To those of you saying that this song sounds too much like Green Day, I watched an interview with Tre and he said that The Longshot's songs are unused ones from their catalog, so there you go, stop whining.
Pretty sure Billie writes them all, so their “his” so I bet he can and does whatever he wants and mike and tre are still swimming in Green Day cash lol
@@LyraPyxisVT i reckon they're set for the rest of their grandkid's lives, they've been filling stadiums around the world for almost the last 3 decades, that's big bucks.
I have to say this.... Billie Joe Armstrong is an UNDER rated Guitar player. This guy wrote riffs like Holiday, before the lobotomy, brain stew.... i can go on and on. This riff here is amazing as hell. Go Bj and the Longshot!
Derek Thomason I love Green Day and the riffs he writes are amazing and catchy, but honestly they're just power chords 99% of the time. I'm sure he does have a crap ton of talent, though, that he shows off stage especially and this amazing energy.
BJ and the Long Shot would be a better name for the band. But I'd have to agree with @Jonathan Mclaren... He writes great riffs, but he's never done anything to suggest he's a great guitarist. That said, I'd rather be a better songwriter than guitarist any day.
@@jhew6999 Eh, the solos of his first album were DECENT pentatonic, blues inspired solos. Look up "dry ice" for example. I mean he eventually stopped caring about solos as stuff as much, but he had/ has the chops.
He is indeed a great guitar player. He doesnt have to play huge riifs to be great like he is. Music doesnt have to be complex, he writes simple and powerfull music. No one in rock put so much melody and groove like this guy does.
Oh yeah? Well he just released his official Kat Von D eyeliner called "Basket Case" a few months ago, so I don't think his guy liner days are completely behind him, he just didn't feel like wearing it in this particular video. Anybody has the right to wear makeup if and when they feel like it. Join the 21 century you ignorant cave man!
For real though I saw this thumbnail at first, and not knowing what the Longshot was I was like 'He looks a LOT like Billie Joe, but he's missing something'
OHMYGOSH. While I was watching the video I kept thinking why does he look so different? But then I realized HE ISNT WEARING EYELINER FOR ONCE and yes i know he hasnt always worn eyeliner but his most iconic look is with it
The dude is literally 46 and still looks like hes 20 lmao. I love this song. It's nothing groundbreaking or genre bending, but just a solid fun rock song with good lyrics. We need more of this!
[Verse 1] I'm riding shotgun In a car that's broken down Nowhere to run in this city's like a ghost town And I'm feeling like a stranger And I'm stranded in the dark [Chorus] Hey kid, love is for losers now Alright Stupid kid, you're a loser now Alright [Verse 2] My heart’s a has-been For my long lost Valentine I searched the winter For the bride of frankenstein Well we all got our delusions Say goodbye to an old flame [Chorus] Hey kid, love is for losers now Alright Stupid kid, you're a loser now Alright Get it out! Bridge] It goes to show ya Well they say that love is pain Only the lonesome Got nowhere to run for the tears to go away [Chorus] Hey kid, love is for losers now Alright Stupid kid, you're a loser now Alright (Get it out!)
Just finished listening to the album, it was fantastic. Just simple, catchy, classic rock and roll. This is a very fun album and I can’t wait to listen to it more. Thanks for making awesome music Billie Joe!
Can we all just appreciate how different and amazing billies voice really is? The music is absolutely freaking amazing and it made my entire week seeing this, just enjoy some nice new tunes
I need a Taxi Driver music video of Billie sitting in the back of a taxi that's driving around NYC, and then every once in a while he gets out and walks along a street or alley, and then gets into another taxi, and every time they show a shot of the driver it's another member of the band (Jeff or Kevin etc) that would be awesome!
You have to love Billie joe....This guy could have just rested on his laurels and lived his entire life on the first of the green day records and still made a successful career. but B.j. Armstrong might be the greatest songwriter of all time. Think about it, how many hits this guy has had......I love the beatles and the mighty zep. but holy crap. ..........WAke me up when sep., holiday, bol. of broken dreams, love is for losers, basket case, before the lobotamy......those are just a handful..idc what anyone says.......No one is as consistent as a song writer as bj armstrong. Keep pumping out the NEW hits BJ!
A Perfect Circle and Tool have the same vocalist but sound completely different. Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures have the same vocalist but sound completely different. Zwan and The Smashing Pumpkins have the same vocalist but sound completely different. Audioslave and Soundgarden have the same vocalist but sound completely different. Vocals aren't everything. Vocalists form new bands so they can explore new sounds without having to keep within the boundaries of their previous band. This dude just formed like 4 new Green Days for some reason.
Dylan Burton If this song was on the Trilogy, nobody would say anything. Also this song is literally "Too Much Too Soon" in the verses and "Waiting" in the chorus.

