    Are you KIDDING me?? This is incredible!! Glen is still crossing over his work, and he never sounds out of element. Count me as both a Glen Campbell and Green Day fan.

    Glen Campbell is not only an amazing musician, he is a true hero as he conducts his final tour, openly allowing discussions regarding Alzheimer's disease and his recent diagnosis. He is a brave man who will do a great service toward ending a horrible disease. My very best to him for a long and joyful life!

    If you're a Green Day fan & don't like this -- you must nuts. Campbell gives Green Day the credibility it deserves. Campbell performed one of Green Day's best songs with respect & dignity. Green Day should be proud. Mocking Campbell is a mistake. It obviously proves you don't know the man's musical history. He's performed on great tracks, with excellent bands & musicians. His guitar playing is incredible. You play The William Tell Overture on an acoustic guitar. He's one of the few.

    Great talent known for his hit songs one right after another. His guitar playing was excellent too. He passed away today August 8th 2017, at 81 years old. For the young people seeing this post this guy in his day was a big time talent.

    I am a Green Day, Foo Fighters and Glen Campbell fan. Glen just demonstrates that for truly talented people such as himself, it really doesn't matter the genre of music. Glen is a musician for the ages. Glen can take any song and truly make it his own, this is the mark of true talent. God bless you Glen.

    A master-- this is how it's done. As a studio musician Glenn Campbell played on countless studio recording as a nameless guitar player in the 60s. Thank god he struck out on his own. His version of this Green Day song shows he is unparalleled as a artist. Gives me chills.

    Here's another "old fart" who listened to Glen Campbell, & still enjoy hearing him.
    Green Day is my favorite band for many reasons.
    Knowing of the rough young life Bill Joe Armstrong had, his determination to follow his passion, using his music to help make his life bearable, as well as helping countless others with his words of "rebellion", his one of a kind concerts, and just his overall brilliance as a musician & songwriter, make him unique.
    Thank you for your version Glen Cambell ! !

    I remember "The Glen Campbell Show" when I was a kid in the 70's and have always liked his music. I have always been a fan of music, especially rock. Billy Joe is great and Green Day, too. Campbell is a master. It really blew me away when I heard Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I then heard this video and heard him sing "Good Riddance" (though the video was before the diagnosis). I really like that song, once again Campbell didn't disappoint. Probably a 35+ year gap there, from when I saw him on his show and then this video, and I can say that he is still great.

  • @VidBrats
    @VidBrats 15 років тому +6

    Glen Campbell was (is) one of the best guitar pickers in the recording industry, having worked as a studio session musician and backup vocalist long before he got his break as a solo artist. In fact, few are aware that he also performed backup vocals for The Beach Boys. He transcended both pop and country music, although most people today are only acquainted with him as a country singer.

  • @GLH5MHIL
    @GLH5MHIL 10 років тому +2

    It must be an honor and a humbling thing to play guitar in a band where the 70 year old lead singer was part of the "Wrecking Crew" and who is one of the absolute most talented guitar players of the last 40 - 50 years....and who even at his age and beginning to see the onset of Alzheimer's can still out play you without even breaking a sweat.

    @crankyerma 13 років тому +2

    It's sad that Glen is suffering from Alzheimer's. What's heroic about it is that he knows and is fighting to get one more album out and tour once more before it takes him. I was never much of a fan of his but I can't think of anything that is at once as heartbreaking and truly courageous. God bless him.

    @sandramitchell9300 7 років тому

    Having known Campbell mostly by his classic hits, such as "Wichita Lineman" I spent yesterday listening to his work - marveling at what an astoundingly talented and versatile performer he was. An enormous range, from covers such as these to his guitar work with Roy Clark to "Amazing Grace" with bagpipes, yet! A consummate musician, even when insidious ravages of Alzheimers began surfacing (Ghost on the Canvas). RIP, Glen Campbell and thank you for sharing your gift as long as you could.

    @olensoifer9901 9 років тому +1

    What a pleasure it is to see "youngsters" who might never have even heard of Glen Campbell, and who might be Green Day fans, appreciate this eminently creative and enjoyable version of the original song. Personally, I'm not a fan of most "covers", but I, too, recognize that this is a brilliant interpretation that occupies a fine middle ground between hard rock, pop & country.
    That is to neither put down the original nor to even compare it to this version. Both original and cover have their own merits and it is not for us to judge one against the other, nor is it, somehow, disrespectful or disloyal to Green Day to acknowledge a well-done cover of the original...but rather to enjoy what each version has to offer.
    In addition, as others have noted...for those who've never heard of Glen Campbell...he was considered one of the best guitarists in history, having backed up literally hundreds of famous performers in the studio. And, while he did not play in this performance, Mr. Campbell's timing and pitch are "spot on" in this performance and no apology for the quality of his performance, at about 72 years old, is necessary or appropriate.

  • @pduvallsr

    I have so much respect for Glen Campbell. He's had his ups and downs but nobody can ever say anything but good things about the music he makes. I like everything he has ever done. I think I saw John McFee back there in the background. What great musicianship in this song and Glen's vocal was made for this.
