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.
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.
HE SINGS IT LIKE HE WROTE IT. HE IS CHANNELING ALL HIS FEELINGS, MEMORIES AND EXPERIANCES THROUGH THE LYRICS. BEAUTIFUL. JESUS AND PEACE ARE WAITING MY FRIEND. BLESS YOU.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Glen Campbell could really sing anything, and kept his talent polished and shining right up until the end. Thank you for all the wonderful songs from my childhood and teens, and for sharing your ending with us. RIP.
+Kori Biggs You should really check out the Bluegrass tribute to Green Day. It's amazing. I haven't checked, but I'd imagine those tracks are easily findable here on youtube.
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.
I have had the good fortune to shake Glen Campbell's hand, just last year, as far as I am concerned, he has earned his "Legend" status.(and then some) Love this version of this song.
Probably one of the best muscians of the 20th century - from backing up the Beach Boys - to out on his own - Campbell as a true performer - and an amazing talent on the guitar!!!
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.
Glenn Campbell nailed this 100% Think i heard he's retired due to ill health. What ever his long term prognosis is, I wish him well an love listening to his songs
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.
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 ! !
Way to go, Mr Campbell. Welcome back....er...you never left. It's not a competition. This isn't better, or greater than the original, it's just different. It's strong and solid.
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.
I loved watching the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour as a kid (on the family's black and white TV of course) and I love Green Day's music. Good job, Mr. Campbell!
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.
I was not expecting that to be awesome. As a matter of fact, I was prepared to be disappointed but that blew me away. I'm not a country fan but I have fond memories of Watching Glen on his variety show way back in the day. He always seemed like a decent dude.
thats great that he still had an open mind to listen to younger bands and appreciate what theyve done!! great version to!!! god bless ya glenn and god,s speed on your journey!!!! PEACE!!!
One of my very favourite artist , a brilliant vocalist in his prime plus a brilliant guitarist ex session musician can still do a song justice as thisclip proves , but very sad to hear he is now suffering from that horrible ailment Alzheimers Disease and announced he will be making a farewell tour god bless you Glen and thanks for all the great music and guitar playing you have given us,
Like so much of his work, this is brilliant. No matter what the future holds, Glen has left us with three lifetimes of memories and incredible work. He is a gift.
He was my granfather's favourite singer, he passed away 2 years ago.. and my sister did a skydive for bowel cancer, and they dubbed 'Time of your life' over the dvd. This is just a perfect reminder of him. Glen Campell, you are underapreciated.
talent doesn't care who it blesses..just random and God given..hard to accept but not always a good thing. This guy is a great musician.. loads of talent, had so much success..sad to see him in his current condition..made his mark and moving on.
Not too often does an Artist cover another Artist's song... and outdo them. Great band backing him. These Cats are Smokin'. Glen nailed it on this one! +10, Thank you for the post!
why would anyone say any thing negative. Was not ever a real hard fan of his but never had any thing against him either. great song, great voice and God Bless him and his falily
He's as handsome now as ever.Wish he would be more in the public eye.Miss seeing and listening to him sing.We need a good country music variety show.Hey Glenn one like the one you had.It was awesome!!
Just saw him live last night for the very first time. I remember my parents playing his music when I was VERY YOUNG. His show was AMAZING --he played FOO FIGHTERS last night! G.C. RAWKS! I hope I get to see him live again, because I'd SO GO without hesitation!
Such a great performer...played his 'Hand that Rocks the Cradle' at my mother's funeral. His song ;Let Me Be a Little Kinder' is my favorite Christian-oriented song of his. He has touched many lives with his music and his performances will be missed. May God be with him and his family.
The fact that Glen is still universally loved long after his peak is proof enough he is one of the most loved entertainers of all time, even after thousands of singers from the same time period have faded into dust.
i grew up in a small village called ardfinnan in tipperary ireland in the early 1970's, the first song i was able to sing was glen campbells rhinestone cowboy(with my cowboy suit & gun in hand!) happy & simple times they were
Beautiful, Glen! I've loved your music since I was child. As a Canadian, I'm glad to have shared the same continent with you, sir! You're an American great!
Glen got me thru the 70s when rock & roll started getting dark. He was a bright & shining light He didn't just sing about the things of life, he lived it. and his music is moving thru him even in his senior years. Glen, if you read this I thank you for saving my life. your songs lifted me up when I was down many times.God Bless you.and don't stop writing!you soul still has expression, let it out!
A great example of someone that knew how to have the time of his life. Life is a beautiful Thing my friends. The rainy season has started so get ready to get wet every once in a while.
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.