It sounds a lot like modern Green Day, but it’s not good enough to be on a Green Day studio album... unless it’s the trilogy. Not saying it’s bad, it’s just simple, fun rock and roll.
It verses are ripped off from social distorsion and the choruses are weak. This new style billie writes is garbage and I cant pin point it as any style other than whiny pop rock with a guy that sings out of his range.
Ik Billie Joe Armstrong will never see this, but no matter what song he sings he helps me. Thank you so much Billie Joe Armstrong. Keep up the hard work 💚💚💚 xxx
1:11 Billie's Basket Case face

@@zagan2551 probably not

Billie without eyeliner makes me remember gold times of Nimrod, Dookie, Warning and Insomniac 😍
i wish i knew the real reason he started that trend in Green Day? does anyone know why
Oh yeah? Well he just released his official Kat Von D eyeliner called "Basket Case" a few months ago, so I don't think his guy liner days are completely behind him, he just didn't feel like wearing it in this particular video.

king for a day explains it all
Crowvamp1979 Quiet, cow. Nobody said anything about him not being "allowed" to wear makeup due to being a male. Take your PC feminist ass elsewhere.

Classic Billie releasing an album on 4/20
Justin Starr reminds me of columbine
He released it on my birthday!
Justin Starr he's Billie fucking Joe! He can do it when he damn well pleases and you WILL appreciate!!!! 😂
And there's a lot of green in it haha.
GengarAirlines you have the best birthday ever
The perfect song to listen to this Valentines day
By who
This is my first time listening to The Longshot ..
Ok, new favorite band!
I played this song for an audition to a music college and I got in. Thanks, Billie. Your music will always be great
What college??
Seeing Billie without eyeliner, is like seeing a fish out of water
why you gotta do him like that, his eyes aren't that wide 😂👀
Guy liner
If you are in your twenties or early thryrties lol
Omg that’s why I thought it was someone else haha
For real though
I saw this thumbnail at first, and not knowing what the Longshot was I was like 'He looks a LOT like Billie Joe, but he's missing something'
The voice is very 21st century breakdown-y. I love it.
And the Uno dos tre trilogyy
OHMYGOSH. While I was watching the video I kept thinking why does he look so different? But then I realized HE ISNT WEARING EYELINER FOR ONCE
and yes i know he hasnt always worn eyeliner but his most iconic look is with it
DJ OK THIS COMMENT CHANGED MY LIFE
Omg yes that's why!!
AND he got his teeth fixed
i was trying to figure out why and thought maybe he wears glasses usually..nah he doesnt..came here n wow :O
DJ OK And his Teeths are different too. But it looks cool. ❤️
Me: Wow this guy looks like Billie
**Hears him sing**
Me: Wait... HE IS BILLIE
Same here...
Same
Same omg
victoria santosh sane here
Thats what I was thinking when I saw then heard this
The dude is literally 46 and still looks like hes 20 lmao. I love this song. It's nothing groundbreaking or genre bending, but just a solid fun rock song with good lyrics. We need more of this!
"You worry, you worry, you worry, you worry"
She...she's figured out...
All her doubts were someone else's Point of view
Are you looked up in a world that's been planed Out for you?
Scream, at me
I'm taking heed just for you
I can hear "Waiting" and "Deadbeat Holiday".
Yeeeees
i hear it as well
You forgot "Too Much To Soon" in the verse part
This band needs another album
[Verse 1]
I'm riding shotgun
In a car that's broken down
Nowhere to run in this city's like a ghost town
And I'm feeling like a stranger
And I'm stranded in the dark
[Chorus]
Hey kid, love is for losers now
Alright
Stupid kid, you're a loser now
Alright
[Verse 2]
My heart’s a has-been
For my long lost Valentine
I searched the winter
For the bride of frankenstein
Well we all got our delusions
Say goodbye to an old flame
[Chorus]
Hey kid, love is for losers now
Alright
Stupid kid, you're a loser now
Alright
Get it out!
Bridge]
It goes to show ya
Well they say that love is pain
Only the lonesome
Got nowhere to run for the tears to go away
[Chorus]
Hey kid, love is for losers now
Alright
Stupid kid, you're a loser now
Alright
(Get it out!)
spyme Thanks! :)
MidnightRamenAttack no problem mate😉
Thanks!! I love u
Natalia Danton can we be friends then?
+spyme Of course! Do you have a social network?
Downtown! Lights'll be shining!
Billie has the same tshirt since warning era
FERBGUNNERXX he also still has the brown striped shirt he wore in several Dookie era videos
Dead Girl yeah....the one he wore in Longview...right?
hahahaha
DobbyDagger yup, and also in When I Come Around and I think in Walking Contradiction
Dead Girl yep....I think he still wears it (when away from the public eye)
Billie's voice has that amazing energy saying ,,I will sing my whole life no matter what and I do it perfectly"
All you have to do listen to his Cover Ups band and you'll find his singing faaar from perfect.lol
@@gmantramp404 you don't get my point, it's about the color of his voice
@@veronicasubliminals5704 You're gonna have to help me out here. What colour is flat pitched?
@@veronicasubliminals5704 I don't hate.. It's just the colour of the way I text my opinion 😉
Good job people, we gave this massively underrated song a million views.
billie never gets older, Damn he is so incredible
Billie: "Love is for losers!"
Also Billie: "I text a postcard sent to you, sending all my love to you."
This man just can't decide, can he?
Also Billie: "Love conqueres everytime"
It's really hard for him to decide, you have Good Riddance subtley telling someone to fuck off, but then you have things like that
That's what I'm talking about
Coincidentally a video of Last Night on Earth to the right of this comment.
It's been one year since this masterpiece was released... But still it sounds great, this song will never get old!
5 years, right now... But I'm still agree with you
Just finished listening to the album, it was fantastic. Just simple, catchy, classic rock and roll. This is a very fun album and I can’t wait to listen to it more. Thanks for making awesome music Billie Joe!

