It's even more surprising you write "Billy" instead of "Billie". Yes, gear is probably borrowed, same story was at their performance in Hotel Babylon, back in 1996...
If anybody wants to hear this performance tuned down half a step like the original. Go to start, control panel, hardware and sounds, Realtek HD audio manager. Then turn the 'karaoke' setting down to -1
Green Day is one of the best live performers. Scratch that. THE best live band EVAR. A lot of other people suck live, but Green Day sounds almost exactly like they do in the studio.
i love this proformance! its not perfect but they just look like thier having an awsome time...and havin' fun.... if you watch mike he looks like he's having a good time through the whole song!
The guitar he was using was tuned to standard E. WICA is played a half step down. Plus the fact that it wasn;t their own gear makes it tough to feel comfortable.
lol I love how people are complaining about the guitars that they used. Ibanez makes a good guitar, big fucking deal if he wants to use one. Also, a whole lot of musicians use both the Jazz and Precision bass mainly because they're both good for just about anything you wanna play. Frankly I thought this was an awesome performance regardless of the instruments. They made this "poppy" sounding song sound like a real punk tune.
2:51 This Mike is on FIRREEEEE, he's screaming on FIRREEEEE, This Mike's on FIRREEEEE/or drugs. And at 2:15, Billie, another reason to keep your little Blue, she wouldn't give up.
i think they borrowed instruments at this gig, they were not actually meant to perform but they won loads of awards that night so they played with other peoples instruments
i agree with tomamo5, Muse is ridiculously good live, then green day. They both have so much energy in their shows its awesome. Don't see that much with today's music. Both bands are awsome

"I heard it all before."
"I sell donuts at my door."
+Alex Baginski haha fuck
"I heard it all before
Mike Dirnt's a dirty whore"
I hear so Albus Dumbeldore
Wow Billie on an Ibanez, how rare!
he stolen that from dexter holland :D
Ladeira Ramone So he didn't. He borrowed that from Bob Kaminski of Brickhead.
i was kiddin'
He knows exactly where and how to continue the solo, trust me this is a pro band! I love Green Day!
i don't think this is their equipment haha
Bille never uses an Ibanez
Warning was definitely an interesting era
No
So true
Well I mean mike dirnts playing a fender bass
This performance with an ibanez is really cool, is one of my favorites performances of when i come around
2:14 me when i walk one step with a cord
This is one of my favorite performances of this song.
anybody realize this was performed in standard tuning?
i did
he's also singing higher too
Me 2
yep
Michael Lerma NO SHIT. OF COURSE HE IS IF IT'S STANDARD. IT'S A HALF STEP UP FROM THE ORIGINAL.
I've been looking everywhere for this video of Billie using this blue Ibanez! Freaking sick man thanks for posting it.
Surprising to see Billie Joe playing an Ibanez through a Rivera amp, I'm guessing they didn't bring their own gear to this gig?
It's even more surprising you write "Billy" instead of "Billie".
Yes, gear is probably borrowed, same story was at their performance in Hotel Babylon, back in 1996...
Kristian Kolar Thanks - spelling now corrected :)
I didn't mean to be sarcastic, I just don't like whn that happens. :)
Nope thats his Ibanez
Al Fian why tré destroyed it ;--;
I prefer blue for this song
just the 3 of them!! glory days!
No one is going to believe me but I was there in SF for that.
Thank you so much for posting this, I missed it when they played it on TV.
it was in oakland at the henry j kaiser center.. i was there
This sounds weird in standard tuning
yes
If anybody wants to hear this performance tuned down half a step like the original.
Go to start, control panel, hardware and sounds, Realtek HD audio manager.
Then turn the 'karaoke' setting down to -1
@SonnyBass16 I know! I've beem watching greenday for years, and this is the first time I've seen him use a jazz bass
Wait are you that dude with the bass channel that covers green day all the time?
@@rydertodd8425 that's me haha
For all the people wondering about their equipment, They borrowed it from a band called Brickhead.
In everywhere and anytime green day is cool
amazing soundlike allways XD ;) love green day
Épic and Classic !!!!
i agree.. :DDD
GREAT PERFORMANCE, ONE OF THE BEST AHAHA
Billie Has the Perfect Voice,Holy Shit...but feels like the blue ( fernadez stratocaster) sounds better for this one.
fender stratocaster
fer bernetxea nah fernandes strat
fer bernetxea Original Blue was a Fernandes. Billie Joe had Fender make a bunch of copies in the 90's.
this song is awsome live!
look at mike's face @2:23 priceless, green day will never and ever be break up like blink -182.True Punk Legends, although im a huge fan of blink 182
Brixton Ave Truth
es u ngrupo viejo y muy añejo que deja huella y esta cancion destruye mis oidos... basico eso necesitaba
Green Day is one of the best live performers. Scratch that. THE best live band EVAR. A lot of other people suck live, but Green Day sounds almost exactly like they do in the studio.
Fender and Gibson best guitar has always been so and always will be.
He really has the whole Grunge look going. He can pull anything off.
i love it how when the guy came on stage then billies face at 2:47 :) his smile made me smile
that was me.. the guy next to me wouldnt go up on stage so i did. they kicked me out after but it was over anyways. lmao
AAAHRIIGHT!
Ur guitar is awesome!!
and its not only the guitar.
the distortion he used isn't crunchy.
It's more of a new metal/heavy alternative trebly one.
i love this proformance! its not perfect but they just look like thier having an awsome time...and havin' fun.... if you watch mike he looks like he's having a good time through the whole song!