Rest in peace, Rhinestone Cowboy...I hope you had the time of your life. Thank you for being a part of my memorable childhood.
Glen Campbell regognizes a great song when he hears it. Nice to hear him, and his daughter interpret this gem.
HE SINGS IT LIKE HE WROTE IT. HE IS CHANNELING ALL HIS FEELINGS, MEMORIES AND EXPERIANCES THROUGH THE LYRICS. BEAUTIFUL. JESUS AND PEACE ARE WAITING MY FRIEND. BLESS YOU.

RIP Glen Campbell. This is a great version of the classic Green Day song that takes on an entirely new poignant meaning today. Will miss you.
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.
Almost sounds like something Campbell would have written. The best compliment a song writer can get. They share part of the same spirit.
Glen Campbell and "negative" don't ever belong in the same sentence. I love this!
Who would ever say anything bad about Glen....HE IS A LEGEND !!! One day we will sadly miss him.
Glen Campbell's interpretive ability is extraordinary. Never overplayed. Always right on the mark.
Nice cover Glen.
Negative comments?? How could anyone knock Glen Campbell? This is excellent!
MartinBlanford Sempurna, perfect.
What a pleasant surprise this is. Who would have thought Glen Campbell would sing Green Day. How could anyone not like this.
A national treasure. He's seen me through some hard times and good times. I'll always love him. A great artist.

I LOVE THIS!! Glen singing Greenday?? gotta love him..RIP
Huh. Green Day fan here... I definitely wasn't expecting this. Country's not my favorite genre, this is an interesting cover.
+Kori Biggs You should really check out the Bluegrass tribute to Green Day. It's amazing. I haven't checked, but I'd imagine those tracks are easily findable here on youtube.
Same. It was damn good.
Now Green Day needs to do a Glen Campbell cover.
Kori Biggs I was thinking the same thing!!!
Kori Biggs He didn't try to make it his song like a lot of artist do to other artist. He did an amazing cover.
Outstanding song, outstanding version. Can't say I'm a glen Campbell fan but have to say he nailed this song
R.I.P. Glen Travis Campbell (April 22, 1936 - August 8, 2017)
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.
I cannot get over how this song appears to fit Glen Campbell’s poignant circumstance at this specific moment in this exact time.
I have had the good fortune to shake Glen Campbell's hand, just last year, as far as I am concerned, he has earned his "Legend" status.(and then some)
Love this version of this song.
Glen has traveled a bumpy road but how can you argue with his voice or guitar or the message he sends in his music.
His impact on the music scene has been phenomenal. God bless you Glen Campbell.
James P Duvall Sr can't believe he's gone..
Probably one of the best muscians of the 20th century - from backing up the Beach Boys - to out on his own - Campbell as a true performer - and an amazing talent on the guitar!!!
i dont know how he has managed to own one of green days' signature songs, but he has perfectly. just freaking brilliant

Our Glen. Still knocking it out of the ballpark at age 72.
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.
Wow! This is what the song must have been written for. An old man isn't supposed to cry like this just from hearing a song.
Why would I leave a negative comment about this little bit of wonderful? Great song, great delivery!
He looks like the kind of guy that lives life to the fullest no matter how old he is

Thank you for your version Glen Cambell ! !
Great to know that Glen still has that great voice. What a fabulous range he has. Great, as ever!
Rock, country pop and classic...They are all there with Mr Campbell.Thanks for all the great sounds Glen. Get well, please.
BUT LORD I THANKYOU FOR CREATING THIS MAN..
Way to go, Mr Campbell. Welcome back....er...you never left.
It's not a competition. This isn't better, or greater than the original, it's just different. It's strong and solid.