I thought it was some Billie Joe impersonator
@@vinodkumaraug yeah me 2

You are right
Yesss
Just more proof that Billie doesn't age.
Wow you're beautiful
Renato Contreras wow you are THE most beautiful men
: v
melissa thought the same haha
+Rock and lover ;)
melissa I'm afraid to say, he does just slowly. You can tell he's aging though ;(((
I've been waiting a long time for this moment to come
I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS VIDEO
Every frame was so dense...
The video highlights him better than any video has for a long time. Really killer song too
I never heard about The Longshot before, and I'm confused when I first see this video...
WarDimension Billie just started this band like last year so its new. I saw them in concert in June. Best experience ever!
I need a Taxi Driver music video of Billie sitting in the back of a taxi that's driving around NYC, and then every once in a while he gets out and walks along a street or alley, and then gets into another taxi, and every time they show a shot of the driver it's another member of the band (Jeff or Kevin etc) that would be awesome!
That's fucking genius
I think I’m addicted to this song I’ve listened to it 4 times today that’s mental
Everyone should go see The Long shot in concert!! I saw them in June and it was the best experience of my life!
Speed up to 1.25. It's better. Trust me.
Haha totally
Woah, cool
It sounds more like Green Day.
definitely much better
It's sounds more like green day
I WAS JUST TRYING TO EAT MY MEATBALL SANDWICH IN PEACE AND ALMOST DROPPED IT ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE OF THIS

Neon GamesHD2 I almost dropped it because of this. I actually dropped it for Devils Kind because I was so happy! (Also thanks for noticing! :D)
Perfect song for when they ask me why I'm single.

