just listen to a lot of songs?
no, just one wicked one.
Zee Killa This was originally a bunch of different songs, but they decided it was all the same story and it should be one song.
1strussell the whole album is one song. They were going with that theme and were trying to tell a story. A very wicked but interesting one
I'm still dressing up like this guy even tho I'm a dad and my children are all K-pop fans.. Shame on them
Agree... shame on them
what a morbid vid, love the song though!
Come back listen again 10 years been too long
I wish all of American idiot got music videos. The album was one big story and it would have been great
look at the nirvana on his wall and i fought the law and billie at 5:21
@expazatron as far as I can tell, there are only 9.
Ai una parte dos x ke ya no aparece ???

It hurts my soul to see him cutting himself :'( I can't watch it. Just close my eyes as soon as he picks up the razor :'(