I just love Glen Campbell. Such a talented performer.
A legend!! My parents played his songs when I was a child..his voice has lingered on and on in my life..
Hey, kids, older people identify with this song too! Nice to hear someone my age singing it.
You were one of the best Glen. A genuine talent and a genuinely good bloke
I grew up listening to Glen Campbell. He is incredible.
This is a super song, the musicians definitely know what they are doing.
Glen has always been one of my favorites.
I never thought myself a country western fan, but I must say...this was a GREAT cover. Glen Campbell, you nailed this.
Thank YOU, for letting us all share the ride.
One of the all time great guitar players. Great to have you back Glen. I hope you can find peace
I've got more respect for Glen and what he's been able to accomplish musically in his life than most all of em out there. God bless you Glen.
I'm on such a Glen Campbell fest. Finding out about his illness has made me nostalgic. Love these newer songs he did. What a great instrument he has.
Go Glen GO!!! I grew up with this man's music and guitar playing thanks to my Mom & Dad.
fuck, that was actually really good.
Thank you for all the years of great songs you have shared with the world...I love you, Glen!
what a great song. TRUE GRIT. hey GLEN CAMPBELL, loved your show. totally awesome. sunday night 9 pm eastern. have a great 2011.
I loved watching the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour as a kid (on the family's black and white TV of course) and I love Green Day's music. Good job, Mr. Campbell!
What a lucky guy to be able to share music with his kids.
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.

Still on top of his Game! What a great singer and human being!
superbly delivered by a man with enough under the bridge and on the clock, in reflective and celebratory mode. really refreshing
Glen you have entertained us all for years ... We Love You !...
One of my favorite entertainers of all time. Great voice, wonderful timeless songs.
God bless you as you fight this horrible disease.
He was my granfather's favourite singer, he passed away 2 years ago.. and my sister did a skydive for bowel cancer, and they dubbed 'Time of your life' over the dvd. This is just a perfect reminder of him. Glen Campell, you are underapreciated.

Not too often does an Artist cover another Artist's song... and outdo them. Great band backing him. These Cats are Smokin'. Glen nailed it on this one! +10, Thank you for the post!
this is the sweetest thing i have ever heard!!

Have had the pleasure to meet Glen in the flesh, backstage in Glasgow, What a nice, genuine guy. He sang this that night too, I love it!
Just saw him live last night for the very first time. I remember my parents playing his music when I was VERY YOUNG. His show was AMAZING --he played FOO FIGHTERS last night! G.C. RAWKS! I hope I get to see him live again, because I'd SO GO without hesitation!
Wow! Brilliant to see a fave singer and musician from my distant past still kickin' ass and takin' names!
Way to go, Glen!
Such a great performer...played his 'Hand that Rocks the Cradle' at my mother's funeral. His song ;Let Me Be a Little Kinder' is my favorite Christian-oriented song of his. He has touched many lives with his music and his performances will be missed. May God be with him and his family.
This is an excellent rendition, the use of folk instruments. He didn't try to "modernize"...excellent.
whether its rock or country this song will be forever awesome
One of the greatest Country artists of my generation. I wish him the best!
The fact that Glen is still universally loved long after his peak is proof enough he is one of the most loved entertainers of all time, even after thousands of singers from the same time period have faded into dust.
i grew up in a small village called ardfinnan in tipperary ireland in the early 1970's,
the first song i was able to sing was glen campbells rhinestone cowboy(with my cowboy suit & gun in hand!) happy & simple times they were
Just one of the great cuts on his newest album, Meet Glen Campbell...a great listen.
Not usually a fan of country music, but Mr. Campbell's voice and musicianship is classic and can't be beat, and so sorely missing in today's music.
Beautiful, Glen! I've loved your music since I was child. As a Canadian, I'm glad to have shared the same continent with you, sir! You're an American great!
GODDAMNIT.. Why do people who give us great music like this have to get old... God Bless Glenn Campbell!
The voice is wonderful, full of the experience of life with the face to match..Love it.
i would have never have thought of him doing this song. Awesome!!
I'm a fan of Green Day, and every saturday it's this country playlist on our radio, and the man always plays this version of Time of Your Life (:
What an amazing performance by an amazing performer! Thank-you Glen for the many, many good times....you are one of the "best of the best" !
I've always loved Glen Campbell and this version is great!
Glen got me thru the 70s when rock & roll started getting dark. He was a bright & shining light He didn't just sing about the things of life, he lived it. and his music is moving thru him even in his senior years. Glen, if you read this I thank you for saving my life. your songs lifted me up when I was down many times.God Bless you.and don't stop writing!you soul still has expression, let it out!
Thank you for the beautiful music. Rest in peace Glen.
This is one man who knows a good song when he finds it. A touching and uniquely executed cover - I love it.
A great example of someone that knew how to have the time of his life. Life is a beautiful Thing my friends. The rainy season has started so get ready to get wet every once in a while.