39/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours likely broke even 😁
Mx. Magoo I mean tre wasn’t even the drummer on, slappy. So was it even Green Day... now kurplunk different story 😜
Best Song writer of all time?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 . I think Paul McCartney is about 40 leagues above Billie Joe.
There's a drought at the fountain of youth and I'm dehydrated.....cuz Billie drank it all
NitsaPeacelove fountain, not foundation
Shannon Roberts LOLOL I stan corrected!
Gerard Way stole some too
Hitchin a ride , right?
NitsaPeacelove Such a good comment 👍💚
Gives off ‘Waiting’ vibe to me.
Great job Billie. You never let us down.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams 👌 SO talented 🌟
Ahh what a voice Billie has god bless him....
Taluckder Riam *Billie
he will never get old.
Dude has like 20 bands
And they all sound way too similar
Wedge Salad Maybe because he sings in all the bands smh
A Perfect Circle and Tool have the same vocalist but sound completely different.
Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures have the same vocalist but sound completely different.
Zwan and The Smashing Pumpkins have the same vocalist but sound completely different.
Audioslave and Soundgarden have the same vocalist but sound completely different.
Vocals aren't everything. Vocalists form new bands so they can explore new sounds without having to keep within the boundaries of their previous band. This dude just formed like 4 new Green Days for some reason.
Wedge Salad I mean it's all fun he likes to play small clubs etc and not have the big GREEN DAY name so it's more underground etc
Dylan Burton
If this song was on the Trilogy, nobody would say anything.
Also this song is literally "Too Much Too Soon" in the verses and "Waiting" in the chorus.
Love this song and love the longshots, and I hope Billie does more songs with this band in the future.
Whooo Jeff Matika baby!
Never stop making new music billie, never until you die. You are everything is right 💚
Oh.❤️
I love u Billie. You’re perfect
That chorus....All I hear is Downtown things will be great when you're downtown!
THIS IS A GIFT FROM GOD
Natural Selection well it is God's second favorite band
AYYEEE
It's official, Billie is God
Yaaaaaaassssss
He is such a legend.
I really love the song
Hope it deserve more attention
thank you for great music all the years 😘
Never knew he had more tunes, I like it.
I'm riding shotgun
In a car that's broken down
Nowhere to run
And this city's like a ghost town
And I'm feeling like a stranger
And I'm stranded in the dark
Hey kid, love is for losers now
Alright
Stupid kid, you're a loser now
Alright
My heart has been searching
For my long lost valentine
I searched the winter
For the bride of frankenstein
Well we all got our delusions
Say goodbye to an old flame
Hey kid, love is for losers now
Alright
Stupid kid, you're a loser now
Alright
Get it out!
It goes to show ya

Only the lonesome
Got nowhere to run for the tears to go away

I’ve been following these guys since the 90’s. I really believe Billie is a gift from god.
💔literally billie ever ages💔 such a banger boyz ✨💕
That moment you remember Billie is cheating on Green Day. 😂
No, it's an open relationship lol
JosiePie Bagginshield he’s allowed to start other bands. Besides it’s just a side project. Green Day is still his main thing.
Yea like the foxboro hot tubs
You obviously haven't heard of Jack white if you think he's the only one cheating :p
@@theNEWguy102 The Whites Stripes disbanded
It's the perfect song. Great structure, just under 3 minutes, pop rock perfection.
I saw the thumbnail and I thought, "Is that Billie? That's not him." I click the video, "HOlY GOD IT'S HIM!!!"
same
This song is very underrated!
Agreed
Since bout 16 Years I listen to him. He`s still incredible. Sometimes I think he exists for Music.
my favorite alternative band from BJA so far ;) soooooo good
Love the song, the chorus reminds me of the beginning of "Waiting" by Green Day.
- Hey kid love is for losers
- I've been waiting a long time
I watched The longshot live in Tijuana, Mexico. It was wonderfull.
Don't worry Billie has been in a lot of other bands and he always came back ☺
Billie joe 2013 : oh love won't you rain on me tonight
Billie Joe 2019 : love is for losers
..... Ok
lmao is like
2009 : call the peacemaker
2012 : ... wanna be a troublemaker
Both peacemaker and this current song are sarcastic if you listen to the lyrics...
I interpret it as a song that makes fun of Homophobia.
"Crai, Crai, spesa fantastica"
I'm watching this and I'm wondering, does Bille ever age because my god he still looks great! Hard to believe he's 46!
Correction, he is 45, like the rest of Green Day
He's 46, had a birthday February 17, making him 46
eilis evans his birthday is FEBRUARY 17th 1972, he's 46, the oldest member of the band.
Great job, it's amazing. (Gotta love Billies earring ♡)
Ahhhh this sounds like *Waiting* I love it!

It sounds a lot like modern Green Day, but it’s not good enough to be on a Green Day studio album... unless it’s the trilogy. Not saying it’s bad, it’s just simple, fun rock and roll.
Billy Cobb you said it best, not really digging it that much
It verses are ripped off from social distorsion and the choruses are weak. This new style billie writes is garbage and I cant pin point it as any style other than whiny pop rock with a guy that sings out of his range.
See, I thought it sounded like he was trying to go back to the "Uno, Dos, Tre" sound. Or maybe a tad bit older.
And since when Green Day was anything more than simple, fun rock n roll xD?
I agree it was good but not good enough for green day
The vibes of this music brings back memories😊
You guys are amazing. 😍
0:43 sound exactly like waiting
I just realize that
Congrats on great music