The guitar he was using was tuned to standard E. WICA is played a half step down. Plus the fact that it wasn;t their own gear makes it tough to feel comfortable.
this is pretty cool.
@theebriangower i definatly agree with you its the talent behind it,nd billie definatly can make anything sound amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it is the power of Ibanez
Mike's bass sounds awesome here. And I like Billie's green strap.
That guitar!
the instruments must be all like, "Omg green day used us!"
No-one can sing that song like Billie... He just da bomb!!!
Green Day isn’t pop punk, pop punk is sum 41 or blink 182. Green Day is alt punk in their early years, and alt rock in their later years
I love it being .5 step up.
but if you see he plays on third fret, that means that is half step down, if had standard he played in second fret.
love this song
love Billie joe's hair curly
love the jean jacket
love tre as a blonde
i feel sorry for billy when it happened, but it was darn hilarious when his guitar came unplugged at the solo XD
Tre is always is his own world. He is so weird, it's great.
@splotwarren hahaha, that's seriously the first thing I noticed!
Nice.
BJ playing with an Ibanez Guitar ??
And mike playing with a jazz bass! I'd love to hear the story behind why they didn't have their instruments!
Yeah should be an interesting one !!
+Edgar Bermudez especially seeing as they're from California
It wouldn't surprise me if it was just them experimenting because at the time the band was trying to find a new sound
Nice Chuck
tanks, i didnt know..
10/10 points
If it doesn't sound the same it doesn't mean its bad
they actually look like they are having tons of fun unlike now..... hmmm maybe their new song style. Cmon guys bring back the old stufff like this
Green Day usually plays it a half step down, but I don't think they were using their own instruments so it's probably tuned to standard
yes
yep, it will be in standard tuning. Although Green Day played it in half a step down, thats why his singing is a bit higher too lol.
lol i was just thinking that.
haha wow! mike with a jazz bass :O
Who cares if billie is using an Ibenez mike a using a j-bass !!!
2:14 ahahahahah
that's why today, Green Day always plays with wifi jack system ^^
Billie Joe's iconic guitar "Blue" is a Fernandez strat.
doesn't sound the same without blue
Was thinking the same man, but honesty kinda like this version
+Richard Craven haha its not bad, sounds more rock-ish with the Ibanez
Yeah I do agree
@mrciaran96 it was one with an precision pickup (the jazz bass).
Yea first thing I noticed was that this one is played in a higher tone
it's not the gear you use, it's the talent behind it! billie could make a first act guitar and a generic solid state 15 watt combo sound amazing!
lol I love how people are complaining about the guitars that they used. Ibanez makes a good guitar, big fucking deal if he wants to use one. Also, a whole lot of musicians use both the Jazz and Precision bass mainly because they're both good for just about anything you wanna play. Frankly I thought this was an awesome performance regardless of the instruments. They made this "poppy" sounding song sound like a real punk tune.
2:51 This Mike is on FIRREEEEE, he's screaming on FIRREEEEE, This Mike's on FIRREEEEE/or drugs. And at 2:15, Billie, another reason to keep your little Blue, she wouldn't give up.
It's so cool with the Ibanez, it gives that song an extra vibe kind of, you know I mean? lol
Green Day goes Metal😂😂
I don't think they were supposed to play that night, but they won quite a few awards so they borrowed some other bands equipment.
The "me" at 0:31.....
i think they borrowed instruments at this gig, they were not actually meant to perform but they won loads of awards that night so they played with other peoples instruments
Billy playing an IBANEZ?
That's a first.
yea i know didn't know he played one of those too
@saboteur31 I'm agree, not that the song is bad but, they have so many songs that can work as an encore and they are really great
Ibanez
and coz it was an award show thingy, maybe they weren't originally supposed to play so they used the equipment that the band b4 them used..
omg i love the guitare from billie in this video
wow mike uses an fender jazz bass japan special with precision pickup.....
Uncle mike with the sleeves
Probably one of Green Day's worst performances ever......and it's still great
I like it, the Ibanez has a rich and heavy sound, I though it sounded great
No earpieces incredible
The ibanez is a joe satriani sig guitar. Billie owns one like that, so I guess it's not borrowed gear.
i agree with tomamo5, Muse is ridiculously good live, then green day. They both have so much energy in their shows its awesome. Don't see that much with today's music. Both bands are awsome
ibanez rocks!!!
@christherocker98 it is to expensive to let the equipment ship over soo that is why they do an stage destruction and they use other stuff
@breakjama That explains the difference in key then also 'cause they're usually 1/2 step down
@GreenDayCovers101 i know blue is a fernandes, but check the guitar that bj uses in woodstock 94 out. i pretty sure is a fender
Normally they play this in Eb tuning, this is in standard. Since Billie ain't using his own guitar I think this was spontanious.
these guys should like totally be on the cover of like captain crunch
No it did break. It cut all sound coming from his pick-ups, but he was luckily able to restring and tune in time to finish the solo! Haha
Never Seen Mike with a Jazz bass before.
I like Ibanez, much choise but a Fender is just oldschool.. and that's what makes a fender awesome
buen toke
@mrciaran96 maybe it was an highway 1 j-bass or an american standard with s-1 upgraded with an badass II
watch uberproadio.
on woodstock 94 was the best
I love there old music, the music they play now is so different, and boring .. Green Day From the 90's where are you!?
Lo at the solo :P
That jazz bass suits mike
He didn't break a string, he walked too far out and the cord came out of the input on the guitar. All he did was plug it back in.
